So this past weekend held my 18th Birthday! (Sorry for the lack of Recipe Saturday!)
I had an awesome birthday with an abundance of cool surprises from my friends and family.
I spent the week beforehand buying cream and being extremely careful with my skin to ensure it was perfect for my birthday. However, I have found that something always has to go wrong...
If you do not know what an epilady is, I'll try and explain it. It is an alternative to shaving or waxing, and is essentially rotating tweezers that grab the hair and pull it out by the roots.
I have used one a couple of times on my legs with no problems. I decided to use the epilady as it lasts longer in terms of the hair growing back.
So on friday night I used it on my legs, and as usual for me, I got a bit of shaving rash.
On Saturday morning I started my new job and noticed my legs were a bit itchy, and by saturday night I could see little bumps appearing on my skin. By Sunday, It hurt to walk on my legs and I realised that sadly, they were infected.
I cant say that I am happy about this, it frustrates me that I try so hard for my skin to be under control, and something always has to screw it up!
Right now I am trying to use salt scrubs, bi-carb, tea tree oil and cream to get it under control. Im curious to know if any of you have had a similar experience, or if you have any tips for me!
Have a great day :)
