On today's agenda, is Kiehl's (see the previous blog I wrote on their fabulous Hand Cream http://flicks-licks-chicks.blogspot.com/2009/12/night-walked-down-sky-with-moon-in-her.html) I have quite dry skin and hair, the latter being due in a big way, to the amount of colour Ive had on it over the years, chemical straightening (once when I was 15) and the industrial hairdryer I use! I have to say, over the past year Ive taken much better care of my hair, having a darker colour (well not blonde anyway!), using the aforementioned hairdryer less, and using Keratin Oil and treatments (Im sure I'll blog about this at a later date!) so in general, my hair is both looking and is actually healthier.
So, while we are on the subject of hair.... Kiehl's Sunflower Color Preserving Deep Recovery Pak. This product is both Silicone and Paraben free (Im really getting into checking out ingredients of products lately) and works to strengthen the hair (Vitamin E) and preserve the colour (Sunflower) Ive recently had my hair coloured more red/orange, and as anyone who has coloured their hair these colours knows, they fade fast! So far, Ive used this masque a few times, and Im very happy with the result! My colour is looking fresh and my hair feels and smells wonderful. You know how sometimes when you use beautiful smelling products on your hair, once you've washed them off, your hair doesnt really smell of the product anymore? Well not with this one, my hair smells beautiful! On the Kiehl's website, this costs £24 for 250 ml, and with you only needing a small amount, if you work out how many uses you'll get from the pot (many!) and of course the benefits your hair will receive, it really is worth giving it a try!
As I mentioned, my skin in general is dry, and at this time of year, what with the central heating and weather, it is at it's worst! Introducing Kiehl's Creme De Corps. Ive heard some really good things about this cream and boy are they true! It states it has a rich texture and is for dry, flakey skin (=mine!)
It can be annoying when creams dont absorb well/quickly, and you have to wait for what seems like ages to put your clothes on after using it! With the Creme De Corps, you still need to wait a bit while it absorbs, as it is a rich cream, but it still soaks in relatively quickly and makes your skin feel so smooth afterwards. Ive been using this for a few weeks now and can say it has made my skin less dry, less flakey and Im very impressed with this product. Another fabulous buy from one of my fave brands of the moment, Kiehl's!

My girlfriend swears by these products. Im one of those blessed with oily skin which ive been told will keep me looking young but the fact I shine like a light bulb each day makes me think whether its really worth it! Anyway, the Kiehl's hand cream she uses is as good as you say. It has literally transformed her hands from dry and cracking (sometimes bleeding) to soft, healthy and young looking skin again. I dont know what they put in it that's different from other creams out there but Ive never seen anything work as well as this one has on her. And if something makes her happy, it makes me happy too - thanks Kiehls!
