INTRODUCING THE HAIRMAX UNISEX HAIRCARE PRODUCT LINE. SYNERGISTICALLY COMBINING NATURE AND SCIENCE TO BRING YOU A COMPLETE HAIR SOLUTION. WWW.HAIRMAX.COM

The developers of Hairmax at home hair care product line know a thing or two about providing hair with more luster, shine and manageability than many of the products available on the market. They are also the inventors of the world-renowned Hairmax Laser Comb; the only at-home device cleared by the FDA to regrow hair for male pattern baldness. One need not be a follicularly challenged male to benefit from the true science, research and development behind these products. Our sulfate free hair care products gently cleanse and condition the hair without stripping essential oils. Natural botanicals add shine and manageability to make your hair look fuller, thicker and healthier. Hairmax utilizes phytic acid, a natural anti-oxidant to lower the pH and dissolve the build-up of oxidative stress layers on the scalp.

HAIRMAX ENHANCING SHAMPOO
Retail Price: $12.00
Using their vast experience of over 20 years of research and clinical investigation, HairMax has developed a new approach to hair care. The process starts with a sulfate free base to gently cleanse the hair without stripping essential oils. Other shampoos contain sodium laurel sulfate (SLS), a harsh detergent that strips the natural oils from the hair follicle, SLS causes the oil glands to over-react creating too much oil. This excess oil converts to a waxy substance that builds up on the hair shaft and may restrict proper hair growth. Hairmax Enhancing Shampoo is sulfate free and does not contain harsh chemicals like SLS. It gently cleanses the hair while combining with the hair’s own natural oils to lubricate and moisturize the hair shaft.

Hairmax uses Phytic acid in its shampoo system to lower the pH and promote a regenerative action on the base of the scalp, reducing oxidative stress layers. The shampoo system can be used by itself or in conjunction with the HairMax LaserComb. The HairMax shampoo system has a lower pH than most shampoo systems on the market. The company’s research indicates that the oils (sebum) produced in the hair follicle can turn into a waxy substance in higher alkaline environments. This lower pH, phytic acid based shampoo system helps to prevent the sebum build up and promotes the lubrication of the hair follicle to encourage healthier looking hair.

REVITALIZING CONDITIONER
Retail Price: $12.00
Most conditioners are thick and heavy, weighing down the hair making it look flat and difficult to style. HairMax conditioner utilizes innovative botanicals that deeply moisturize the hair shaft then rinse free, leaving the hair soft and manageable.

The HairMax Conditioner restores and protects the hair shaft while a combination of botanicals and vitamins rejuvenate your hair's look and feel. With the added benefit of sunscreen protection, the HairMax Conditioner will encourage a healthy scalp; giving your hair a healthy look and feel, leaving your hair smooth and shiny.

INVIGORATING SCALP TREATMENT
Retail Price: $7.50

Healthy hair comes from a healthy scalp. Perspiration, sebum, environmental pollution and styling products can build up on the scalp clogging the hair follicle, leaving particle deposits that can clog hair follicles and leave hair looking flat and greasy. Invigorating Scalp Treatment is designed to dissolve these particles, washing them away, making your hair look full, clean and full of body. The Invigorating Scalp Treatment contains phytic acid to help reduce the pH of the scalp. When used in conjunction with The Hairmax Laser Comb, this facilitates laser absorption from the Hairmax into the scalp.

HAIR FORTIFIER
Retail Price: $7.50

Many of us take vitamins to maintain the health of our body. Well our scalp isn’t any different. HairMax Hair and Scalp Fortifier are vitamins for your hair. This product is infused with a special combination of botanical nutrients, DHT blockers and innovative ingredients, like caffeine, oleanolic acid and biotinoyl tripeptide, that are believed to have positive results for healthier looking hair. HairMax Hair and Scalp Fortifying mist is delivered directly to the root of the hair, maximizing the benefits these innovative ingredients may provide.

