Beauty Review: Tend Skin Liquid


My best friend Jamie turned me on to this product late last year after I complained about post-shave irritation. When used after shaving Tend Skin Liquid helps reduce bumps, redness and irritation and also helps reduce ingrown hairs. 

I can't say enough good things about this product. I found it to be much more effective than other post-shave balms or solutions. I shave almost every day and I apply this after I get out of the shower to my underarm and bikini area and it helps calm my skin and prevents any bumps from popping up.

I will admit that it can sting a little when applied right after shaving but I promise it's worth it. It has alcohol in it so it can also be a little drying, especially in the winter. I just lay on my regular body moisturizer after and I'm good to go. 

At $41 dollars for a 16 oz. bottle, it's not cheap but it's not overly expensive either, especially given the size of the bottle. I use a cotton ball to apply it, so it lasts a decent amount of time. 

I purchase mine from Drugstore.com but it's also available on Amazon.

To Soon for Anti Aging Products?

I visited a Clarins beauty counter at Bloomingdales last weekend because my friend Lauren needed to freshen up her makeup bag. I didn't need anything but I happily checked out the products while Lauren chatted with a Clarins associate. While I was poking around, Carole, a Clarins beauty advisor, approached me and insisted I enjoy a little pampering while Lauren shopped.

I'll admit that I'm not one of those girls that love to head to my local department store and try out every product they have or get my face made up at one of the counters. I always research what I want online, go in to buy it and and then head home. I kept telling her that I was fine but she finally wore me down and convinced me to try on one of the Clarins moisturizers, HydraQuench Cream, and I'm sure glad I took her up on her offer!
