Shower time!


When it comes too all things skincare I like to switch things up every now and again. Here are a few of my favourite products I have been using recently! 

Rehab shampoo (Lush)
I have never used any Lush shampoos before so I opted for the smaller bottle to give it a whirl. It's a restorative shampoo packed full of ingredients that benefit the hair and scalp. Combining fresh papaya, pineapple, kiwi and mango. It also helps strengthen the hair by using organic extra virgin olive oil and jojoba oils. With added sea salt it helps soften the hair and seaweed which improves the hairs shine. The smell is quite lovely too-  Peppermint and juniper. I have been using this for the past
few weeks and have definately noticed my hair is a lot more shiney and healthy looking. I maybe picking up a full sized bottle of this in the near future!

American Cream hair conditioner (Lush)
This is a repurchase for me, I used this a
few years ago and completely forgot about how much I loved it! This conditioner is milkshake-thick, with a strawberries and cream fragrance (which perfumes my hair all day!) Itcontains fresh   strawberries which help cleanse the hair, and are rich in vitamin C. Orange juice is also thrown into the mix to add gloss. To top it off, this contains soothing clary sage and calming lavender for your scalp. I really look forward to using this product (usually 3 times a week) However, one thing I will say about this conditioner is to make sure it is properly washed out, if not, it can leave your hair quite greasy.

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt hand & body wash
If you have ever given the perfume version of this scent a sniff, you will understand why picking up the shower wash was a must (and the body cream, oopss!) It is quite a pricey shower wash to purchase but using it with the body cream and perfume makes the scent last an awful lot longer than using the perfume alone. 

OGX Coconut Milk Shampoo
I have been wanting to try a shampoo from OGX for months, but couldn't really bring myself to pay nearly £10 for a shampoo. Luckily I managed to come across it in Superdrug when on offer for half the price and snapped it up! 
Organix Coconut Milk shampoo is a blend of organic coconut milk to nourish your hair, containing ultra-whipped egg white proteins which add strength and elasticity, along with weightless coconut oils which add hydration and balance. It is quite a creamy shampoo which makes the formula quite hard to lather up, which is a bit of a pain. The scent of this is quite light and not over powering like some other coconut scented shampoos on the market. It leaves my hair feeling soft and hydated- however, I seem to be reaching more for the Lush Detox shampoo...

Last but not least,
Mask of Magnaminty (Lush) 
I have spoke about this in previous blog posts so will keep this brief. I use this twice a week to help keep my skin blemish free, it also works well for a facial scrub. The minty/clean feeling once this mask is washed off keeps me coming back for more!

What are your shower essentials?
