Body Brushing And Brown Sugar Body Scrub Perfect In February



A daily dose of good hard body brushing and showering with a heavenly brown sugar body scrub. Just incorporating these 2 simple beauty steps in your routine, can give you back softer, smoother skin. And it's time to step up the exfoliation during the cruel month of February.

Yeah, it's winter, and the air is dry and cold. And it's time to 'Feed your skin,' ladies.

Step #1. Before showering, it's very beneficial to dry body brush. Great for the dimpled derriere and other cellulite-prone areas...like thighs, upper arms, and belly.

Says who? Anushka.

Anushka who operates the world-renown Cosmedical Centre, Spa, Salon & Cellulite Clinics in New York City, has been an authority on cellulite and its prevention for more than 3 decades. And her wonderful website AnushkaOnline features cellulite treatments, target exercises, nutritional recipes, the ABC's of cellulite, and more.

Circulation can really help tone down cellulite and bring back smooth, taut skin:

Keep moving.....Anushka's a firm believer in taking a large natural bristle brush, and using the brush daily to give those areas special attention. "Dry brushing helps eliminate dead skin cells which make the skin look smoother. And it also improves lymph and blood circulation. I recommend a soft, natural bristle brush. Start at your feet and continue upwards in a circular motion towards the heart. Use once a day."

Step #2. Showering with a wonderful body scrub/polish completes the body exfoliation process. Try Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish Treatment ($65, 140z. tub, at Sephora).

This is a super gentle and effective body scrub. Every body should exfoliate. Your skin needs to get rid of dry skin cells and rough patches, especially at elbows, knees, and feet. But you also need to bring the moisture back, And this invigorating body polish by Fresh, does just that with almond oil and other all-natural ingredients like ginger root extract, peppermint, and citrus oils.

Perform Steps #1 and #2 daily, and your body will thank you.

Khloe And Lamar Nude In New Ad Launching 'Unbreakable' Fragrance

Khloe Kardashian, you naughty girl!

What can we say....Advertising pros will tell you that sex sells. Well, we're not so sure after seeing Khloe and husband Lamar Odom stripping all the way down, to promote their new unisex fragrance called, 'Unbreakable.'

Folks, the couple is indeed nude, naked, without clothes in the ad, caught here on YouTube. We think it's tacky and pretty arrogant, in our humble opinion.

We do like the idea of a unisex fragrance, however. The great Calvin Klein introduced us all to his own, CK One back in 1994. And that was big beauty news during that promotional blitz. The designer no longer sells CK One.

It's not easy developing a unisex fragrance, or one that appeals to both women and men. But maybe Khloe and Lamar have a super scent in Unbreakable. We'll just have to wait and see how sales go. The fragrance has just debuted.

Was the nudity necessary? Apparently, the couple loves to see themselves naked and wants to share that, and oh yeah, their new fragrance, with the world.

We wish the happy and attractive couple all the best, but think the nude Khloe and Lamar is a bit much, in addition to the married pair's own new reality show coming soon.

There are many other ways to sell fragrance in a sexy, even sexual way, but this is just too tacky. What do you think? Are we just being a prude?
