Freeman Beauty Psssst! Tropical Dry Shampoo

As college students, we’re always busy and on the go. Sometimes we don’t always have the time to style our hair or even wash it. Instead of throwing it up in yet another ponytail or messy bun, try the magic of dry shampoo. Trust us, dry shampoo can save the day!

Transport yourself to an island with the Psssst! Tropical Instant Dry Shampoo! As the brand that brought you the original dry shampoo, your stylist’s favorite secret is now available in an exotic tropical scent. Featuring a new odor modification complex, delight the senses with a fragrance that blooms over time to match your longer-lasting style. The lightweight, talc-free formula soaks up oils, sweat and product build-up, taking hair from dirty, flat and matte to refreshed and revived. Water not required just spray, brush and go for hair that feels and smells freshly shampooed!

L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes & Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion

We all know tanning in a tanning bed isn’t safe or healthy for our skin. Instead of risking the health of your skin, try Self-Tanning Towelettes, the fast, easy way to a flawless looking glow. The 100% natural-looking, streak-free tan starts to develop in just two hours. This single-use towelette applies easily, dries quickly with Vitamin E and DHA. Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion give you a deep natural tan—an instant bronze glow that won’t rub off. The most important part of using self-tanner is careful application:

  1. Cleanse face, preferably with an exfoliator to smooth out skin’s texture. TIP: Use Pure Clay Mask to exfoliate & refine pores.

  2. Apply a moisturizer followed by a thin layer of Sublime Bronze Serum all over face for subtle base tan.

  3. Apply Sublime Bronze Tinted Lotion only onto natural hollows of the face. TIP: Suck in cheeks.

  4. Apply a thing line lightly down the sides of the nose from the bottom of the eyebrow. Leave product on 1/3 hours depending on desired level of tan. Wash off with a facial cleanser. Apply 1-2 times per week to maintain contour results.