One lucky reader will win products from three fabulous companies starting with Soulgasm fragrance by Sasha Varon, www.ohmywordonline.com which presents cheeky stationary for kids, and finally unisex haircare products (4 of them) from Hairmax. The total value of this prize is $112.00!

Lexli Skincare starter kit *Giveaway*

Tweet

Beautiful Skin, As Nature Intended! Introducing Lexli International, Pure Aloe Vera-Based Skincare to Heal & Rejuvenate Skin. Often I use an air purifier in my home to help keep my skin moisturized, and looking great.

www.lexli.com

The Lexli 30-Day Starter Kit

Lexli's 30-Day Starter Kit is an easy, inexpensive way to try our skincare line and make sure it's right for you. Each kit provides a month’s supply of products featured as a part of Lexli’s Simple 4-Step System. Included in the travel-friendly kit is: Aloe-Based Cleansing Lotion (2 oz.), Aloe-Based AloeGlyC® Renewing Exfoliant (0.50 oz.), Aloe-Based Day Moisturizer with SPF 15 for Normal to Dry Skin (0.50 oz.), Aloe-Based Tone and Balance (2 oz), Aloe-Based Night Moisturizer (0.5 oz).Starter Kit Price: $84

Lexli skincare products are available at select spas, physician offices and salons. To purchase products or to find a listing of participating retailers, visit www.lexli.com. Because Lexli is unlike any other over-the-counter skincare brand, it is advised that consumers use the product line under the guidance of a licensed skincare expert.

About Lexli International, Inc.

Lexli International, Inc. skincare company provides pharmaceutical-grade, potent Aloe-based skincare products to international skincare professionals and consumers. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, a board-certified plastic surgeon and nationally recognized aloe researcher, Lexli® offers a line of professional skin care products created to achieve healthier, younger-looking skin. All Lexli product formulations, including AloeGlyC®, the brand’s patented and celebrated daily exfoliant, and the Lexli Acne Kit, the most potent and focused over-the counter acne treatment available, are developed with certified organic, pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera as their principal ingredient. Formulations incorporate additional natural ingredients, including pH-balanced humectants, masking agents, protectants and botanicals. For more information, please visit www.lexli.com.

For several years, the skincare industry has been driven by the latest fads, trends and celebrity endorsements. Popular culture has dictated that several times a year, a new “miracle ingredient” will burst onto the scene, promising unrealistic results. Just as quickly as the miracle ingredient grows in popularity, it is inevitably replaced by the next big thing.

A trendsetter in the beauty market, innovative skincare brand Lexli International is leading the way with a line of skincare products supported by scientific research and formulated with a base of certified organic, pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera, one of the most clinically effective natural ingredients in the world. Through meticulous research and development, scientific advances, professional expertise and the understanding of a customer’s well-being, Lexli is continuing to change the world of beauty.

Skincare cannot be mentioned without the name Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Lexli. Dr. Abdullah is among the pioneers who began the practice of utilizing pharmaceutical-grade aloe in their plastic surgery practice for the treatment of skin damage, including burns, scars and lesions. “When it comes to skin care, ‘less is more’ is a mantra repeated by experts, no matter how often new and improved technologies are introduced,” says Dr. Abdullah. “Long known for its healing properties, aloe vera has been proven to produce restorative and medicinal effects. Lexli offers results-driven products with high technology formula and a cocktail of essential ingredients to ensure optimal skin health post-treatment and beyond.”
Why Aloe Vera?

