The essentials - Shower edition

Hi lovelies,

After the last fashion blogpost we're going back to the beautyside of things with a post that hasn't been done on the blog before : My shower essentials. Lately I've accumulated a couple of new bits that I really love and deserve to have their place in the spotlight.

 The haircare edit

I start my showersession with haircare because all of these products need their time to work into the hair so start with that first and do your bodycare in between while your products soak in your hair. I wash my hair with Bioderma Node K shampoo. My dermatologist recommended this because I have a condition that's similar to psoriasis on my scalp, it helps a little with the itchiness and cleans quite well but it isn't a miracle worker so the itchiness probably won't ever leave. After I washed and rinsed my hair twice I apply a hairmask. My hair is quite sensitive and gets split ends so quickly. I only need to look at an curling iron and my hair dies. To keep my hair healthy and growing without splitting I use the Lee Stafford treatment for hair that never grows past a certain lenght. Longest name ever but I really noticed a significant difference in my hair. My last step for hair is conditioner. I refused to use conditioner until last year but I finally caved and I just need to accept that it really does keep your hair healthy and not just makes it too soft and flat. My conditioner of choice is the Aussie 3 minute miracle reconstructive deep conditioner. It works miracles, trust me. The fact that it smells like bubblegum doesn't make me mad either.

The bodycare edit

I start with washing my face using the Shiseido benefiance creamy cleansing foam. It's meant for older skin but that also means it's more hydrating, which I really like with this cold weather we've been having this winter. My bodywash changes with my mood but I really love the fruity scents from The Body Shop. I featured the papaya shower gel but I also like other scents and the showergels from Bourjois. I've only ever used The Body Shop scrubs to scrub my body but I really like them. I do prefer the shea scrub over this jelly pink grapefruit one but it does the job. The last product I use is when I get out of the shower. I use a Body Shop body butter in the papaya scent to moisturise my body. It smells delicious and makes you feel soft and non-flaky in the past cold winter months. 

Looking back on this post I really am a Body Shop fan, which are your favorite products?

Goodbyeeee
