Tis the Season…Shave With Schick

This holiday season, I am going to try to convince my grown sons to shave off their stubble. I want to see their baby faces again. I plan on doing this with a stocking full of razors from Schick.  They will have several to choose from so they won’t have any excuses not to shave.

I don’t even want to hear any excuses about their skin being too sensitive.  I already picked up Edge Sensitive Skin Shave Gel which contains soothing aloes which will help prevent nicks, cuts and irritation, that’s right, so no excuses.My husband uses Edge Shave Gel which has been his favorite for awhile. Edge Shave Gel is formulated with anti-irritants and soothing conditioners which help protect his skin against  irritations from daily shaving. He mentioned to me that he doesn’t plan on switching brands anytime soon, so it must be doing its job.

As far as razors go, I thought I would try a few different ones. My first pick was  the Schick® Xtreme 3®  FitStyle Refresh. I like this disposable razor because it is the only men’s razor with a fresh scented handle and I thought that was a very unique idea. It has a nice clean scent, nothing feminine about it for sure! These razors are available at food, drug stores nationwide. Visit www.shaving.com for more information.

My second choice was the Schick® Hydro Power Select. New from Schick, this power razor has 3 vibration settings, easy to read indicators and a haptic sensor (sense of touch technology). As stated by Schick, ” The Schick Hydro Power Select allows men to interact with their razor in a new way, while providing the signature Schick hydration and protection that men demand”.  I think my boys will like this one too! These razors are available in food and drug stores nationwide. For more information, visit www.schickhydro.com.

OK, I admit it, I did buy one for myself too! I couldn’t resist owning a razor with a “Hawaiian tropic” scented handle so I picked up an  Xtreme 3 for Women. I am a Schick user myself so I already know this is a good quality, disposable  razor. This razor has 3 blades that flex and pivot and has conditioning strips attached to it. These strips contain Aloe, vitamin E and Jojoba to moisturize as I shave. With Schick, I am guaranteed a close, comfortable shave. Just a note from experience, never leave you razor face down in water as the moisturizer on the strips will dissolve, and you definitely don’t want that to happen. Xtreme 3 for Women is also available at food and drug stores nationwide. For more information visit www.shaving.com .

You can’t beat the quality, you can’t beat the prices, Tis the Season and Shave with Schick, I know my boys will be!

Your Hair Is On Its Way To Wellness With Malibu C

At a recent visit to my hair stylist, she mentioned to me that it is a good idea from time to time to change my shampoo and conditioner, she said it would be good for my scalp and my hair. She told me to be sure I use quality products and with that in mind, I decided to try Malibu C Scalp and Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner. I don’t have a serious scalp problem but it does get dry and a little flaky from time to time so what better time to switch than right now. I actually have the Malibu C Scalp Wellness Kit which contains Malibu C Shampoo, Conditioner and Scalp Therapy Treatments.

Malibu C Scalp and Wellness Kit is 100% vegan, and is free of sulfates, parabens, DEA, gluten and added salts. Malibu C is formulated to help banish symptoms associated with scalp conditions. Malibu C Shampoo and Conditioner contains vitamin E, amino acids, “plant-based” proteins, aloe and lanolin and is gentle enough to use on chemically treated hair, like my own. I love this new shampoo. It has a cool sensation on my scalp and has an invigorating fragrance which is the spearmint and eucalyptus doing its job. The Malibu C Shampoo also doubles as a body wash, which is incredible, and best of all, the entire family can use it, that’s how gentle it is.

Malibu C Shampoo and Conditioner work together to prevent irritation and inflammation on my scalp. This shampoo has made my hair very soft because of its moisture retention properties. Malibu C Shampoo also contains niacin, which is very important to me because niacin increases circulation to the scalp promoting healthy hair growth. That is a huge plus for me. I started using Malibu C Shampoo and Conditioner daily, and now I am using them once a week to maintain a healthy scalp and I can still use other shampoos and conditioners.

Let’s not forget about the Scalp Therapy Treatments. Scalp therapy treatments are essential for your scalp, especially when there is irritation or flakiness involved. Scalp Therapy treatments are so easy to use and your scalp will feel great afterwards. Just dissolve a packet of the treatment powder in the palm of your hands with water and gently message into your scalp. After a few minutes, rinse off and continue with your conditioner. This treatment will definitely help reduces flakes and soothes irritation. The eco-chic sachet packaging and ingredients contain no zinc pyrithione formulated in some dandruff and eczema products.

Malibu C Scalp and Wellness Kit is ideal for people with dandruff, eczema and psoriasis.  At http://malibuc.com you will find various types of hair care products catering to all your hair car needs. You will definitely find one that suit you too!

Seabuck Wonders is Truly a Wonder

Not to long ago, I discovered Sea Buckthorn, a supplement which contains an extremely beneficial oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil. As stated by SeabuckWonders, “SeabuckWonders is the only full line of products made from USDA certified organic sea buckthorn berries.”  After doing some research on Sea Buckthorn, I learned how beneficial this oil actually is. It’s 100% pure, high in Omega-7 and helps promote healthy skin and hair among other things. You can learn  more about Sea Buckthorn at  http://www.seabuckwonders.com/education/, the information is truly fascinating. Sea Buckthorn was also featured on The Dr. Oz  Show. Dr Oz himself deemed Sea Buckthorn the new “miracle berry”, http://www.seabuckwonders.com/dr-oz-sea-buckthorn.

Now that I know about the health benefits of Sea Buckthorn Oil, I was excited to learn that SeabuckWonders recently introduced a new skincare line. The skincare line consists of Sea Buckthorn Facial Cream, Body Lotion, Facial Cleanser and Deep Hydrating Serum. All of the skincare products are ” packed with a high concentration of sea buckthorn oil for maximum results. That means healthier, softer and more beautiful skin for all those who add these products to their daily routine.”

My daughter and I were just discussing the fact that many body lotions on the market today feel heavy and greasy. You won’t find this to be the case with any of Sea Buckthorn’s Skincare Products.  Sea Buckthorn Body lotion not only moisturizes and protects your skin, it supports cell function and protects your skin from UV-induced stress. Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion is a very light lotion which dries quickly leaving your skin pleasantly soft. The lotion has a natural scent of orange oil so I don’t mind using it before bed because it has a nice delicate scent.

I found Sea Buckthorn Exfoliating Facial Cleanser to be a fabulous cleanser. It contains a very light exfoliate which was not scratchy at all and rinses off easily. This facial cleanser has all the great nutritional properties as the lotion, leaving your skin feeling cleansed and refreshed. After cleansing, for a more radiant looking skin, apply Sea Buckthorn Facial Cream.  I use it as I would a moisturizer, it is very light, spreads easily and dries quickly, leaving your face feeling smooth. For added moisture and to help minimize fine lines while retaining a youthful healthy glow, try adding Sea Buckthorn Hydrating Serum to your skincare routine. Your skin will look and feel better with a daily routine of cleansing, moisturizing and hydrating with Sea Buckthorn Skincare.

Sea Buckthorn Skincare  contain a high concentration of Organic Himalayan Sea Buckthorn and are infusd with Omega 3,6,7 & 9.  These skincare products are vegan, GMO, paraben, cruelty and Gluten free. They are also available for all skin types. Add SeabuckWonders to your daily routine for healthier, glowing and more beautiful looking skin.
