¡2 Mascarillas económicas e increíbles para el pelo + 1 champú de banana! REVIEW.

Monday, July 11, 2022

Hace tres años que decidí llevar el pelo al natural, y dejármelo afro. Lejos de limitarme, he descubierto que mayormente, me da más juego, pudiendo decidir si llevarlo afro u liso. Al contrario de usar estrictamente conocidas marcas para mi tipo de cabello (Shea Moisture, o Cantu), quiero experimentar tal y como hago con los productos de cuidado de la piel, y maquillaje, para continuar descubriendo nuevos productos que realmente merecen la pena.  

Para que os hagáis una idea, mi tipo de pelo es afro-4C (denso y muy rizado), necesitando de un alto nivel de nutrición e hidratación. Aunque no lo aparente, mi pelo es altamente exigente, requiriendo de una serie de productos para su cuidado y mantenimiento.

Reconozco, que mi primera toma de contacto con Kallos Cosmetics, así como con la gama Total Repair 5 de L’oréal, no fue en absoluto buena, sin embargo, recientemente decidí darle una segunda oportunidad a Kallos Cosmetis (léeme aquí), y realmente me encanto la experiencia, así como la lista de ingredientes de los productos (breve, sencilla, y eficaz), así que: ¿por qué no continuar dando segundas y hasta terceras oportunidades, y de paso seguir probando nuevos productos?

KALLOS COSMETICS.

Tras mi grata experiencia con el champú de la gama Pro-Tox, y la mascarilla la gama Omega, decidí continuar probando más productos de la marca, siendo los siguientes en llamarme la atención las líneas de Aloe Vera y Banana.

No es novedad que tanto la Banana, como el Aloe Vera, son muy buenos ingredientes para el pelo, porque aportan mucha nutrición e hidratación, a la vez que lo tratan, sin embargo nunca esperé descubrir un producto que se ha convertido en un auténtico favorito.

Hasta el momento, la única gama de banana para el cabello que conocía era la de TheBody Shop (un clásico), conocido por dejar el pelo suave, así como por tener un olor riquísimo y característico…sin embargo, el champú de Kallos Cosmetics, es diferente. Aunque el ingrediente principal de este champú sea la banana, con un olor embriagador a esta fruta, no tiene nada que ver con la versión de The Body Shop: limpia bien, huele bien, pero continua siendo necesario el uso de mascarilla. Por lo tanto, solo se limita a cumplir con su función principal: limpiar.

De otra parte, la mascarilla de Aloe Vera, es realmente eficaz. Tal y como se señala, su ingrediente principal es el Aloe Vera, lo que realmente se nota en el resultado, que además se prolonga a lo largo de la semana. Ayuda a desenredar fácilmente el pelo, dejándolo extremadamente suave, y con buen olor, convirtiéndose por ello en uno de mis productos de referencia, sobre todo en cuanto a increíble relación calidad – precio (2.50 euros por 1.000 ml). ¿Lo mejor? No deja el pelo grasiento, pesado u apelmazado, al contrario, lo deja muy suelto y manejable.

L’ORÉAL.

La línea Total Repair 5, fue una de las gamas de L’oréal, que cuando recientemente acababa de salir al mercado, debido a los beneficios que prometía, decidí darle una oportunidad, y comprarme toda la gama al completo. Sin embargo, me decepcionó bastante, porque sentía que me dejaba el pelo (desrizado) lleno de siliconas y residuos.

Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de volver a probar la mascarilla (con el pelo al natural), y mi opinión es completamente diferente, aunque también es cierto que han reformulado la gama al completo, incrementando el volumen de concentración de KeratinaXS, hasta en un 16%.

Esta vez, en al contrario que la vez anterior, he sentido que me deja el pelo completamente nutrido e hidratado, así como suave, flexible, y en absoluto lleno de residuos. Tras su uso, noto que cubre la mayoría de las necesidades de mi pelo, sin embargo continúa quedándose algo corta (hidratación).

FAVORITES FACE CLEANSER OF 2021: COMBINATION TO OILY SENSITIVE SKIN.

Wednesday, November 24, 2021

In my opinion, every single product of a skincare routine is important as they have a specifical function related with the skin: cleans, tonify, treatment, moisturize, or protect.

Choosing a bad face cleanser can irritate the skin, even develop melasma or eczema. Based on my experience, I almost burned out my skin with a citric cleanser, the mistake was mine, for use a product not indicated or suitable for my skin type. So, keeping this in mind, I created my 2021 favorites face cleanser list!

