I’ve been using Luzern products exclusively for a week now and I am totally in love with the line.  I’ve been dying for Luzern to be my one and only but had some stuff to finish off first - I told you I’m a stickler for FIFO!  

This post is about the first product that needs to be called to your attention: Luzern’s Purifying Cleansing Gelee. 

A mild cleanser that left my skin feeling soft, clean and slightly moisturized.  Luzern’s products are totally natural sans chemicals.  If no one else will take care of you, this gelee will nurture and coddle your skin in these harsh weather times.  

It comes in a pump bottle, just pump out a nickel size and apply to your face.  It says it foams up but that wasn’t my experience, it glides on.  I used warm water just like the directions stated but the suds eluded me.  You just have to know it’s working and after you see the results you’ll be totally at ease and not need the suds.

A cleanser that’s gentle enough to care for windburn but also removed my eye paint without a problem.  I did take off mascara afterwords but I don’t like to rub too much cleanser in my delicate eye area.    

If you try it, let me know your experience!  Check out this video with some great style tips presented by StyleBakery on ABC.  If you haven’t heard of Luzern, get to a spa or their website ASAP to find out all about it.  There’s also a great definition of what Organic Cosmeceuticals are on their homepage.

There’s only one way to combat dry hair and that’s with the right products to keep your strands silky smooth.  First thing, out with the old hair dryer and in with the new, I just got the Featherweight by T3 and I can’t recommend that highly enough, it’s cut drying time in half, I even use it on my girls - whose hair I’m ultra protective of.  It’s taken so long for girl2004 to get her hair past her shoulders, there’s no way I’m going to risk any burns to her strands or scalp!

Another thing I’ve been using for all three of us is the Kerastase Nutritive Masque.  It’s been great and we have very different hair textures.  Just shampoo your hair, rinse and apply the Nutritive Masque to the ends of the hair, wait five minutes and rinse out.

The conditioner rinses very easily and leaves hair soft and smooth.  My daughter’s curly hair has light bouncy curls that just won’t stop shining.  My thin flat hair has miraculously peeled itself off my face and actually has some lift and take off.

Kerastase Nutritive Nutridefense Masque is billed as an anti-drying treatment for dry and sensitized hair and in my experience that is true.  It uses Gluco-Active Technology (Glucose + Protein + Lipids) which help combat the effects of harsh external elements.  The main thing that I like about about the Nutridefense is that it is lightweight and doesn’t weigh down the hair.

People who would really benefit from this product are people who work outside, snow bunnies, beach babes, people who avoid hat head syndrome and expose their hair to the elements regularly and anyone else who just likes to have silky soft hair. 

Admission: I am a flat haired girl.  My hair is thin and if I don’t blowdry it upside down it’s flat and all over my face.  

NO MORE! since I got my T3 Featherweight I’ve been drying up a storm.  I don’t know why I held back, this is totally worth the price it commands.  Not only is it FAST it’s light!  What I really like about drying with a T3 is I don’t smell that horrible burning hair smell I used to get.  You may be immune to the smell so ask someone you trust to smell your hair after you dry your hair to be sure. 

Since you’re drying faster and less time there’s less chance to damage your hair.  I would compare the Featherweight’s weight to a travel dryer.  Unlike a travel dryer it will fit comfortably with a nice full handle to hold onto and mega drying power. 

Don’t forget, the T3 Featherweight ships FREE @ Sephora
