30 Brands To Help Keep You Happy, Healthy And/Or Looking Great In June 2021 & Beyond

The summer of 2021 is almost here, but many of us still need to moisturize more beyond taking some extra steps to look and feel better overall. In turn, below are 30 recommendations for brands with new products on the market which can help make life more comfortable and/or health-oriented.

FEND

As backed by science, FEND is a new hygiene system that cleanses the upper respiratory airways, to strengthen the body’s natural ability to help keep the lungs cleaner and healthier. The FEND system includes a patented Mister device, that uses a proprietary calcium-enriched saline solution. The FEND Mister device then creates perfectly-sized particles that exit the device in a mist that is inhaled through your nose. When inhaled deeply, it helps your upper airways capture and eliminate airborne contaminants before they reach your lungs. In addition, FEND helps reduce the number of airborne contaminants you exhale back into the air.

FEND is drug-free, non-invasive, and safe to use as frequently as you need; the brand recommends using 3 times daily. Simply breathe in the FEND mist and seconds later you are “FENDed.” As an added bonus, it is very easy to travel with as based on the system’s compact sizing.
