Guy in the video definitely had some great tips. Thanks for posting that link too Rich. I've never heard of Tend Skin. I'm going out today to buy ingredients to make my own and will pick up a moisturizer. Anyone have any moisturizer they prefer over another? I have some Geo F. Trumper coral skin food. My wife uses oil of olay.

Drink more water, use moisturizer. Palmer's Cocoa Butter works pretty good for even skin tone.

Start reading labels. Something labelled as "natural" or "all natural" doesn't mean shit. A good rule of thumb is if you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your skin, because shockingly, it goes in your body.

**archibaldcrane** · 2012-09-06 13:38

Why do you care if it's all natural? Shouldn't you care more about what works the best?

Because looking like this:

, is something I'd like to avoid.

I'd go as far as to say that you should be more skeptical of "all natural" products than those lacking such a label.

All natural has a habit of meaning that "we've taken every plant we could find in our backyard and it works without laboratory testing because they're plants and also because plants."

**isladar** · 2012-09-06 15:51

That wasn't what I was getting at (and if I see a homeopathy discussion start up I will nuke this from orbit), more that there are no definitions as to what constitutes "natural". If you're trying to find soap or shampoo that doesn't have sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate in it, read the label, not the "WITH ALL-NATURAL PLANT BITS" on the front.

**Kalmado** · 2012-09-06 16:43

I was having a discussion w/a friend about food labeled with "all natural ingredients", yet those specific ingredients aren't listed on the packaging.

@Milkster
I don't understand your spoilered thing.

I've made the DiY Tend Skin and will start applying it tonight. Comments from the actual product page on Amazon suggest results as fast as two days. We shall see.

Is Tendskin meant only for razor burn/bumps?

**Kalmado** · 2012-09-06 16:57

What I was reading earlier, aspirin is supposed to help with acne as well.

Everything that physically exists is natural. Hairless apes whacking it with rocks and mixing it together doesn't make it unnatural.

no homo man, but i love your skin. your skin is a blessing and i wish i could use it for a day. being in between yellow and dark sucks lol. in the summer, i do get pretty dark, but in the winter, i look like a bollywood african.

and np! tendskin is used primarily for razor bumps but like he said earlier, it can treat acne ( to a certain extent) as well.

i also agree with isla. i've purchased 100's of dollars of beauty products and the best results i've ever gotten were from pure ingredients and plants. aka, aloe, cocoa , coconut oil/milk, extra virgin oilve oil, etc. since pure morracan/argon oil is expensive as heck, i actually do purchase the gimmick ones ;x lol. it helps settle the volume on your hair and lets it actually relax down and not frizz up which is a big problem in the summer, fall time.

lately, i havent been caring as much for it. my hair is still growing and im cutting it every 3-4 months for split ends, but stick to things you can buy at those hippy stores in pure forms in my opinion. eggs and milk sound ridiculous, but my gosh, its soooooo good for your hair, skin and nails. all that biotin and folic acid will make you a boss

**Abandon** · 2012-09-06 22:11

In the summertime I avoid taking pics in clubs; waste of battery, as the flash sure as shit ain't gonna find me. And with my Caribbean/African hair, lord knows I don't need to strengthen my hair. I'll fuck up a barber's clippers in no time if I did that. BUT I BE MAKIN NIGGAS SEASICK WIT DEM WAVES, SON

As far as moisturizers go, I've been using Dove's various body washes for a few years now, and I don't even really come out of the shower. I don't fear forgetting to lotion up afterwards either; shit has served me well. Dove + loofa = white bitches

Once a week rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar, it is seriously fucking magic. If you don't want to do pure vinegar, mix apple cider vinegar with a shampoo or liquid soap without sulphates in it and use that every other shampoo.

I can't be the only one that thinks that shit you rub all over your nuts and upper-balls region shouldn't go on your face.

You look like you have all the right stuffs down to delicious GFT. Only thing that I can come up with is not enough hot water prep or your blade/razor combo. Have you tried doing a hot shower then stepping out to shave? If you're using a safety razor then I would say maybe a Fatboy or something similar that is adjustable to tame the blade and try a few shaves with a fresh blade every time.

For cuts its something you'll learn over time. Short strokes, holding the razor in a pinch motion at the end, *light* pressure, 45 angle, not running over bare skin, WTG -> XTG -> ATG, etc.

If you're still getting burned then you have some insane 3rd percentile skin and be more something a derma could spot.