Aloe Vera is a nutritional powerhouse, it contains over 75 nutrients such as minerals, amino acids, and a number of vitamins including B12, enzymes and more. Aloe Vera is currently the only known natural source of vitamin B12. Key health benefits and uses of aloe vera:

• The common advantages of aloe vera include moisturizing dry skin and maintaining the healthy skin
• A natural anti-inflammatory, aloe cleanses gently and penetrates deep into the tissue to heal damaged skin
• Products that contain aloe vera contain high concentration of a curative agent which is useful for the skin
• It is the best moisturizer that keeps the skin flexible by providing oxygen to the skin cells improving the synthesis and strength of skin’s tissue
• Lexli product formulations also utilize vitamins and other proven effective ingredients to achieve healthier, younger-looking skin regardless of skin type, tone or age

All skincare products start with a base. Most over-the-counter and physician dispensed moisturizers and exfoliants are water-based. In fact, 99% of the skincare products on the market today start with water as the base then add other ingredients to make the product. There’s just one problem – not only does water dilute the active ingredients, your skin cannot absorb water.

The Lexli System

The Lexli Skincare Collection is based on a simple four-step system designed to rejuvenate and restore the skin back to health. Lexli’s unique formulation uses 100% pure pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera as the base of each product. According to Dr. Abdullah, “skin care doesn’t need to be a complex ritual. There are many companies who claim different methods to solve common skin challenges like acne or wrinkles. We believe good skin care is more about frequent, preventative care. The key is basic cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing and protecting.”

Step One: Cleanse

The first step of any skincare regimen is cleansing, which can be done with any mild cleanser. In order to keep the skin healthy and looking good, use enough product to eliminate any grime, sebum, dead cells, make-up and other particulate matter that may build up on your skin after a day’s exposure to the environment, thereby encouraging bacterial growth and skin cell decay.

· Aloe-Based Cleansing Lotion

o Lexli’s Aloe-Based Cleansing Lotion is designed to unclog pores and remove impurities. The special ingredients work to cleanse the skin and leave it feeling soft, silky and refreshed. A noticeable improvement in the suppleness of the skin can be achieved soon after the very first use. Lexli’s Aloe Based Cleansing Lotion is pH-balanced, non-greasy, and soothing for sensitive and traumatized skin.

Step Two: Exfoliate

The second and most important step in the skincare process is exfoliation. Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells and debris (keratin) from the skins surface that otherwise covers up the new, living, vibrant skin cells underneath. When keratin builds up, it can clog your pores. Removing the keratin promotes new collagen production, resulting in healthier-looking skin.

According to Dr. Abdullah, “a popular skincare myth is that exfoliation should occur with products that contain ‘gentle exfoliants’ such as microbeads or microspheres. The truth is that there is no gentle way of removing the thickened layers of keratin.” For effective exfoliation, Dr. Abdullah recommends skin stimulation by either a chemical reaction or by vigorous mechanical dermabrasion.

· Aloe-Based AloeGlyC® Renewing Exfoliant

o Lexli’s Aloe-Based AloeGlyC Renewing Exfoliant combines Aloe Vera, Glycolic Acid and L-Ascorbic Acid beads (Vitamin C) to help remove dead skin cells while activating collagen production – the skin’s natural rejuvenation process. The process is virtually as effective as a doctor’s office peel and results in fewer fine lines and wrinkles and enhanced skin texture and clarity. AloeGlyC’s tiny Vitamin C beads also function as biological cofactors and antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental damage. AloeGlyC is gentle to the skin, yet extremely effective. With consistent use, AloeGlyC can minimize pore size, diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other signs ofpremature aging; diminishes blemishes and reduces the potential for future breakouts; evens the overall skin tone and skin clarity; and helps fight dryness.

Step Three: Moisturize

Lexli’s skincare products help the skin keep its water content at optimal levels through the use of humectants: molecules that hold more than their own weight of water within their molecular and chemical structure. When applied to the skin, humectants concentrate water, minimizing evaporation. The presence of water on the skin surface plasticizes and smoothes the uppermost layers of the skin and temporarily soothes the discomfort associated with dry, tight skin. Lexli's moisturizers can increase water retention in both the upper and lower layers of the skin, not only by preventing evaporation, but also by stimulating the synthesis of essential skin proteins and oils.
· Aloe-Based Tone and Balance

