Kérastase Nutritive Irisome Pre-Shampoo
Kérastase launched a few new products recently, and one of them is a pre-shampoo – more or less the last product I’d ever think I’d become obsessed with. Who has time for a pre-shampoo, I thought to myself?? It sounds annoying and useless, but it’s far from it.
Avene Thermal Spring Water: Into the Mist
I have lots of hydrating atomizers and have used them forever, thinking they’re pretty much all the same. Until I started using Avene’s Thermal Spring Water, that is. This isn’t like the Evian that’s just water in a special dispenser that atomizes. To begin with, Avene’s particular dispenser is a little more complex.
Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Conditioner
We always hear about dry shampoo, but Serge Normant is the first luxury brand (at least that I’ve come across) to come out with both a dry shampoo AND a dry conditioner. It’s basically one of those products you never knew you needed, and then once you have it you wonder how you ever lived without it.
(MALIN+GOETZ) Rum Body Wash: Thick and Fabulous
My gym uses only (MALIN+GOETZ) products, which is pretty fancy pants. It’s about the best fancy pants brand for a boutique fitness studio to use because their products have a unique consistency that discourages being wasteful. My favorite is their rum body wash ($36).
Oscar Blandi Hair Serum: Get Stronger Hair Now
There is only one thing to do when it’s freezing cold outside for days on end…go blonder! Well, that and book a trip to Miami, but that isn’t always feasible so a few weeks ago I went to Oscar Blandi to get my highlights touched up and brightened. Amy did an amazing job, and I also had the chance to meet Gina Guercia, a very well-known editorial stylist who heads up the brand’s product development.
Dry Brushing: Why You Should Be Doing It
When I was in Thailand I had my first experiences with dry brushing at a spa. I was told it would help not only exfoliate, but stimulate circulation. Makes sense! That’s why I use “rough” scrubs on my body. In speaking with my therapist, however, she also said it was one of the most effective ways to fight cellulite.
