THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
In 2015, fueled by sheer frustration and a dash of desperation, I decided to roll up my sleeves and create JR's Bump Aid. Done with razor bump products that promised the world and delivered... well, next to nothing, I decided it was time for Jr's to come into existence. Picture this: sticky, stinky, chemical-laden creams that you're supposed to put on your face, hoping it'll do more good than harm. That was my reality, and frankly, I was over it. I wanted something that actually worked without sacrificing my skin's health in the process.
This whole saga with razor bumps? It started way back when I was 14, the age when shaving became a rite of passage. I missed the memo that said, "Hey, maybe ask for some advice on how to do this." Nope, I went in, razor in hand, confidence high, based purely on what I'd seen on TV and in movies. Let's just say it didn't go as planned. Razor bumps hit me hard, and the skin under my chin went from brown to a shade of black, which had me doing a double-take in the mirror. It wasn't just an "oops" moment; it was the beginning of a long-term struggle with razor bumps and those pesky ingrown hairs that decided to make a permanent residence on my face.
After 28 years behind the barber's chair, I thought I'd seen it all. But when it came to battling those pesky razor bumps, I was stumped. I'd tried every anti-bump product out there, but none of them quite hit the mark. Frustrated, I decided it was time for a change. That's when Jr's was born.
Jr's isn't just another skincare product—it's the culmination of decades of experience, trial, and error. It's the product of late nights in the shop, listening to customers' complaints, and searching for a solution. With Jr's, I'm not just offering a product; I'm offering a promise—a promise of a gentler, more natural approach to skincare, leveraging the power of plants to heal and protect. With Jr's, we're not just treating symptoms; we're embracing a lifestyle where every shave is smooth, every outcome is bright, and every ingredient comes from the earth. This isn't just a solution; it's a revolution in skincare, making peace with our skin, one shave at a time.
So here's to Jr's— a product born out of necessity, but destined to change the game.
HOW'D WE CHOOSE THE NAME?
One day, while visiting my father, he noticed the blemishes on my face and asked about them. I explained that I hadn't found an effective solution. To my surprise, he said, "Let me tell you how to clear them..."
Curious, I asked, "Really?"
With a serious expression, he shared, "When you were just a little one, you had similar skin issues. I remember your struggles. But then, I discovered something that worked wonders."
I leaned in, eager to hear his advice.
He continued, "I used to apply a special natural remedy to your skin, and it worked like magic. Let me share it with you."
His words caught me off guard, but I listened intently as he explained the method. Although unconventional, his genuine desire to help me find a solution was evident.
Reflecting on this memory later, I realized the depth of my father's care and concern for me. Naming my product in his honor felt like the perfect way to pay tribute to his guidance and love. Thus, "Jr’s Bump Aid" was born, a testament to the wisdom and support passed down from one generation to the next.