o This gentle skin toner contains natural, moisturizing humectants that restores the skin’s natural pH, removes any traces of cleanser or skin cell build-up, and adds moisture without causing surface dryness. Lexli’s Aloe-Based Tone and Balance leaves the skin feeling refreshed, hydrated and ready for the application of moisturizer. It is alcohol-free and can be used to also calm the irritation caused by shaving or waxing, as well as irritation caused by sun exposure.
· Aloe-Based Night Moisturizer

o Lexli’s Aloe-Based Night Moisturizer is a nourishing, humectant-enriched cream designed to replenish the loss of moisture within the skin’s tissues. The strong humectants and masking agents, such as collagen, work overnight to preserve and restore the skin’s natural moisture level and revive the skin’s tension and firmness..
Step Four: Protect

The final step in any proper skincare regimen is protection against environmental factors. Exposed skin can be damaged by ultraviolet light, which can contribute to premature aging of the skin.
· Aloe-Based Day Moisturizer with SPF 15 for Normal to Dry Skin

o Lexli’s Aloe-Based Day Moisturizer with SPF 15 is a light, non-greasy formula that moisturizes and conditions to leave the skin feeling extraordinarily soft and comfortable throughout the day. It protects your skin from the environmental factors that cause premature aging with an added SPF 15 which helps to shield the skin from harmful UVB and UVA rays.

Beautiful Skin Revealed: The Ultimate Guide to Better Skin *Giveaway*

Tweet

The marketing and sale of cleansers, moisturizers, cosmeceuticals, and cosmetics is a multibillion-dollar industry. How do you navigate through the maze of products and promises? Which combination of treatment options, potions and lotions is the real deal?

In an effort to separate fact from fiction, Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Paul Friedman, has co-authored the book “Beautiful Skin Revealed: The Ultimate Guide to Better Skin.” This comprehensive book offers an expert’s insider view on common skin conditions and treatments that really work, in addition to offering tips on how to maximize the time with your dermatologist. According to Dr. Friedman, “The book is grounded in science and explains why conditions occur. Using before and after photos and real patient testimonials, “Beautiful Skin Revealed” shows readers the incredible results made possible through the latest treatment options.” Below, Dr. Friedman offers a sneak-peek from his book, available for purchase at Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com. This book would make a great addition as reading material on your coffee table and look like it fits right in with your modern furniture decor.

The book contains 12 chapters including sections on: Complexion, Acne, Wrinkles, Flusing, Birthmarks, Eyes, Leg Veins, Skin Cancer, Scars and Stretch Marks, General Dermatology, Products, and finally Choosing a doctor.

Acne – Not Just an Issue for Teens

Blame it on stress, the environment, or hormones - the truth is that acne is not limited to teenagers. “It may surprise you to learn that one in five adults between the ages of 25 and 44 experiences acne. In fact, some find their acne is worse in adulthood than it was during puberty,” says Dr. Friedman. In his book, Dr. Friedman offers solutions for current acne breakouts as well as for scars caused by past acne blemishes.

* Lasers. “In the past five years lasers have been found in multiple studies to reduce not only acne lesions but also improve acne scars.” When considering laser treatment, Dr. Friedman suggests reviewing all of the options available to become an informed participant in the initial consultation with your dermatologist. “A great option for patients experiencing both acne lesions and acne scarring is the 1450-nm diode laser by Candela®.”

Rosacea: Red All Over

“Notable flushing, diffuse redness, and visible facial blood vessels may point to one of the most under diagnosed, yet prevalent and frustrating skin conditions affecting adults. It is called rosacea,” Dr. Friedman explains. He notes that although the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, there are several treatment options available.

* “Pulsed-Dye Laser Treatments target broken blood vessels and background redness. Redness caused by rosacea responds very well to a series of laser treatments. Since rosacea is a chronic condition, periodic maintenance treatments are required after the initial series.”

