7 Skin and Hair Savers
Carissa Casey shares her top 7 standout hair and beauty hero products that will see you through the winter months.
My hairdresser recommended Eleven Australia hair products, a dupe for more expensive Australian hair brands. On the first order I got a free sample of I Want Body Texture Spray.
It sat unused for ages and then one morning I whipped it out and spritzed before curling my hair. Wow, is all I can say. You want body, you’ll get body. The idea is so simple, it’s amazing no one else has thought of it. There are powders on the market which sprinkled on your roots will add volume. I’ve struggled with them, finding them a bit messy and hard to use.
This is a mix of hair spray and volumising powder. It really couldn’t be simpler to use. I’m also a fan of many of the other products in the range (I’m on my second order!).
Olaplex No 3 got me through various lockdowns when visits to the hairdresser were off the cards. It’s a pre-treatment, so smooth it on at night and rinse off in the morning before shampooing and conditioning, for noticeably healthier hair.
I became a big fan of Skinmade’s Sun Oil which contains a broad spectrum spf. Just a small amount smoothed over your face in the morning will keep you safe all day. I know because
I had my skin tested one evening and there it was, still going strong.
Mists were not high on my radar until this year when hot flushes became an issue. Irish brand Ella & Jo’s hyaluronic 3 in 1 mist is refreshing and now comes with a sweet smelling
Orange Blossom scent. Here are the rest of my pick of hero hair and skin products that are always in my beauty cupboard.
