Smooth summer legs

Ultra-moisturizing shave cream - EOS

Enriched with aloe, oatmeal, Shea butter and vitamins E and C, EOS ultra-moisturizing shave cream gives a serious hand to your legs! The cream smells good (Pomegranate-Raspberry or vanilla bliss), is easy to use (even though you need a lot), is paraben-free and comes in a pump that frees your hands for shaving. ($3.99, Shoppers Drug Mart, Uniprix)

BIC Soleil Savvy

BIC offers a new range of disposable razors (a disposable handle and 4 replacement cartridges) that will soon become a favorite with its reasonable price. For less than 8 dollars, you will have beautiful legs all summer! ($5.99 to $7,99 in Canadian drugstores and big-box stores)

Venus Embrace

For young girls from 12 to 18 years old, who are shaving for the first time, Venus Embrace has 5 blades and a lubricated protective stripe to prevent cuts. With its fun packaging and its colourful handle, the young girl will have her very own shaving kit! Designed to be used with the Satin Care Shave Gel (razor, $9.99, replacement cartridges $20.49, Satin Care Gel $5.49 in all Canadian pharmacies and big-box stores)

Nair Spa Clay

Nair designed new wax strips to do the work in the comfort of your home at a lower cost. Of course, the results are not always satisfying (you may have to wax the same area twice) but because a box contains 20 strips for less than 11 dollars, this product is worth a try.

Spa Clay – legs and body – 20 large wax strips and 2 post-waxing moisturizing towelettes, $10.99 in all Canadian pharmacies and big-box stores.

Depilatory Cream

Personally, I love depilatory creams. It works beautifully, makes my skin soft and smooth and its regrowth is reasonable. Nair offers us its new Spa Clay Shower Power Cream, which, as its name implies, can be used in the shower. Clay, mango butter and acai berry are among the ingredients that will make your skin very soft! Practical, it acts in as little as 3 minutes, so it is perfect for the morning rush.

($15.99 in all pharmacies and big-box stores in Canada)

My child is smelly!

Your child is now 6 years old. The innocence of childhood still shines brightly in his or her eyes but… they're smelly! When your child gets hot, you scrunch your nose and smell a tinge of sweat. Are they too young for deodorant?
