Sometimes, skincare products do not need to just go on the face. As long as there’s skin which needs it, that’s where the product should go.
Last week, I had a bit of an incident with my Braun epilator. Through no fault of the epilator, I epilated my arms and legs without prepping my skin first. Usually I would epilate every 2-3 weeks, depending on how quickly the fuzz on my arms and legs regrow.
I’ve been having a very lazy 4 months and I *ahem* haven’t been grooming my arm and leg fuzz much. My skin was dry, and I forgot to slather some lotion on it first before epilating. The process was surprisingly painful (I usually feel no pain epilating), and my skin was left very red and raw. I still have a faint red strip on my legs where the epilator yanked my hair off 🙁
The next day was hell on legs. My arms recovered fairly quickly, but everytime I take a shower, my legs would sting like a mother, and the redness would come back twofold. I needed something to soothe my legs before putting my pajamas on because if I don’t, no matter how soft my PJs are, it will chafe.
Thank heavens for Jurlique’s Calendula Cream.
