Nexxus, Kerastase and Shu Uemura: Winter Hair Options to Protect, Reconstruct or Thicken

Toronto taught me that dry hair is a real affliction. Until I lived there, I never gave my hair a second thought. The wonderful temperate climate of Vancouver keep my hair tamed and generally "regular". The near-Siberian temperatures of Toronto had me battling static fly-aways and brittle strands. I never knew I had to care for my hair until I lived a winter in TO and tried this and this to solve my problems. So if you are in that situation, consider these three options to protect, reconstruct or thicken your hair in crisis.

An Empty Worth Talking About (ft. Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution*)

This is an empty worth talking about. The Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution* ($59CDN, 30ml) has done a bang up job of lighting some of my moles and dark spots. I didn't actually believe it would work (I basically bumble around with brightening products and hope for the best.)

Turkey Neck Prevention (ft. Skinceuticals Serum 10*)

Turkey neck. Am I the only person afraid of this? I'm sure weight will have a contributing factor on how dangly my jowls will be with age but if I can help it, I'm going to make sure my skin is as firm and ageless as it can be. Using the amazingly well composed Skinceuticals Serum 10 AOX+ ($99CDN, $70USD, 30ml), from the brand's prevention line, is sure to help the cause.

Deciem Hylalmide SubQ Eyes*

Has everyone and their mom talked about this lately? Deciem has been getting a lot of blogger love lately and I was sent the Hylamide SubQ Eyes Advance Serum* ($35CDN, 15ml) to try. I've noticed a bit more under eye baggage and I've been using eye creams a bit more regularly.

Starting a New Skin Routine

*Press Sample

I didn't want to take back a whole regime of half empty skin care bottles so I recycled what remained of my more than half used products in Toronto and started a completely new regime when I came back. It was about time I dove into these Vichy products since they've been sitting here for months!

Mixing Socks and Mixing Skin Care Ft. Dermalogica Skin Hydration Booster

*Press Sample

Missing socks are one of the major crises of our times, up there with food insecurity and oil dependence. Describe a wicked social problem and I can counter your example with the improbable situation where putting two things into a closed drying vessel only yields one of them back out again. Conservation of mass somehow does not apply to laundry. In order to keep both my feet in a state of warmth and modesty, I've started mixing up single socks in the hopes that they will work together in lieu of their missing partners. 

Viva Health Skincare*

I've mentioned briefly that Viva Health Skincare* was kinda great. There are two amazing products in this line that you really have to try!

Dermalogica Powerbright Treatment Kit Review*

*Press Sample

My never ending skin crusade is to rid myself of the dark spots, acne scars and weird pigmentation blobs that are on my face. If it hasn't been apparent, I'm always interesting in new skin brightening products. The Dermalogical PowerBright TRx Treatment Kit ($50 CDN, each bottle is 10ml) which features a serum, day cream with SPF and a night cream for evening skintone, and offsetting hyperpigmentation.

Marcelle Ideal Skin Perfector*

I'm not entirely sure why...but my pores have gotten, you know...maybe just... the tiniest, insiest bit larger lately...BUT JUST A LITTLE.  Ok not really...there are craters that would put the moon to shame so its nice when a skincare product can do a little something to help rectify this situation *makes circling hand motions at face*

The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso Brightening Serum and Moisture Cream*

*Press Sample

I'm still on the whitening and brightening train so testing out The Body Shop's new Moisture White range seemed almost necessary. This range combines the ingredients of Shiso (Perilla leaves), Vitamin C and Liquorice to prevent melanin related pigmentation, increase skin luminosity and even skin tone. Each item in the line is suitable for all skin types.