Leg Veins: Reveal Simply Beautiful Legs

Summertime clothing can draw attention to the legs. Visible veins on the legs are a common concern affecting 80% of women in the United States. Spider veins can become more prominent as we age and with jobs requiring prolonged standing.

* “Sclerotherapy, which is best for the treatment of spider veins and reticular veins, can be combined with the long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser. Patients who want to improve the appearance of their legs need to have the treatment about three to six months ahead of shorts and swimsuit season,” according to Dr. Friedman.

Injections for Wrinkles without the Pain

“Today’s experienced physicians can help patients achieve varying degrees of improvement,” Dr. Friedman notes. “The best doctors will insist on creating a natural look.”

* Hyaluronic acid fillers mixed w/lidocaine are one of the most exciting new developments Dr. Friedman offers his patients. “Now, injections for fine lines and deeper wrinkles are given in combination with lidocaine, a numbing agent typically used at the dentist’s office. The result is less discomfort from the injection process.”

Notable Breakthroughs: Fraxel re:store DUAL Laser for Actinic Keratosis

Actinic Keratosis, or AKs, are common precancerous lesions caused by sun exposure, affecting between 11% and 26% of people in the U.S. over the age of 40. According to Dr. Friedman, “The Fraxel re:store DUAL Laser is a potential option to replace traditional treatments for AKs such as freezing through liquid nitrogen. This high tech laser allows for a larger area of the skin to be treated at each visit. Patients have also been pleased with the added benefits they notice, such as improvement of their skin texture and pigmentation.”

Dr. Friedman notes, “Good skin requires maintenance. With the help of a daily sunblock, a good moisturizer, and a topical retinoid, healthy skin has an even surface that glows. Cosmeceuticals and cosmetics can enhance the foundation achieved with a solid skincare regimen and dermatologic procedures.”

Envyderm eyelash growth serum *Giveaway*

Tweet

Step aside, full lips and tan skin. These days, it's not about adult acne treatments but all about drama in the eyes. A few years ago, we might have wanted plump, bee-stung lips like Angelina Jolie, suffering through stinging lip glosses and collagen injections for it. But these days the focus has shifted to another “It” facial feature – eyelashes. Stars like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Penelope Cruz are batting their way down the red carpet with these feathery eye fringes.

The trend of cosmetic products with long-term benefits has grown over the years, as consumers continue to seek products that work together to enhance their appearance long after being applied. From acne fighting makeup to moisturizing lipsticks, consumers want continuous benefits that have quick results and longevity. We all know the wonders of mascara well; in fact, most of us feel naked without it. But breakage, thinning and damaging of the lashes are mascara's little known drawbacks. Fortunately, EnvyDerm, a groundbreaking new nonprescription formula eyelash growth serum is here for our eyebatting rescue.

How to Use EnvyDerm?

The EnvyDerm applicator is very similar to a liquid eyeliner applicator. One should apply the stimulating serum once a day before bedtime along the upper and lower lash lines. EnvyDerm does not disrupt the daily application of make-up or other skincare routines. Can be used on brows as well.

What is in EnvyDerm?

EnvyDerm is formulated with active natural ingredients such as bioavailable lipo-oligopeptides that stimulate keratin genes. Powerful SymPeptide technology lengthens and strengthens natural lashes. EnvyDerm uses vitamins, minerals and amino ccids to moisturize and nourish lashes and brows.

When Can I Expect to See Results?

One should begin to see the lash line becoming thicker, fuller and healthier looking in as little as 2 weeks! In a clinical study, users saw a 25 percent increase in eyelash length during this period. EnvyDerm will continue to prove results over time if used on a consistent basis.

Shop for yourself, enhace your time in the bedroom with Eden Fantasys....

I'm a freak! Yup, I'm proud to admit it too.... Not a freak of nature, not one of those freaky looking kids you see walking around the streets, or even one of those freaks who get excited about finding a colon cleanse that really works, but I am a proud freak in the bedroom!!

