Is Your Skin Showing the Wear and Tear of Summer?

About this time of year, I have shaved, waxed and plucked hair from just about everywhere. I swear that summer is my favorite season, but it is torture on my skin.

I recently discovered this great product that is helping my skin recover. You know those pesky ingrown hairs, the razor burn, bumps - you name it. PFB Vanish is helping, in a simple and quick way.

This is a gentle, roll-on gel that contains three key exfoliating ingredients: salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids, along with moisturizing and soothing ingredients like camphor oil.  PBF Vanish exfoliates the skin cells above the skin surface while softening the hair follicle to minimize the recurrence of ingrown hair in the future.

I roll on this cooling gel right after shaving and continue to roll it on those areas (hello - bikin line!) that tend to irritate the most. It is advised to start using it two days before hair removal by waxing to prep the skin and help it ward off those pesky ingrowns.

PBF Vanish is available in two sizes: 2 oz. for $13.95 and 4 oz. for $19.95. Check it out with a complete list of uses and directions on pfbvanish.com. Your skin will thank you.

Pick of the Day - Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream.

Your shaving routine will never be the same after trying one of the Shave Crave Shaving Creams from Whish.

This wonderfully rich whipped cream, that comes out of a pump, is almost like a light conditioner for the skin. This cream nourishes as it let's you get a really close shave. I am addicted to Whish Shave Crave in Almond. The scent is divine. Whish Shave Cream also comes in Pomegranate and Lemongrass scents as well.

All of the shave creams are made in the USA, with Earth friendly packaging and ingredients. Take a look at what it inside the cream and why it works: Natural squalene and organic shea butter for moisturization; organic green tea and organic shea butter to soothe; and organic jojoba seed oil to nourish the skin.

Pick of the Day - Lab Series for Men Maximum Comfort Shave Cream.

My Father will be 70 years old this year, and I cannot count the stories he has told me about his shaving woes. He has very sensitive and dry, aging skin, so finding the perfect fit for his daily shaving ritual has been far from easy. Whenever presented with an opportunity to try shave gels, creams and lotions, I always give them to Dad for testing. He said he will no longer need to test any other type of shave product anymore as he claims that Lab Series Maximum Comfort Shave Cream is the best there is - and ever will be.

"This pain-saving shave formula for sensitive skin and frequent shavers softens and preps the beard to prevent irritation and redness. It softens even the toughest beards and contains benzocaine to condition and comfort and aloe and caffeine to reduce irritation and promote renewal. Fragrance-free. Oil-free. Great for sensitive skin."

He applies the thick cream from the jar with a shave brush I bough him from Art of Shaving, because I have not found one available from Lab Series, which is sort of really odd. With all of their phenomenal shaving products, you would think a shaving brush would go hand in hand. Anyway, my Father cannot tell me enough how much he loves this cream and he urged me to give it the honor of Pick of the Day.

In his words, "It is the best shave I have ever had.".
