Things I’m Loving Right Now: Moroccan Oil, Neals Yard Remedies Firming Mask and Strivectin Overnight Facial Resurfacing


Moroccan Oil Restorative Hair Mask
I’m already using the regular Moroccan Oil hair oil that acts like a smoothing serum, but I was so impressed with that that I wanted to try another item from the range. So, I opted for vegetable protein packed Moroccan Oil Restorative Hair Mask. My immediate criteria for a hair mask is rinsability; there is little that makes me more annoyed that a head full of gunk that won’t rinse out. The mask requires little in the way of rinsing; it comes out cleanly and easily and leaves hair very soft and silky feeling. I know from other blog reports that if your hair doesn’t react well to silicones you won’t like this, but my hair – naturally curly and quite thick, prone to frizz – loves it, to the point that people have been commenting on how good it looks (and that my friends, NEVER happens!!).


Neals Yard Remedies Rejuvenating Frankincense Firming Mask
I love the absolute lightness in consistency of this mask…it’s a gel formula so it feel like wet air on the skin and very fresh. It’s full of hyularonic acid, marine algaes and tri-peptides; a combination virtually guaranteed to do something good to your skin! While it claims firming benefits, I didn’t notice that my skin was magnificently tautened; but it was distinctly softer and there was a smoothing effect that I was pleased with. I’d use this in future in the mornings if I have meetings just to pep up my skin a bit – especially when tired – and can see it becoming a regular in my beauty cupboard.


Strivectin Overnight Resurfacing Serum
Right, I am always a little bit suspicious that Strivectin is style over substance. I don’t like the pseudo medical packaging particularly, but on the plus it is a clean looking product that isn’t over burdened with decor. I gave the Overnight Resurfacing serum a go because I’m currently using a moisturiser that is quite basic – but very, very effective – and wanted to see if I could add to the effect. Strivectin is packed with enzyme activators, plant-based exfoliants and botanical brighteners apparantly, so it’s good for those whose skin is discoloured by sun damage, or those whose skin is just a bit meh in the dullness stakes. It’s a hugely pleasant surprise that this tiny bottle of low maintenance serum is really, really good! I could definitely feel the effect in terms of softness and a super-smooth texture, and when I went to fetch my morning coffee (virtually make up free), they said I look ‘well’. Unheard of. This is a keeper.

    The frankincense range from Neal’s Yard is amazing. Last summer, I had a weird persistent rash on my face for weeks, but it literally vanished in hours after using the Frankincense Hydrating Cream… couldn’t believe my eyes…

    I really want to try Moroccan Oil, I’ve heard so many good things about it and my Worzel Gummidge style hair is crying out for something to tame it!

    I think I need to try Neals Yard mask :)) Do you have sensitive skin?

  4. I am so tempted to get the moroccan oil mask. Like you, I love the moroccon oil but whenever i try to do a deep treatment with coconut oil et al, I struggle to rinse it all out.

  5. Hi Essjay – I found it easy to rinse out because it isn’t oily as such..nothing like a coconut oil treatment.

    Hi Alluring..my skin can be sensitive but I wouldn’t categorize it as such.

  6. I’ve recently started using the Morrocanoil Original which is like you said, pretty impressive!
    Think they should consider bringing out a shampoo.

    Where can I get the Moroccan Oil products from? I live in London.

  8. I think Morrocan Oil is available from HQHair and Lookfantastic.
