Skin care regimen: Pai avocado and jojoba hydrating day cream




OMG! no make up!!
Some of you have been asking about my skin. I've had some lovely comments about it so thank you! And thank you mac! Lol
I have relatively clear skin I have the odd breakout when it's that time of the month. I always wear foundation ALWAYS! But you do need a good base to start with.



My skin care regimen is pretty basic
I wash my face with simple liquid soap and use toning facial wipes am and pm
To moisterise my skin I have started using pai's avocado and jojoba hydrating day cream avacodo oil is great for black skin. I put it on under my foundation so it's light but also very moisterising and thankfully it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. I'm getting more and more into natural products but some natural companies either aren't as natural or organic as they claim or the product is completely natural but doesn't work! Pai is certified organic so no nasties! Like alcohol or parabens.


"Avocado oil is excellent at hydrating skin and Jojoba helps to improve suppleness. Thistle oil reduces open pores and promotes skin absorption."







foundation: mac mineralize foundation (NW45) lipstick: mac (tanarama) blush: sleek (coral)

tried and tested : phillip kingsley Elasticizer extreme


hairband £3.00


Elasticizer Extreme
£25.00

since i've coloured my hair i have noticed that it has been looking quite dry and brittle, i've   been  using alot more oils in my hair to make up for the dryness. 
so i was thrilled to be sent Elasticizer Extreme from Phillip Kingsley

Elasticizer Extreme is aimed at people with very porous hair that is chemically processed or coloured. it's a pre-shampoo treatment


"Elasticizer should be applied in small sections to damp hair from mid lengths to ends. Leave for several minutes, or for full benefit, cover with a shower cap and leave for 20-30 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly and shampoo and condition as normal."

verdict

so far i've used it twice and i'm pretty happy with the results, combined with using the moisture extreme shampoo and conditioner i have noticed my hair is about 40% softer and i'm noticing much less breakage.
i've never treid a pre-shampoo treatment before and it felt like i was doing everything backwards! but the results speak for them selves so i'll be trying it again!

i think this product would be good for transitioners and it will nourish your newly natural hair and stop your relaxed ends breaking off.

again as a higher end product the Phillip Kingsley line is not cheap £25.00 150mls  but you can purchase a 500mls tub for £51.00 which is much better value for money (200mls free!!)
