Arm & Hammer Invisible Spray Powders

The new Invisible Spray Powders from Arm & Hammer might not be the sexiest or Insta ready new launch but they are definitely worth tucking in your beach, day or gym bag.

There are two versions- one for feet and one for body.  They best part is no white residue. They go on clean and dry fast with no cast, no stickiness and a very light fragrance.  They do however, feel cool and lightly deodorize  while absorbing moisture and sweat .  All good. They use the brand's trademarked Sweat Activated Fresh Guard technology that is meant to keep you fresh all day.

These can be sprayed anytime, anywhere and with Summer's heat here , I need that. It's a great refresh midday or late afternoon and I am going to keep the body one in the tote I drag to the office each day. 

These are also perfect for your gym or beach bag.  Going from the beach, lake or pool to dinner , you can freshen up in a jiffy or cool off  hot feet from pounding the pavement. 

They are talc free, btw.


Arm &Hammer Invisible Spray Powders are sugg. retail $6.99  and are available at Walmart .

Emjoi Micro Pedi Nano -Portable Pedi Tool

This new Emjoi  Nano Pedicure Tool is  pretty neat. A smaller  version of the Micro Pedi, which I have never tried. It's a  battery operated callous smoother, and totally gets the job done on feet that need some TLC. And my feet, oh do they need it. I haven't gotten the Spring pedi yet , so testing this on my feet gave it a good workout.

The smoothing bar roller  goes right against the foot and smoothes with a 360' roller at 30 times a second.  It doesn't take long and it's not hard or harsh on your skin with normal use time. A few seconds basically.

My feet were smoothed out and feeling far better then they had been.  The Emjoi will also be a great tool to use in between pedicures. You'll be able to stretch the time a bit longer and if you're like me, barefoot on the pool patio all Summer, keep away the roughness  from that.

This is sized small enough to travel with  at 3 1/2 inches  and  there are  attachments as well for other areas like elbows  but that's not something I've explored .

You will need 2 AA  batteries for use.

The Emjoi Micro Pedi Nano is  $ 24.95 . At www.emjoi.com and Amazon you'll get free shipping or find it at Walgreens and other drugstores.

L'Occitane Amande/Almond Foot Care Cream

You've been there right ? Apply much needed foot cream only to have to, pun intended, twiddle your toes while it dries before you put on socks, shoes or hit the bed. The new Amande Foot Care Cream from L'Occitane helps to eliminate the wait.

It goes on very creamy then starts to sink in fast  .  Tt still takes a little time , maybe a minute tops,  and then  dries to a powder like finish.  Despite the fast dry it does a nice job of moisturizing and in the warmer months will feel more comfy on feet in need of some TLC.

Amande Foot Care has almond milk and oil , shea butter and mint . The scent is light, and powdery.

50 ml/ 1.7 oz tube for $ 16

Available now at all L'Occitane locations and www.loccitane.com

Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Line

Fall is here and that means for most of us, a start of cooler temperatures. It's not blustery yet, but that's coming.  Time to start thinking about  the body lotions we know we'll need  more of soon enough.

 I wanted to give Eucerin's Plus Intensive Repair line a test because it has alpha hydroxy in there to give smoother skin as well as glycerin and urea. In winter, when skin gets really dry , I knew this could be good.  I tried they body  and foot cremes.

These both definitely smooth.  After using on upper arms, there was a very noticeable difference. ( The body creme is great for  those little bumps on the arms as well. A huge plus. I hate them.) On legs, same thing, I had extra smothness for days. The  Body Creme is thick and takes a bit to sink in but once it does, the moisture lasts . It's not too sticky and you will see ,or I should say feel ,results.

The Foot Creme isn't as thick as the body creme but still works just as well. It sinks into feet fast and has been a big help with keeping my heels smooth. Think using this under socks for best results.

As I mentioned, Intensive Repair  has an alpha hydroxy formula , and there is also glycerin and urea. The line also has a Hand Creme and Lotion.

Available at all mass market outlets.
