With the Yves Rocher Radiance Rinsing Vinegar and Low ShamPoo you might change the way you wash your hair

May 6, 2016 Paris B 6 Comments

I’m not very fussy about what I put on my hair, to be honest. I never have been. Yes, I like my luxury Kerastase and Sachajuan products, but I’m just as happy with something affordable like Pantene. I wash my hair daily, and I keep it short, so really, nothing fazes me, nor my hair LOL!

But one day, I received a package that promised me that the contents would change the way I wash my hair. Now, this is really how marketing should be done – it intrigued me and made me want to rip it open to see what was inside!

What was inside, were 2 very interesting items from affordable French brand, Yves Rocher. They were the Low ShamPoo Delicate Cleansing Cream and the Radiance Rinsing Vinegar. I’d heard of neither before this so naturally, I was quite intrigued!

Yves Rocher is a very affordable French brand of personal beauty products that I feel is quite underrated. So underrated that even I tend to overlook them! The primary reason is because locally, the brand isn’t very obvious. It isn’t sold in pharmacies and their counters and stores are a little obscure. Pity, because they sell good stuff – I just have to remember to look for them! I did just learn that they’re now available online, so perhaps I shall be paying them a little more attention! I love how quickly online shopping is picking up here – I can be a hermit now and just have everything delivered! LOL! 😀

But even hermits must wash their hair (or maybe not!) so onto these 2 interesting products 😀

Cleansing and Calming My Skin With Cleansing Cream/Milk – A recent discovery

February 28, 2013 Paris B 64 Comments

I seem to be on a bit of a skincare revamp in recent times. My skin decided to throw a major hissy fit in January where everything I used to do and use (I didn’t change any part of my regular skincare routine) no longer worked and I was breaking out like I was a teen again, yet experiencing serious dry skin. I knew I had to do something. I told you earlier about my toner + cotton pad rediscovery that helped me. Now, here’s something else I changed. I haven’t been using cleansing oils for over a month.

Not using cleansing oils to remove my makeup and as part of a double cleansing routine is something really big for me. I’m such a cleansing oil evangelist and I’ve used so many. It has been such a part of my skincare routine for so many years that it was almost impossible for me to just abandon it. But I did. Instead, I turned to using cream/milk cleansers.

As luck would have it, I didn’t own any, except 2. The last time I used a cream cleanser, it was the Neutrogena one. Worked a treat but I didn’t replenish because… you guessed it; I went back to my oil cleansers. However, after rooting around, I discovered 2 – Swissline Water Shock Comforting Emulsion Cleanser and Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Hydrating Cleansing Milk.

I have been using them both this past month and I have to say that its different. My skin actually stopped feeling so dry and tight and it really seemed to help my skin feel more comfortable. Naturally, its also made me curious about trying other cream or milk cleansers 😀 Do you use any? Interestingly enough, both the cream/milk cleansers I’ve been using come in 2 different price categories 🙂

Save and Splurge: The Hydration/Moisture Boost Serum/Essence/Concentrate Edition

I thought it was opportune for me to share this Save and Splurge edition for hydration serums because hydration is a big thing for me. I’d much rather use a product for hydrating skin than one to treat my dark spots. I know, weird little me hehe… but I personally have found that all skin problems are minimized when you have nicely hydrated skin. So with that in mind, here are 2 hydration serums I tried recently that I liked.

They both aren’t terribly pricey but one is pricier than the other after doing the math, and I also found that on doing a back-to-back experiment, one works better for me than the other. The question is… which is which? 😀

I helped my dry, dull skin with a healthy dose of Yves Rocher Hydra Végétal Moisture Boost Concentrate and Gel Cream

Sometimes, I am surprised at just how impressively effective some skincare is. And then I take a look at the diminutive price tag and I’m surprised once again! A little while ago, I introduced you to the newly launched Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal skincare range. There is a whole range of products from cleansing all the way to serum and moisturiser, and I’ve already told you that the face wash is a very good budget buy. But I wanted to focus on the 2 items in the range that I particularly like, that worked for me and which I’m on the way to finishing up. Yes, you read that right – gasp! I know 😛

These two items are the Hydra Vegetal Moisture Boost Concentrate and Hydra Vegetal 24H Intense Hydrating Gel Cream. As you can see, I’m about halfway through them both and its been about 1.5 months of use so far.

I started using these because my skin was giving me grief despite all my ministrations and feeling and looking very dull and dry. Truth be told, I wasn’t terribly sold on the brand because I’d never used them before and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Its helpful therefore to have a trusted view from this review from Tracy who raved about this range helping her skin all the way in the Great White North. So hey, I had to see how it fares here in the hot humid Tropics!

Incidentally, very well. Without mincing words, just a few days of use helped my skin rebalance itself and rehydrate and I was sold. Have you come across this range yet?
