"Tend Skin" Alternatives?? It's So Expensive!! - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Anonymity · 12-16-2002, 10:39 AM

So, I went to get my legs waxed the other day, and the
esthetician had me buy a bottle of "Tend Skin" to calm my skin and to prepare it for the next time I wax.

The only problem is that it was $28.00 for 8oz!!! I don't know if I can afford that kind of price. I know it will last me a long time, but money is REALLY tight!

Does anyone know of similar product with similar ingredients that might cost me less?

I left the "Tend Skin" in the wrapper and didn't open it so that I can return it if necessary. Please HELP!!

I have purchased Tend Skin, but it has been a while back. I don't remember paying that much, however. I have never seen a similar product. The main indredient is asprin. Try internet shopping for a better price. Go to a search engine. Hope this helps some!

i've never tried this, but paula begoun says crush up a few aspirin and mix with a little water and use that. kind of a pain, but much cheaper!

Yeah you can make your own...it is aspirin, water, and something else actually...do a search for it on google and it should turn up something. It will end up being the SAME thing as the tend skin 'cause if you look at the ingredients to tend skin it is composed of the same chemicals as those found in aspirin and a few other things...
HTH!
