If you’ve just run out of basic personal care products and you’re getting ready for doing some shopping, you will find this post useful. This time I’m going to give you my latest discoveries, which are a few incredible effective beauty products that – I think – are pretending to win the title of my personal cosmetic of the year. No weird substances but only essential personal care products that are effective as hell!
1. SKIN CARE: Prestigious face cleansing oil by Yves Rocher, Riche Creme, Ultra-rich Cleansing Cream
Creamy face wash Riche Creme actually contains 30 oils. I fell in love with it from the first use. It’s gentle and at the same time rich and nourishing. It leaves my face skin perfectly clean, which makes me think that this product may be a serious competitor of oil cleansing method.
This skin care product is the best bet especially if the skin is demanding. What makes it so perfect? We all know that one of the most important stages of a skincare routine is proper cleansing. If your skin is sensitive and/or mature, you should remove makeup and wash the face using only gentle cosmetics. My skin used to feel tight, be sensitive and often irritated after every night beauty ritual. In the morning it used to shine uncontrollably because it wanted to ‘make up’ for the lost sebum layer that I had deprived it of the night before.
Luckily, this face cleansing oil by Yves Rocher is like hitting a jackpot – it fixed my skin quickly. Additionally, I really like the natural ingredients it contains. I’m sure that if it wasn’t for them, my skin would still be problematic. To clarify, Ultra-rich Cleansing Cream helped my skin restore its balance and at the same time frees it from makeup and excess sebum. What’s also worth mentioning, contrary to the majority of washing gels, Riche Creme by Yves Rocher doesn’t contain any lathering agents that are often responsible for causing irritations and dryness. Trust me, washing face with it brings relief to the skin.
2. SKIN CARE: Argan Oil by Nanoil (nighttime face and eye care)
Beauty oil by Nanoil, Argan Oil is one out of six incredible effective natural oils to treat face, body and hair. I use mine mainly as a night serum – I apply it to my entire face and massage delicately to improve blood circulation in skin and intensify all skin self-renewing processes. Actually, I also use Nanoil Argan Oil to carry out anti-cellulite massage and as a nail conditioner. I’m sure that it improves the appearance of hair as well, but since I’ve been using the ‘bigger’ version of Nanoil (dedicated to hair care; composed of 6 oils, keratin and herbs that improve hair growth) I don’t feel like using up Argan Oil to my strands. I just don’t want to ‘waste’ it on hair, especially when I see how beneficial it is for my body and face.
Argan Oil by Nanoil is certified for being organic, is cold-pressed and unrefined, which in my eyes it is a top quality product. Oh, you can also apply it morning if your skin is dehydrated. Basically, it’s a perfect cosmetic to take it with you on holiday because it saves you space in a vanity bag – it substitutes a few beauty products like a hand cream, body balm, hair conditioner and makeup remover.
3. HAIR CARE: Low ShamPoo, Delicate Cleansing Cream by Yves Rocher
Shampoo that actually takes the form of a cream – Low ShamPoo by Yves Rocher is a delicate way to get clean and lustrous hair. According to the producer, this is an eco product that should be recognized as an alternative to apple vinegar and baking powder. This new shampoo is enriched with hawthorn extract and agave fructans.
I like the idea of combining the cleansing qualities of shampoo and the hair conditioning power of a cream. The use is simple: apply a small portion of Low ShamPoo to hands and then distribute it on wet hair. Of course, don’t expect it to lather since this is a cream, not a shampoo. Use circular motions to massage the cosmetic into the scalp and hair. Results? Cleansed, soft and nice to the touch hair that shines and is bouncy.
4. HAIR CARE: Nourishing Day Cream, Dry Hair by Yves Rocher
Nourishing Day Cream is a 24H nourishment for my dry and frizzy hair. This cosmetic contains precious avocado oil and agave fructans. As the producer puts it, this hair care product “gives your hair the essential nutrients it needs to restablish its lipid balance and maintain it for 24 hours.” Well, I’ve tested this and I have to admit that after just a few applications of Nourishing Day Cream – that doesn’t weigh down hair even if you leave it on hair – my strands are now resilient and smooth.
Again, despite being fairly thick, this product doesn’t make my hair flat. I can just use it freely on my hair by distributing it from the roots to the ends. You can use it either to wet or dry hair. To me, this is a kind of revolution in hair care, especially during winter when we expose the hair to dry air.
