Kerastase and Sebastian thermal protection solutions

By now, we are all aware that we have to protect our hair when using heat on it. Either when blow-drying it, or when using curling and flat irons tools on it.

I have 2 products that I am pretty found of: Sebastian Trillant (thermal protection and shimmer complex spray) and Kerastase Ciment Thermique (vita ciment topseal) a heat - activated reconstructing milk.

I was drawn to Sebastian shimmer complex at first, due to its watermelon scent and then I discovered how great it really is. 

You have to give it a good shake every time you spray your hair with it, in order for the inside liquids to blend. I apply it on damp hair and either leave my hair to air-dry or, if in a hurry, I use a hairdryer. It brings a lot of body to my hair, nice movement and shine as well. I sometimes use it on dry hair as well, to add extra shine and to be completely honest, to add a light watermelon scent to it. I love it!

The Kerastase ciment thermique, is a leave-in cream that I apply on damp air, on mid-lengths and ends of my hair. Besides protecting my hair from heat styling tools, this one is repairing your hair as well. I find that when I am using it, before curling my hair, it makes my curl lasts longer and on normal use it also helps my hair look smoother and with a nice shine to it.

I have been using Kerastase products for the past 4 years and have to say that it make my hair feel more healthier, but I also do like the Sebastian product for the lovely scent, that makes me feel like is summer all year round.

Give it a try. I purchased these products online from amazon or feelunique.

Phyto 7 daily hydrating cream

Phyto 7, hydrating day cream with 7 plants is a leave-in conditioner which will calm your frizz immediately, while having your hair looking hydrated and with a natural shine. 

Its all pure and natural plants do their magic at first touch. I use a pea-sized amount of this cream daily on dried hair, either by itself, or if I feel I need extra moisture, I will combine it with a hair oil as well.

It does not make your hair feel heavy and its formulated for daily use. I even have it in my purse, in case I need extra moisture during the day as well. 

I ordered mine online.

Pores NO more. Benefit and Kiehl's solution

This is what is going to happen if you try any of these products: you will see your pores disappear, the efficiency of the products will surprise you and you might start receiving compliments for your skin! Now you know ... so expect greatness!

When you get stopped by a random stranger on the street, telling you that your face is soooo cute ... you start realising that the makeup artist from Sephora had it right when she recommended you to use: a moisturiser, a pore minimising solution and a dewy foundation for achieving a fresh, luminous, perfected skin.

If you are comfortable with the silicon base primers look after Benefit, the POREfessional balm and if you prefer a non-silicon product, try the Kiehl's Rare earth pore refining tonic, which can also improve your pore appearance on the long run. I cannot vouch for the long run thing, but on the day you use them, they definitely do their magic!

Sometimes I use these on the no-foundation days as well, for a smooth skin.

The POREfessional balm I use after applying a light layer of moisturiser cream all over my face. I wait 2-3 minutes and then I apply my chosen foundation for the day.

This can also be used on top of foundation, with a patting motion and taking time to blend the product into the skin.

The Kiehl's pore tonic has clay in it, so, you have to give it a good shake prior to using it. When mixed, you can place a generous amount of tonic onto a cotton wool pad and start buffing it into the T-zone or if you suffer from all-over oily skin, just use it all over the face. If you place it only on your T-zone, be sure to apply a cream on your cheeks as well, a hydrating or a luminizing one, you decide! Then apply your foundation and voila!

Beside helping with your pore appearance, both products help your make-up stay longer on your skin.

You can try them at local stores and you can also find them online (Benefit POREfessional, Kiehl Rare earth pore refining tonic).
