Product Review—Hair: Phyto Secret de Nuit Intense Hydration Regenerating Night Cream

I have never used Phyto products before, when I received the Phyto Secret De Nuit to review, I thought it was a night cream for my face. Phyto Secret de Nuit Intense Hydration Regenerating Night Cream – the name and description screams FACE product to me, but to my delight, I received a wonderful night cream for my hair. Here are the details for Phyto Secret de Nuit Intense Hydration Regenerating Night Cream $38: What it is: A night restorative treatment for all hair types. What it is formulated to do: This powerful night cream regenerates the hair fiber and provides up to eight hours of intense hydration, nourishment, and repair. It creates a protective shield against free radicals and oxidation, and leaves hair feeling remarkably stronger, healthier, and shiner. What it is formulated WITHOUT: • Parabens • Sulfates • Phthalates My results: Before I put a new product on my face, I like to smell it. I pumped a small amount on my fingers so I could check the consistency and to take a whiff, see what I’m working with. The texture is nice and creamy with a light, lovely fragrance. I applied the small amount I had on my fingers to my face and went about the rest of my day. Imagine my surprise when I read the directions and realized this product is applied to your hair…oops! I’ve never used a night conditioner on my hair and to be honest, I was thinking I don’t want to go to bed with wet hair and wake up to a pillowcase covered in a gooey mess. Our editor-in-chief doesn’t allow the quick answer of ‘no’ for a product. Just as we have to review and say why we like a product, we also have to say why not. I knew I had to give it a try because like it or hate it, I had to say – why either way. The bottle has a pump dispenser, which dispenses the cream in small amounts. To get the ‘hazelnut’ size amount of product the directions call for, it takes about 3-4 pumps. I apply the cream to my hair by simply combing through my hair with my fingers, the cream absorbs quickly and does not leave my hair feeling wet. I repeat the process concentrating on the ends oh my hair, where I have the most damage and then twist it up in a bun before going to bed. The next morning, style as usual. I am thoroughly impressed. My hair truly feels like it has been intensively nourished, with my ends feeling silky and my hair in general feeling soft. I have found with my hair it’s best not to use the Phyto Secret de Nuit Intense Hydration Regenerating Night Cream on the day I have washed my hair, it does make my hair feel dirtier sooner, but that could be me using too much product as a little seems to go a long way; about third day is perfect for me. I didn’t look at the price of this product before I used it, but honestly, the cost is worth it. It actually works and my hair feels as if it is being repaired, not just masking my frizzed ends. It is paraben and silicone free also, and packed with good natural ingredients to replenish the condition of my hair. I use this 3-4 times a week and the condition of my hair has really improved – I couldn’t be happier. I now want to try other products from Phyto. Bling Factor: Pro: Easy to use, smells great Con: None Price: $38 Buy Again: Yes Packaging: 5 Blings Overall: 5 Blings Hero Ingredient: Macadamia Oil, hydrates and softens hair.

Expert Panel: New Year Detox Tips from Dr. Cheryl Karcher

Now that the holiday season has come to a halt, we are finally settling down from the nonstop road of soirees, cocktails and galas. And though our spirits might stay merry and bright, all the sugar, mulled wine and late nights that we experienced through the holiday season will certainly continue to take a toll on our complexion in the coming weeks. To detox your skin and revive your complexion, here are essential tips from Avon’s consulting top dermatologist, Dr. Cheryl Karcher to keep on hand in the new year: 1. Rest up! Ensure you get plenty of beauty sleep now that the partying is done. Well-rested skin is bright and healthy-looking, while tired skin looks dull and lackluster. 2. Moisturize! Moisturizing is key, so massage your favorite moisturizer plus SPF onto your skin before applying makeup to avoid dry skin at the end of the day. Try ANEW Clinical Skinvincible Multi-Shield Lotion SPF 50 ($36, avon.com) which will also protect from harsh winter conditions. 3.Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! To rid the toxins in our body that alcohol may have brought on, drink lots of water to replenish your system and prevent from dehydration. 4.Get Glowing Apply a resurfacing mask, like ANEW Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel ($25, avon.com), before you moisturize to achieve a luminous glow. 4. De-Puff! Cool those puffy eyes and minimize under eye bags with chamomile tea bags or cucumber to unwind from late nights of holiday partying.

Budget Beauty Tuesday: Editor’s Pick SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak

I have had the worst cold in history. Maybe the flu. At any rate, I have been one sick puppy. So between tea, tissue, and toddies I have been laid up on the couch streaming past seasons of Cake Boss and Crossing Jordan on Netflix. Dayquil, Nighquil, and cough drops just kind of dried me up leaving me rather coo coo. And then I remembered! I received a jar of SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak to review. Mind you, I usually only take a soak or bath when in a hotel, so I was quite anxious to check out this natural remedy for my nose which resembled the faucet streaming the water for my soak. I cracked open that jar, and oh my, what a sensory sensation met my nose! About SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak: Detoxifying & Healing Ease the symptoms of cold and sinus congestion with therapeutic Sage and healing Red bush extract.
