Aveda Intensive Hydrating Masque

Alright there will probably be a few Aveda reviews as I have just started to use their skin care products over the last couple of months.   Working at Lavish Salon and Spa which is an Aveda salon I have completely switched my my skin care regime.

One of my favourite products that they have is the Aveda Intensive Hydrating Masque.  For someone with dry skin like myself it is an amazing product!  It does everything it says it will do.  Some things it is made to do are the following:
• soothes, cools and calms the skin’s surface
• increases skin’s moisture level
• leaves skin soft, smooth and healthy-looking

It instructs you to put it on a clean face and then apply and leave it on for a 10-20 minutes and rinse it off.   It smells nice and refreshing like most of Avedas products, it does feel a bit sticky however the end result is well worth the little bit of stickiness!

I sometimes will even sleep with it on and rinse it off in the morning. It really helps  your skin get through our rough Canadian winters!  It is very refreshing on your skin and leaves it feeling nice and soft!  This product is also amazing in the summer time;  put it in the fridge for an extra refreshing feeling!  I got a burn on my arm (straightener of course), I put this on and it immediately cooled it down and in fact helped it heal a little bit faster.

Another thing I love about Aveda’s products is that they are plant derived and my sensitive skin has yet to have a reaction to any of their products!

So if you have yet to try this product I def recommend it!!

Have the Dry Winter Skin?

Okay so I have had a horrible time finding an amazing face cream for my extremely dry skin this season.

My usual biotherm although a great product was just not doing the trick this time. Every cream I used wore off an hour later and you could see the separation in my foundation because of the dryness.

I had a sample of the original moisture surge cream and I found a difference for sure but I still thought I needed a little bit more I found my face needed more water. So I went and purchased the moisture surge intense and my skin feels and looks so much better, I noticed results within a couple days!

I use this product as both a night and day cream it is a little bit on the thicker side but it doesn’t bother me at all. My skin feels so hydrated, soft and smooth when I use this. A little bit goes along way with this product! If you wear this under your make up like I do I suggest you put this cream on your face do your eye makeup first so that the moisturizer has time to dry before you put any face makeup on.

So far this is my number 1 product for face cream so those that have dry skin I would def recommend you go out and try this!!!
