A persistent inflammation caused by shaving.
Make your own TendSkin ∞
(untested) Recipe one ∞
3 TBS. Witch hazel (a little less than 3) and 4 crushed tabs of uncoated aspirin
(COMBINE)
1/3 c. 70% Rubbing alcohol and 9 crushed tabs of uncoated aspirin
(COMBINE)
Combine the mixtures.
Apply for ingrown hairs, razor burn, and razor bumps :]
(untested) Recipe two ∞
Add 3 tsp fog juice and 3tsp dish soap to make it closer to the patent for TendSkin.
The recipe, as derived from the patents:
- acetylsalicylic acid 5% by weight (asprin)
- propylene glycol 5-15% by vol (fog juice)
- glycerine 1-10% by vol (dish soap)
-
balance with isopropyl alcohol
The witch hazel is, of course, optional, but as witch hazel is an astringent topical anti inflammatory, it doesn’t hurt to have it in there.
