It's a New Day for Curls and Skin!

First, I apologize for the hiatus. Work and grad school got ahead of me. But, my hunt for the right goods for skin and hair has continued.

My little favorite store, Rouge, introduced me to Caudalie skin products a few months back and I am a total convert. For my combination skin, I use a mix of the Gentle Cleanser and the Instant Foaming Cleanser. I also use their Toning Lotion and I love the Creme-Sorbet Moisturizer and eye cream. Wonderful items! Quick note, though, the gentle cleanser needs to be put on to dry skin. My skin feels and looks great.

I also have started to use Neutrogena Naturals' Purifying Facial Cleanser in the morning. It is great and can gently remove any makeup that you just may have forgotten to wash off the night before.

But, the greatest discovery of all came in the mail last week. I purchased Curl Cloths by Curls Like Us. My curls have never looked better. The cloth works with your styling product and removes just enough moisture to keep the curl pattern intact. Let me put it this way, I wash my hair last night, used the Curl Cloths, it is rainy and humid here, and my curls still looked amazing all day today. No frustration, no rubber bands. I bought a second set of cloths for travel. And, I think they may need to be gifts.

In addition, I have finally started to use Ouidad's Heat and Humidity Gel, in my endless quest to find just the right product. This gel is a definite keeper. While Ouidad's "rake and shake" product application may work for those with tighter curls, scrunching is the way to go for me. Curls of all types should try this one.

I mentioned my endless quest for the right product and I want to mention that it truly is endless. What works one day may not work another. Be patient and experiment. The products I have used in the past I will surely go back to as my hair changes. Remember, your hair is ever-changing.
