Shaving Secrets

Not so fast. If you shave first thing in the morning, wait 15 minutes. When you wake up, skin can be sensitive, making shaving uncomfortable.

Soak before you stroke. Even if you use shaving cream, soak your skin a few minutes before shaving for a smoother shave.

Go for quality. When shopping for a razor, it may be tempting to go for the least expensive option. But cheap razors can make you pay the ultimate price with nicks, irritation and razor burn.

Sooth your skin. Ditch your harsh, drying deodorant. (Underarms contain only 1% sweat glands; the other 99% is skin). Instead, choose a product that moisturizes and replenishes to reduce the potential for irritation while providing all-day perspiration protection. 

6 Tips For An Indulgent Shower

1. Choose a Pretty Shower Curtain It’s an easy and inexpensive way to set the mood—choose earthy, muted tones for a calm and relaxing experience.

2. Play Your Favorite Music Try instrumental tunes or smooth rhythm and blues to wind down.

3. Create a Rejuvenating Aura Reed diffusers give off a subtle aroma that’s also aesthetically pleasing.

4. Get Warmed Up Ease in smoothly by letting your shower run and gather steam to create a warm bathroom atmosphere before stepping inside. 

5. Lather Up with a Luxurious Body Wash 
Pour rich, creamy body wash with a soothing scent onto a fluffy shower pouf or soft body brush, and scrub gently to indulge your skin and senses.

6. Savor Your Moment of “Me Time” Close your eyes and breathe deeply just for a few minutes to keep your relaxation going. You’ll feel beautiful, renewed and refreshed for whatever comes your way this holiday.
