Holistic Skin Care: Tammy Fender Purifying Cleansing Gel: Spearmint and Alfalfa Review
Jan 20, 2010 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Beauty
I’ve been struggling for quite a while to find a cleanser that I felt was organic enough but also got rid of my makeup without overdrying my skin. That’s not asking too much is it?
I was just introduced to Tammy Fender’s Holistic Skin care. I’m now obsessed with Tammy Fender’s Purifying Cleansing Gel: Spearmint and Alfalfa.
It’s a little on the pricy side ($50.00) but if you’re going to treat yourself on something I’d opt for facial products (as opposed to hair or body). I mean, everyone sees your face first, right?
The cleanser is light and minty. It gets very foamy and really feels energizing while purifying at the same time. I love that the line uses herbs and essential oils and is based on traditions of holistic medicine. Did you know that Alfalfa contains over 300 nutrients? Each formula is prepared in small batches and uses pure ingredients. I also like that the cleanser is in a glass bottle–we all know how I feel about the dangers of plastic. Obvs it’s not as cheap as Neutrogena but I think here it’s worth the extra money when you feel like treating yourself. Just my opinion though

Introducing Kairos Acne Care- Acne Fighting Shampoo
Jan 14, 2010 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Beauty
It’s not a pretty situation when you see girls walking around rockin’ backne!
Did you know that a main cause of it is from hair products that you use? Well, it’s a hypothesis anyway…
There is this new shampoo that was developed to provide salon-quality hair benefits without the acne-irritating side effects of usual hair-care. Kairos uses natural oils that won’t clog your pores. Not only that but it actually reduces the necessary frequency of shampooing. It even has salicylic acid to fight existing acne.
CLARIFYING COMPLEXION-CLEARING SHAMPOO ($24): This unique, dual-purpose complex clears blemishes and helps prevent future breakouts while cleansing and detoxifying hair, leaving strands shiny, silky, and residue-free. The medicated formula employs 0.5% Salicylic Acid to combat the acne-causing factors linked to hair and hair products, effectively controlling and managing acne. The formula helps heal blemishes, reduce oil on the scalp hair and face, lessen the frequency, number and intensity of breakouts and prevent future acne. A carefully chosen cocktail of soothing natural botanicals including Tea Tree Oil, Lavender Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Chamomile clarifies and balances hair for salon-quality results.
BALANCING BREAKOUT-CONTROLLING CONDITIONER ($28): Developed with 1.0% Salicylic Acid to reduce inflammation and promote rapid cell turnover, this acne-fighting conditioner softens, detangles, smoothes and moisturizes as it clears and controls breakouts. Safe oils like Sweet Almond, Tea Tree and Lavender Oil condition and soothe without increasing oil production, helping maintain a balanced scalp for a balanced complexion.
OIL-REDUCING PORE-PERFECTING TREATMENT ($28): This potent blend of natural oils and 1.0% Salicylic Acid is designed to gently exfoliate, minimize excess oil, curb bacteria, and penetrate pores to control and help prevent acne. The treatment keeps hair cleaner longer as it clears breakouts, eliminating the “greasy look” on both hair and skin. Just use the treatment twice a week after shampooing, using the special tip applicator to apply to the scalp in sections. Leave on 3-5 minutes before rinsing and conditioning. The treatment can even be used directly on active acne areas on the face and body to treat and prevent breakouts.
