If an item was available that minimized the number of products you put on your face as well as your time in front of the mirror, would you try it? Of course you would; who couldn’t use a little extra time and money? I first spoke about the combo product, dubbed B.B., which stands for “Beauty Balm” when reviewing Dr. Jart+’s B.B. products several months ago, and became instantly hooked on the lighter than air, mousse-like substance. Originally created in Germany by dermatologists to aid in healing of the skin for laser surgery patients, the product gained popularity in Korea and has the opportunity to become even more mainstream via its latest iteration.
Now Garnier has perfected and made Beauty Balms easily accessible nationwide, come February 2012 with the Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream. Available in two skin tones option (light/medium and medium/deep), the ultra-light substance provides SPF 15 UVA/UVB protection, 24 hour moisture, evens skin tone, gives a tint, and even includes Vitamin C. Retailing for $12.99, you really can’t beat this price and product that combos up SPF, a moisturizer, and foundation or powder coverage found in one easy step.
As part of a six-city wide bus tour and beauty brigade, world-renowned haircare product company, Garnier Fructis stopped by Times Square in New York City to lend a green thumb. Inside the tour bus, shelves were stacked with bottles and samples of Pure Clean Garnier Fructis hair products to clean, style, and nourish air-polluted locks – an unfortunate downside to urban lifestyles.
The main goal of the tour/beauty brigade is to increase popular participation in saving the environment – and by default, the world – by pledging to collect recyclable items/used beauty product containers and shipping them to TerraCyclewithin two weeks to receive 2 cents per item that is donated towards any charity of choice. To get involved with this enviro-saving brigade, simply visit the Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Official Website and click on the Get Involved tab for the Cleaner Greener World Tour Beauty Brigade.
You can also have your personal commitment published publicly on Garnier Fructis’ Facebook page. Garnier Fructis and TerraCycle are diligently collaborating to raise awareness about the extra help our environment needs and get the public to actively participate in their earnest efforts to help save the world. With the ingenuity and help of TerraCycle, various post-beauty products (not limited to only Garnier Fructis product bottles) have been and are being converted into other items for everyday use, such as nootebooks, containters, baskets, or board slates that can be put into making a children’s playground. So, get all your old,empty bottles of shampoo and other beauty products together, put them into an old shoe box, label it, and ship it to TerraCycle for them to refashion into an enviro-friendly manner!
