No Pain, No Gain

I just would like to start by saying that I don't always use Biopelle's products the way that I should and that Biopelle holds no responsibility if you follow my lead and hurt yourself.  I will feel really sorry for you though, if that is any consolation.

So my legs just stopped burning after about 20 minutes of discomfort.  I want to use a self tanner on my legs the next few days so that they will look at least somewhat better with the dress that I am wearing to my daughter's first birthday party on Saturday.  To prepare them I applied some AFA Advanced Treatment Body lotion to exfoliate and slough off all of the dead skin.

Here are the problems with my decisions:

1 - I shaved this morning.  You know how sometimes people tell you not to do something, but then you try it anyway and the result you get is way better than if you had listened to their advice?  This is not one of those cases.  I promise you, it burns like crazy and I really don't recommend that you put AFA ATBL on within the same 24 hour period that you shave.  Put it on first and then shave.

Why did I not do that? Well, there are plenty of excuses.  Mostly that I get up at 5 AM to shower and shave and I don't have much logic or forethought working that early in the morning.

2 - I have really sensitive skin anyway.  I think that the AFA ATBL ranks in pH level around that of the AFA Gel Max, which is the strongest of the gels.  And I still tingle if I use the mild.  So genius.

So given those two reasons, why do I put myself through the stingling agony?  Well, the results are really good, lol.  My self tanner will go on nice and smooth tomorrow, so I suck it up tonight.  I'm a glutton for pain!

The other reason is that I keep getting all of these bumps from my razor, I finally gave up on it and bought a different brand.  If you would like my razor review here it is:

Schick Quattro used to be my favorite.  Then they changed them so that the strips now have aloe in them and when I used them my legs would break out.  It was terrible!  So I switched to Venus, which is just okay in my book, not nearly as close of a shave as the Quattro, but no break outs so I stuck with it.  Then Schick must have gotten a lot of complaints from people like me because they introduce new "Sensitive" razors that I had hoped were the old formulation.  It appears not though as they are still making me break out.

So if you have a good razor recommendation I will gladly take it!

Until then, I shall twitch away, resisting the urge to wash my legs as I exfoliate away the dead skin and impurities on my gams.  I do not suggest that you do the same...
