You should perform a test patch on a small area of skin that has just undergone hair removal. Wait five minutes to insure that no adverse reaction occurs. Reactions may be in response to multiple product interactions, wax that is too warm, or poor hair removal technique that damages the skin or possible one of the ingredients in the product.
NOTE: If you have skin sensitivities to other products, please test a small area for 15-20 minutes before using extensively. - LOOFAH PADS: We recommend that Tend Skin® Solutions. not be used on skin within 48 hours after scrubbing with Loofah pads or Buff Puffs,. Using all of these together may cause burning of the skin and increased ingrown hair formation.
- USE WITH EXFOLIANTS: Do not use Tend Skin® Solutions. within one month (or until you are advised by your doctor after having a doctor or salon applied skin peel treatment(AHA's, Glycolic's, Accutane).. The combination of agents can lead to chemical burning of the skin.
- T W E E Z I N G: Tweezing the hairs out of the skin can damage the skin making ingrown hair problems worse! If you like, tease the hairs out from under the skin and remove them conventionally by shaving, waxing or electrolysis.
PRECAUTIONS: DURING APPLICATION
- WET SKIN: Tend Skin® Solutions. should only be applied to dry skin. Wet skin may cause the product to sting.
- FACIAL APPLICATION: Apply Tend Skin® Solutions after facial hair removal in a very thin layer. The entire face can be done using one end of cotton tipped applicator wetted only once with Tend Skin® Solutions. Keep it very thin! Facial hairs are thicker than body hair. Their removal causes larger wounds which leads to more of a stinging feeling when using the product.
- CHIN HAIR PROBLEMS: We recommend that chin hairs (or any hairs!) NOT be tweezed. This usually makes the problem of ingrown hairs in this area worse. We advise seeking electrolysis or laser hair removal for permanent hair removal. Tweezing can cause scarring and infection. Do not use Tend Skin® Solutions immediately after tweezing chin hair as it may temporarily aggravate the irritation.
