JUST PEACHY!

I have to admit I was skeptical at first when my friend raved about how smooth her face was after shaving it for the first time, so I talked to my dermatologist and she confirmed that yes, there were indeed some benefits..make-up goes on smoother and of course shaving provides a gentle exfoliation if done…

“My Love”
