I have used the product consistently for a week in the following ways:
1) I experience flashes during the day where it feels as if someone strikes a match under my chin and my whole neck and face gets hot! So, in the mornings, I started applying a generous amount of the product to my chest, neck and arms (not my face due to other products I use). This week of consistent use resulted in me either not having the flashes or if I did, they were not as intense as before! I may start using on my face, but I have to consult with my esthetician before I start.
2) During the night I find myself throwing my covers off because my body suddenly gets hot, and then I will end up putting them all back on because I get cold! ( I sleep with AC, and fan y'all) so, before bed I began applying the product to my entire body, arm, legs, chest, neck, stomach and everywhere else I can reach. This week due to the consistent use of the product, I have not experienced having to throw my covers off!! I do not skimp on the product, I apply it generously and rub it into my skin. It leaves the skin feeling really soft and smooth too!
I told Gloria that I really did not like the smell at first (it is not bad), I am just used to get the good smelling stuff from her shop. LOL! Once applied, you do not smell anything, especially after adding my perfume and other lotions. I will continue to use!
