    A Happy Father’s Day Gift Set Bundle from Dionis

    One of my favorite body care brands is Dionis, I love their product because Dionis products are packed with vitamins & minerals naturally found in Goat Milk that nourish, condition and leave skin feeling hydrated and revitalized. Goat Milk is naturally enriched with high amounts of protein, fat, iron, Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, D, E and many more.

    My recent treasure found are their hand soaps. Dionis hand soap is a rich and creamy concentrated formula that is sulfate-free and highly moisturizing because they blend their natural Goat milk with Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Coconut Oil.

    I am using the lavender blossom goat milk hand soap right now, this hand soap will not only clean your hands, but it will leave you feeling silky smooth and moisturized.

    WHY GOAT MILK???

    Goat Milk is naturally enriched with high amounts of protein, fat, iron, Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, D, E and many more. It will nourish your skin while keeping you moisturized.

    • The pH of Goat Milk is nearly the same as that of human skin, helping to maintain a slightly acid mantle.
    • One of the main structural elements in living cells are lipids. Goat milk lipids are skin-compatible and are easily absorbed to moisturize and nourish our skin. No greasy residue.
    • Goat milk is rich in lactic acid and whey proteins. Lactic acid helps smooth skin by exfoliation while proteins enhance skin’s appearance.
    • Packed with Vitamins A&D and E — the first a powerful anti-oxidant, the second, a supplement for our “sunshine-needs”, and the third, adds moisture.
    • Contains a complex of trace minerals originating from fresh-grazed pastures to help skin naturally maintain its own moisture.

    Goat milk has always been the most acceptable of all milks for people with sensitive digestive systems — and what’s good for the inside is just as good for the outside!

    How to make it easier for yourself to produce well-written work

    Being able to write well is a skill people need to have. In most workplaces, you will end up having to write reports, respond to emails, create presentations, and produce all kinds of other written material. 

    If you currently have a role where this is a part of what you do, it will not do you any harm to hone your writing skills. Here are a few suggestions to help you to do exactly that.

    Invest in the right tools

    At the top of the list is investing in some decent writing tools. At the very least you need a good word processing package, a grammar checker, and a way of checking for plagiarism.

    It is also a good idea to find a way of reading your text out loud. Doing so will help you to pick up on things that spelling and grammar checkers miss. No matter how good the one you buy is, as you can see here they will not pick up every single error.

    Learning how to use these tools properly is going to take you a bit of time and effort. But, doing so is definitely worthwhile. Not only will you end up producing better work, but you will also save yourself a lot of time and frustration in the long-term.

    Write often

    The more you write, the better you will become. If you can write for pleasure as well as when you have to. This sounds counter-intuitive, you would think that it would make you sick of writing. In reality, the opposite happens. 

    You start to enjoy writing more. The more you enjoy it the more you want to write. It is a great, virtuous cycle to get into.

    Avoid eyestrain by scheduling regular breaks

    However, that does not mean that you should plan to sit down and write for several hours. Most people do not have the mental ability to do this. Even if you can do so, you shouldn’t. As you can see from this article, if you want to keep your eyes healthy, you need to take a break at least once every 2 hours.

    Learn to stay ahead of schedule

    Very few of us write well when we are under too much pressure or not feeling well. Whenever you can, get ahead of schedule. Doing this will help to take the pressure off and enable you to produce better quality work.

    Plan to proofread what you write at least twice

    It is especially important to leave yourself enough time to proofread your work more than once. You will pick up far more mistakes when you do so. If you are writing something important ask someone else to read through it as well. Usually, they will pick up a few more errors. Or, be able to suggest ways to make what you have written clearer.

    Provided you do all of the above, you will find that your writing will improve. The more you write the better you will become.

    The Solution To Your “Pit Problems” – The Original Underarm Brightening & Deodorant Cream

    Your summer wardrobe of tank tops, sundresses and swimsuits can reveal an embarrassing secret and Forgotten Skincare makes the product we can all raise our arms in excitement for.

    The Original Underarm Brightening & Deodorant Cream has the solution to all of your pit problems and it’s safe for sensitive skin. Swap out that white, chalky deodorant for this all-natural wonder cream that leaves you feeling confident, fresh and smooth.

    While your outer arms show even-toned skin, underneath your armpits are subject to darkness, razor burn irritation, ingrown hairs and unmentionable odor.  It’s easy to assume a product like this is full of harsh and harmful chemicals, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

    Revealing Your Underarms Should Be Anything But The Pits

    Using natural key ingredients Uva ursi extract and vitamin C, you can get more even-toned underarms and feel confident about raising up your arms this summer.

    • Does not contain synthetic fragrance, hydroquinone, bleach, parabens, silicone or mineral oil.

    • The blend of jojoba oil and aloe vera keeps skin moisturized while the grapefruit oil keeps you smelling fresh and citrusy.

    • Working as a natural deodorant, salicylic acid rejuvenates skin cells to reduce odor-causing bacteria buildup.

    • Light and water-based, it absorbs quickly into skin leaving behind no residue to rinse off.

    Vitamin C and Uva Ursi help to:

    • Reduce underarm darkness and uneven skin tone caused by hyperpigmentation.
    • Leaves underarm hair and skin softer.
    • Prevents ingrowns and soothes any irritation due to razor burn or waxing.
    • Deodorizes naturally leaving you smelling like nothing at all and feeling confident.

    How to use:

    Apply a pea size amount to each underarm morning and night (2X a day total) without using any other deodorant or antiperspirant. If you must use another product while using The OG, then apply The OG first and then apply your additional underarm product.

    • For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and intimate areas. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. We recommended using sunscreen when skin is exposed.
    • This product has not been tested or certified as safe to use while breastfeeding or for pregnant women. Please consult your doctor before use.

    Ingredient Info 

    The ingredients in The OG were chosen specifically for your underarms. We recommend against using The OG on other areas of your body, including your face.

    Forgotten Skincare products are made with the highest quality ingredients sourced from organically grown plants with no traces of parabens, mineral oils or silicones. Bearberry extract (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) enhances brighter, even skin while producing a powerful astringency and anti-inflammatory effect. The antioxidant levels in this plant work to combat free radicals by increasing cell turnover rate. It consists of a substance called arbutin that has been studied to reduce melanin production, the darker pigments in our skin. This ingredient is not hydroquinone but is a derivative of hydroquinone. It works similarly to hydroquinone without the safety concerns, making it a suitable natural lightening alternative for those with sensitive skin. This ingredient is essential to our formula, but it wouldn’t be as effective without the other carefully chosen ingredients.

    About Forgotten Skincare

    Forgotten Skincare creates a one-of-a-kind underarm cream that targets all pit problems at once. Created with natural and organic ingredients, The Original is the go-to solution for uneven skin tone, razor burn irritation, ingrown hairs, and embarrassing odor.  Swap out boring deodorant for this natural wonder cream and get ready to feel confident, fresh and smooth. Uva ursi extract and vitamin C work together to brighten darker & uneven skin tone, while jojoba and avocado oil turn up the moisture. Forgotten Skincare creates natural products for forgotten places—made for women who want to feel confident and let go of their insecurities.
