Suffering with dry, damaged hair can be caused by many factors such as coloring, heat styling or using the wrong products for your hair type. Using hair products containing lauryl sulfate, that help the product lather up, can irritate a scalp and dry your hair out of its essential moisture because of it being a detergent. Seeking products that are moisturising and deep conditioning whilst not containing parabens, lauryl or lauryl sulfate, dyes or PEGs will help you get back on track to your healthier hair journey.
Giovanni's pioneering formulae includes vitamins, herbs, minerals, proteins and nutrients that ensure your hair looks and feels its best, without containing any nasty chemicals or additives.

The Giovanni 2Chic repairing shampoo cleanses hair gently, thanks to its rich milky consistency.
My hair felt transformed throughout the rinse off stage, feeling soft and smooth and not stripped of its essential moisture. The shampoo does have a sweet coconut scent that adds an enjoyable experience when washing your hair.

Directions: Apply the yverum lip care on your lips as needed. The lip balm packaging is bag friendly and helps keep the product safe inside.

The lip balm glides over your lips and instantly moisturises and protects (great for winter) making them feel comfortable and hydrated without them feeling greasy or sticky.

The yverum - naturally yours eye and lip care set is a great eye and lip combo to incorporate into your skincare regime, plus it saves you time using two different products. X Neil.
