Refresh with the Best

Total Refresh

Total Refresh

Ban Total Refresh cooling body cloths are so convenient. I keep these cloths in my backpack and after track practice, I use them on my neck and underarms to help me feel clean and not so sweaty. They have a powdery finish, that cools your body and smells great. It doesn’t leave my neck or underarms feeling sticky either. The cloths are very thick, and they are perforated so you can select-a-size. The package is small enough to keep in your handbag for an on the go refresh. These can be found at almost any drugstore and they are about 3 dollars at Walmart. Bring them to the gym or to work!!

Ban Refresh Cloths can be found in drug stores nationwide and at http://www.feelbanfresh.com/cooling-wipes/restore.aspx

Shaving is a Dream with Somersets

Somersets

Somersets

I was first introduced to Somersets Shave Oil by my husband. The first time he used their shave oils, he was quite impressed. You can imagine how happy I was to find that Somersets carries a women’s line and one of Somersets best selling oil is Somersets Women’s Extra Sensitive Shaving Oil.

Somersets believes that it is very important to prepare your skin before shaving as to avoid razor burn and nicks while shaving. These shaving problems can result in red, rashy, bumpy and uncomfortable skin for quite some time so it only makes sense to avoid these shaving issues at all costs. The reason why Somersets works so well is that they are formulated with 100% natural plant oils like lavender, rosemary and tree tea and the oils smell fabulous.

Somersets Shaving Oil for women is definitely worth trying and once you do, you may never go back to your old shave gels and foams. Just smooth on 4 or 5 drops of the oil on your legs and underarms and the oils soften your skin which makes the shaving process so easy. The oils not only moisturize your skin but  you will feel the silky softness of your skin after you shave, so say good-bye to the rough dry patches. With Somersets, you can shave without water if you have to “shave on the go”. I like the fact that you can see what you are shaving because the oil is clear.

Somersets has also developed an oil for extra delicate skin to apply around the bikini area. Somersets delicate oils lubricate you skin and blade for a closer, smoother shave. Somersets promises “No more painful waxing or bumps after shaving. It’s not about the blade. Somersets 100% Natural Delicate Bikini Shaving Oil prepares the skin for the shave, eliminating ingrown hairs and serving as a soothing shaving bumps treatment. “

Somersets bullet shaped little bottles are tiny which make it convenient for travel. Somersets natural ingredients include: Hybrid vegetable Oil, Menthol , Fragrance, Aloe Vera, French Lavender Oil , Sandalwood Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Safflower Oil, Grapefruit OIl, Tea Tree Oil, Corianda Oil, Palmarosa Oil, Rosemary Oil, Ylang Ylang, Chilean Rosehip Seed Oil.

Shaving is a dream with Somersets. You will find Somersets shave oils, gels, face washes and scrubs at somersets.com
