Product review: Muscle lotion

Issue date: 9/6/07 Section: Arts
You have two options: Commit yourself to an insane asylum or pamper yourself a little. After all, beginning a semester-long stretch of studying is not for the faint of heart.
And just in time, The Collegian reviewed two exam-worthy body products sure to restore your sanity and your beauty.
The first, Ole Hendriksen's Muscle Comfort Lotion, relaxes muscles tense from crouching over text books.
It's like a nicer version of Icy-Hot.
Expect it to cool you down and relieve your muscle fatigue.
Seconds after spreading it on your skin, it becomes icy enough to leave your muscles tingly and soothed.
The only qualm with this product is its
smell. It aspires to be peppermint, but really, it smells a bit like Vick's VapoRub.
Despite the slight smell problem, Muscle Comfort Lotion is effective in untangling knotted muscles.
You can buy it off Sephora.com for $28.
But tight muscles aren't the only ailment caused by too much schoolwork.
After all-night study sessions, you're sure to have dark circles that look like black eyes.
To remedy this, try Bremenn Research Lab's Hylexin, a cream that reduces under-eye dark circles.
This product works over time, so plan to use it for more than a month. You apply the cream twice a day. Consistent use fades under-eye circles.
To succeed with this product, you must commit to use it every day.
In a few weeks, eyes appear less puffy. Wait longer, and your dark circles will begin to fade.
Hylexin is also available at Sephora.com for $95.
