Ban the Bumps with Bikini Zone.

It's ugly - you know, the bikini, um - area. You all know what I mean. The prepping and grooming that is followed by the red bumps that hurt, then itch as they slowly fade away - to only need more grooming. It is suffering at it's worst. I swear.

If you ever wondered what caused the bikini zone bumps, it is most likely those pesky ingrown hairs causing the irritation. You see, these bumps pop up when a hair curls back into the skin instead of growing straight out. Sometimes you might see some pimple-like blemishes created by irritation - and these babies itch. No wonder it is painful with the razor burn and irritation.

Enter Bikini Zone Medicated Creme. If you haven't tried this yet, you must. It is the ultimate "bump ban-er" and works like a charm.

 

First, Bikini Zone contains an analgesic to soothe away pain and irritation. It improves healing by speeding along new skin cells to replace the scraped ones, eliminating redness and razor burn. Lastly, it dries out the small, acne-like blemishes and exfoliates the skin to help prevent hair from curling back into the skin to form an ingrown hair bump. With Bikini Zone, your skin will look and feel better - and the suffering will stop.

You can grab yourself a tube at stores like CVS, Walgreens or Walmart - or you can enter my contest right here and starting "Banning Your Bumps" as I have 5 Bikini Zone tubes to give away! Whoo Hoo!

The contest will run through next Sunday night at 11:55 PM EST. Only one entry per person and the contest is only open to those residents of the continental United States. 

Relax & Wax!

I had to share... I just used one of the most fabulous products ever. No-Scream Cream, is just that.  A cream you apply before waxing to numb your delicate areas that need the full wax treatment.

I applied this cream before I left for my appointment this morning, and by the time I arrived, I barely felt anything. I applied a bit more as I undressed, and this numbed the bit that I could feel.

I was totally relaxed and not worried when my esthetician came close with the wax. And you know what? It really worked, as I barely felt anything. And I swear that the redness I usually see afterward was greatly minimized.

You have to try this, ladies! It retails for $15.95 per 1 oz. tube at DermStore.com.

Down the Drain.

What do you do when your 15 year old son decides that he needs to shave on a regular basis? Not just a once a week shave, but a daily shave with a real razor and shaving cream? Well, you dig into your beauty closet and get him some shaving cream.

So I did, to a new can of Nivea Cooling Shaving Gel. 

This what is supposed to do:
"Revitalizes and moisturizes while shaving. Improves the condition of the skin and helps protect against razor burns. Enriched with advanced moisturizers. Contains Menthol and Vitamin F for immediate cooling and optimal care."

Well, it didn't get too far doing what it was supposed to do. As my son depressed the dispenser on the can,  the gel would not stop coming out of the can. So I quickly ran to my daughters bathroom to see if I could fix it without it squirting out all over the floor, and when it would not stop, I decided to grab the camera and video it.

See for yourself!
