LiceMD, Pesticide Free

Lice MD I would like to take time to share some facts about head lice and a new product that makes getting rid of them much easier. Some may be thinking omgawd she’s African American, why is she talking about lice? Well, anyone can get head lice. It is a misconception that African American children don’t get head lice. African American children are much less likely to get head lice than Caucasian or Hispanic children because of difference in hair texture and hair products used. Head lice have a much harder time latching on to curly strands and they have a hard time surviving certain moisturizers commonly used by African Americans. Head lice are becoming stronger and more resistant to less hospitable living conditions. So for this reason all children in high risk areas should be checked.

Facts about head lice (source):
* There are between 6 and 12 million cases of head lice each year.
* Head lice are the second most common condition among children – second only to the common cold.
* About 80 percent of schools across the country have at least one outbreak of head lice per year.
* Pre-school and elementary aged children (those aged 3 to 12) are most commonly infested, girls more frequently than boys.
* Lice infestation is not due to poor hygiene. In fact, lice prefer to live on clean heads. Head lice spread easily by direct contact.
* Head lice can be spread whenever there is direct contact between the head or hair with an infested individual.
* Lice can also be spread through the sharing of personal articles like hats, towels, brushes, helmets, hair ties, etc.
* There is also a possibility of spreading head lice via a pillow, headrest or similar items.
* Humans cannot get head lice from pets.

LiceMD has developed a pesticide and chemical free, hypoallergenic formula that helps eliminate lice in just three easy steps. It is odorless, can be reapplied as needed, and super conditions the hair to prevent from pulling it out when removing lice with the provided comb. Removing lice just got easier.

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion

I believe that along with your teeth, your hands also make a statement about yourself. Having soft, clean, and well groomed hands shows that you have good hygiene. When you show that you have good hygiene, people are more likely to take you seriously.

My hands are constantly in motion. I cook with my hands, clean with my hands, and everything in between. I also compulsively wash them. All of which leaves my hands dry. Who finds dry hands attractive, especially on a woman? This is why I’m forever slathering skin care products of all kinds on my hands after they come in contact with water.

Last month I received a sample bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding lotion to try on my skin. Guess what part of my body I used it?

Now, this lotion is intended to treat severe dry skin conditions such as Eczema, Psoriasis, and Thyroid problems. Thankfully I don’t having any of these conditions, but I appreciate a product that I can still benefit from. Skin MD Natural is a thin lotion that rubs on slippery and immediately dries leaving the skin feeling hydrated. I love how easy the lotion rubs in and dries without leaving a greasy residue. When I use this lotion I don’t have to worry about my hands losing grip of the things that I grab or try to open. This lotion sits on my desk and goes in my purse when I leave the house. Greg hasn’t gotten his paws on this lotion* and I intend on keeping it all to myself! Bwahaha!

* he’s always dipping into my personal stash of lotion or carmex when he runs out of his own
