All Because Two People Fell In Love:  All Natural Shaving Oil™ offers a consistently smooth shave, reduces nicks and razor burn, and left my skin conditioned and moisturized!

Now you can stop the bleeding right away with this small but mighty Nick Stick. And with vitamins A & E and Aloe, it will help promote healing and soothe your skin, too. Nicks happen. Now you can do something about it.

An Island Review:  I used the All Natural Shaving Oil and was very impressed with the way it worked. There were no nicks, no foam to wash away. The only thing left was smooth skin! My legs felts soft and silky.

Blessings Abound:  It glides on smooth and clear allowing you to see and have full control of your shave, dramatically reducing the occurrence of nicks and cuts. Only 6-8 drops of this oil is adequate enough to provide a full shave, depending on the what area of your body you are shaving, and has a light citrus scent that dissipates as it dries. 

Brain Foggles:  After shaving my normally dry skin felt soft which is very unusual. I normally have flaky skin and have to use moisturizers daily. Not after using this shaving oil.

Chocolate Fingerprints:   I was easily able to shave each leg with only five drops of oil, and my skin was left feeling a lot less dry than it is after using shaving cream.

Dinkers and Giggles:  WOW. Those few drops really did work. My leg was smooth with just one pass of the razor. The other thing is there wasn’t a ton of shaving cream clogging up the blades of the razor- woohoo!

The Dirty Shirt:  The oils used will leave your skin feeling conditioned and moisturized without a trace of an oily or greasy residue. And the slight citrus scent is refreshing.

With the Nick Stick you can stop the bleeding right away. And with it containing vitamins A & E and Aloe it will help sooth and heal your skin. It dries clear with no residue and has a self-sterilizing roll on applicator.

The Glamorous WAHM:  Six to eight drops on wet skin and you have one of the smoothest shaves you’ve ever experienced.  My legs loved it! 

I was also sent the Nick Stick which, stops bleeding quickly, dries clear, and rolls on with a self-sterilizing applicator.  This has acutually been a great product for my husband as he is always “nicking” himself while shaving.  Now he doesn’t have to go into work with toilet paper on his neck!

Homeschooling and Loving It:  This product prides itself in being all natural.  My legs feel very smooth after using it and I didn’t once cut myself.  

Lisa Reviews:  here is a couple things I noticed after using this to shave my legs.  First, it didn’t make me break out into hives.  Second, I didn’t need to moisturize my legs after shaving.  I also think it gave me a closer shave.

Loving Heart Mommy:  He has very sensitive skin and with using the all natural shaving oil had no problems with irritation or breaking out. He was satisfied with the smoothness of his skin as was I because a scruffy face isn’t cool in my book.

The Nick Stick is true to its description, it does stop the bleeding quickly and it also contains vitamins A & E, plus the extra Aloe is very soothing. I used the roll on applicator and instantly no more boo boos for Mommy!

Mom of 2 Dancers:  Just 6 - 8 drops is all you need to have a smooth shave. I loved using this product and was impressed that you honestly needed so little.

My Sentiment ExactLee:  The best part was the close shave my husband received from the All Natural Shaving Oil. He has sensitive skin plus a lot of course hair so shaving is usually a nightmare. This product did not irriate him the way a shave with shaving cream usually does.

Our Seven Qtpies:  Just 7-10 drops of oil covers my entire leg and made shaving without soap easy. No nicks, cuts or dry skin. I wasn’t blown away by an exotic scent, however, I was impressed with how far it went. My legs were smooth and soft but not at all oily. Just a few drops really did cover a lot.

Pajama Mom:  Shave as normal, rinsing your razor. Your reward: no clogged pores, no razor burn!  Easy to use and a great fresh scent that left my legs silkier and smoother than ever!

  I cut myself around the knee once and quickly pulled out the Nick Stick. It stings but you know that’s good, shortly after the bleeding stops! what a relief, no more tissue paper and blood droplets on clothes!   

The Power of Housewife Word of Mouth:  I love this oil, because just a few drops will take care of each leg, I haven’t yet been able to convince my husband to switch over, so he doesn’t realize what he is missing out on, but that is fine by me, because then I don’t have to share!

This [the Nick Stick] is really so handy to have around the house not only for my new household shaver, but for any small little scrape you might have. It completely stops the bleeding quickly, and is a self sterilizing roll-on. It has immediately become Rebecca’s new shaving best friend.

Red Sox Mommy:  With shaving oil from Pacific Shaving Company you can get a smooth shave every time that rarely leaves you with nicks and cuts. This works great for men and their daily face shaving and for women and their leg shaving.

