My Summer Beauty Routine: Three Body Oils

Posted on August 13, 2012 | Leave a comment

I love body oils! 

Here are the oils of my summer : Huile extraordinaire Nutriextra (the Nutriextra Extraordinary Oil) of Vichy (1) and Huile Divine (Divine Oil) de Caudalie (3). The Nutriextra Extraordinary Oil of Vichy really nourishes my sensitive skin very dry, a real challenge! This dry oil is composed of nine vegetable oils: muscat rose, jojoba, apricot almond, macadamia, passionflower, blackcurrant seed, rice bran, sunflower and coriander. Silicone-free and hypoallergenic! I enjoyed its non-greasy texture, very pleasant to apply to damp skin, leaving the skin a light satin veil. I finished the 125 ml spray, in a month of daily use!

And it will be the same for Divine Oil of Caudalie (100 ml spray) : I’m crazy of the irresistible fragrance with floral and woody notes. To feel bellissima, a sensual dry oil a bit sophisticated in a glass bottle. The dry oil is made of oils of grape, hibiscus, sesame and argan and antioxidant polyphenols patented by Caudalie. The plus: free of preservatives and silicones and not tested on animals. And finally, an oil which I already told you about in April: the Sublime Oil of Roger & Gallet (3) that I use as an as a perfume. Because less nourishing and moisturizing than the other two oils. But the scent cute! By the way: for very dry hair, prefer the old good Tahiti Monoi, smelling the beach and holidays…

Ma routine beauté de l’été: les huiles pour le corps

Posted on August 13, 2012 | Leave a comment

Les huiles, ma grande passion!

Voici celles pour le corps dont je suis fane cet été : l’Huile extraordinaire Nutriextra de Vichy (1) et l’Huile Divine de Caudalie (3). L’huile extraordinaire Nutriextra de Vichy nourrit vraiment ma peau très sèche et sensible, un exploi! Cette huile sèche est composée de 9 huiles végétales :  huiles de rosier muscat, jojoba, d’amande d’abricot, de macadamia, de passiflore, de pépin de cassis, de son de riz, de tournesol et de coriandre. Sans silicone et hypoallergénique! J’ai beaucoup aimé sa texture non grasse, très agréable à appliquer sur peau humide qui laisse sur la peau un léger voile satiné. J’ai fini le vaporisateur de 125 ml, en un mois d’usage quotidien! 

Et ça va être pareil pour l’Huile Divine de Caudalie (100 ml) à l’irrésistible parfum aux notes florales et boisées. Pour se sentir bellissima, une huile sèche sensuelle et gourmande, un rien sophistiquée dans son flacon en verre, composée d’huiles de raisin, d’hibiscus, de sésame et d’argan et des Polyphénols anti-oxydants brevetés par Caudalie. Ses petits plus : sans conservateur, sans silicones et non testé sur les animaux. Et pour finir, une huile dont je vous avais déjà parlé en avril : l’Huile sublime de Roger & Gallet (3) que j’utilise surtout comme huile-parfum en finish, car moins nourrissante et hydratante que les deux autres. Mais au parfum craquant! Une dernière petite chose : pour les cheveux très secs, préférez le bon vieux Monoï de Tahiti qui sent bon la plage et les vacances…

My Summer Beauty Routine: Shampoo and Hair Cream

Posted on August 1, 2012 | Leave a comment

My hair is “a poem” (French way to say: “hard work”)!

So no holiday for my very dry curly hair that requires constant care. The mix of sun-sea-sweat-oil and too-frequent shampoo, makes it brittle and dry up. Paradoxically it is the only “blessed” time of the year, I can let my hair “curls in the wind” (lol!). A real break for my scalp and my lengths. Except for the hair ends that tangle and are nodes. But I decided to simplify my summer hair routine.

1. For the shampoo : Karité intense nourishing shampoo (with shea butter) of René Furterer for extra dry hair and/or ethnic hair (1). Nice to apply and once the hair rinsed, it does not have this unbearable texture of wet straw! I also like the size of the package that I can easily take a trip.

2. On towel-dried hair, I apply a generous amount of Karité intense nourishing conditioning cream (with shea butter) of Rene Furterer (2). And I leave as much time I acn under a hot damp towel. If I go to the beach every day, at night I perfectly rinse my hair  with hot water (no shampoo) and finish by cold water to make it shine. I try to leave a few days between each shampoo.

3. I apply on damp hair a nourishing oil like the Monoi or the Huile de Palme (Palm Oil) of Leonor Greyl,  or my favourite Moisturizing Styling Ceam, with Quinoa oil of PhytoSpecific of (3). Sometimes I do not apply anything to let my hair breathe. And in the morning, I sheath again oil strand by strand, to prevent damage from salt, sand and sun. And then I forget my hair during the all day (lol!), basta cosi! If you have any suggestions or your special way to treat a very dry or Ethnic hair, please leave a comment or sent me an e-mail, I am always curious to discover a fantastic product!
