TRESemmé Keratin Smooth review [part 1]

TRESemmé Keratin Smooth

If you follow me on instagram you'll know that I've been trying out the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth - Shampoo, Conditioner and Heat activated serum this morning. I was so impressed I couldn't wait to share a review with you guys, so there will be a few parts on this post.

If you're wondering what it's all about, let me tell you. So basically TRESemmé now offer an at home Keratin smoothing treatment. You use the shampoo and conditioner as you usually would, and the best part is the heat activated treatment. You simply apply 8-10 pumps of the serum on towel dried hair, comb through then dry you hair as usual. To activated the keratin smooth serum you use your straighteners (on the highest setting). Simply section your hair up and run your straightens 3-5times over each section. It couldn’t be easier.

One of the first things I noticed about the shampoo and conditioner before I even used the serum was that my hair had so much body and a new found thickness - which is god send for people with thin hair like me! After applying the serum and using the straighteners as directed, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. I had super glossy, straight and smooth hair. It was like how it is when I leave a salon.

Another great part about this system is that the smoothness will last up to 4 washes. While this was my first day, I can’t really comment on how it holds up, but I couldn’t wait to share this product with you as I was so impressed with the results immeditatly . I’ll be doing a follow up post in a week or so to let you know if my hair stays as smooth as promised.

In the mean time, if you’re interested in trying to product too, check out the TRESemmé Malta Facebook page for more information.

Pampering Time with Uriage

On Sunday evening before going back to work, I treated myself to a girlie pampering session full of goodies from Uriage. As the sun set for the day, I ran myself a deep hot bath adding some bubbles to top it off. Choosing a youtube playlist and lighting some scented candles I settled into my hot bath with a good book.

After relaxing for a bit I treated myself to an all exfoliation using Uriage Gommage Integral *- a gentle exfoliating scrub that can be used all over - even on the face and it’s perfect for sensitive skin. The scrub comes in a blue gel with tiny exfoliating beads that left my skin feeling fresh and polished. What I love about this scrub is the scent, it’s very Spa like and relaxing but fresh at the same time.

After washing my hair and applying a deep condition treatment I settle back, relax for a bit and continued reading my book. At this point I wish Monday wouldn’t come - don’t we all?

After rinsing my hair and before getting out the bath, I finished off with some soap free - Creme Lavante* nourishing body wash (also suitable for sensitive skin). This product also has a nice clean and fresh smell and left my skin feeling soft.

After drying off, I applied some Suppleance Corps* - a moisturising and nourishing, creamy body milk and let it soak into my skin before slipping into some comfortable pyjamas. The body lotion has a similar scent to the body wash and I was smelling pretty clean spa like and my skin was well hydrated and soft.

While settling down to binge watch Orange is the new Black (I’m a little behind on my TV shows at the moment!) with a big bowl of low-fat popcorn and some herbal tea, I couldn’t forgot my night time skin care and applied my favourite Aqua Precis* intense nutrition balm (Baume nutrition intense), which is a super hydrating day/night cream. It’s perfect if your skin needs a little pick me up, or you can use it daily if you have dry skin. I also use it during the summer on sunburn as it really puts back the hydration you lose when it burns, i find it soothing on the skin too.

I then finished the evening off with a little mani-pedi, feeling relaxed, refreshed and smelling amazing...almost ready to take on the week ahead. I think it’s important whether your single or a mother of 4 to have some pampering time, just an hour or so to catch up on yourself at least once a month. You don’t need to go to spa, you can create your own little spa at home like I did.