He got a nasty nick on his chin and had trouble getting the bleeding to stop. If he’d had Nick Stick he could have stopped the bleeding quickly and easily and without any residue. 

Robyn’s Online World:  The actual shaving felt much smoother against his skin. Once finished his skin was noticeable smoother to the touch and he felt it was a much better, closer shave than what he normally gets when he just uses soap and water to shave with.

Anyway, he did cut himself once in the past couple of days while shaving and whipped out the Nick Stick to stop the blood. It did sting a bit, but went away soon enough and the bleeding stopped right away.

Rockin’ Mama:  I was able to attain a smooth shave without the usual irritation.  The oil has a faint citrus smell and left my skin feeling super soft and moisturized (don’t worry, it isn’t greasy).

I used the Nick Stick on my legs and just like they promise, the bleeding stopped rather quickly.  It tingles when applied, but that is the result of the antiseptic Benzocaine.

Sage and Savvy:  At first I was a bit wary because after massaging the oil on my legs, there was only a thin layer of oil on my skin—so thin that I thought it wasn’t enough to protect it from razor burn. But I was wrong—my razor glided smoothly over my legs—no razor burn, no nicks. The oil is great because it’s clear so you can see where and what you’re shaving.

She Scribes:  The razor smoothly went across my leg with no problems at all. After I shaved an area of my leg I rinsed it off with some warm water and then felt my leg. It felt great! It removed the hair with no problem and my skin felt really nice and smooth. It did not feel oily or slimy. Instead if felt very soft.

Sheltered Not Shattered:  The oil really did give me a smoother shave and I had no nick’s. It only took about 7 drops per leg and I was done. The best thing to me was that with the oil my razor didn’t clog up. 

 I haven’t used the Nick Stick but I will take his word for it. It did do what it said it would though, it stopped the bleeding with no need for a pinch of toilet paper on the face.

Tara’s View of the World:  Initially I just didn’t quite “get it”… how was I supposed to shave with oil? And how long would that teensy tiny bottle last? As it turns out it didn’t take very much oil at all to do my legs and it was super easy to use.

Thoughts From the Mrs.:  I was so curious to try something that claims a little goes a long way and it moisturizes at the same time. Well, I was very, VERY pleased with this product. The oil spread easily and I didn’t need to apply more than the box suggested for the job. At the finish, I didn’t need to apply any moisturizer to my legs. My skin was smooth and soft.  

The Way I See It:  I have extremely dry skin and have to apply some type of moisturizer everyday. I was thrilled with the soft moisturized feeling my skin received. I was able to forgo applying any lotion because my skin was already hydrated from the Shaving Oil.

Shaving and Nicks seem to go together. At least with me they do. Nick Stick is the solution to these inevitable mishaps.

Wish List Worthy:  The shaving oil has a light citrus scent, and made shaving a much nicer, smoother experience. The shaving oil is totally natural, and it left my legs feeling soft and smooth. Another bonus, it was a lot easier to see where I had already shaved.

I encourage you to drop by the Pacific Shaving Company for more information including retailers who carry the products.

We all know how important protection from the sun is especially on children. However, just trying to get everyone ready and out the door on time can sometimes be an adventure in itself. Never mind remembering the sunscreen. That’s why we were really interested in trying out Bethesda Sunscreen Soap. Anything to make life easier, right?

From the site: “Our products are created to heal and strengthen your body through your skin. Your skin is what protects you from the harsh elements of everyday life, your body’s first line of defense. Like eating organic food or taking multi-vitamins for a healthy lifestyle, Bethesda Skincare products go to work on the outer body taking extreme care in ensuring that the skin and the body remains healthy and beautiful.”

Bethesda Sunscreen Soap has a combination of lemon and lavender oil which actually smells really nice. It’s a more gender-neutral scent so that the whole family will be able to use it. It leaves no residue, is hypo-allergenic, and contains 50 + vitamins and minerals to give your skin a radiant and healthy glow while supporting overall skin health. In fact, over one-third of the body bar is purely vitamins and minerals! That’s pretty cool!

Here’s what the rest of our group had to say:

An Ordinary Life: I do anything and everything to keep my face looking fresh. The Bethesda Sunscreen Soap fits right into my normal routine and makes my skin feel great!

Wish List Worthy: The first time I tried it was on a day when I knew I would be out in the sun a lot, a Saturday! The sunscreen seemed to do it’s job, as I didn’t get burned at all after spending the day in the garden. The SPF is 10, which is a perfect level of protection for everyday.

