Gel Pack (Perception) Newbie Questions
Hi,
First of all, I've searched both the forums and the FAQs, etc., but could not find the
answers.
Anyway, I'm a complete newbie. Just ordered Perception gel packs (which also came with
TE freebie gel pack).
Now this may sound like a completely stupid question, but how does one
exactly rub in the gel and how does one make sure to use only half the pack per application?
My
plan:
-- Given that it's a cold winter and I'll be wearing a scarf, a coat and probably gloves, I plan to
apply to the jaw/below ear/near neck area on both sides. Have people ever tried applying to either the chin, below
the chin or the forehead?
-- Would you recommend washing the area first? First of all, I intend to apply the
gel in the evening, so would washing with a fragrant shower gel in the morning be of any help/hurt/no difference --
what about Armani Code shower gel?
-- I plan to briefly wash/lightly dab the areas with water, dry
with towel and then apply a cologne (thinking of starting off with Acqua di Gio, or maybe an Acqua di
Gio knockoff).
-- Should I wait some amount of time before applying the gel after the cologne -- I
believe I have read here some recommending to wait until the alcohol dries -- how long does that usually
take?
-- Then, I plan to apply the gel -- the big question is how? I don't mean to sound stupid, but
exactly how do I apply -- squeeze some of the gel out on my finger and rub in a circular/back and forth fashion in
the target spot? For how long should I rub? How do I know whether I'm using half the pack or more or less? Can I
just put the remaining pack in a drawer without attempting to close the pack in any way (I'm afraid if I'll close
it, I'll accidentally squeeze out more). Also, when I'm done, do I need to wash my hands -- can I try to rub
whatever remains on my fingers into my hair (and if so, should I have sprayed my hair with cologne first)?
--
What if I use half the pack and feel it's not enough -- is it okay to use more -- what are the dangers of using
more? Supposedly, I won't OD since this is Perception. Is the only danger possible bad smell, and if so,
can I just use an extra spray of cologne?
-- Also, since I also got TE gel pack too, do you recommend
mixing with Perception? If so, in what proportion and what should the total amount of gel be?
--
Lastly, how come Perception (unlike TE for example) doesn't list their ingredients? Does anyone know
what they are? Does BDC Concepts (or other manufactures) have a web site?
Thank you
very much from an eager newbie
