My colleague, Jeannie Bush, recommended this product specifically for bikini lines. The first ingredient made me wary, but clients have LOVED it. One of the secrets to using it: Use sparingly.
Vaseline Constant Care Moisture Barrier Salve. It is a nongreasy, water-repellent moisture barrier that protects and provides soothing comfort to reddened, irritated skin. You cannot buy it OTC, but you can order it online. It was designed for ostomy care. You can purchase in small containers, too.
This sounds interesting. When specifically do you suggest using it?
Jeannie recommended using it immediately after a treatments.
One of my concerns was with the heat of summer and the fact that it is a cream, it might generate heat, however, such a small amount is used that it seems to be okay. It reminds me a bit of diaper rash medication…and it does leave a white-ish film.
