Snoreeze Oral Strips

Snoring can effect either your own sleep pattern or disturb your partners, making any bedtime sleep routine a nightmare.
Snoring is caused by the vibration of the soft tissue in your head and neck as you breathe in.
When asleep the airways narrow and relax in your head and neck which is then thought that this narrowing increases the speed you breathe out which then changes air pressure in your airways. 
The cause of these changes make the soft tissue vibrate by sucking the sides of the airways in.
Snoring can also occur when your suffering from colds or enlarged tonsils that result in partially blocked airways.
Evidence has shown that snoring left untreated can result in snoring getting worse over time and can result in damage to blood vessels that supply muscles in the head and neck to become weaker.
The vibrations from snoring weaken these muscles which result in their ability to keep your airway open.
Factors that can play a role to increase your risk:

Obesity: If you have a large amount of fat around your neck and have a neck circumference of more than 43cm (17 (inches) usually snore a lot.

Alcohol: Alcohol relaxes your muscles when you sleep, which increases the narrowing of your airways.

Sedatives/Antidepressants: In some people, these medications can have similar effect to alcohol on the muscles.

Smoking: Tobacco smoke can cause your airways to become inflamed, which causes greater narrowing of the airways.

Allergic Rhinitis/Allergies:
The inside of your nose becomes swollen and inflamed as a result of an allergic reaction to the substances such as dust or pollen.

There is no guaranteed cure for snoring but Snoreeze offer many different products to relieve symptoms, to help you gain a more peaceful night sleep.
Look at the chart below to help you decide which Snoreeze treatment would benefit you.
The Snoreeze Oral Strip targets the main cause of snoring and can provide effective relief for up to eight hours! The dual action, time-based formula lubricates and tones the soft tissues at the back of the throat to provide effective relief.
The Ingredients:
Pectin (from apples), Aqua, Glycerin, Peppermint Oil,
Cellulose, Sorbitan stearate, Polysorbate 60, 
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), 
Menthol (from peppermint), Aspartame**, 
Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Saccharin, Acesulfame K,
Hyaluronic Acid, Guar Gum, Citric Acid, Blue FCF.
Vegetal Origin. **A source of Phenylalanine.
The oral strip is inside a sealed pouch with clear and easy directions to follow on the back. You take the oral strip out of its packaging and place one strip onto the root of your mouth.
It is recommended for best results do not eat or drink after applying the strips in your mouth.
I was really surprised on how quickly these dissolve in your mouth and leave a pleasant minty flavor, which is great when using these just before your sleep time.
In the Snoreeze Oral Strips pack you receive 14 strips which is a 2 week course.
The strips are a quick and convenient treatment to use at night time and i have seen and felt a huge improvement when using these. I know when i have been snoring as i have woken myself up on rare occasions and also my throat has felt sore in the morning. 
It is noted in the leaflet provided with the strips that the Snoreeze Oral Strips are not a cure for sleep apnoea (a related medical condition). You may be suffering from sleep apnoea if you stop breathing during sleep, wake-up tired or fall asleep easily during the day. It is recommended that you consult your doctor. Always read the leaflet before taking any product.

Trust Underarm Deodorant

Trust underarm deodorant is a scientifically proved and tested product that can eliminate underarm odour from one single application.
Just from one application this aluminium free deodorant safe guards you for up to 3 to 6 days, great if you lead a busy lifestyle and forget to apply first thing in the morning, it can happen!
The highly effective deodorant does not stop sweating but does prevent odour, which is great for the active user who rides their bike to work or you are at the gym. Some deodorants claim to provide protection but all they do is mask the odour and fail when you are active or there is a hot climate. You are wanting a product that gives you confidence in any situation, all day. Trust underarm deodorant treats the bacteria causing the odour, leaving the user with confidence and protection for days!
No harsh chemicals and being skin friendly (non irritating) this natural and herbal ingredient deodorant can be used by everyone aged 4 and above, great for the whole family.
Ingredients:
Petrolatum, Zinc Oxide, Paraffinum Liquidum,
Lanolin Alcohol, Zea Mays Starch, Allantoin, Talc,
Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyglyceryl-3 Caprylate,
Tricontanyl PVP, Silica, Isopropyl Myristate, 
Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Powder,
Maltodextrin, Cera Alba, Limonene, Retinyl Palmitate,
Disodium EDTA, Sodium Gluconate, Steric Acid, Triclocarban, 
Citrus Aurantifolia Oil, 
Lavandula Angustifolia Oil, Linalool, 
Cocus Nucifera Oil, Calendula Officinalis Extract, 
Citral, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, 
Geraniol, Tocopherol. Aloe Barbadensis Extract.
The Directions State:
Wash underarms and leave to dry. 
Spread trust underarm deodorant to the underarm area before bedtime.
The trust underarm deodorant is easy to access with a twist off blue cap that gives u instant access to the product. I did have a sniff of the product before applying and the scent smells of a non offensive citrus/lemon, great!
When you dip your finger into the pot, swirl your finger around and the white creamy product will then be on your finger, ready to apply to your underarms. 
I love how little of this product covered the underarm area and after application you really don't know the product is working its magic as the area feels comfortable with that slight scent. Even after application this will not stain clothes and can actually reduce offensive smells from your clothes efficiently. Trust underarm still protects you from odour after showering and swimming and
one jar of trust can last you up to or over 2 months, making this underarm product a cost effective product to use.
The travel friendly pot is easy to carry with you in your work or gym bag making this product a must have product, that actually works for odour free underarms!

