The Philip B hair mask is packed with l-amino acid complex and Persian katira extract. The lightweight paraben free formula promises to leave your hair soft, silky, and shiny. The formula has Jello consistency and it was really hard to work into my hair and most of the product fell in clumps in the tub.  The first time I used the hair masque, my hair became really sticky, dull looking and unmanageable.  The second time I used the mask my hair felt soft, bouncy, and body. I had mixed in some of my regular conditioner to make the masque’s consistency a bit smoother and used a shower cap to keep the treatment in place. I am guessing I just got a bad batch or bottle. I did read somewhere  that with gel masque to coat wet or dry hair from roots to ends, leave on until it hardens, then rinse out.  I guess I will try the next time, if I decided to buy this mask again.

Many things we do have an impact on our skin, from external factors like the environmental elements to internal factors like stress greatly affect our skin. Our skin has many abilities to help combat these factors such as producing collagen and regulating moisture levels. Even with everyday cleaning and scrubbing sometimes our skin just need a bit more TLC.  Thankfully, weekly masks help us give our skin that extra attention. IQ Derma Glacial Gel Mask claims to hydrate moisture deprived skin to maintain softness and suppleness.  The hydrating gel mask is packed with plant extracts. It recommended to be used 2 to 3 times a week. When I first applied it there was tingly feeling followed by a burning sensation which eventually fades away. Seven minutes later followed by a cool splash of, my skin felt smoother and more hydrated.  While I like how my skin felt after I washed the mask off, I REALLY didn’t like the tingling feeling. I am sure they are other masks that will get the job done with this causing any discomfort.

This all natural Greek treasure is one of the most moisturizing shower gel, I have ever tried. Upon opening the bottle, the sweet smell of freshly cut figs envelop you.  The fragrance is not overpowering and leaves a sweet lingering scent on  your skin The gel lathers up quite generously and leaves your skin feeling soft to the touch. After showering, usually I have to immediately put on lotion to lock in the moisture, but I noticed that after using this gel, I can usually wait till the later in the day before I need to apply lotion. The shower gel is packed with Vitamin C, E and zinc, that leaves thirsty skin quenched. Pamper the Greek goddess in you, with amazing skin.
