This week the Women24 team has rounded up some fantastic new products to combat dehydration:
Summer hair healers
1. GOSH Argan oil conditioner
‘Argan oil conditioner boasts that it should be your choice of conditioner if you want moisture, softness, repair and shine – that it does. Packed full of vitamin E, the Moroccan oil that is this conditioner’s chief quality has the most luxuriously nurturing effect, leaving your hair both silky and strong. Best of all, it protects the hair from heat damage, an essential protection in the age of heat-styling hair tools.’ – Laura Shortridge
2. GOSH Argan hair oil
‘If this amazing oil does not capture you with its scent, it’s sure to do wonders for your hair. Before I used this product, my hair was dull and dry. After applying and styling with it, my hair had a clear shimmering glow. What makes it so cool? It’s thick, clear, it smells good and contains natural oils. You don’t even have to use a lot of it - quality over quantity.’ – Trudy Rozani
3. Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream
‘I have naturally curly hair, which means it can often go quite dry – especially because I prefer blow-drying my hair straight. All that heat can wear my poor tresses out. So, when this goodie crossed our beauty desk, I grabbed it immediately. The directions on the packaging say you should use one or two pumps and apply from mid-length to ends. Then blow-dry and style as usual or allow hair to dry naturally. I have A LOT of hair, so I have to use a bit more.
‘It’s lightweight, smells great, and really does a great job moisturising my hair. I’d recommend this to any one with curly hair problems.’ – Carmen Williams
4. Moroccanoil Frizz Control
‘I first fell in love with Moroccanoil products when I was introduced to the Intense Curl Cream leave-in conditioner.
‘When the latest range of products arrived on our beauty desk, I jumped at the chance to, once again, try a product. This time around, I decided to try something that is pretty much the opposite of the Intense Curl Cream: the frizz control spray.
‘With the exception of summer, I usually keep my hair straight, but am often prone to “static” hair attacks. This product, while used to tame frizz, also helps to protect your hair during cold, dry and incredibly humid conditions.
‘Having tried this product, I can definitely say that it works wonders. Not only does it leave your hair smelling amazing, but it certainly left my hair feeling smooth and, as promised, static free. Whether you have dry or gnarly hair, this is one product that every girl should have in her hair-care arsenal.’ – Tammy February
Skin boosters
1. Lipidol: Cleansing Body Oil and After Shower Oil
‘Now available in Clicks (all products cost R79.99), Lipidol is the world’s first moisture retention skin care range – aimed at preventing the loss of hydration with the use of an oil base. The packaging is very sleek, contains rejuvenating ingredients and is scented with essential oils, e.g. the lime scented Cleansing Body Oil and chamomile After Shower Oil. These are incredible products, especially for dehydrated skin – be sure to add them to your summer essentials shopping list!’ – Marisa Crous
2. Clarisonic: Mia 2 Facial Sonic Cleansing Brush
‘Blake Lively and Angelina Jolie are some of Clarisonic’s biggest fans. Now, this fantastic facial cleansing tool is coming to Stuttafords in South Africa!
‘Clarisonic combines proprietary technology with a revolutionary vision to redefine skin care. The Clarisonic Pro Sonic Skin Cleansing System was initially developed for skin care professionals to use in treatment. It quickly became the #1 cleansing brush recommended by leading dermatologists, aestheticians and spa professionals.
‘Gentle yet powerful, Clarisonic’s Sonic Method revolutionises the cosmetic industry, converging products that work on the surface with technology that goes beneath the skin’s surface to beautifully transform its texture, reducing the appearance of pore size and creating a softer, smoother, more radiant complexion. Once you start using this brush, you won’t be able to live without it – trust me!
‘Its latest product, the Mia 2 Facial Sonic Cleansing Brush is lightweight, compact and equipped with a travel case, Mia 2 allows for a gentle and effective cleanse at home or on-the-go.’ – Marisa Crous
