As simple as one, two, THREE

Three may deemed the most powerful number, and with good reason. In Christianity it represents the Holy Trinity; in Buddhism the Tri-ratna; and in architecture, in the triangle, the most structurally sound form. It is the past, present, future; life, death and rebirth. The number three has strong foundations, cosmically and functionally.

The number three is also integral to shaving. Yeah, that’s right, that tedious morning ritual we often wish to forego. Since we’re only granted three wishes, so we might as well suck it up and perform with style.

A three-phase program has been introduced by Elemis in their Time For Men home grooming range. The line gives us spa-quality treatment in our own comfortable surroundings. The products aim to cleanse our face, enhance our shaving experience and protect the skin from the elements– feat easily accomplished thanks to Elemis’ style and quality.

Cleanse the skin with the Deep Cleanse Facial Wash to loosen and remove dirt with its combination of spearmint, peppermint and oak bark. The Energizing Skin Scrub, a bi-weekly formula, picks up where the Deep Cleanse Facial Wash leaves off, preventing in-grown hairs and guaranteeing a smooth, even surface. In combination, these two items provide that necessary preparation essential for shaving.

When shaving ““ phase two, in the triad process ““ Elemis provides Smooth Result Shave Oil. With jojoba, sweet almond, hazelnut and rosehips oil, you have a smooth gliding surface and a refreshing, understated scent. Follow that with the Ice-Cool Foaming Shave Gel to ensure a smooth, refreshing experience.

Finally, the S.O.S. Survival Cream, a daily skin moisturizer, protects the face from the unforgiving rigors of daily life. Thick cream locks in moisture and supplies an integral protective barrier.

Remember, all facets of sublime bliss begin with the number three. Incorporate that into to your everyday shaving ritual and you’ll be well on your way to nirvana. The Time For Men grooming range, by Elemis, can be found at www.nordstrombeauty.com and www.timetospa.com.
