No guys – TrendEngel does not try to jump on the bandwagon of Fifty Shades of Grey. But still – it is time to get a little bit kinky. We are talking about an old Japanese tradition going back 5000 years and is now rediscovered by the cool new Swiss company Nuru. The oils and gels are all made in Germany and only include good stuff. Nori seaweed and aloe vera are the key ingrediences and make for a perfect sensual massage.
An nice side effect of the gels and oils: they keep your skin smooth. So boys and girls: Sounds a bit strange to you? It shouldn’t. Just try it and you realize why more and more people are having fun with nuru and the nori seaweed. Buy it at www.nurushop.com or go to www.nurugel.ch.
