ANNA SUI

I have thick slightly wavy strands, & a whole lot of them lol. My hair tangles easily when it isn’t properly hydrated & moisturized. I always stick with moisturizing shampoos & heavy conditioners for my hair type, which rarely gets oily, & has been even dryer since I moved to the mountains this year...🏔😩 I’ve been using both of these products for a while, (several bottles each) but I’ve also been really lazy about trying any new shampoos & conditioners. When I empty these I’m going to switch it up & try some new products. Nexxus Therappe™ Ultimate Moisture ProteinFusion™ shampoo for dry hair $12/13.5 oz NEXXUS - Therappe Ultimate Moisture Silicone Free Shampoo I like this shampoo a lot more than the conditioner. The formula doesn’t dry out my hair, but is still very effective for cleansing. Nexxus’ proprietary ProteinFusion™ treatment is a blend of green caviar & hydrolyzed elastin protein. It also contains hydrating Trehalose, moisturizing coconut oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein & keratin. I may stick with this shampoo unless I find something better. I really like the way it feels & rinses without that stringy drying feeling... so important to me! The scent could be better, it’s a bit of a sharp floral perfumey smell, sort of typical salon smell but a bit extra... I think it smells slightly better than the conditioner. Nexxus Humectress™ Ultimate Moisture ProteinFusion™ conditioner for dry hair $17/13.5 oz NEXXUS - Humectress Moisture Conditioner for Normal to Dry Hair This conditioner doesn’t quite cut it for me. Definitely does the job, but I would like something to moisturize even more. This has many of the same beneficial ingredients as the shampoo, like all the hydrolyzed proteins, coconut oil & caviar. In addition is has Caulerpa Lentillifera extract: a species of bryopsidale green algae from coastal regions in the Indo-Pacific. The scent is a little too perfumey, & this product just doesn’t leave my hair as moisturized as I would like, but it does make detangling a breeze. The price is a bit high for a conditioner that performs like a good drugstore product you could get for cheaper. Hair that is less dry or more fine than mine may love this. What shampoo & conditioner are you currently using? I’d love some recommendations, spam my comments! 💟PS- my full reviews for bothANNA SUI - Rose Liquid Body Soap & HERBIVORE - Amethyst Exfoliating Body Scrub are together in a previous post.

🚿I’ve been slacking in the body care department lately, & really needed to exfoliate. I’m hoping I can step my game up a bit💎 I’m very good at keeping up my skincare routine, but with my disability, I kind of hate showering. These products were so luxurious, I’m actually looking forward to it. HERBIVORE - Amethyst Exfoliating Body Scrub $44/6.6 oz This was wonderful! Such a beautiful lilac shade without any artificial colors! I haven’t used a body scrub in a while & was definitely overdue (I’ve had a lot more ingrown hairs on my legs recently😞) This was super gentle, it didn’t hurt or scratch my skin. Not only is my skin quite pale, but I have a neurological condition that can make my skin flare up, so some body exfoliation products are way to abrasive for me. The first 2 ingredients are sugar & epsom salt, both are physical exfoliants & humectants that hydrate the skin while exfoliating. I love this type of physical exfoliators because they’re natural & begin to dissolve in water, leaving no residue or little beads afterwards. And did I mention, it has actual AMETHYST in it?! It also has organic coconut oil & organic shea butter as moisturizers high on the ingredients list. I know it won’t solve my ingrown hairs overnight, but my skin was so smooth, soft & almost felt moisturized enough to not reach for body lotion. (I live at a high elevation & the water at my apartment is very very drying, so I’m still impressed even though I did put on moisturizer☺️) The scent is so amazing! Main note is definitely rich, lush Sambac Jasmine, also known as Arabian Jasmine. If you like the Herbivore Orchid Oil, you will probably like this scent too. It’s a very natural product with great ingredients... I will definitely be adding this to my shower routine!! ANNA SUI - Rose Liquid Body Soap $20/8.4 oz 🌹I really enjoyed this one too. The scents paired so well together! This obviously has a rose scent; extracted from the Dog Rose & the gorgeous Cabbage Rose. A bit of that old lady style rose smell, but not deep & musky, it’s quite sweet, light & fresh. I personally love Rose (& Jasmine) Smell softens once out of the bottle. 🇯🇵This product is from fashion designer Anna Sui’s beauty line made in Japan. All her stuff is sooo cute! With hydrating honey & moisturizing almond oil, this body wash left my skin soft & it wasn’t drying at all. That’s very important in a body wash for me! But it does the job of cleansing the body well with Lauric acid as the 2nd ingredient, which is a hydrating antibacterial agent extracted from coconut that’s able to fight pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, & yeasts. Many of the benefits tied to coconut oil are directly linked to Lauric acid. All in all a really nice body wash... I wish the scent lasted a bit longer, but maybe that’s too much to expect from a body wash. Still giving it 5⭐️ a bit pricey for a body wash I suppose, but you don’t need much to get a nice lather.
