Brush More for Less Dandruff: Goody - Reduce Dandruff Cushion Brush

I recently have had an embarrassing problem... Dandruff. At first I just thought that my hair styling cream was flaking and causing the nasty little flakes, but then I thought about it for a bit. I've had short hair for about 5 years. At that point I packed by hair brush into a box and left it in the basement. I seriously have not brushed my hair for 5 whole years. I've taken a comb to it every now and then, just not a brush. After confessing this to a Goody PR rep, she sent me this. The Goody Styling Therapy Reduce Dandruff Cushion Brush ($13.) It has copper bristles to kill 88% of bacteria and fungi that causes dandruff and it is said to stop itching, flaking and static. I recently read about a study that showed how aluminium, stainless steel and plastic surfaces harbor bacteria until it is manually cleaned. Copper, however, is antibacterial.

My husband and I have both been using this brush for a couple weeks now. I've made it a habit to massage my whole scalp with it before I jump in the shower. This eliminates excessive hair-loss IN the shower. So far, so good. The dandruff is gone!

Face Candy Favorite: Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Today, in particular, I'm soooo happy that I have my tiny (.35 oz) tube of Aquaphor Healing Ointment in my purse. It was snowing sideways when I was on my way to work. I've been having some problems with red, chapped, flakiness around my nose and lips. For times when my Nivea Kiss of Moisture seems to wear right off, layer Aquaphor underneath it (or something a bit waxier for the 2nd layer, like Burt's Bees.) The non-irritating, fragrance-free ointment soothes dry skin and lips, minor burns and cuts, sensitive skin and skin irritations from laser treatment or radiation therapy. I recall noticing a tube of it around my parents house when my dad was going through radiation for breast cancer. Actually, thinking of that makes me a little bit sad... ANYWAY, I got a 2 pack of .35 oz tubes that are great for your purse. It cost me around 8 or 9 dollars. Totally worth it. If chapstick isn't doing the trick, try this.
