Whiten up

May 14, 2010

So I’m heading today to Napa, California, for a few days. It’s for work, so I haven’t set the itinerary but I think it’s safe to assume a few glasses of red wine just might be consumed (you can’t go to Napa and not enjoy some vino)…red wine that may very well stain my pearly whites.

So what better time to test out Pure Smile‘s portable teeth whitening pen ($50). I’m not completely sold on the idea of whitening on the go (I think I’d prefer to complete this task in the privacy of my own home rather than out in public so a portable pen that you can apply in 60 seconds isn’t so much of a draw for me) but I’ll give it a shot.

How to use it? You paint on the product (which is composed of 30-percent carbamide peroxide, all-natural, kosher glycerin and xylitol), leave it on for one minute and then rinse with water.

According to Vancouver-based Pure Smile, using the product twice a day for two weeks is enough to see results–check back in 14 days for my review.
