No air conditioning. Crazy humidity. Oily, sticky skin that looks like a hot mess. This is me in my office yesterday. It's 80 degrees outside, we have no air conditioning and I'm trying to cozy up next to our office fan for a few seconds of relief.

Is all this heat good for my already dry and somewhat oily skin? Perhaps I'm sweating out toxins, sweating off the surface pollutants...or perhaps not...

This week I went looking for a multi-tasking cleanser and found a cleanser, exfoliant and five minute mask all in one a.k.a the new Bliss Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk.

 

This super gentle cleanser feels like lotion as I rub it onto my palms and onto my face and neck. It's ideal for dry, irritated or super sensitive skin! LOVE THAT!

 

This creamy cleanser utilizes hydrophilic oils that work to remove makeup, excess sebum, pollutants and dead surface cells.

Wash it off after a minute or two for a quick cleanse or leave this pore cleansing milk on the skin for a deep cleaning five minute mask.

 

Simply apply this milky cleanser to dry skin and massage it onto the skin followed by a thorough rinse.

Must-Try:
Before you hit the beach this weekend, make sure your bikini line is flawless!

No one wants razor burn or red bumps ruining a perfectly sexy bikini moment. If you miss a spot or two, or you're in between shaving or waxing sessions, there's now a solution that won't leave your skin red and irritated.

The latest must-try in at-home hair removal this summer is the Smooth Away Hair Removal Kit. It feels like sandpaper at first touth, but this beauty treatment works to buff away unwanted hair and exfoliate the bikini area. At only $10.00 or less, it's a must-try.

Beauty Buy:
Once the hair is gone and your ready for your bikini close-up, make sure to maintain the area and prevent ingrown hairs from creeping up.

The answer to your bikini prayers are Bliss Ingrown Hair Eliminating Peel Pads.  These single use peel pads utilize alpha and betahydroxy acids to prevent unattractive red bumps and in-growns from appearing, while green tea helps to soothe irritation and oat extract smooths the area. With 50 pads per pack, these bikini-savers are a true beauty buy!

Use these powerful pads directly after stepping out of the shower, while skin is still damp. You'll notice a difference, trust me!

You Decide:
Have you ever tried hair removal at-home? No, I'm not talking about Nair, but the beauty innovation known as the no! no! This handheld device usesThermicon, a thermal technology,  to remove unwanted hair.

According to the dermatologists I've spoken with, there is no pain, you don't have to wait for the hair to be a certain length to remove it and there is minimal chance of redness, in-grown hairs, etc. But, it's your results that may vary. I've heard some girlfriends swear by the no! no!, while others say it just didn't get the job done as well as in-office or in-spa hair removal.

The idea of performing at-home thermal hair removal on my bikini line makes me more than a little bit nervous! For now, I'll keep my spa appointments.

Tried it? Love it? Hate it? Tell me about it!

Must-Try:
I'm a gym junkie and as all ladies who primp in a gym locker room know, showering with the generic "shampoo" and "conditioner" can sour a good shower!
The Bliss Lemon Sage Supershine Shampoo and Conditioner in the Sinkside Six Pack give me the healthy-hair shine I crave and help me start off my beauty routine right.

Beauty Buy:
If you have the pleasure of showering in the comforts of home, the latest beauty buy I can't live without is the new Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Smooth Vitality Fusion and Conditioner.
Both products left my hair silky smooth and feeling weightless on my shoulders, despite my super thick, heavy hair.

You Decide:
For months, my girlfriends have been swearing by Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo.
According to the girls, it absorbs excess oil, build-up and grime, while leaving hair with a fabulously fresh 'just-washed' scent.

You tell me, is this project really a miracle worker that should be mandatory in gym bags across America? Try it out and email me your thoughts at TheGlamtastic@gmail.com
