Herbae par L'OCCITANE Spartium Collection

The Almond Collection from L'Occitane will always be my favourite range, but I do love being introduced to new collections and the most recent has been the Herbae par L'OCCITANE Spartium Collection which is prefer for Summer.

The Herbae par L'OCCITANE Spartium Collection is made up of five products and what you get is a scent which is a mix of zesty, floral and herbaceous notes that are reminiscent of sunny days and it is just beautiful.

Starting with the Herbae par L’OCCITANE Spartium Eau de Toilette which is described as being an addictive, refreshing scent, it has top notes of rhubarb leaf accord, grapefruit essence and spices which give it that really punch when first spritzed, there is no doubting that Rhubarb is a dominant note but as the heart notes of holy grass absolute, genet absolute and jasmine absolute come to life, they settle the fragrance down and the floral notes grabbing hold of the fruity notes to create a refreshing scent to allow the base notes of ylang ylang essence, Sylkolide and blond woods to come into their own to add a slight muskiness which isn't overpowering.

Added to the fragrance section for the first time, L'Occitane has included the fragrance above but instead of being an EDT it is also available as a Perfume in Gel and it is perfect for carrying around in your bag because it is no bigger than a lip balm and it is the ideal format for touch-ups through the day.  It does keep that zesty, fresh floral fruity scent and is a great addition to the range.

There isn't a L'Occitane range without a good shower gel and the Herbae par L'OCCITANE Spartium Collection is no different.

Idea for all skin types, this Shower Gel also contains a natural extract of Spartium and it is a lightweight gel which works to gently cleanse the skin and as it does so, it leaves behind a delicate radiant and floral fragrance that combines zesty freshness with sunny floral notes and an herbaceous musky trail.

Once showered, then comes the Herbae par L'OCCITANE Spartium Body Lotion which has been designed to help moisturise your skin to leave it feeling beautifully soft and delicately scented. 

Again, this Body Lotion is enriched with shea butter and a natural extract of Spartium and those same zesty fresh and sunny floral notes, which are delightful and if ever there was a good way to layer your products to really bring out that scent.

Then finally, the last product is one L'Occitane are most known for and it is their handcreams, and within this collection we have the Herbae Par L'Occitane Spartium Hand Cream.

With its moisturising formula which works to soften your hands you get that wonderfully freshy zesty scent alongside those floral notes which are just delightful though not as strong as the body lotion. Lightly textured and enriched with shea butter, this is a hand cream which is not greasy or tacky and just absorbs into the skin really quickly.

This is such a wonderfully scented collection from L'Occitane which really helps to lift the mood as those fresh scents envelop the skin and it is one to get your hands on before it disappears.

Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Scalp Hair Care Collection

Hair Care and Scalp Care are two things I really make the effort with, especially since having Covid when I noticed my hair was falling out more than usual. If I am feeling under the weather, my scalp itches, it is one of the signs I am stressed, unwell and in some cases, used a product that just isn't right for me.  

For the last few months, I switched from using my trusted Ginger Shampoo, to the Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Scalp Range. This Clean Beauty Scalp range is made up of a 3-part system infused with gentle botanicals that are said to help calm and re-balance all scalp types, especially dry, oily or sensitive conditions, with instant relief while at the same time, strengthening and nourishing hair.

The first product within this trio is the Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Scalp Therapy Shampoo and it is described as being a nutrient-rich, vegan shampoo formulated to clarify your hair and scalp.

Formulated for dry, oily or sensitive scalps, the vegan formula work to remove both impurities and build-up, while at the same time nourishing with a blend of nutrient-rich ingredients.

I really like the lightweight formula of this shampoo, you need just a small amount to create a really good lather and it smells really fresh and clean too.  The formula is infused with grapevine sap and soothing chamomile extract to cleanse and clarify, while zinc helps to remove excess oil. Suitable for colour-treated hair, the shampoo leaves your hair and scalp feeling refreshed and replenished.

You can find this Shampoo here.

As with the shampoo, this is a nutrient-rich conditioner formulated to clarify and nourish your scalp and hair as it delivers a nutrient-rich blend to nourish your hair and scalp.

Again, this conditioner has a really lightweight formula which doesn't feel heavy when applied to the hair and, as with the shampoo, it is enriched with grapevine sap and soothing chamomile extract which work to gently clarify and condition, while at the same time, zinc, which helps to remove excess oil and visibly strengthen hair.

