Get Hair Free For Summer - Braun Silk Epil7

We're told this every year but apparently we're set for a scorching summer this time around & it starts next week, let's hope so anyway!!!
So straight on to the priorities when it comes to basking in the sun - smooth hair free skin, no stubbly legs allowed! A quick easy solution is always required when it comes to this, I personally can't stand the whole waiting around until hair is long enough for waxing, yeauch!!!!!!!!!! We want a quick removal that gets rid of that awkward stubble, which is where Braun's new 'Silk-Epil 7 Xpressive Pro' comes in to play, designed to remove even the shortest hairs it can also now be safely used in either the shower or bath. It has a new close grip technology that ensures extra close skin contact & because it can now be used in the bath or shower it actually encourages a less painful & more gentle epliation rather than carrying this out on dry skin.
So here's some science behind it's genius (!!!!) -
New Close Grip Technology
Braun's latest technological breakthrough makes epilating more efficient than ever before. The 40 tweezers have been re engineered to close at the optimal angle and grip hair even closer to the skin for better short hair removal. The overall efficiency is further improved by an increased epilation speed by +10%.
SoftLift Tips
Silk-épil 7 Xpressive Pro also includes unique SoftLift Tips® which effectively lift even flat-lying hair and help guiding them to the tweezers.
Pivoting Head
Silk-épil 7 Xpressive Pro features a flexible head that can pivot by up to 15 degrees forward and back. This means it can better adapt to the contours of the body for more comfort and maximum thoroughness. And it ensures that optimum usage position is maintained.
Smart Light
The Smartlight helps easily guide your way through the epilation process and lightens up even the finest hairs for no miss removal.
New High Frequency Massage
The High Frequency Massage System stimulates the skin and effectively soothes the plucking sensation during epilation to maximize your skin comfort.
I find that using this in the shower is like night & day in comparison to the usual standard epilator experience, when the skin is warm as well as moist hair removal is much softer & easier, also the fact that this has such an excellent grip & allows for easier movement means it is far less painful. I think the worst part of epliating used to be that many of the hairs were only 'tugged' and not removed as the grip just wasn't powerful enough, also when the skin is dry or cold it increases the pain level by about 100!! Over all this experience is quick & easy, not as painful as you would originally think, plus the best bit is you're left hair free for 4 weeks, nice!!!!!! Definitely recommend every girl get one for their shower as well as holiday suitcase this summer!

Get the Look - Gwen Stefani at the MET Costume Institute Gala

Get Gwen's latest look with Pantene Pro-V Ambassador and Celebrity Stylist, who styled Gwen Stefanis' Hair for the event.

Danilo’s Step by Step Guide to Get the Look:


Step 1:
Wash and condition hair with Pantene Pro-V Volume & Body Shampoo and Conditioner – if you feel your hair needs a treatment apply Repair & Protect Intensive Hair Repair Treatment. It’s important to look after hair, especially when it’s coloured, so it’s soft and healthy looking.

Step 2:
While hair is still wet, spritz evenly with a heat protection spray (ready for the blow-dry). Create volume by applying Pantene Pro-V Volume & Body Mousse to help thicken roots and to support the grand bouffant.

Step 3:
Take 3cm wide sections of hair at a time and blow-dry the length of the hair curling the hair under at the ends with a round brush to give a rounded finish. After blow-drying, pull her hair back and pin in place to create the lift. Use your fingers to pull out small pieces to form rows on the top of the hair so it’s not perfectly smooth.

Step 4:
To finish the look, gently apply an anti-frizz serum to combat any humidity then mist hair all over with a Pantene Pro-V Volume & Body Hairspray to give your look staying power for the evening.

Danilo’s Top Tip: “Make sure you’ve got as much natural volume in your hair before styling by using Pantene Pro-V Volume & Body Shampoo and Conditioner.”

Behind the Smile - Tooth Whitening Facts & Fiction

A brilliant, white smile is often coveted and rarely achieved. There are currently dozens of at-home whitening kits, toothpastes and mouthwashes claiming to remove stains, and of course dentists ready to bleach your teeth to blindingly-white shades.

Trying to figure out what is real and what is fantasy in the world of cosmetic dentistry can be a challenge, and top New York Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Michael Entin has answered some of the common misconceptions about the practice of teeth whitening -

True or False? - The Truth About Teeth Whitening

"All teeth whitening gels are not the same"

TRUE: Not all whitening gels are the same. Even though most of them contain carbamide peroxide ("bleaching agent") they differ in the percentage of it used in a particular gel. Percentages can range from 5% to 45% or even more.

"All teeth can be whitened equally"

FALSE: The thicker the enamel layer of the teeth, the better is the whitening result. Most tooth stains are divided into two categories: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic stains are those that are within the chemical structure of the tooth itself – they cannot be bleached. Extrinsic stains are the result of outside staining like coffee, smoking, and red wine. Those stains can be bleached, so ask your dentist what kind of discoloration you have before you start a whitening procedure.

"I have to get the strongest gel so that my teeth can get whitest"

FALSE: You should consult your dentist for the proper strength of the gel. This should be done to avoid harming the teeth.

"Whitening toothpastes can bleach teeth"

MAYBE: Whitening toothpastes can bleach the teeth but only to an extent. Dr. Entin recommends that they be used in combination with whitening gel.

"Veneers, crowns, and tooth colored fillings will be whitened just like my teeth"
FALSE: All of the above are made from porcelain or resin composite and they cannot be bleached

"Tooth whitening can have side effects"

TRUE: There can be side effects if the proper instructions are not followed. There is increase in sensitivity, gingival burning, in some cased pulpitis (inflammation of the nerve and pulp inside the tooth). However, all of that can be avoided by consulting a dentist prior to the whitening process and strictly following your dentist's instructions.

"Dental insurance will pay for teeth whitening"

FALSE: Most insurance companies do not cover teeth whitening because it is considered to be a cosmetic procedure. Procedures like that are not covered most of the time.

"Whitening kits given by the dentist are the same as the ones purchased over the counter"

False: Over the counter kits contain a less active bleaching ingredient than the ones provided by the dentist, therefore it takes more time to whiten the teeth with over the counter kits.

"Once my teeth are whitened, they will stay white forever"

False: On average, tooth whitening can last six months, depending also on lifestyle habits like consumer foods and beverages that can stain the teeth.
