I changed my henna hair coloring routine this year and started using amla as the acid, and it is working out amazingly. I had tried amla in the past, and at that time my hair thought it was an insult. Then I read that something about amla really lifts the hair keratin, and it is necessary to really to a post-application oil treatment (I use coconut oil) to get the keratin to settle back down. Doing it this way has been a game-changer for my curly hair. Quote:
When I started using Alaffia hair and skin care products, I was able to reduce that load significantly, but alas, this year, Alaffia sort of let me down for the first time. I had started using their Everyday night cream as a facial moisturizer (along with a hydrating spray they make) and it worked ok for summer, but when fall/winter comes along, I need something more moisturizing/heavier. Also even in the spring I had some flaking with the the Everyday night cream. In the past I had used Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Cream in the winter as a moisturizer, but didn't want to shell out the money this year, so I started using some squalene I had lying around from a previous skin care experiment from years ago and find it works great for most days in the winter. (Remarkably, it was still good, but probably because olive oil squalene is extremely refined.) Days like today with highs in the teens/20s I need a little more and added this Arbordoun's cream I usually only use when I get waxing/threading on my face, and its working out fine. |

I have combination (with some really oily spots), acne prone skin and this cheap, no thrills moisturizer is my HG. Doesn't break me out, doesn't make my face an oil slick. I do wish it had some antioxidants or something added to it, but maybe it's the bare bones nature of it that makes it right for my skin. Since you like this moisturizer so much, you've made me curious about the Oil of Olay one that you mentioned. Do you find that one more moisturizing or that it leaves your face feeling more oily? That's my main problem with moisturizers and I get the oil slick look. If it's about the same as the Eucerin, I might give this a try. Thanks! |
