Pseudofollicu-WHAT!?!

Hello ladies AND gents!  Today we are going to talk about an issue that affects many of us: pseudofolliculitis, or in other words, ingrown hairs.  Pseudofolliculitis refers to either razor bumps or ingrown hairs without pus or infection.  However, hairs that grow under the surface instead of growing up out of the follicle can sometimes cause a bacterial infection.  When this occurs, the term for the condition is then referred to as folliculitis.

These particular inflammations of the skin are usually caused by depilation, such as shaving, waxing, or tweezing.  It is a condition that is more common in persons with very coarse or curly hair, and also seems to occur more often in men.  Improper shaving seems to be the most common cause of pseudofolliculitis but it can be reversed with proper care.

Exfoliating is necessary to keep the hair follicles open and there are many products on the market that help to alleviate the buildup of your skin cells.  But there is one in particular that I have found to deliver the best results.  Tend Skin Razor Bump Solution-8 fl.oz has for many years been recommended not only by myself, but from most of my colleagues as well.  It’s extremely simple to use which makes it easy to add into your daily skin care regimen.  Take a cotton pad, sprinkle on some solution, and swipe!  It’s that easy!!!

Regular application of Tend Skin will not only reduce the appearance of existing ingrown hairs, but will also help to reduce any redness that appears after most depilation methods.  Tend Skin is also so gentle that it can be used right after shaving or waxing as well.  Some other great benefits that Tend Skin claims is that it can prevent foot and underarm odor and also helps to soothe any redness that occurs from wearing neckties.  I find that so interesting!

Now before using Tend Skin on a larger area, I do recommending doing a test patch on a smaller area of the skin.  If no irritation or redness occurs after 5-10 minutes, you are good to go.  I do also recommend reading through the pre-cautions as people with allergies to aspirin, or those that are on an exfoliating treatment (such as Accutane), should not use this product.

How many of you use Tend Skin?  Share your thoughts and leave me a comment!

Until next time ladies AND gents…  xoxo
