I promised you all a couple of weeks ago that I would place a list of suitable shampoos on my blog. It is finally here! It wasn’t an easy task and to be honest I was shocked by the enormous amount of rubbish on the market… As I wrote in my previous blog it is also important to check the ingredients list on shampoos. Although allergic reactions from shampoos are uncommon, a bad product can cause severe irritation to the scalp. One of the most common mistakes is the use of an over aggressive shampoo. What happens then? You wind up in a vicious circle: as a counter reaction your skin produces more sebum, your hair and scalp then become greasy more quickly, which means you wash your hair more frequently. Sound familiar? Time for action!
I promised in my last blog to provide you with a list of suitable shampoos. Before I give my list of good shampoos I have 12 tips on how to keep your hair full, strong and glossy. They are worth memorising!
Iris Apfel was right. If you own a pair of good shoes and great hair the world is yours! Although not so hard to find a great pair of shoes, acquiring great hair is a whole new challenge. Why is it that your hair always looks ab fab just when you are about to step into the shower, go swimming or on those weekends lounging at home but never on that all important day when you need it… Fortunately I know a few tricks on how to get my hair as lovely and gleaming as possible and I will let you know how! As there is so much to talk about with haircare I’ll start with the shampoo.
A couple of weeks ago a journalist from Flair asked me what my biggest beauty blunder had been. Well, with the blunders I have made I can fill a couple of blogs, but I will just stick with the one which is still clearly visible in my mind; my “lash extensions”.
You see it in more and more cosmetic products: tea tree oil. It sounds lovely and green and natural, but is tea tree oil really such a fine ingredient? Today some information about this essential oil…
The question I mostly get asked in interviews is to solve the secret of which products I use on my skin. Maybe not so surprising but… I use my own products daily, morning and night. In the first place I developed them for myself; with ingredients I could tolerate, which had proven effectiveness and in the correct concentration. Having said that, I do also have a number of other products on my bathroom shelf as well as my own creams. And most of them cost very little! So I am a fan of the old fashioned tube of Vaseline, but another one in my collection, which I am very fond of, is 100% vegetable oil. A good quality vegetable oil is a must in your beauty regime, and I am going to tell you why…
Caffeine shampoo, caffeine eye rollers, anti-wrinkle and cellulite creams with caffeine, you name it. Does it really work though?
Two weeks ago I had a photo shoot with Flair magazine. They gave me a pair of shoes to wear, which were to die for! I could choose from a range of amazing dresses and trousers and, last but not least, I was given a make-over by a top make-up artist. What more could a woman want! The next day I looked rather less glamorous, waking with eyes which looked as though I’d spent the whole night crying. A typical case of mascara allergy! How do all those celebrities cope with being made up day in day out with not always such clean make-up products…
Gone are the days of thin pencilled lines over our eyes; hair is again allowed to grow (although, in my opinion, with some exceptions..)! We also want our eyelashes to be as full as possible…
You know that fairytale about the pregnant woman with that ‘never looked better’, healthy and radiant looking skin. Well I, myself, appeared in a different story; I was that expectant mother with the blotchy, irritated and over sensitive skin.
