Rescue & Treat For Healthy Hair From My.Haircare™

Rescue and Treat the hair with natural ingredients from the easy-to use products from the My.Haircare™ range. Colouring and heat styling can leave your hair feeling brittle and dry whilst using the wrong products for your hair texture can leave it looking dull and flat. I have previously used the purple shampoo from My.Haircare™ and was pleasantly surprised on how great that product performed but what was my experience using the two products in this blog post and did they give me healthier hair? Disclaimer: The links in blue are not affiliated and are only used for you to discover the products, whilst my hair is coloured and i seek products to hydrate and improve condition.

Shampoo bars have become popular since they have launched because not only are they environmentally better by cutting out the plastic packaging, they are also perfect to travel with and use at festivals or the gym. The Rescue My. Hair™ Hydrate Shampoo Bar features 0% sulphates and silicone's but is still able to effectively cleanse the hair from pollutants whilst aiding in hydrating thirsty and dry locks. Featuring Aloe Vera, Prickly Pear, and Carob Seed Extract, your wellbeing is also influenced by the sublime fragrance of Bergamot and Rose, each time the bar is used. Working the bar into a lather (it lathers from the mild surfactant Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate obtained from coconut oil) work the lather into wet hair and the scalp for even distribution, before rinsing. I was surprised on how little i needed on application and after rinsing my hair it didn't feel stripped of its moisture because of the gentle neutral PH 5.5 of the shampoo bar, but perfectly clean and balanced! The 100% vegan shampoo bar can be placed back into its reusable box ready to be used when your hair needs a hydration boost, you can even use the bar on your body! Buy It Now!

Applying a conditioner to the hair after shampooing is essential to reduce friction and damage whilst also helping the hair retain moisture. All conditioners help smooth the cuticle down on each hair strand to seal in nutrients and boost shine because the hair strand is helped to lay flat. The infuse My. colour™ Treat Conditioner provides weightless hydration, nourishment, and colour protection because of its enriched formulation. The silicone free conditioner features Neroli Extract, Tangerine Butter, and Sunflower Seed Extract that all play their own key role to detangle, boost elasticity, and provide a healthier shine to the hair. Squeezing out the excess water from the hair after shampooing, i immediately noticed how quickly the conditioner absorbs into the hair on application. Leaving for 2-3 minutes for it to fulfil its maximum benefit, i knew straightaway from the first rinse this had delivered its promises when my hair was transformed to feel smooth and looked healthier when dried. The 100% vegan conditioner is the perfect addition to anyone's hair care routine whilst being suitable for colour-treated hair that is in need of a beneficial treat! Buy It Now! x Neil.

The Foundation With Skincare Benefits.

Long gone are foundations that just cover up imperfections because people are wanting multitasking products that they can apply quickly to offer more than just one benefit. Foundation formulations now offer more than just colour pigments to match your skin tone, they feature antioxidants and humectants (just to name a few) for easy skincare benefits with just one application. The Emani HydraWear 12hr Liquid Foundation is the prime example of this by using only all-natural ingredients to benefit problematic, sensitive, acne-prone, and ageing skin. Disclaimer: The links used are not affiliated and are only used for you to discover the product.

The Emani liquid foundation is presented in a grooved bottle design with a pump applicator to dispense the desired amount you wish to use whilst also having a 24 month expiry date after opening. Shaking the bottle before application will ensure the formulation of the product will have the desired effect when dispensed and you will experience the maximum benefits. Emani does have two skincare meets makeup primers that i have previously blogged about and if you wish to read more about these, the links are Emani Miracle 7 In 1 Primer Serum and the Emani Perfect 10 Primer Serum that u can apply before any makeup application. The vegan friendly and gluten free foundation features a host of beneficial ingredients and these are as follows:
Aqua, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil. Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Octyldodecanol, Ethylhexyl Olivate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Steareth-20, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil,

Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Mica, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Sodium Hyaluronate,

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Helianthus Annuus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract. Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract,

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil. Cymbopogon Flexuosus (Lemongrass) Oil. Tocopherol,

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Acetate. Sodium Hydroxide. Lecithin, Squalane, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin. 

May Contain: Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)

Applying to the face after your sunscreen or the product after this which would be your primer, you want to apply a few dots in the centre of your face and blend out evenly using your fingers, beauty blender, or a brush. The foundation does present itself as thick in texture but does glide over the skin easily when buffing and blending out to dry-down quite quickly. I was surprised on how lightweight it feels on the skin whilst providing a light-to-medium buildable coverage with a dewy finish that hydrates throughout its wear. Creating a moisture barrier on the skin it helps to shield from any pollutants and free radicals that can lead to damage and is the perfect foundation with skincare benefits for dry, mature, and even sensitive skin types! Available in 7 shades, i am using 212 Fairly Light which colour matches any porcelain skin tone quite well for a natural looking coverage with a healthier glow.

Lip balms are great to protect the lips from external exposures such as dry air, cold temperatures, and any factors that draw moisture away from them causing a drying effect. Seeking a lip balm with lip-friendly natural ingredients is essentially important because some lip balm products can only provide a short-term fix. You will find yourself in a repetitive cycle of reapplying your lip balm, without replenishing the moisture loss and no long-term protection because of the synthetic and chemical ingredients that may be in your lip product. The madara hemp hemp lip balm features olive oil, shea butter, and hemp oil that all provide hydration, conditioning, and protection for extreme comfort when applied. The tube and lip applicator provides the desired amount u wish to apply whilst the lips feel smooth and nourished, without any overly greasy or oily residue detected. Buy It Now.
