The Uriage Thermal Water and Roséliane Cleansing Lotion  

The essential step before any treatment is a good makeup removal and cleaning. It is really important to do it properly. For several months I use the Roséliane Cleasing Lotion of Uriage. Ultra soft texture, a real treat!

This fresh solution, both creamy and aqueous formulated for very sensitive skin, suits me perfectly. My skin is particularly reactive during the winter. I apply it with fingertips (previously washed) by small circles on the face and neck. Its smell is pleasant and unobtrusive. 

Then I remove everything with a drained cotton (after having it wet in hot water). As a tonic, I complete this first step with the Thermal Water spray full in minerals and trace elements that hydrate and really soothes my skin.

Sometimes when I need an intense hydration, I leave the AcquaPRECIS Moisturizing Express Mask of Uriage all night,. The texture is a bit sticky, but next morning the features are smoothed and the skin is plumped ….

The Isofill Regiment

I have a combination skin which is drier than oily in winter. And during the colder months, I prefer adding to serum a rich anti-aging cream. I need to feel that my skin is really fed. So I tested the anti-wrinkle Isofill regiment of Uriage for more than two months.

First I applied the Isofill Sérum, Wrinkle Focus Intensive Serum (picture 1): very fluid texture. I think it is a great hydration boost when it’s used with the Isofill Rich Cream with Shea butter (Isofill Crème Riche, picture 2). This duo offers an incredible comfort to the skin and a beautiful shine, but no visible effect on my wrinkles.

My favorite product is the Isofill Eye Contour Care: excellent (Isofill Contour des Yeux, picture 3) to moisturize without irritating the fragile area around the eyes. I put very little and it melts into the skin and lasts long. I also love the fresh scent (same as the Roséliane Cleansing Lotion’s one).

Isofill is a very good line to deeply nourish the skin and believe me I am very demanding when it comes to choose my cosmetics. As the textures are very fluid and quickly absorbed through the skin, maybe I add this regiment to my beauty routines for combination skin, this summer too … Do feel free to give me your opinion.

Activilong Paris: I Tested The Actiliss Range

Activilong by Mademoiselle Le K

These Four Products Have Rescued My Hair!

I do not often straightens my hair (maximum 2 times a year) and without much enthusiasm, I’m not a fan of brushing. So I often find myself with two types of ultra dry hair. Over this time, a significant break on lengths and a real lack of drive to fix the problem! Yep it happens …

After visiting a thousand blogs and follow – I don’t know how many – vloggers, I decided to save my hair taking back my product testing! So I’ve tested four products of the Actiliss range of Activilong of Paris with Argan and Keratin ingredients for a month and a half. And I’m blown away by the results: half of breakage, more hydration, flexibility, softness, lightness and shine!

My two must have cares are the Smoothing Care Mask Actiliss and the Stop Break Pure Keratin System Actiliss. I really enjoy the creamy texture and delicious smell of the Smoothing Care Mask Actiliss that I use as no poo. I leave it a day or two before rinsing. It gives my hair an exceptionally soft and smooth texture from root to tip.

After the Smoothing Care Shampoo Actiliss (without sulfate and paraben) or on dry hair, I apply on my lengths the Stop Break Pure Keratin System Actiliss : a miracle care that moisturizes and nourishes. At first I found it a bit sticky. In fact my hair was so dehydrated and porous that I had to apply a lot (too much!). Very quickly, I used less product, cause I noticed my hair absorbed it better for a nice natural styling (no use of hair dryer, iron etc… ).

I ended quickly the Stop Break Pure Keratin System Actiliss that I also used as an oil bath to protect my hair from the sun and beach damages. This multi-care is pretty amazing! Currently for my daily detangling, I apply on the lengths the Heat Protection Smoothing Serium Actiliss. My hair is soft and smooth, but less well-fed than with the Stop Break Pure Keratin System Actiliss. In conclusion, excellent products to discover!

My Summer Beauty Routine: Shampoo and Hair Cream

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!
