Slough-off winter with Molton Brown’s Warming Eucalyptus & Ginger Body Scrub. This high performance body treatment feels pampering but gets the job done. Designed to boost circulation, soothe muscles and reveal a clearer, brighter skin tone, this body scrub is the perfect prep for summer skin.

I am currently testing the best sunless tanning products on the market. To do this, exfoliation is essential. With Molton Brown’s Warming Eucalyptus & Ginger Body Scrub, exfoliation is a treat. The fresh scent instantly lifts the spirits. The “warming” sensation, caused by ginger root (a powerful natural stimulant) feels comforting and invigorating. Eucalyptus oil, soothes muscle strain, relieves fatigue and tones as sea salts improve skin conditions, relax the muscles and detoxify the body. I told you… high performance.

Molton Brown’s Warming Eucalyptus & Ginger Body Scrub leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed, revealing baby-soft skin in seconds. Prep your skin for summer with a high performance body scrub.

Use these products on a particularly gloomy day when you need a little pick-me-up. The refreshing scent will instantly recall memories of warm sunny days and a calm sea breeze.

Fragrance Tips: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

Coco Mademoiselle

When it comes to purchasing fragrances and/or perfumes, ever wonder how to make the aroma last longer?

Purchase perfumes in gift sets, where you receive lotions, bath gels even antiperspirants along with a bottle of perfume. To make your favorite fragrance last longer, layering is key.

Identify your pulse points, these are areas blood vessels are closest to the skin, giving off more heat; wrists, behind the ear, crook of the arm/knee and base of the throat. First, apply the body lotion to these areas, then spritz fragrance on top of the lotion. By using the body lotion as a base, when perfume evaporates off the skin, the lotion will still work to provide the scent.

Purchase your favorite fragrance in antiperspirant form. These products are created to work overtime with your body chemistry in which when you sweat, the fragrance is activated. When a perfume works with your body chemistry, the scent becomes stronger. Direct sunlight can unbalance the ingredients in a perfume, store in cool, dark areas. This will also keep fragrance from evaporating.

Fragrances are typically classified according to the strength of their scent. this is normally based on the concentration of scent, oils and levels of alcohol. “Parfum” or “Perfume” contains the highest concentration of these oils. Then come Eau de parfum, Eau de toilette, Eau de cologne and lastly body sprays and lotions.

I grew up with a mother who constantly wore Chanel No5. When I smell this perfume,  it instantly reminds me of her. Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle is my signature scent. It has the same notes of Chanel No5 but a much younger version. When I wear it, I instantly feel warm and comforted.
