As we get older, we become wiser with experience. Some happy, some difficult or tragic but one moves forward, taking the learnt lessons on board. One of the life changing experiences for me has been the pregnancy and birth of my children. Once you have the responsibility for the little person, you became more aware of the things happening around you, more compassionate (I hope) and more conscious of the fact that the environment in which we live is far worse than the one that our parents brought us into.
I have been very choosy about what I dress my son in-only natural fibres, like cotton in the summer or wool in the winter, I nursed him for a few months, I cooked his meals from scratch using mainly organic produce and tried (and still do) to put natural, nourishing things on his skin, like aroma-therapeutic oils that my friend Michelle mixes for his skin depending on the time of the year.
Not so long ago I came across the brand that I wrote about, called Tawna Hill Baby and knowing that it is quite natural and gentle I have become a convert. But recently Tawna, the lovely owner of the brand, had sent me the link, that really made me sit down and think about what I use on my own skin.
As you know I love beauty brands and make up but haven’t been a huge advocate of organic brands for various reasons. I had an interesting discussion with Newby Hands, beauty editor extraordinaire at Harpers Bazaar UK about the pluses and minuses of organic skincare earlier in the year but still continue to use ‘mainstreem’ brands with only a few exceptions-Gisele’s Sejaa skincare, Michelle Roques-O’Neils oils and RMS Beauty.
Tawna mentioned to me in her recent e-mail that she joined the group called Campaign for Safe Cosmetics when she started her brand. The campaign’s aim is to try to change the way companies can add chemicals to products. Have a look at the link below and tell me that it doesn’t unnerve you or at least gives you a pause for thought-do I really know what is actually in the products that I use?
I try to recycle, I mostly use Method cleaning products around the house-very handy if you have children, as their products don’t contain toxins that a lot of ‘mainstreem’ brands do. I try to use baking soda or some essential oils when I clean my house-small things, one might say, but they do make a difference. Try switching off unnecessary lights, don’t put your electrics, like TV on PC on standby, especially if they ‘live’ in your bedroom and use energy saving light bulbs-many of us already do that but not many of us actually give it a thought about what’s in our ready-made meals or what we put on our skin. Are we just lazy or we don’t care enough, until something drastic shakes our foundations? What Tawna said to me resonates with me still and in the coming days I plan to give the idea of what our cosmetics contain and what we put on our skin, our biggest organ, which leads to our bloodstream, a much bigger thought. Why don’t you do too ?

Scrubbing with Kiehl’s and blushing with Armani
posted July 19, 2010
Posted by galina in Beauty & well-being
I was browsing cosmetic counters in Selfridges today and finally got my hands on Armani’s latest make-up invention, called Blushing Fabric (second skin blush). It’s been already written about since April but there has been a delay in its release and Armani’s make-up artists have been laughing seeing me approach their counter yet again, asking ‘is it here yet?’.
Well, there are three shades advertised but only two were released and one is already sold out. I got mine in No.1 and it looks crazily pink, yet when you apply it it glides on smoothly, gives you a ‘blushing bride’ look, smells delicious and stays put, like its sister foundation. It works really well in hot weathers, so I would say a great addition to your make-up bag before you go on your holiday.
The second product that I didn’t plan to buy but in the end couldn’t resist is by Kiehl’s and it is part of their Creme de Corps range. It is called Soy Milk & Honey Body Polish and you just have to smell it to know that you have to have it on your shower shelf. This formulation contains Shea and Jojoba butters plus Sweet Almond Oil that is blended with ground Luffa fruit. The said combination will not only exfoliate your skin but nurture it too, because it contains pure honey and soy milk protein. I initially tried it on my hand and my girlfriend’s son has been trying to kiss my hand since then-what more can a girl want?
Smoky eye effect made easy by MaxFactor

Smoky eyes will make any girl feel sexy but it always comes down to application and let’s be honest, not all of us have mastered that art!
MaxFactor’s latest eyeshadow, called Smoky Eye Effect, almost does the job by itself. It has a two sided applicator, with a lighter shade as step 1 and a darker shade completing your look. Those beautiful eyeshadows come in several colours, including brown (perfect for every day!), grey (for a dressy night out), blue, green etc. The applicators are rounded and the eyeshadows glide one easily and stay put, without smudging and giving you a ‘panda’ look.

Sejaa pure skincare and interview with Gisele
posted June 25, 2010
Posted by galina in Beauty & well-being
It’s hard to look and Gisele and not feel jealous, even if you are a very self-assured woman. Let’s be honest-she is a young woman with a sexy body, who appears stunning in every photo that you see of her and yet she seems to be very centered and natural. She manages to keep her private life just that- private- and yet you sense that she is a strong woman who knows who she is without letting it get to her head. She has a husband and a baby son and an extended family, who seem to be very close in our unsteady times.
A while back, during a lecture at the Royal College of Fashion, Mario Testino told the audience, including me, about trying to start Gisele’s career and fashion editors being reluctant to champion her. Well, look who was right in the end? Gisele is not only the beauty but the brain too, who is determined to achieve her goals, without compromising her integrity or vision.
Having said that, I always felt that Gisele was a worthy role mode who has an innate gift to inspire people (she ‘introduced me’ to Don Miguel Ruiz, whose book ‘The Voice of Knowledge‘ I found thought provoking and inspiring), so I became very curious when I read her profile in one of the recent American Vogue editions, where she mentioned her skincare line, called Sejaa.
She started it not so long ago, wanting to use natural ingredients that healed the skin and made it radiant-after all, appearances do count in the society we all live in and a supermodel knows a great deal about that, I presume. Yet I think it is a labour of love for her too, with which she hopes to give her knowledge and maybe some of her beauty secrets back to women who are inspired by her. One also senses that becoming a mother changed her and made her think about what she uses on her skin and body-having children does make you pause and think about many things, including one’s health, mortality and general outlook on life……
If you look at the Sejaa’s site, you will see Gisele goofing about, while she talks about her pure skincare brand. She shows you how to use and apply products and explains her ideas and philosophy in developing Sejaa.
I placed my order and waited patiently-after all, deliveries from the US take ages!! I waited and waited and my parcel didn’t arrive-testing me, as I really wanted to try the creams. I e-mailed Sejaa customer services who were very sweet and prompt in their reply-maybe it’s the Brazilian way? I was told that they were now shipping thousands of kits to Europe and their European warehouse was finally operational, cutting the delivery time down to one week ( I had to wait three or four before the warehouse was ready and parcels were shipped form the US). For now you can purchase Sejaa direct from the website (see the link below), but eventually the company will partner with good distributors. Good distributors-please take note, the products are wonderful!
Finally my beautifully wrapped kit arrived in a pretty environmentally friendly packaging, that contained a message from Gisele (every customer gets one! and it’s both sweet and insightful), a bamboo cloth for the face, a little wooden spatula and two creams and a mud treatment. The packaging is simple but quite distinct with pretty lettering, listing the ingredients and explaining how to use each product. You can easily recycle the boxes and later the pots that contain creams and I think that’s a very novel and contious choice when it comes to most of cosmetic packaging.
The Day cream is a lighter formulation (it smells faintly of coconuts) and the Night cream, which smells a little like cocoa and cookies .), is thicker and more nourishing. I haven’t had a great success with natural skincare until now and in the beginning my skin felt a little tingly when I applied the creams, but within a week my skin felt clearer and more radiant. I think that some of my lines-and yes, I have those because I frown and don’t Botox-seem softer. My skin is well moisturised and I like how it feels to the touch, almost like it did in my 20s.
The Mud treatment left me equally impressed, especially when it dries up and I can pull funny faces at my son, who looks bewildered and probably thinks that his mother is crazy! It clears your complexion with a unique combination of natural clays and unlike some masks on my shelves, I actually use this one at least once a week.
Now, let me ask you a question-do you think I met Gisele? The honest answer is not yet, but I was really keen to ask her more questions before writing this post, so I did, and thanks to Sejaa customer services and Jared Wright, I have a little exclusive of mine below and hopefully a treat for you-some questions from me and answers from Gisele, which I hope will inspire you to try her products and see why I am such a Sejaa convert.
E-mail authorised interview with Gisele about Sejaa skincare.
Q:How did you come about with the idea of developing a skincare line? Were you influenced by Christy Turlington’s experience with Nude & Sundari or Rose Marie-Swifts RMS Beauty (I have become addicted to her products lately!)
A: I’m getting older and I’m starting to think about what I’m putting on my skin and in my body in a wholesome, natural way. If I want to be the healthiest I can be, I want to give my body the best it can have. I really notice a difference when I don’t eat well, when I don’t moisturize, when I don’t exercise – I feel a difference. So, when I decided to do Sejaa, this is really about self love, this is a way to nurture my body more.
I wanted make something that was the most natural. I asked, “What is the best way possible this can be made?” because then I can feel good about putting it on my body.
Q: From your experience, what does a woman need to do to keep her face looking beautiful naturally?A: I believe when you are conscious of putting what’s best in and on your body, then it shows in your complexion. Beauty is a reflection outside of who you are inside.
Q: Which of Sejaa’s product’s is the most effective or is your favourite? And to what age group is your skincare best suited?A: I created each Sejaa product to do a certain thing. I’ve used a lot of products in my career, so I know what’s good for my skin and what isn’t, and I really spent a lot of time making sure each Sejaa product would be the best it could be for everyone. I love the Day Cream because its very light and it nourishes very well. The Night Cream is amazing because its a little thicker, so its great at replenishing your skin while you sleep- and I think it smells amazing too. The Mud Treatment is great for pulling the impurities out of your skin.
I think Sejaa is best suited for ages 16-65 and for both men and women.Q: Do you plan to expand your skincare line and maybe branch into body care too?
A: Yes, we’ll be launching a Self-Warming Exfoliating cleanser in the Fall. Other body care products are on the way as well.Q: I have regular aromatherapy massages and truly believe in the power of essential oils. Do you use essential oils and which ones do you find the best for the skin?
A: I really believe in how essential oils can benefit different parts of health and wellness and that’s why I included them in the Day and Night Creams. I love aromatherapy.
Q: What do you think about organic skincare versus normal (chemical based) skincare?A: Anything that is truly organic, like an apple or an orange, even if you put it in the fridge, can go rotten in a week. So I know that natural preservatives (like coconut) can give it a longer shelf life. Sejaa is best that I think it can possibly be.
Q: Do you think that massage is beneficial for the face?A: I love face massage and using Sejaa to massage into my face feels wonderful.Q:What makes Sejaa different from other skincare brands on the market? How involved are you with the product development and ingredients?
A: Sejaa is different from other skincare brands because I wanted it to be 100% natural and 100% environmentally responsible from beginning to end. I’ve been very involved in creating this line for over 2 years now to make sure it was exactly the way I thought it should be – and I’m very proud of it. I hope you like it too.
An evening with Ellis Faas at Liberty’s
posted June 11, 2010
Posted by galina in Beauty & well-being
I have written earlier in the year about Ellis Faas and her make-up brand. This week I had a chance to meet her in person, listen to her being interviewed by her friend Bo, ask questions and try new and already existing products in her eponymous line. There are certainly a lot of make-up brand s and make-up artists but somehow a lot of cosmetic products seem mainstream. With Ellis Faas make-up you get ‘niche’ products which are not only quite superior in their colours and formulations to many other brands, but they also have their own identity and you feel more unique when using them. And believe me, I love my make-up but am quite fussy about my preferences-have been for a while and like that I will remain, that’s a promise!
The meeting was held at Liberty’s charming tea room and was quite intimate, as the limited number of clients attended, which made it even more special. Ellis is a striking woman, with dirty blond hair and beautiful eyes who wore a very unusual belt with a bag attached at her hip level-quite unlike anything I have seen before. She was quite open with her answers but I was under the impression that she is a woman who is very self- assured and knows her own mind but wouldn’t let you in easily. Her lovely brother Thijs was also present (this sweet and handsome guy drove his sister to London from Amsterdam for the event as Ellis is a nervous short-distance flyer-if that is not dedication, I don’t know what is!) and I find it very endearing that he and his sister work as a team. Thijs is also very hands on when talking to customers and navigating you to the Ellis Faas make-up artists who were full of advice and tricks, without imposing anything on you.
Now, back to the evening. Ellis’s grandparents ran a very successful hair salon in Amsterdam which also stocked up make-up (including the cream that her grandfather formulated), like Guerlain-which was an incredibly innovative concept, considering the times. Ellis became fascinated by Guerlain lipsticks which were high in pigment and very drying, unlike the lipsticks that Ellis designs now.
When Ellis was young she wanted to be a fashion designer, even going as far as designing fur bikinis, which never turned into a runaway success. Ellis liked (and still does !) fashion and photography and she started taking pictures of herself wearing make-up ‘looks’ soon realising that make-up made a difference to how one looks. So considering make-ups versatility she stuck to make-up and later becoming a very successful make-up artist who worked with many famous brands and photographers and was doing runaway shows. Ellis motto ( I think ..) is ‘it has to mean something to you and you have to stick with it’. One has to persevere and be stubborn, she says. Of course luck plays part in it, and so does being at the right time and at the right place. When Ellis started working she didn’t want to follow trends and even though she might have been less technical than other make-up artists, she preferred to stick to her own formula, ‘being quick and poetic with the looks’ that she was creating.
Ellis always loved working with colour and texture but noticed that big fashion houses or brands were often stuck in their own ways, while Ellis wanted to identify something unique and compact, as she says ‘it wasn’t a marketing idea, but a very selfish one’ when it came down to developing her own brand of make-up.
When she thought of packaging she was guided by the military organisation and precision so, her make-up case, which comprises all of your make up-foundation, concealer, lip colour, mascara, blusher, powder plus a mirror, might look a little grand in real life but if you consider that it holds all of your make-up needs, it will make perfect sense-and it actually looks stylishly cool too. The point that Ellis has made that made all of us present giggle also related to the holder. The top of it holds powder and mirror but Ellis wryly noted that if you don’t use powder you can put your pills, vitamins or condoms in it-have you met such an originally practical make-up artist? The make-up case is based around the idea of a gun and bullets-go, see it and you will understand how ingeniously that idea got transferred into a compact, which is a modernly cool storage device that will speak highly of your style credentials. Also consider the fact that it was an idea in Ellis head which the creative team had to interpret and make it real. The make-up ‘holder’ was a starting point and based on this idea’s strength, Ellis went on to create clever and unusual formulations.
When it comes to colours Ellis is the first to admit that colour is her life, so developing them for her make-up was easy for her.
It was absolutely logical that if you want to give women lots of choice, one has to concentrate on the colours that stand up or originate from human body. Take Ellis’s Red, a versatile red lip colour. Red is the colour of blood and as all of us have blood running through our veins-well, one doubts when it comes to some people around us but never mind this fact-it suits every skin tone as it won’t ‘clash’. Ellis calls it ‘beautifying’ rather than ‘goryfying’.
I have to say that having already used Ellis’s eponymous eye colour, concealer and blusher, I can honestly testify that her textures are unique and that her make-up stays put, while you face continues to look and most importantly feel good. I have now also added Glazed Lips in 303 to my selection (which works better in the summer, as it doesn’t stay ‘put’ as long as Creamy Lips or Milky Lips textures but you can have a more vivid colour or touch it down, if you want a less subtle effect). I also want to add that Ellis Faas counter is also very distinct, with the displays having little ‘pools’ of colour around every shade of concealer, eye shadow etc. so you can see what colours you might like before you start trying them on.
Ellis is thinking of developing primers to add to her make-up collection but definitely rules out the skin care line under her name, saying that ‘textures and colours’ are her expertise, and not the skincare plus let’s be honest, that market id already over saturated.
When working on her formulations Ellis did talk to other make-up artists to get feedback but she does stress that all final decisions were hers and hers alone. For example she does say that when you put foundation on, it has to ’stay on the skin for a little while in order to ‘react’ with your skin’, so bear that in mind when you are trying things at make-up counters. Try, give it a few minutes and then go outside, into daylight, to assess how it looks on the skin.
When asked about other brands Ellis says that she does feel the affinity with Francois Nars and MAC (who were the first in the market to bring pigments into play) but Ellis Faas Human Colours collection is distinctly her own, I sense, supported by her brother and her team, some of which I think are also her friends. Who says that a woman can’t make-up her mind? This Dutch powerforce of a woman is definitely needs to be reckoned with.
p.s I also want to thank Natasha and Ana, the Ellis Faas make-up girls, who were very helpful and full of useful application tips and techniques during the evening. Maybe next time I can convince Ellis to do my make-up, so I can look achingly cool and feel like a supermodel at least for a short while .)
Even though everyone seems to be talking about the crisis, the prices for everything seem to be creeping up, so it gives one immense pleasure to receive a free gift, especially a good one! Red magazine’s current, July edition, carries with it a Jemma Kidd hi-shine silktouch lipgloss and you have a choice of three colours-shell (almost clear), fuchisia (a subtle red) and candy (pink).
I have bumped into Jemma when both of us used to go to a gym in Chelsea, a million years ago and every time,when working out on various machines, she used to give me strange looks and I could never figure out why….as far as I knew we didn’t socialise together, had no friends in common or never dated the same boy… Anyway, Jemma started a make-up line and later make-up school-I first heard about it from a friend of mine, who was an amazing make-up artist.
I can’t say that I have used a lot of Jemma Kidd’s products but I can highly recommend two of them, a Jemma Kidd Pro skin rescue bio-complex veil SPF 15 and an I-perfector. The first one is a primer and a tinted moisturiser with SPF of 15 plus it acts as a concealer too-very handy for travel or if you want a multi-tasking product that makes your skin look radiant and the blusher stay put. The latter is a whitish eye pencil and a base for your eye lids, which I sometimes wear instead of a daily eye shadow. Now you can try the lip gloss for a price of a magazine too.

Several of my American girlfriends have been fans of MINX manicures for a while now, but as always, London lags behind in terms of beauty innovations and only recently this technique finally arrived on our shores.
I have gone into my local nail salon in happy anticipation and wasn’t disappointed to start with….
The girl who did my pedicure was really nice and she showed me the possible ‘films’ that I could choose from for my colour and design. After that she filed my nails, trimmed my cuticles, took my nail varnish off and put cuticle oil on my nails. So far, so predictable. The difference lies in what happens next. The manicurist then ‘warms up’ the foil-like film (with shiny mirror reflective finish) under the special lamp and then attaches it to you nail. She trims it to contour your nail shape and makes sure that the ‘film’ attaches firmly to each of your nails. The process is very quick and you don’t have to waste your precious time waiting for your nails to dry. Another plus is that they don’t theoretically damage your nails as they are chemical free.
I was told to be careful with hot water or steaming-the main enemies of MINX manicures- and that it should last as long as my usual manicure does. I skipped home, looking at my shiny blue nails but the happiness was short lived….as three hours later the film started coming apart from the top of my nails, while the base still looks pristine.
The salon was really sweet, saying that it has never happened before and it must have been a ‘faulty’ film, which they are going to report back to the US manufacturing/supplying company. I was offered a free pedicure, which I accepted. Am I disappointed? Yes, as I had high expectations and, like any woman short on time, I would love to cut my manicure time without compromising the quality. Alas, it was not to be on this occasion, but then it’s only my experience, yours might be different!
Skin is our biggest organ, as it covers us from top to bottom, protects us, absorbs things like vitamins, sunshine and moisture and makes us look human .) One thing many women have in common is the desire to have radiant looking skin, whatever the age.
When we are young we don’t even think about it, but as we get older and the radiance requires more work, we often struggle to find that magical solution.
As you know, I am a firm believer and lover .) of aromatherapy and I admit to being addicted to the skin oils-be it for the face or body-that my lovely aromatherapist Michelle mixes for me seasonally but a few days ago, as I was browsing the skincare counters at John Lewis I saw a bottle at Decleor that made me pause and consider it. The oil is called 10-day radiance powder cureand it contains essential oils (grapefruit, petitgrain,lemon) and fruit extracts. You only use it once every season, i.e. four times a year, for about 10 days or so-depending on how you use your dropper. The bottle’s top contains pure vitamin C powder which you release into the bottle and shake it. As soon as that process is done, your oil is ready for use, morning and evening, underneath your usual moisturiser. My skin really liked it and I would recommend it, unless you have access to a good aromatherapist or my friend Michelle, who can tailor make an oil for you.
I have been practising yoga on and off for the last ten years, first having tried it thanks to my very fit friend Yana, who dragged me to a yoga class, even though this type of fitness was alien to me at the time. The next day I couldn’t get off the bed-my legs and thighs hurt, so did my arms and all of my muscle groups, including the ones I didn’t know existed. I groaned and got off the bed eventually, doing it in slow and weird motion. I called Yana and voiced my concerns but she just laughed, saying it’s normal and I will grow to love it-and boy, did I want to believe her, because that woman had a naturally sculpted body of a goddess.
Years passed, I went to different classes and tried different types, loving Ashtanga-the one Yana introduced me to, Hatha and Iyengar, but not Kundalini for example, maybe because every time I ended up with instructors whom I found too mellow-after all, we all are different and different things inspire us. Mind you, I am still learning and evolving, having never triedAnusara or Jivamukti, for example .
