RazorPit prolongs the life of blades

by

FHM 2011winner_RazorPit

Winner of the FHM Grooming Awards for 2011, this handy gadget is quickly becoming indispensable for men everywhere.

Razorpit with FHM Award

Did you know that more than 600 million men use razor blades? That means that billions are thrown in the bin every year, usually with the man moaning at how quickly the blade has become dull (especially if his wife’s been using it!)

Razor blades are very expensive so it’s annoying when they wear out so quickly. Added to that, the shave from them as they dull is poor and very uncomfortable.

Yet in mamy cases, there’s actually nothing wrong with the blade – that’s still sharp: it’s simply that the build up of hair and skin has dulled it.

By cleaning the razor with the patented RazorPit and its friction technology, all this residue is removed, which makes the blade last for up to 150 shaves – saving time, money, the environment – and your neck!                                                   

 All you do is just spend a few seconds between shaves running the blade across the RazorPit’s soft silicone plate surface (ideally using a little foam).

This specially developed material removes the surface layer of oil, hair and dead skin cells which collects on the blade and also straightens one side of the blade, in a manner similar to a traditional razor strop, leaving your razor blade clean and sharp.  And it serves as a rest for the razor.

It’s like shaving with a brand new blade every day – and at the same time you save up to 90% on buying new razor blades.

The RazorPit Razor Blade Sharpener massively prolongs the life of just about all disposable razor blade brands, such as Mach 3, Gillette Fusion, Gillette Venus, Gillette Stealth and the various Wilkinson Sword and supermarket own brand razor blades.

So Tanned has this brilliant little gadget on offer at just £18.00

A few ideas for Mothers Day…

by

Mothers Day

Buying a pressie for Mother’s Day is fraught with difficulty – flowers are nice but not very original… same goes for chocolates….  So, what DO you get your Mum to show that you care – and that she’s not just your mum but a gorgeous woman too?

Well, we’ve got some ideas for you that are anything but the usual dowdy gifts.

Let’s start with the gift of healthy-looking glowing skin:

alt="Vita Liberata Warm Silken Sun"
 
 
 
Great for people who are a little afraid of ‘permanent’ lotions, this gives a gentle gradual colour to the skin. It can be used daily to build colour or occasionally to prolong an existing tan and is exceptionally nourishing for the skin.
 
 
 
 Karora Botanical Bronzing Gift Set    £ 25.99             alt="Karora Gift Set"
 
The multi action micro peel gently preps & primes the skin prior to the self tan application; the easy to use tinted Self Tan Mist creates an instant bronzed effect, which can then be transformed from a day to evening look by adding a touch of the Luminosity Mineral Shimmer Dust.
 
Currently on Special Offer: save £8.50 and get 3 products for the price of 2!
 
alt="Vani-T Everyday Goddess Collection"
 
Show your mum just how special she is by treating her to a Pamper Session – in the comfort of her own home! 
 
This lovely kit – all presented in a glamorous silver toiletry bag – contains everything she’ll need to prepare (Tan Eraser), cleanse (SLS-Free Body Shampoo) and tan her skin (Bronzing Custard).

Great for any Mum who hasn’t tried home tanning before, as Bronzing Custard is a Gradual Tanner which you use just as you would a moisturiser. Easy!

How about younger-looking hands?

After years of washing up after us and doing our laundry, most mums complain about their hands. But help is at hand!  We really love the award-winning Dr LeWinn’s ‘Reverse the Hands of Time ’ . 

alt="Dr LeWinn's Reverse The Hands of Time"

 

Winner of the Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards of 2011, these two must-have products keep hands looking younger for longer – Dr LeWinn’s hand & Nail Cream – and nails longer and stronger – RenuNail Nail Strengthener !

And it’s On Special: the RRP is £27.50  - Our Price is            just £22.00  

 

We hope we’ve given you some great ideas – why not browse the www.SoTanned.co.uk  store and see what else is on offer?

Amazing RapidLash Enhancement Serum

by

alt="RapidLash eyelash enhancing serum"

I’ve recently had the opportunity to try out RapidLash and I must say, I’m mightily impressed with the results!

alt="RapidLash"

RapidLash is essentially a serum which makes your lashes appear longer and thicker.  It’s won lots of awards, so my expectations were high. I’m glad to say that I wasn’t disappointed, although it took a lottle longer than advertised (about 6 weeks) for me to really appreciate the difference in my lashes, though I wouldn’t go as far as 50% longer, which is what the manufacturer’s own trials delivered.

Fight the signs of ageing with Collagen

by

Fight the signs of ageing with Collagen

The word collagen is derived from Greek meaning ‘glue forming’ and is often termed ‘connective tissue’, as its purpose is to hold cells together.

Collagen is a natural protein that is made up of amino acids – the natural building blocks of our skin. Collagen is found throughout the body – in skin, muscle, tendon and bone and makes up 75% of the total protein of the body.

From around the age of 25, the loss of collagen and elastin leads to a degeneration of the skin, causing wrinkles and loss of smoothness. Research has found that women lose collagen faster than men, particularly following menopause.

Young and older skin structures

In addition, cigarette smoking causes biochemical changes in our bodies which accelerate ageing. Research shows that a person who smokes 10 or more cigarettes a day for a minimum of 10 years is statistically more likely to develop deeply wrinkled, leathery skin than a nonsmoker.  It also has been shown that people who smoke for a number of years tend to develop an unhealthy yellowish hue to their complexion.

All sounds very dismal.  But there is something we can all do to help prevent the formation of deep lines and wrinkles – whatever the cause. As your natural supply of collagen starts to deplete from the age of around 25, taking a collagen supplement can help maintain a youthful complexion and optimum well-being.

The positive effects of taking a collagen supplement on skin and organs (including nails and hair) has been observed for some time. An 8 week collagen supplementation trial (3500mg, 3 times daily) has been shown to significantly improve periorbital (around the eye) wrinkles and the signs of ageing.

How to prepare your skin for a great tan

by

Preparing skin for a fake tan

When you do a DIY job, such as re-papering a room or painting the woodwork, you wouldn’t go about it without some preparation, would you?  We all usually agree that the preparation is worth the effort: you’ll get a better, smoother finish, which looks great and lasts longer.

Then why do some many of us think we can create fresh and natural looking tan, by simply applying lotion onto un-prepared skin? The result: patchy application, unsightly build-up on elbows and heels and an uneven fade.  And then we blame the product or make the sweeping statement that ‘fake tans don’t work!’ 

I’ve heard a few such statements recently, which is why I’d like to draw attention to how to prepare for a gorgeous, even, great-looking tan. Continue Reading

Ghost story review: Dark Matter by Michelle Paver

by

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver

I love a good ghost story: something gripping that takes you away from the real world, with all its troubles.  But most leave me feeling a little disappointed; I can usually see the ending a mile off and most fail to ‘grip’.

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver is something different. Set in 1937, it tells the tale of Jack who is desperate for an adventure, a change to his poor and lonely life in dismal London… Continue Reading
