How to use

Use Bump & Blemish on the face, neck, bikini area, legs, underarms.

When should I use BUMP & BLEMISH® ?

Use BUMP & BLEMISH® regularly after hair removal (shaving, waxing, sugaring, tweezing, electrolysis, laser hair removal). For prevention of complications, use once daily immediately after hair removal. To resolve problems, add a second application at night.

It has exfoliating, soothing and skin brightening actions combined to help improve the appearance of razor burn, razor bumps and ingrown hairs, as well as their associated dark spots.

In addition to using our product, if you shave, check out our shaving tips (this page, right insert). Proper shaving technique helps minimize complications. If you use waxing or sugaring for depilation, check out our waxing tips.

DIRECTIONS

Read the instructions completely before using. Apply directly (or with the help of a cotton ball) to dry skin after hair removal. Or, if you are using the roll-on bottle, slide over the skin and target the most recalcitrant spots. Only a thin coat is needed. A little product goes a long way. For example, on average the 2 fl. oz (60 ml) bottle provides 3-4 months of twice daily facial applications and the 4 fl. oz (120 ml) bottle provides 6-8 months of twice daily facial applications.

Shaving tips to avoid razor bumps.

TEST SMALL AREA FOR SENSITIVITY

As with any new product that you apply to your skin, it is recommended that you apply it to a small, inconspicuous area the first time.

WHERE TO USE

Men’s problem areas are frequently the beard, neck, chest and back. In women, the areas most frequently affected are the bikini area, underarms and legs.

HOW OFTEN TO USE

Use once daily, preferably immediately after hair removal, to help reduce the immediate appearance of redness, and also to minimize the “bumping” of the skin the next day.

SHAVING TIPS TO AVOID RAZOR BUMPS

Soften the hair before shaving it
Use warm water and a good shaving gel or cream (those contain hair softening ingredients) and let the hair swell and soften before shaving.
Use a single-blade razor
Multiple-blade razors cut the hair below the skin surface- as their commercials proudly show. This increases the risk that the hair may curl and grow back into the skin.
Use a sharp razor
A sharp razor will allow you to cut the hair neatly level with the skin surface. Replace the blade every 1-2 shaves.
Shave daily
Shaving daily reduces the chance that hair that has already grown and exited the follicle will grow back into the skin creating an external bump. Shaving daily helps keep the skin exfoliated and allow the new hair to grow easily out of the skin. As long as you do it right, it is no problem to shave daily, quite the contrary.
Do not apply downward pressure on the blade
Applying pressure as you shave, tends to damage the skin, and you also increase the risk of cutting the hair too short, below the skin surface.
Shave with the grain, not against it
Shaving first in the same direction that the hair grows, "with the grain", insures that you won't shave too close. If needed, apply a second layer of shaving gel, and shave across the grain.
Use a good shaving gel or cream
In addition to hair-softening ingredients, good shaving gels or creams provide slipperiness and extra cushioning, so you can easily glide the blade without damaging the skin. Lather is optional, many people like to have abundant lather from their shaving products, and that is OK, but is not necessary for a good shave.
Do not stretch or pull the skin
Stretching or pulling the skin may give you too close a shave, or damage the skin.

Repeat the application at night, if you are already suffering from razor bumps or ingrown hairs. The appearance of the bumps should improve noticeable in a few days. With time and regular use, the skin will be smooth and even toned. Use the roll-on 12 ml bottle to target problem areas more frequently.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT
