Do you want to add artistic flavor and sophistication to your bathroom or perhaps some sensuality to your shaving ritual? Designer Danielle Malka can make it happen with the Flame Set, code name: Ménage à Trois.  Danielle’s company, êShave takes the fundamental principles of wet shaving and makes them modern with a designer shaving set that pulls inspiration from both the worlds of dance and fine art.

The sleek, refined look of the brush and razor aloft the sexy stand are predominated only by the the lavish texture of finely polished metal fused with the function of high-quality materials.  The slender sculpture betrays the rugged weight and durability of the product but accentuates the elegance of its character.

If you’ve always wanted the pleasure of a ménage à trois, now is your chance. 
*Look for the 18 karat gold plating option to better flaunt your affluence and augment your decor.     

Look to êShave for an entire collection of shaving essentials that are as functional as they are luxurious.  There is a reason that êShave is distributed in only the most exclusive and select retailers around the globe.  The answer is quality, quality, quality.

Each brush and razor is manufactured in-house at the êShave NYC office to ensure the integrity of the designs and a lifetime of use.  The collection of shaving brushes are handcrafted in three grades of badger bristles (the only animal hairs that retain water) for a soft, decadent feel.  Keeping hot water on the skin is the secret to a close shave.  Badger bristles help to soften and raise the hair away from the skin, helping to prevent irritations such as razor burn, bumps, and ingrown hairs.  It also helps to both generate a rich foamy lather and exfoliate debris from your pores.

3 grades of badger hair:

• Fine- A good quality bristle that softens with time and use.  It features strong, yet flexible hairs that are great for exfoliation and obtaining a close shave.
• Finest- Excellent value for its price, this is a handmade brush of high-quality bristles.
• Silver Tip- Handpicked and hand-assembled, these bristles are the ultimate luxury.  With a firm root and a super-soft tip, they offer the closest, most comfortable shave. 
  
  

  *Each e Shave Brush should last 5-7 years and the Silver Tip should last a lifetime. 

The Flame Set is offered in a hand-brushed nickel-plate finish, a cool gun-metal finish, or a rich 18 karat gold plating.  Available with either Gillette Fusion or Gillette Mach3 refillable blades.

Preventing acne is more than cutting back on chocolate and washing your face before you hit the sack. 
Everyone has a different genetic disposition for acne, which can become exacerbated by hormonal changes, stress, and sometimes-poor skin care regimens. 
Obviously acne affects teenagers, but what you might not realize is that young adults in their 20’s and 30’s are more likely to develop acne than their teen counterparts.  OK, so what do you do?  The answer is to educate yourself about the different kinds of acne, identify your condition, and treat your condition accordingly; with specifically designed products such as the Acne Complex Kit by Murad.  After personally experimenting with the complex kit, I have to say that it’s the single best tool I’ve used for clearing and preventing blemishes; better than Proactiv, and better than Triclear. 
In independent clinical studies, over 90% of the participants experienced a reduction in blemishes in just 4 weeks.

There are different types of acne lesions as well as grades of acne severity.  If you’ve been on the same medicines for months without any significant progress, you need to try a new treatment or discuss your condition with a dermatologist.

There is no single perfect prescription item in the treatment of acne, however, 
very mild, grade 1 acne, composed of small, superficial lesions, such as blackheads and pustules often responds well to topical therapy.  A topical cream with .025% Retin A consistently brings resolutions of blackheads (Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel).  Since Retin A may cause irritation it should be used properly.  
For patients with incredibly oily skin or innumerable stubborn blackheads, Tazorac Gel (Tazarotene) has proved it’s worth.  It comes in 2 strengths, 0.05 and 0.01%.  Topical Azelex 20% cream is a great product for treating small inflammatory papules and hair bumps, while Spironolactone works well for those women experiencing acne due to hormonal influences.

The Murad Acne Complex Kit is a four-product, three-step system, ideal for teens beginning an acne regimen or for individuals combating adult-acne for the first time.
Howard Murad, M.D. founder of Murad Inc., created the Acne Complex Kit to prevent damage and scaring of the skin caused by acne blemishes.  The kit caters to a wide variety of ages and skin types.  These Murad acne products are clinically proven to help rid the skin of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, redness and inflammation – leaving skin clear, smooth and healthy looking.

The Murad Acne Complex Kit consists of:

Clarifying Cleanser (4.5 fl. oz) – Salicylic Acid deeply cleans pores while Triclosan reduces 99.9% of surface bacteria, the contributing factor for red bumps, in one minute. Salicylic Acid deeply cleans pores, while anti-inflammatory agents such as Black Cohosh and Green Tea Extracts combine with natural moisture factors to soothe and hydrate.

Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel (2 fl. oz) – Alpha and Beta Hyroxy Acids gently exfoliate, while Retinol, Zinc, Arnica and Hydrogen Peroxide control oil, reduce bacteria, alleviate redness and prevent new breakouts.

Acne Spot Treatment (0.5 fl. oz) – Sulfur minimizes the severity of breakouts, while Grape Seed, Zinc and Licorice Extract soothe irritation and reduce redness. Fast-acting spot treatment for all skin types.