I'm not ashamed of it, I love it! My hubby loves it too! I'm way open to experimenting with different things such as positions, toys, movies etc, and although we don't do it as much as we'd like to, we do enjoy it immensely when we do. Damn those kids for getting in the way of my fun! Lol.

I have a slew of 'adult' toys all locked up in some cases and boxes in my closet, but I never seem to have enough, I love finding new ones! I don't get to venture into the 'adult' stores much myself, once in a while we'll go (like a couple of times a year) but truthfully, as open and confident as I am in there, I still get creeped out and weirded out when there's other men in the store with us. So shopping online for my adult toys and lingerie is the way to go!

I can shop discreetly, I can shop with my hubby by my side, or I can shop for a nice surprise for him and have it delivered fast, discreet and without creepy weirdos checking me and what I'm buying out.

I've gotten many toys from Eden Fantasys in the past and am always pleased not only with their service, but their reviews on the toys, and their selection. They also have books, lingerie, couples kits, oils, lubes etc. Anything you could think of they probably carry, and it's quality items, affordable prices and fast discreet shipping as well.

I know a lot of women out there are often swayed away from toys for the bedroom, or think there's something wrong with it, or maybe they're just too scared or shy to venture into a store themselves. Shopping at a place like Eden Fantasys will take the scare out of it, you're able to shop from the comfort of your own home, in privacy and no one (unless you tell them) will have any idea of what you're purchasing and having shipped.

If you're looking to spice things up for a night, or maybe you're taking a weekend away, or trying to think of a great Valentine's day gift check out Eden Fantasys and browse and shop to your hearts content! I'm sure you can find something that will get your significant others heart racing!

Let my girls bounce off the walls!!!

Tweet

Can you help a mama out? Don't worry it's easy, I'm not going to ask you which diet pills work best or anything like that, just a simple 'like' will do....

My girls have begged and pleaded for a bounce house for a few years now, but honestly, there’s no way I’m buying one, they’re just too expensive!

We have a nice big yard for it, I’m sure it would get a ton of use, but with our finances it’s just not feasible right now…
So how can you help? No I don’t want you to donate money to me, I’m not going to start a fundraiser to get the girls a bounce house, but I did enter a contest!

Bounce Houses Now is having a 2010 Holiday Photo Contest. You simply upload your holiday photo to their facebook page and then you’re entered. The photo with the most “Likes” on 12/15/2010 will win a Magic Castle Residential Bounce House.

So I’m asking, and you can pass this along to your family and friends, post it on your facebook and twitter, PLEASE like my girls photo, which can be found HERE. You will have to "Like" the Bounce Houses Now fan page before you can "like' the photo...

I’ll be forever grateful, and I’m sure they would be too!

Glencara $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway (11/23)

Tweet

Based in Ireland, Glencara specialises in Claddagh & Celtic Rings and Jewelry since 1978. Glencara is a family business, passionate about Irish & Celtic culture and the jewelry created is based on celtic design and symbolism, centuries old.

Claddagh Rings & Jewelry
The Claddagh Ring is one of Ireland’s most popular rings and carries great symbolism - "Let love and friendship reign forever".

The beautifully designed Claddagh Ring is quite distinctive with its two hands clasping a heart and surmounted by a crown. It is a monument to love and friendship with the two hands said to signify friendship, the heart representin

g love with the crown symbolising loyalty.

How you wear a claddagh ring is of great importance; if worn on the right hand with the heart facing out, your heart has not yet been won. If worn on the right hand with the heart facing in, you are in love. And finally the claddagh ring can be worn as a wedding ring if worn on the left hand with the heart facing in; two hearts forever joined.
Ladies White Gold Silver Claddagh Ring Pictured: $39.95

Celtic Rings & Jewelry
Celtic Jewelry dates back to 2000 B.C., evolving throughout the centuries and spre

ading across the world. Unique celtic designs are still used today as an expression of one’s individuality.

