NEUTROGENA TRIPLE MOISTURE CONDITIONER

Today I would like to recommend Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner. This conditioner was recommended by users on a website I was checking out one day. I decided to give it a try and I absolutely love it. It is very rich and moisturizing, but doesn't make your hair feel heavy. And the smell is divine! It smells like those sweet little smarties candies. The label says, "treats extra dry, over-processed and color treated hair." It has olive extract, meadowfoam seed extract and sweet almond extract in it. Sounds good to me!

FACE WASH / BODY WASH

Today I would like to recommend Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser. The funny thing is, I rarely use it to wash my face which is what the product is made for. I use it as a body wash every single day. It is a white cream with tiny microbeads in it. I squirt it onto a shower scrunchie and wash away. It smooths your skin like crazy. Makes it feel really silky. Great for elbows, knees, upper arms and your thighs and rear. It smooths them all. But it has less to do with the microbeads and more to do with the Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids that are in it. When my face gets kind of dull, I do use it to wash my face, and it does reveal more glowing skin. I think that's what made me decide to try it on the rest of my body. The back of the product reads: "...visibly reduces the appearance of pores and refines skin to be clear, smooth and more even toned...it sweeps away dead surface skin and smoothes over rough, uneven patches." It is non-comedogenic and soap free. It does have a slight fragrance which is kind of hard to describe, but does not smell like perfume. Like I said, I don't use it on my face daily because the acids would irritate it, but once a week probably wouldn't be a bad idea. If you try it, let me know how it worked out for you!

Lotion Alternative

Today I wanted to share my alternative to lotion. When my allergies kicked in a couple of years ago, I found it difficult to wear most lotions because of the fragrance in them. And while there are fragrance free lotions out there, applying them after you get out of the shower just takes extra time and effort. So I started using Neutrogena Body Oil Light Sesame Formula - Fragrance Free. As the label implies, it has sesame seed oil in it. I apply it right after my shower - while I'm still in the shower. It's best to moisturize while your skin is still damp because it retains more moisture. I put it on my legs and arms, making sure to cover my elbows. Sometimes I rub it on my heels too because they tend to get dry. If you are a bath girl, you can add it to bath water to soften your skin. You can purchase this at Walgreens, Ulta, Walmart, Target and most grocery and drug stores. Neutrogena offers the same body oil with fragrance. The bottle looks the same but does not have the label "fragrance free" on the front so watch for that. Sometimes a store doesn't carry the fragrance free version or they are out of stock so you may have to shop around for it. Good luck!