Not so long ago I caught a piece of an interview with Jennifer Aniston, another woman with a body of a goddess, who was talking about her instructor Mandy Ingber and the yoga and toning exercises that she combined to create Yogalosophy. I was really intrigued and scored the Internet in order to find the DVD, as yet not available in the UK and somehow Amazon, my normally perfect provider, wasn’t too keen to ship it for me from the States-so I ordered it from Mandy’s site direct (see details below).
Now, before I tell you about my experiment with Mandy’s ‘Yogalosophy’ DVD (believe feel become), let me just say that I have come across many instructors, some were ok, some were uninspiring, on a few occasions I even walked quietly out of the class-and I wasn’t trying to be rude, the classes were just beyond me, one particular, a private one I had in the blissful Maldivian resort comes to mind-to say that the instructor was boring, would be a complete understatement-let me just say that he sounded like he was reciting a content of a book to a complete idiot-you get the idea….. Some experiences, rarer ones, were amazing, like a retreat that I did with Katy Appleton in Ireland (Katy’s teacher was Shiva Rea, who has one of the most beautifully filmed yoga DVDs and I swear by her pre & post natal yoga DVDs during my pregnancy with my son and later helping me get my body back into shape)-she was fun and encouraging and her classes left you inspired and uplifted-I still use her ‘Yogaworks’ DVDs at home. There were regular classes with a wonderfully self-depreciating Beatrice Palazzo, who did classes at my regular gym and I think most of the people attending her class were huge fans-every class was unlike the previous one, even though we often did the same poses. We laughed but be under no illusion-Beatrice made us practise properly, paying attention to our bodies, alignments and poses. Anyway, having had my share of experiences, I still keep on looking for new directions in my yoga practises-hint-Christy Turlington’s book ‘Living yoga: creating a life’s practise’-wonderful and so is Maya Fiennes’s ‘Yoga for real life-a kundalini method’, but that will be a different story, I promise you.
Now, back to Mandy Ingber, who I haven’t met, as she is LA based, but would like too, if our paths ever cross. Anyway, her Yogalosophy DVD contains two 30 minute practises-(if you are a beginner, be warned-your muscles will hurt but in a good way), 6 yoga extras and a full 55 minute practise. You can do this DVD silently, i.e. just following the poses/exercises or you can do it with Mandy’s commentaries, mantras, funny banter and inspirational thoughts-hint: check out her cool yoga vision mat .). Personally, I enjoy listening to her and feeling like we are doing a private session-ah, the life’s little luxuries! Mandy is small and lithe and her manner is very welcoming-she makes you feel like she is an old friend, who will teach you something interesting and will let you in on her secrets and experiences, which your body and mind will welcome. Your mind is very important when you are doing yoga, as it takes you to a completely different place during the practise and Mandy talks a bit about our desires that drives us forward and helps us achieve things.
I find Mandy’s DVD challenging in places, simply because an element of cardio is added to it as a bonus for your muscles but the practise invigorates you and does give you leaner, more defined silhouette over time-if you practise regularly, that is .) Give it a go and see what you think, because now I am a big fan and so are my muscles.

Goodness & cool sensations for your teeth
posted May 21, 2010
Posted by galina in Beauty & well-being
As any of you knows, we need to take care of our teeth. That includes brushing twice a day for at least 3 minutes at a time, flossing and maybe even using a mouth wash-so far, so straight forward, if you want your teeth to look good, the breath to smell fresh and even prevent problems with your heart . Almost boring in its routineness….
Well, all that is about to change thanks to the news range of tooth cleansers-yes, that’s what theyare called !-from a famous dental duo Drs. Andrew Dawood & Susan Tanner, who run a multi-tasking dental practise in London. Tooth cleansers come in 4 flavoursome bursts-Sicilian lemon, Brazilian lime (my current favourite!), Garden Mint and English Peppermint. They are currently stocked up at the larger branches of Boots and I bought mine on a ‘get 3 for the price of 2′ deal, which is still going on by the way .)
Each cleanser is formulated to ‘remove plaque & prevent decay, restore natural whiteness and keep gums health and breath fresh’. They do contain sodium fluoride and are safe to be used by kids too, so the whole family can have fun in the morning or before bedtime.
I kidd you not when I say that those cleansers are bursting with flavour and I swear that my teeth feel cleaner since I started using them. Oh, and I am going to give them as stocking fillers this Christmas as they are THAT good. Who says that our daily habits have to be boring and pleasure-less?