The Celtic Knot is the most well known celtic design, the beautiful simplicity of the triple knot symbolises eternity and continuity. The

interlace pattern never ends and is the key to Celtic knot work. Many Celtic Rings incorporate the Celtic Knot along with other Celtic symbols.

The Celtic Cross pre-dates Christianity and were first used by pagans to worship the sun. In pagan times the circle of the celtic cross

represented the

sun, being the center of their lives.

During the great conversion of many pagans to Christianity, Christian Philosophers adapted the Celtic Cross and thought the meaning of the circle to represent Christ, the center of Christianity.

Other Symbols such as the Celtic Spiral along with elements of the Ardagh Chalice and Book of Kells are at the heart of our Celtic Jewelry designs, as can be seen in the Celtic Warrior Ring.
Ladies 14K Gold Silver Celtic Knot Ring: $29.99

Silver Celtic Knot Earrings: $19.99

Mens 14K Gold Silver Celtic Warrior Ring: $44.99

14K White gold Silver Claddagh Celtic Cross Pendant Necklace: $44.99

Moore Unique Skin Care Ultimate Beauty Giveaway (9/14)

Tweet

Moore Unique Skincare was created and patented by Houston-based dermatologist Dr. Milton Moore after feeling a void in the market for shaving products. He set out to create a product that delivered the smoothest, longest lasting results on any area of the body for use by men and women alike. Dr. Moore began inventing and patenting a line of skincare products made to treat PFB (Pseudofolliculitis Barbae), more commonly known as ingrown hairs.


Products Include:

Shaving Solutions

· Silky Hydroglide: The first product by Moore Unique made specifically for women, Silky Hydroglide lubricates, moisturizes, and treats dry and irritated skin, for the closest nick-free shave possible. It is great for use on the legs, underarms and bikini line and prevents razor burn, rash and bumps making it ideal for sensitive skin. Silky Hydroglide can be used both as a shave gel and an after shaving lotion to regenerate healthy, smooth skin. Price: $6.99

· Razor Rash Relief: The revolutionary, patented cream treatment soothes skin after shaving and, with proper and consistent use, prevents future razor burn, rash, and PFB (shaving bumps caused by ingrown hairs). Formulated with anti-bacterial salicylic acid and micro-molecular technology, this emollient smoothes the skin surface, softens the hair to be shaved, and prevents new growth hair from turning back into the skin. Treats razor burn, sensitive skin, and ingrown hairs. Price: $12.99

Multitasking Products for the Face & Body

* Clear Skin Acne Wash: Potent yet gentle formula containing emulsifying, deep cleansing colloidal sulphur and anti-bacterial salicylic acid to effectively exfoliate dead skin cells, clean pores, reduce oil, and clear acne on face and body. Treats acne, whiteheads and blackheads, oily skin, clogged pores. Price: $7.99

· Body Scrub Lotion: This cool and refreshing emollient Body Scrub Lotion has natural grains that clear away dry skin cells for smoother feeling skin. Includes invigorating ingredients that exfoliate rough, dry skin and help regenerate new cell growth. Price: $12.99

· Hydrate Facial & Body Wash: Formulated especially for sensitive skin. Mildly exfoliates while gently cleansing, moisturizing, and reducing the signs of aging. Excellent for relieving eczema, rashes, and mild to moderate acne. Price: $8.99

· Bath, Body and Hair Oil: Lock in moisture! A mineral rich moisturizer for dry skin and hair. Targeted to men and women with severe dry skin and dry scalp as well as dry, brittle, chemically treated hair conditions. This all-in-one moisture treatment can be used daily during the bath to replenish moisture to the skin. The bath oil has a dual purpose since it can be applied to hair to prevent it from being dry and brittle. It adds lustrous shine to hair. For those with more severe dry skin conditions, prepare skin with Hydroglide™, and then apply Bath-body and Hair Oil. 8.0 oz. Price: $7.99
