I didn’t have much going on today, so I decided to pamper myself. I worked out for an hour (crazy for me!) and then had a delicious Amy’s pesto frozen pizza and watched some trashy TV. I did a face mask and a hair mask (or “pre-poo”) for some beauty love.
I really love this Balancing Clay Mask I’ve been using by Chella. It’s for sensitive or acne prone skin (I have both!). It dries on your skin to draw out impurities, but it doesn’t dry out your skin (big difference).
It’s got allatonin, vitamin B5, aloe vera and avocado oil to moisturize skin, but it also has hectorite clay, copper, vitamin C, green tea, seaweed, alfalfa, gotu kola and grape seed extract to draw out impurities, kill germs, promote cell renewal and neutralize free radicals. It also has horse chestnut and ginger root to increase circulation and give your skin a nice glow.
I love it, love it, love it! It makes my skin feel refreshed, smooth, moisturized and clean.
The hair mask I used is the Healing Neem and Coconut Hair Treatment Oil by Sundari (Christy Turlington’s skincare line). It’s an oil you can put in your hair about 20-30 minutes before you take a shower (or you can even leave it in overnight). It’s made from coconut oil, rice bran oil, neem oil (which has moisturizing and antiseptic properties), gotu kola oil (known as “tiger’s grass because wounded tigers often roll around in it for its wound-healing properties – how cool is that?), apricot kernel oil, triphala extract (a popular Ayurvedic herb), lavandin oil, palmarosa oil, rosewood oil and rose flower oil.
It has a nice, fresh, woodsy scent that I really like, and it’s a really nice hair conditioner.
Sundari means “a beautiful woman” in Sanskrit. This line uses Ayurvedic principles and the products contain organic ingredients whenever possible. They never use artificial fragrances or dyes, and of course they never test on animals.
