More opinions from me (lucky you). This time it’s product reviews of everything from wax strips (ouch) to software.

Sebamed Anti Dry Derma-soft Wash Emulsion

This creamy emulsion is pH balanced, making it great for sensitive skin. It isn’t strongly perfumed like some cleansers, and is really quite gentle: no stinging or redness after use with this one. It does a good job of cleansing…

Manicare Invigorating Sponge

A basic sponge with a textured fabric cover, thisĀ  “Invigorating Sponge” is supposed to be good for regular shower or bath use to exfoliate all over. I know the experts say exfoliation is a good thing but I’m afraid I…