You can find this Conditioner here.

Then finally we have the Clean Beauty Scalp Therapy Drops and these are my favourite product from the three so far.

Using the pipette, the advice with these drops is to section your hair and then apply 3ml to a clean scalp and massage in circular motions to help evenly distribute, and this is a non-rinse out product too.

Using Scalp-soothing formulas which features nourishing grapevine sap to provide a balanced blend of minerals, amino acids and other essential nutrients to help improve the appearance of the scalp and hair, as well as antioxidant-rich chamomile extract which is packed with antioxidants and polyphenols to help soothe the scalp and nourish hair.  These drops also come with a really soft scent that has hints of citrus, delicate florals and a powdery finish, not too overpowering and hasn't irritated my scalp.

What I enjoy about the Scalp Drops is that they don't leave my hair looking greasy when applied, they're easy to use and actually soothe and calm an irritated scalp.

You can find the Scalp Drops here.

If you find your hair and scalp has become a little sensitive of late, then this is a great collection of products to try, especially the drops because you can just apply them when you need to or daily, which is the advice.

How To Achieve The Best Results From Your Beauty Treatments

From time to time, it is within our nature to want to seek beauty treatments. It can help us feel more confident or healthier. Either way, it is good to know how to achieve the best results when you attain a beauty treatment.

Whether you wish to seek a damaged hot oil treatment for your hair or a facial treatment, here are some tips to ensure you achieve the best results from your beauty treatments.

Invest in the professionals

When you are considering a beauty treatment, you will want to spend your money to achieve the best outcome.

For instance, if you are considering Botox, it is wise to invest in the best people in the industry to ensure safe and aesthetic results. It is worthwhile saving for a while longer to seek the best beauty treatments and you will guarantee to be more satisfied with the results. After all, you could put your beauty and health at risk if you seek unprofessional beauty treatments. So, do your research and save to invest in the best people.

Choose a hygienic clinic

Another way to get the best results from your treatments is to choose a hygienic clinic.

When you were getting a beauty treatment, it is important to put your health first. Therefore, ensuring that the clinic is as hygienic as possible will guarantee that when your procedure is going on, you will be safe from health hazards. You can check a clinic's hygiene rating online or ask to see their certifications.

Choose a clinic with great reviews

Furthermore, it is a great idea to choose a clinic that has excellent reviews. You can check clinic reviews online, like you can with the hygiene of the clinic, as well as see reviews on their social media.

It can be a good idea to check a clinic's tagged pictures on social media to see the results of other patients as well as what they have to say about the treatments. You can get honest reviews by looking into a company's social media tagged images and opinions.

Understand the post-treatment procedures

It is important to understand the post-treatment procedures which you can attain from the clinician.

For instance, if you are getting your eyelashes permed, then you will want to know that you cannot use oil-based cleansers or get water on your eyelashes after the treatment has finished. If you do not follow the procedures, then your lash perm may be hindered and the results will not be as good as you hoped for.

Know how to care for yourself properly after the treatment

Furthermore, you might require specific care after you have had a beauty treatment.

For instance, if you get Botox, you may need some downtime and rest and recover from the injections. Most treatments like this require minimal downtime. However, some treatments are a bit more invasive. Therefore, it is a good idea to know how to care for yourself after the treatment so you can remain as healthy and well as possible. Ask the clinician and they will give you a thorough brief to maximize and maintain your health and comfort post-treatment.

Understand if you are actually suitable for the treatment

You might consider yourself to be suitable for all beauty treatments. However, there are a select few treatments where you need to meet certain requirements in order to be safe and fit for the treatment.

For instance, it is not safe to get laser hair removal when you are pregnant. Knowing this before you book and go in for the treatment will ensure that you can keep yourself as safe and healthy as possible.

If there is pain involved, asked for something to numb you

If you experience pain throughout a beauty treatment, it might put you off from having it or finishing it. This will hinder the beauty treatment results.

Before you can, ask the clinician to numb the desired area before the treatment begins so that you can remain as pain-free and comfortable as possible. This will guarantee that you can relax during your treatment and the clinician can work their magic to provide you with the best results.

Ensuring to take these tips on board will help you achieve the best results from your beauty treatments in the future. Simply investing your money and time into the best professionals and checking up on the clinics, hygiene, and final result reviews will guarantee that you can feel happy and confident about any beauty treatment that you have.
