RACINE, Wis., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- With school back in session, teens across the country want to look their personal best. Skintimate(R), the leader in women's shave gel, recognizes the importance of providing teen girls with confidence in their appearance and recently joined forces with Whitney Port, television personality from hit series on cable TV and up-and-coming Los Angeles fashion designer, to launch the microsite http://www.skintimatetips.com/, which serves as a resource for everyday beauty and shaving advice.

Through the combined efforts of Skintimate and Port's star power, teens now have access to the best daily beauty tips available. Skintimatetips.com showcases Port's personal beauty advice for teen girls and first-time shavers as well as beauty and shaving tips from Skintimate.

A recent survey conducted by Skintimate and Ipsos, amongst girls ages 13-17, revealed that beauty and shaving plays an integral part of a teen girl's life.(1)

-- 54% of teens start to shave between 12-13 years old
-- 24% of teen girls have between 10-15 products in their vanity
-- 84% of teen girls usually turn to their moms for guidance when it's
time to start shaving

"My experience working in the fashion and beauty industry has provided with me a lot of knowledge and tips that I'm excited to share with fans on Skintimatetips.com," said Port. "My tips on the microsite will give teens the advice they need to always look and feel great, no matter what the occasion."

A few of Port's shaving and beauty tips featured on Skintimatetips.com include:

-- When shaving, I never use soap or water. With soap I don't really get
     a close shave and end up having to shave more often. Soap can also
     dry out your skin and cause gross razor burn. Choose a shave gel
     instead. My favorite shave gel is Skintimate(R) Signature Scents in
     Flirty Mango(TM).

-- When I'm in a rush and need to shave my legs outside the shower, I
     soak a washcloth in warm water and wrap it around my legs for a few
     minutes. Warm water will soften hair and make it easier to shave. And
     remember, always use a generous amount of shave gel and a sharp razor.

-- When looking for the perfect shade of eye shadow, find shades that
     complement your eye color. For blue eyes try gray, purple and deep
     blues. For green or hazel eyes go with brown, violet or forest green.
     A shade similar to your eye enhances the color.

In addition to providing another outlet for teens to turn to for advice and information on beauty and shaving, Skintimatetips.com also features a "Win a Phone Conversation with Whitney" contest, where fans, ages 13 and older, can enter to win a 10 minute phone conversation with Whitney to pick her brain on her personal style and beauty regime. The winner will also receive a Skintimate gift basket to obtain smooth, soft legs like Whitney's. Through the microsite, fans will also be able to email their friends Whitney's tips, sign up for cool stuff from Skintimate and learn about Skintimate's product line.

"SkintimateTips.com not only provides teens with everyday shaving and beauty tips, from a celebrity girls admire, but also helps them become comfortable and confident in their own skin," said Lewis Lau, associate brand manager, S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. "With girls starting to shave at a young age and the constant desire to look their best and exude confidence, we wanted to develop a one-stop resource for teens to find great advice."

In August 2008, Port launched her first-ever women's clothing line, Whitney Eve. Port's new line features feminine dresses, tops, skirts, sweaters and jackets.
