Soft Like a Baby's Bum

You know how products say what they are MEANT to do and that's about what they are only good for? What if I told you that lemon isn't just used in the kitchen, but acts as a great exfoliant for elbows and knees, baby powder can add volume to your do or that shampoo isn't just for your hair, but can be used to clean eye lashes to prevent stys?! I've come upon some really great products that are like "2fers"!

The Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads is not only a cleanser, but acts almost like a "scrub" because the pads are textured. For those who are more prone to breakouts or any kind of sensitivity, this is a perfect alternative since it's not as harsh as salt scrubs that can sometimes cause redness and irritation. I was first hesitant in using cleansing pads at first because of those exact fears, but I was pleasantly wrong. Since soy is an ingredient in the product, it has calmed my redness around the T-Zone area. Also, a huge plus is that the pads remove All of your makeup that a liquid cleanser may leave behind.



However, if you want something with a little bit more UMPF in cleansing, I'm a big fan of Cosmedicine's scrub. The beads are grinned so fine that when you rubbed it against your skin, it doesn't feel like painful little pebbles. It can also be used for your lips! When that Chapstick or Burts Bees aren't enough to heal the flaking or winter burn, spending 5 minutes exfoliating can definitely restore the smoothness and moisture.

(Home Made Remedy for a Lip Exfoliant: Mix Vaseline or any plain lip gloss with some sugar with a q-tip (equal parts, enough to cover your lips). Then gently rub the mixture on your lips for about 1 minute depending on your condition. Rinse thoroughly with water. Finally, apply Vaseline or a medicated lip treatment to soothe lips.)


Did you ever think you can find a product that is a face toner and can prevent ingrown hair? I know...try to process what that product would even be. Somme Institute's Transport Pads do exactly both. You can use the pads after shaving the bikini area to prevent irritation as well as ingrown hair.
