Relax & Wax!

I had to share... I just used one of the most fabulous products ever. No-Scream Cream, is just that.  A cream you apply before waxing to numb your delicate areas that need the full wax treatment.

I applied this cream before I left for my appointment this morning, and by the time I arrived, I barely felt anything. I applied a bit more as I undressed, and this numbed the bit that I could feel.

I was totally relaxed and not worried when my esthetician came close with the wax. And you know what? It really worked, as I barely felt anything. And I swear that the redness I usually see afterward was greatly minimized.

You have to try this, ladies! It retails for $15.95 per 1 oz. tube at DermStore.com.

Whoops - I almost forgot to add that Sephora.com is offering FREE shipping on any order over $50 for a limited time - so act quick!

 

Bronzing with Benefits.

If you are a self-tanning worshiper such as myself, you may look for a self-tanner that had benefits beyond the beautiful bronzing.

One brand that I recently found that has a few different types of beneficial products in their self-tanning line up is St. Ives.  The line is called Healthy Brilliance. In the line are four products.

Brighten & Glow
This should be use prior to the actual bronzing products. This is made with natural sugar crystals to exfoliate while the added natural ingredients, including olive oil ester, leave your skin smooth, bright and glowing readying for your self-tanning product.

Firm & Glow
Using caffeine and ginseng, this moisturizer goes beyond a sun-touched glow to help naturally tighten and tone your skin.

Renew & Glow
With age-defying green tea and anti-oxidants, this body moisturizer helps you achieve a sun-touched glow and helps to reveal younger, healthier looking skin.

Protect & Glow
This is a body moisturizer with an SPF that helps protect your skin against harmful UV rays while it gently gets your glow on. And with the natural Shea butter, your skin feels softer and smoother as you use it.

I just started to use the Firm & Glow lotion to get my legs beautifully bronzed, and so far so good. The color is nice, and gradual. It has taken just about a week to get my legs where I feel they look nice and golden. Not too tan, but more naturally bronzed for Spring. 

You can buy St. Ives Healthy Brilliance products online at drugstore.com, while it can also be found at mass merchandisers nationwide.
