Shave Less Often

Filed Under Bath & Body | Leave a Comment

While trying all the wonderful goodies at the Lather store grand opening I was given a jar of the fresh and wonderful bamboo lemongrass body scrub. In addition to the product I was also given a tip, use this scrub before you shave and it will be two days before you have to shave again!

Sounds fabulous, but does it actually work? The theory is that this particular scrub is a bit rougher than your typical scrub, thus it sloughs off all the dead skin cells, bumps, etc. and allows your razor to concentrate only on the actual hair without all the other debris getting in the way.

I personally have to shave in the morning and at night if I want my legs to remain smooth at all times. Needless to say, I was excited to try out this product and see if I could reduce my shaving times.

Much to my surprise, I used this scrub in the morning on my legs before I shaved and did not need to shave again until the morning after next! Definitely something I will be incorporating into my shaving routine and it smells fabulous!

Suds In A Bucket

Have you ever smelled a flower and wished you could take the scent with you everywhere? With Suds In A Bucket you can. This wonderful, all natural company makes the most incredible smelling products and their products smell exactly like the flower they are named after.

Take a bath in the intoxicating Jasmine Nights Milk Bath. This Milk Bath smells exactly like when you walk by a section of Jasmine, no additives here! Milk also “contains Lactic Acid which is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid. AHA’s are a natural substance which dissolve the glue that holds dead skin cells together.” So your skin is left new and glowing.

Drench you skin in the amazing smelling Exotic Orchid Body Nectar. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the orchid scent, what I wasn’t expecting is to smell something so gorgeous, so exotic and unusual that I want to smell like that everyday. This Body Nectar is like a lip balm for your body, amazing for dry skin and quenches every need your skin could have.

The best thing about Suds In A Bucket is their all natural approach to bath products. Each product is hand crafted in small batches and best used within five months of your receiving it. They even use fresh blueberries to color their Lavender Fields Bubble Bath!

Fresh, Fresh, Fresh and smelling like a just cut flower! These products are a dream.