Face oil cleanser, by EVOLUDERM.

Is amazing how this face oil cleanser dissolves all the makeup and impurities from skin effortless! Usually, the process of removing makeup and clean the skin have two steps: oil-based cleanser, and water-based cleanser; but with this one, you can avoid the second step, using it twice!!! It doesn’t dry the skin, leaving it soft and tight.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Mineral oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Tocopherol.


Egg mousse soap, by TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.

I finally found one of the most famous face cleanser in Asia, and now I know why is so famous: is one of the gentlest face cleanser foam that I ever tried, being impossible to have a skin reaction using it. The best part is how it removes all the face impurities, turning it in the ideal first or second skincare step in the routine of someone with a very sensitive skin.

The only thing I don’t like about this product is the fact that it have parabens, being in the same situation that I’m with some products of Ziaja: I love the product, I love the brand, I love the concept, but I deeply hate parabens. I know that they have been being one of the most affordable preservative used in the beauty industry, but know we have other ones that are affordable and save too.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Egg yolk extract, Milk Protein, Glycerin, Palmitic Acid, Allantoin, and Butylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol.



Hydrating cleanser, by CERAVE.

Is one of the most famous products of the brand and is not surprising since it effectively cleans the skin without drying it out. In my case, I even notice how slightly plumps and balance the skin. It doesn’t have foam or soap, but it deeply cleans the skin! I still amazed, and in love.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid.


No problem washing foam, by REVUELE.

This was an amazing discover for the price, ingredients, and effectiveness. Is a nice face cleanser with interesting properties that helps to treat problematic skin types, including sensitive skin. Is not aggressive and is enriched with essential ingredients to help problematic skin types, and prevent breakouts.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS:  Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Salicylic Acid, Castor Oil, and Coco Glucoside.


Apple foam cleanser, by KUESHI.

This is one of my beloved, for the ingredient list, texture, and effectiveness. The texture of this face foam is light and rich at the same time, with a soft apple fragrance. It purifies the skin without drying it out, having Centella Asiatica among its key ingredients, is just perfect.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Apple juice extract, Aloe Vera, Glycerin, Mentha Piperita, Centella Asiatica, and Citric Acid.

AN AMAZING 5E VITAMIN C FACE SERUM, AND ONE OF THE BEST ONES.

Monday, November 15, 2021

I think that my history with this product, only proves how amazing this product is. A few months ago, I started an anti-blemish skin treatment focused on the use of serums, oils, and moisturizers with good ingredients and skin benefits. All was going well until I commit 2 of the most stupid things a beauty lover human being can do: first, use irritant products on my sensitive skin, and second… hike in a very warm and sunny day after exfoliating my skin (even if I used SPF50, is not recommendable or you will end with blemishes around the mouth area like me): don’t be like me… please!


After that, all my work was partly destroyed! Yes, all those months fighting against my blemishes almost disappeared. My mouth area, my neck, and the under-eye area were a little bit burn and very dark, not pleasant to see. So, I remember how good the vitamin C serum of Revox worked on my skin, and I decided to buy two bottles as a shock skin treatment.

In the past I remember using this serum along with a face moisturizer of the same line, but at some point, I decided to mix them together, discovering an incredible skincare combo with nice texture (finally).

But this time, I decided to use only the serum along with my face oil, as a night treatment, after my face cleansing and toner routine.

I started to see results in two weeks. At first my skin started to renovate itself, day by day, my face was like someone just injected me an instant glow product. Then, the blemishes started to fade, and with that I started to recover my skin… even better!

At the beginning it wasn’t easy to see my face in the mirror, and less take a photo, so I decided to leave you a photo of how my skin looks know, leaving to your imagination how bad it was, based on my vivid descriptions!

On the other hand, observing all this face serum ingredients, I can see why is so good for the skin:

ASCORBIC ACID: moisturizing, brightening, reduce redness and even the skin tone, fade hyperpigmentation, reduce under-eye circles, promotes collagen production, protects against sun damage, soothe sunburns, and boost wound healing.

ALOE VERA leaf extract: fights sun burn, moisturize, antioxidant, fights acne, anti-inflammatory, calming, and helps to reduce stretch marks.

GREEN TEA leaf extract: exfoliate gently the skin, reduce redness and puffiness, protects the skin from sun, and is one of the strongest antioxidants in the market.