Perspirex Comfort Antiperspirant

Perspirex unique patented formulations are clinically proven to stop sweat and odour for 3 to 5 days with one application providing an effective and lasting protection.
The unique Perspirex skincare systems minimise potential skin irritation and the Perspirex Comfort Cpx system provides extra good skin feel.
The how to use is different from your regular roll on as you apply this roll on to dry, unbroken skin and at night, bearing in mind this product is to stop sweating and odour.
The reason you apply these products at night is because the sweat glands are less active.
To use Perspirex you apply every night until you have achieved the desired effect, which stated in the leaflet, is achievable in one week. If you suffer with sensitive skin you can apply every other night.
Apply two strokes up and two strokes down on each armpit, this is all you need as using too much of the product may cause irritation.
Allow Perspirex to dry fully after application.
In the morning, wash off Perspirex with soap and water and u do not need to apply as the effects from using the product that night is still effective.
You can use your favourite scented roll on or deodorant for the day.
Make sure you read the leaflet provided before applying as there are some handy tips and cautions.
*The skin must be completely dry before applying.
*Never apply to damaged broken skin.
*Do not use after shaving, waxing or use of depilatories, wait 48 hours.
*Do not use on children, perspiration problems rarely occur before puberty.
*Avoid contact with eyes and other mucous membranes.
*In rare cases Perspirex may cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction, if this occurs, discontinue use.
*Perspirex may discolour and perish the fabrics you  wear on the night of application.
*Avoid contact with jewellery and metal surfaces.
*Remember to tighten lid after use to avoid leakage.
*Store at room temperature.
The ingredients are:
Alcohol Denat., Aluminum Chloride, Calcium Lactate,
Hydroxypropylcellulose, Hydrogenated Castor Oil.
When i applied the Perspirex Comfort Antiperspirant i noticed there was a medicated alcohol smell that soon went when the product dried. It did dry in under two minutes, which is great for when your using it just before bedtime, for it to dry.
I have been using the roll on every night, which i found delivers just the right amount you need to cover each armpit area. I noticed results within three days and found my underarm area was dry through exercise and other factors like the warm weather.
I can see how this product would help if you suffer with sweaty and odour armpits as the results are great and this product gives you long lasting protection.

AP-24 Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste

In a world where your smile says it all and is the first thing that people notice about you, your wanting to make sure your smile is at its best.
A healthy smile with gleaming teeth can do wonders for your confidence and help you smile even more.
The AP-24 Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste not only fights plague and helps to prevent cavities but also helps to brighten and whiten your smile.
Some toothpastes contain a percentage of peroxide to help whiten teeth but that is not so great if you suffer with sensitive teeth as those formulas will leave you in agony and wishing you never used it on your teeth. Some other formulas contain tiny sand particles that if you brush too hard and don't have a particular good brushing technique can be really abrasive on your teeth wearing the enamel down.
Always ask your dentist on what brands to use as they will know your brushing technique from looking at your teeth.
The AP-24 Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste features a special formula that contains NO HARMFUL PEROXIDES which is great for the sensitive teeth people and also contains Sodium Monofluorophosphate which is a source of fluoride.
AP-24 stands for anti-plaque for 24 hours and the key ingredients are:
*Proprietary blend of hydrated silica and alumina (aluminum oxide) - a unique combination of mild abrasives that polishes and smoothes teeth without eroding enamel.
*AP-24 a patented plaque-fighting agent of medical-grade dimethicone and surfacants. AP-24 is a long chain that can wrap around teeth and hold tightly to leave your mouth feeling slicker and fresher longer.
*Sodium monofluorophosphate-approved form of flouride that can be used to fight cavities.
Usage:
Adults and children six years of age and older: Brush teeth thoroughly, brush after each meal or at least twice a day. Supervise children as necessary until capable of using without supervision. Children under two consult a dentist or physician.
Warning: Keep out of reach of children under six years old.
Clinical Test:
A stain reduction test was performed to determine the percent increase in tooth brightness. The whitening effects were measured brushing with toothpaste. AP-24 whitening fluoride toothpaste resulted in a 63% increase in tooth brightness.
The toothpaste is of white colour and feels really smooth around your mouth and teeth. The minty smell and sensation isn't too strong but enough for you to notice and freshen your breath. The whitening aspect of this toothpaste you will see when you are a regular user, DON'T expect the Hollywood white, just from one use. What i do love is how my teeth and whole mouth felt clean throughout the day and with regular use, your start to see results!
