Every woman has one, but no one really talks about it. If even Miranda in Sex and the City was too embarrassed to discuss her ”you know what” situation with her girlfriends, you know how mortifying a topic the “V” area can be. We don’t even have a sophisticated word for it (we might call it the bikini area, down there, and other crazy names) and this lack inspired Avonda Nelson Urben when creating her brand. The Perfect V™ is a luxurious and effective skincare product line – made with Scandinavian-sourced ingredients and infused with vitamins with anti-ageing properties – dedicated to the special needs of the V area.
Avonda has spent her career as a marketing executive for several beauty and fashion companies. Six years ago, a job opportunity led her and her family away from the hustle and bustle of New York to experience Nordic life. Avonda became friends with many Scandinavian women and she grew to admire them for many reasons – one of which was their cool confidence about their bodies. The Perfect V™ was both inspired by and embraces the Scandinavian woman’s lifestyle. Scandinavian women feel more comfortable, carefree and confident in their skin, and are often happy to be nude in public whatever their age or shape. They are at ease with themselves – a very alluring trait. It’s in their DNA, integral to the Scandinavian love of all things natural and simple, and it makes for a more liberated and beautiful lifestyle.
THE PRODUCTS
It’s summertime and we all know the struggle: women across the world are removing hair by waxing, layering, shaving, sugaring, using depilatories and/or just trimming – all the various types of grooming. But when it comes to V care, the range of products in the market is very limited and it’s almost a taboo to talk about. This area was being neglected by beauty and personal care companies, hence the creation of The Perfect V™ product line, there to fill the void.
This beautifully packaged VANICURE™ collection of gentle and effective beauty creams, exfoliators, firming serums, freshening sheets and so on are for use at any time or après hair removal – and always for beauty’s sake. They are pure, indulgent pampering and a reflection of love for your “V”. They are multi-tasking luxury skincare formulated to rejuvenate, enhance and beautify the “V”. They are pH-balanced, dermatologist and gynaecologist tested – clean and free of parabens – to make the V area look as beautiful as the rest of a woman’s body.
