Sweat-Free AND Hair-Free Underarms? Nice.


I just received a sample today of DOVE Ultimate Visibly Smooth Wild Rose Anti-Perspiring/Deodorant that will be appearing on store shelves this month. DOVE claims that this new product will help women feel stubble free for longer, and with regular use, it will minimize the visual appearance of hair over time. Uh, to me that's a lot of jibber-jabber meaning that Dove is not going to claim this new deodorant actually STOPS hair from growing, but only makes it look like it's not growing. But that's cool, I suppose, because I do want to to look like I don't have hairy underarms. Anyway, DOVE says it works by using a unique, new formula called Pro Epil Complex. Within weeks, you’ll start to notice that your underarm hair feels, soft, fine and is easier to remove. Now, since I've only just received it, I can't possibly review it for at least a week, probably more in order to see if it really lives up to its promise, but since we're coming into warmer weather, which means, more skin showing, I though you might want to at least know about it. DOVE also sent me a some $2 coupons for this new and, hopefully!!!, fantastic new deodorant, so if you would like a coupon (or two, maybe even three? I'm feeling generous), let me know, and I'll send 'em your way. Leave a comment with your e-mail and I'll contact you to get your address, unless you don't mind leaving it in the comments section. Or, even better and will save me $ on postage, head over to Dove to print out a coupon!

Get Yourself Screened!!

Yeah, I don't have skin cancer! I had my annual full-body check today with the dermatologist, and I had a few spots I was concerned with, but the dr. gave me a clean bill of health. Whew. But I am one of the lucky ones. I read so many articles these days about skin cancer, and since I had so many sunburns as a young girl, I'm nervous about something developing. Read these facts from Olay , who has teamed up with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery to sponsor free screenings across the country: Did you know... One person dies every hour from skin cancer. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer. Skin cancer in women under 40 has tripled in the past 30 years. Five sunburns double a woman's chance of getting skin cancer. UV exposure at tanning salons is just as risky as sunbathing outside. People with fair skin that burns rather than tans, people with red hair and people with blue eyes are at greater risk of developing skin cancer. People who have many (extens...

A Little Extra Protection is A Good Thing

For my recent shore vacation (the "shore" is what we southeast Pennsylvanians and southern New Jerseyans call the "beach") I purchased St. Ives Elements Protective Cleanser with SPF 10. This is a facial cleanser that, when you wash the cleanser off your face, is supposed to leave behind a layer of SPF 10 protection. Pretty cool, huh? Now, some people say this will help them skip a pesky extra step in their morning skincare routine by eliminating the application of SPF. I understand how one could feel this way, but c'mon ladies. SPF 10? From a cleanser you just washed off your face? I mean, really, how much protection can that really give you? Now, I'm not denying that the product does what it says, but we should all know by now that you need a lot higher SPF protection on your delicate face than a 10.My dermatologist said nothing less than 30 would do, and she herself wore, like, 75 (and she was probably late 40's/early 50's and her skin was porcelai...

Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil

So which is it - a gel or body oil? Well, it is both, and I like it! I found this today when I stopped at Wal-Mart to find some replacement cushions for my patio furniture, and immediately had to have it (sadly, I did not get any cushions). It says "new" on the bottle, but looks like maybe it came out some time last year, based on customer reviews at Amazon, however, it's new to me! I thought it had to be brand new because it just seems like summer-in-a-bottle. It has that rich, earthy smell of cocoa butter products, but I also think I caught a very slight whiff of a pretty floral note, like lilacs, which I love, and at the same time, it smells like yummy buttercream frosting! The key ingredients include Brazilian Nut Oil (supposed to be a great moisture barrier, keeping your skin hydrated, and possesses antioxidant properties) and Sweet Almond Oil (gives your skin a pretty glow and restores moisture). To be honest, I don't see cocoa butter listed in the ingredients ...