Chocolate Fingerprints: The soap has a very pleasant smell that’s not at all harsh. I was a little concerned before trying this product, because I have quite sensitive skin. Many, many skincare products have caused me to break out, so I’m always wary when it comes to testing out new soaps and lotions. Happily, my skin didn’t protest one little bit to my using Bethesda Sunscreen Soap. In fact, I think it thanked me!

Amanda: I have been using this sunscreen soap for about a week now and have already seen a change in my dry skin. In fact I have been complaining about my skin being so itchy due to the change in weather and the winds drying out my skin. In the past few days my skin has been less dry and itchy.

Busy Mamas: It smells great.  If you love that spa aromatherapy scent, this is the soap for you!  My daughter thinks the smell is “delectable” (yes, she said that).  But then what can you expect from a Drama Queen Princess with champagne taste?  You can bet her father is very worried about the teen years.

All Because Two People Fell in Love: I was really surprised that it had an extremely light refreshing scent. This is something that I look for in a soap so that I can still wear my fragrant body sprays and lotions. The soap lathered like a normal bar soap and rinsed off well without leaving a build up feeling like some soaps. I would highly reccommend this great soap to anyone!

The Glamorous WAHM: It smells wonderful with a fresh scent, not overwhelming or perfumy.  I am glad to now know about this all natural sunscreen in a convenient body bar.

Red Sox Mommy: With my skin history and their dad’s red hair and fair skin [my daughtes] don’t have a chance. So I’m always on the lookout for products that can protect my family’s skin. And now thanks to the Family Review Network I’ve discovered a great product to help in my war against the sun and it’s damaging rays.

Blessing Abound: I didn’t seem to break out in a rash or have that sensitive, raw sensation on my skin that happens with some soaps which is also a plus. I like the fact that I can skip the step and save time of applying sunscreen daily. This is a soap that I would be deem safe and beneficial for my whole family to use!

From Melissa’s Desk: Just by washing with Bethesda Sunscreen Soap you are helping to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. It left my skin feeling especially clean and smooth. I highly recommend that you pick yourself up a bar or two.

Val’s Views: I expected it to leave some sort of residue or leave my skin feeling greasy like most sunscreens do but my skin felt clean and supple. RB liked the smell and the way that the soap lathered up. CJ has very dry knees and legs and after a couple of days of regular use they seemed softer than they have in years.

Sage and Savvy: I’ve been using Bethesda Sunscreen Soap for several days now, and I love it. The soap smells very refreshing. It lathers nicely and moisturizes well.

Lisa Reviews: [My husband] is very sensitive to soaps and lotions with fragrences.  That is why I had him try this out.  It has a light scent.  However, he could use it and still be able to breathe.  He like it because even though it was scented it didn’t have a “girly” smell to it.  I liked it, because it made him smell nice.

Our Seven Qtpies: I have used the soap and Samuel, who has skin sensitivities, and he had no reactions to it at all, as it is hypo-allergenic. I liked that it didn’t have an overwhelming scent and didn’t smell “therapeutic.” There was no crying when I soaped him up and no rash after the bath.

Here’s What I Think: I love this soap!! I have been using it for almost a week now. It’s very clean smelling but not over-powering. It leaves my skin feeling clean but soap and not dried out.

O Momma Reviews: When I started reading other people’s testimonies, I really couldn’t wait to try it.  I found that people were using it not just as a body wash, but all over! As shampoo and facewash. I decided to test this myself. I mean, a bar of soap…as shampoo? Really?  Really. I’ve use it several times and it actually helps my hair obey and style better while still keeping it’s shine. It feels a bit different compared to bottled shampoo at first, it feels drier like a soap bar tends to feel, but I just use conditioner like normal and it does a great job!

Rockin’ Mama: When I first used it, I immediately noticed the pleasant smell (who doesn’t like to smell nice?  : )  More importantly, I love the way my skin feels after using it.  It’s super easy to use…just wash with it and you’re afforded with an invisible layer of protection.  I fully expected my skin to feel greasy or to feel some sort of residue, but I didn’t.  My skin just feels soft and hydrated.

The Clan McLeod: Though, I’m a bit more diligent with Pink Panther since she has incredibly fair skin and burns at the slightest bit of sun exposure. Now, I can get us a bit more coverage just by showering! Also, Bethesda has over 50 vitamins and minerals to keep your skin supple and healthy.

An Island Review: The first thing I noticed was the scent. After all, it doesn’t matter how well it works, if I don’t like the smell, I’m not using it. This soap had the combination of lemon and lavender oil which actually smelled really nice. It’s a more gender-neutral scent so the whole family was able to use it.

So, there you have it. A great smelling, clean feeling soap for the whole family with the added protection of sunscreen. At $8 per bar, it’s also affordable. Order your Bethesda Sunscreen Soap today!
