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
