LIVING PROOF PERFECT HAIR DAY DRY SHAMPOO #TBT POST

Earlier this week I reviewed a dry shampoo from the local South African

brand Sorbet click here and for me it was the worst that I've tried and it made me think about my absolute favourite dry shampoo the 

Living proof Perfect hair Day dry shampoo

  so I thought I would re post it today, as my #TBT post.

Once you try a disappointing product it make you really appreciate the good ones

and this one is a good one...

I originally posted back in October 2019.

Earlier in the year I was introduced to Living Proof hair products via the

Marks & Spencer Beauty Advent Calendar 2018, which contained a generous size of their

Restore Treatment Mask.

I thoroughly enjoyed the mask and if you would like more info on this US brand

 and the mask then check out my review

Following some research I came across their multi award winning 

Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo

and whilst not being a big user of Dry Shampoo I'm never without one in my cupboard,

for those emergencies where washing hair just isn't an option.

My previous fave and has been for many years has been the Klorane Dry Shampoo,
but its becoming more and more difficult to source, so I was happy to purchase
the Living Proof and give it a try.
I initially bought the travel size, whilst overseas, I used it once and on the strength
of how much I liked it I quickly purchased the large size, so I'm currently sitting
with two cans of Living Proof Dry Shampoo and I ain't complaining.

Powered by our Triple-Action Cleaning Technology to address how hair looks, feels and smells. Fast-absorbing powders soak up oil and sweat while our patented Healthy Hair Molecule (OFPMA) helps you remove the powders easily from hair, resulting in actually clean hair. Odour neutralisers and time released fragrance keep hair smelling clean.

I was ecstatic that there was no powder or white residue left behind and my hair
not only smelt fresh, but it was for me - acceptably clean and many
dry shampoos are not able to give your hair that clean feeling.
 I am now happy, as I have found a new Dry Shampoo.

Its also:
Paraben-free
Phthalate-free
Silicone-free
PETA Certified Cruelty-free
Safe to use on chemically treated hair
&
Colour Safe

It's not the most affordable on the market, but considering how often I
use a dry shampoo I don't mind the spend for that "truly bad hair day" 
or should I say "truly oily hair day" 
fix.

I have inserted this helpful video to show exactly how to use this dry shampoo 
and in fact any dry shampoo for that matter.

SORBET CHIC AND QUICK DRY SHAMPOO {REVIEW}

During lockdown I have resorted to using a Dry Shampoo more often than usual,

 as I've been leaving my hair longer in between shampoos.

When it comes to a Dry Shampoo I naturally gravitate towards the more expensive

brands, as I've found through experience that they do perform better.

I was however wanting to find a local and more affordable brand for those

 "stay at home days".

Recently on a mad dash to Clicks for a repeat script I quickly looked along the

 Dry Shampoo shelf and came across the

Sorbet Chic and Quick Dry Shampoo

on reading the can it appeared to fit the hair bill perfectly.

Sorbet Drybar Clean & Classic Dry Shampoo 200ml has a starch-based formula that absorbs excess oil and odours, freshening hair up quickly. Great for touch-ups when you’re short on time but need to look your best. 

Does not contain parabens.

Directions for use: shake vigorously before use. Hold nozzle about 30 cm away from hair and lightly spray dry shampoo on dry hair focusing on the roots to absorb the oil.Brush through from root to tip, or massage through with fingertips.

Sadly for me it didn't fit the hair bill and whilst it smells lovely and fruity fresh, 

it's also full of fumes and gases, more so than any other dry shampoo that I have used, which 

I personally found quite overwhelming and unpleasant.

I found it difficult to remove on my darker roots, as it left that telltale

 dulling grey cast over my hair leaving it looking lifeless and quite simply

worse than before I used it and

it just didn't do it for me.

In the above Pink Link you will see both drugstore and high end Dry Shampoo

reviews and I think I will be going back to the Colab Dry Shampoo for my

 "Lockdown Hair" going forward.

DERMALOGICA NIGHTLY LIP TREATMENT {REVIEW}

Dermalogica's AGE smart system of products has been formulated to

Prevent, Treat and Reverse the visible signs of ageing.

Wrinkles, altered pigmentation and loss of skin tone are all associated with ageing

 skin and non more so than around the lip and mouth area.

For the past week I have managed to get around 4 applications out of a sample of 

Dermalogica Nightly Lip Treatment

 and despite not being able to do a full review of the product I am able to give

 some first impressions.

The lip area is somewhat of a neglected area in skin care and despite running my

 excess eye cream around my lips after application, I don't use a specific anti 

ageing lip product and it is something that's lacking in my routine.

I do use a lip exfoliator regularly, which does overlap onto the skin around

my lips and I exfoliate my face weekly, which again overlaps onto my lips, so on the

exfoliating front my lip and mouth area do get treatment along with 
lots of application of lip balm on a daily basis, so my lips and skin around are not neglected in any way.

That being said the Nightly Lip Treatment is a specific Anti-ageing product that works

to reduce the appearance of fine feather lines and wrinkles and I'm sure we are all

 aware of those regardless of our age.

Fortunately my lip area is in a relatively good condition, especially considering I'm 

a talker of note and always have been. I'm also fortunate that I don't smoke, as this can 

speed up the onset of both pigmentation and lines around the lips.

With age the skin experiences a loss of skin volume and the 

Nightly Lip Treatment 

formula claims to firm, hydrate and restore the skin both on and around the lips.

Skin elasticity is improved and the barrier function is restored.
The loss of skin volume is one area that I have noticed a change, as I've aged,
along with the appearance of several fines lines and a couple of
 much laugh lines around my mouth.

Nightly Lip Treatment from Dermalogica softens and hydrates overnight for a renewed appearance.Formulated with a sesame seed and Indian gentian extract blend, this lip treatment improves elasticity, while reducing the appearance of fine feather lines overnight. Vitamin-rich shea butter conditions and restores barrier function against the visible signs of aging.

After cleansing and toning, apply generously and massage nightly into the skin 

on and around the lip area.
The cooling metal tip will not only help with the nightly massage routine but will also control the amount dispensed, whilst keeping it application free from fingers
 and any possible contamination.

I recently wrote a post about skincare products that offer value for money
and I included the Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Complex
To read that post
 and the same product also 
made it onto My Top 6 Skincare Products 2017 list.
To read that post

The Nightly Lip Treatment is suitable for all skin types and is:

 Dermatologist Approved, 

Sulfate-Free, Gluten-Free,Paraben-Free, Certified Cruelty-Free, 

Vegan, Phthalate-Free and Clean.

My first impressions:

As I've found with several other of the Dermalogica products a little really
does go a long way and this lip treatment is no exception.
The texture of the product is a gel/cream which I found to absorb quickly and
didn't leave any greasy feeling around the lips, yet it felt comfortable and nourishing.
The slight minty sensation was both pleasant and refreshing.

However you must understand that I cannot give a full review after 4 nights of application, but what I can say is, my lips and area around my mouth felt great, 
smooth and conditioned.
With regards to the lines, I could already see a slight
softening of some feathery fine lines and I have no doubt that with continued use
Dermaogica would deliver on all its promises.
