Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’ve never written an amazon review before but i thought that this product deserved to be my very first. Let me tell you all about the razor burn trauma that i have been living through over the past month! I had shaved two nights in a row, which was a rare act for me, before i realized that i had developed nasty razor bumps all up and down my leg. After that realization, I scoured the internet for any helpful tips and tricks that could help me resolve my unsightly problem in a short time: lathering aloe vera on my bumps??? didn’t work. spraying tea trea oil, my usual go to for pimples and the like??? didn’t work. hydrocortisone cream??? i believe that made a rash develop and the bumps to spread on other areas of my skin. So after two weeks of using and abusing home remedies for razor bumps and seeing no results and further irritating my skin, I decided to order Tend Skin in a last ditch effort before I took myself to a dermatologist. Now if I’m being honest I wasn’t too impressed with Tend Skin at the get go. I used it day and night, using a cotton ball or a piece of toilet paper to wipe on the affected area, without seeing any results. I was getting frustrated, as any millennial american kid would, because I wanted instant satisfaction. Where were these life changing results that I had obsessively read through on the reviews??? Was it me?? Was I one of those unlucky people who had received a fake version?? My patience and overall self esteem were thinning the longer I had to stare at my unsightly bumps and the hair that I was unwillingly chose to grow out on my legs as a result of the damage! I was determined to make this product work damnit!!! So i took a new approach to the product, I immediately found a travel sized spray bottle and dumped some of the product in there too see if the way I was applying was the culprit of minimal results. I then decided I would spray a generous amount on the affected areas three times a day for the next week... that’s all I was giving myself. Two weeks should have been enough time to see some type of result! I was looking for anything! I would take one bump minimization as a sign that all hope shouldn’t be lost at this point!! Well, at the beginning of the second week I was still not seeing what I wanted... if anything I thought the razor bumps were spreading to other areas on my leg (which could have been a side affect from the hydrocortisone cream and not shaving now that i look back on it) and my leg begqn peeling from overuse of the product. So great!! Now i had an army of angry red bumps that I could see even in my nightmares AND dead skin. What a pair! I was blessing whatever God or Force of nature out there that it was winter and the appearance of my legs mattered to nobody but me as long as it was -10 degrees out. So to counteract my peeling skin I found some skin dimensions moisturizing lotion, that had glycolic acid as one of the ingredients I might mention (over obsessive research on google instilled me with the knowledge that this, along with salicylic acid, are the two most common ingredients in products that help fight off razor bumps and ingrown hairs) and i lathered that sucker on about 10 times a day or whenever I found myself extra time and I wasn’t confined in jeans or sweatpants. This was around the week and a half mark, and I might mention that I had been plagued with these bumps for almost a month so i was rightly fed up with their sight, and then I, DRUMROLL PLEASE....., FINALLY SAW RESULTS!!!!!!! I was finally waking up in the morning and seeing some of my razor bumps fading and getting smaller. Now I don’t know if it was my overuse of the product, moisturizing before, after, and in between product application, not shaving my legs, or divine intervention but I was finally seeing results. It’s now a day before I have been using Tend Skin for 2 weeks and the results are only getting more satisfying. The bumps aren’t completely gone by any means, there are still a few suckers that refuse to budge... i mean really?? Just like Regina George in Mean Girls: “Why are you so obsessed with me?!”. But I’m sure with continued use 2-3 times a day, using the moisturizer, and embracing my hairy leg I too will be able to shave again. So this harrowing tale and product hasn’t been for naught.. You too can see results. My advice to you, dear reader, is to be patient! I know that sounds laughable coming from the girl who obsessively took pictures of her leg every day to see if there were any results but this is all I can give to you! Moisturize... find one with glycolic acid if you can because I swear that helped speed up the healing and fading process twice as fast. Also don’t shave!! I’m pretty sure I further irritated my leg during my helpless attempts to maintain a semblence of society pressured appropriate feminine hygiene by shaving around the affected area. If you botched your leg just as bad as I did BUY THIS PRODUCT but give it time, I didn’t see results until a week and a half into my Tend Skin journey. p.s. Refrain from overusing your power to google your symptoms if you are anxious for results!! This can only lead you down a very dark path where your only options are either death or living with the problem for the rest of your life! It’s usually not that dramatic but it can be hard to convince yourself otherwise when you have an overload of information at your fingertips! before and after pictures included!! i would be sorry for my hairy legs but I’m not!!! Xo hope this helps
