Something New: What's New For Head to Toe?

Happy Saturday!  Ah, I recently enjoyed my "haul".  More products to try and test!  Let's start with

Tony Moly Ferment Snail Toner

 Php1,898.00 (approx $43.00)

This is a gold snail secretion filtrate ampoule toner specialized in skin recovery and care!  Okay, the mere fact of having anything "snail" is a bit new for me, I know it came out like a "craze" in Korea and everyone loves "snail" related skincare product!  I have to be honest with you, this is my first but I am actually looking forward to inject this on my normal skincare regimen!  This feels really nice on skin, gives instant moisture to my dry skin!

Just like most Asian Skincare products, I like to dispense a good amount on my hand and pat it on my face for better absorption. 

I Wonder: Do You Use Clarifying Shampoo?

I have always been in constant search for ways to have better looking hair!  As commercials would say, "A woman's hair is her crowning glory."  Believe it or not, it does make sense!  Have you tried going to work in a good mood because you have good hair day?  Don't you love it when someone mentions how nice your hair look today?

*nods*  *nods* 

One of the many not-so-secret secret in taking care of your hair is by using a Clarifying Shampoo at least once a week!  Do you really need it?

The answer varies, and... I DO!

I've once read an article on how clarifying shampoos are designed to remove hairstyling products residues from hair sprays, serums, gels, mousses even from your daily conditioner!  I used to think that statement is just meant for marketing tactic and we really do not need one.

Until one day, when I finally gave clarifying shampoo a try, it makes a huge difference!

Schwarzkopf Essensity Clarifying Shampoo 

is the first clarifying shampoo I've tried

(feel free to try out other brands)

A closer look on the ingredients

I read that clarifying shampoos that contains Lauryl Sulfate is actually a safe yet super effective ingredients to help deep-cleanse your hair.

What I have noticed when I incorporated Clarifying Shampoo in my hair care regimen ---

• Hair feels softer and lighter!
• Hair looks surprisingly healthier.
• My hair is easier to style and my weekly hair treatment works much better after using a clarifying shampoo.

What you should do to make clarifying shampoos work ---

• Use at least once every 2 weeks if you don't use a lot of hairstyling products. Use once a week if you use products like hair serums, heat protective sprays or serums, hair coloring products etc..
• Concentrate on the roots as this is where most of the natural oil exists.
• Apply more conditioner or hair treatment after using clarifying shampoo as they tend to strip off excess oil which may make normal and dry hair a bit drier than usual.
• It is best to use clarifying shampoos before you do any hair treatment like hair coloring or perming! 
• If you get itchy scalp or dandruff, STOP usage immediately!

 If you ask me, YES I think Clarifying shampoo is essential for me and I am enjoying the benefits of using one!

Now, I wonder:
"Do you use/need clarifying shampoo?"

Let me know which brand are you using and if it works for you!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

Askmewhats Reviews: Citre Shine Fresh Fusion Moisture Replenish Shampoo and Conditioner

I tried to love my Citre Shine Shampoo and Conditioner. I've given it a lot of chances to love, but it doesn't seem to love my hair :(

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• smells good
• hair definitely feels softer, not sure about the shine department
• affordable
• definitely light-weight

Cons

• gave me the dandruff :(
• gave me the itchy scalp!

Overall

I believe this is a good product for people with oily hair. This combination is called to be Moisturizing and Replenishing but it dries up my scalp and flakes starts to show *gasp* Not a good sight!!!


Tips

• test on any hair shampoo or conditioner for more than a week to see the results, as this work so well on me for the first week and after 2-3 weeks, I got the dandruff.
• buy smaller size tube to prevent wastage, I honestly haven't seen a smaller version of this! Let me know!

No
