That\u2019s a massive saving of R456 per pack before the end of Jan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019ve used Sh\u2019Zen products for years. It started with my sister <a href=\"http:\/\/naomigelbskincareclinic.weebly.com\">Naomi Gelb<\/a> who has represented Sh\u2019Zen since Moses needed hand cream after 40 days and nights in the desert &#8211;\u00a0 a very long time ago. At the time I was spending fortunes on Dermalogica products and not that keen to try something new but with each celebration I received another Sh\u2019Zen product to the point today where I use Sh\u2019Zen and Environ exclusively.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Imagine how thrilled I am to get a stash of Sh\u2019Zen-sponsored products (thanks in part to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sleekgeek.co.za\">SleekGeek<\/a> Eric Chowles for bringing his mom Heather who works with Sh\u2019Zen and knows Naomi) to hear my Upgrade Your Life talk about my successful weight loss. Anyhoo, in exchange for a blog post and Facebook mention I\u2019ll get a stash from them every month (providing, I guess, you let them know you love them too.)<\/p>\n<p>I chose the New Year Detox package of Pamplemousse Cleansing Gel (smells divine) and can be used in the shower every morning to help tone and purify skin, the Skin Stimulator (think sponge and loofa on steroids) which exfoliates, improves circulation to give you a toned, firmer shape, a Contour Gel to help improve the excess skin under my arms and upper legs which also eliminates excess fluids and strengthens connective tissue to leave skin looking firmer and smoother as well as a Digestive Aid Massage Oil\u00a0 which helps detoxing. (I\u2019ve used the Black Pepper After Sports oil for years and swear by it!) The package also comes with Detox bath crystals but as I only shower I swapped it for shower gel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brianberkman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_4516.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-759\" alt=\"IMG_4516\" src=\"http:\/\/brianberkman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_4516-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/brianberkman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_4517.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-760\" alt=\"IMG_4517\" src=\"http:\/\/brianberkman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_4517-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>If you see me looking more spiffy than usual and smelling dreamy you\u2019ll know why.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to buy Sh\u2019Zen please do so from my darling sister Naomi, also available on <a href=\"mailto:gelbie@iafrica.com\">gelbie@iafrica.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve used Sh\u2019Zen products for years.
