Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Shampoo

This stuff is awful...

I used this all year long when I was living in Australia and discovered it. I combined this with the matching conditioner and mousse and never felt the need to use any other products; my hair looked and felt wonderful! But, here's the weird part, I came to America and bought a huge bottle of this exact same stuff and it was terrible! It left my hair greasy, dried out, and flaky. I'd been so pleased with it in the past that I bought the biggest bottle available in the store. Now it's just sitting in my bathroom waiting to be thrown away. I guess Australia's overall climate was easier for my hair to cooperate with, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone either way.

Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream

Effective, ethical, and oh-so tingly!

I always feel good about buying Burt's Bees products because it's a business that I really want to support. So, when I find something they've made that I really enjoy, I enjoy buying it repeatedly all the more. I've been using this particular face wash since searching for an acne remedy in my mid-teens and it is still all I use to this day. The tingly feeling you get all over your face from the menthol in this is amazing; it makes you feel like the product is hard at work and really wakes you up. I have pretty oily skin, so I usually wash my face in the morning when I wake up and right before bed as well; this facewash doesn't dry out my skin and effectively gets rid of that yucky oily feeling you get from waiting too long between washes. I definitely can see a dramatic decrease in the amount of acne on my face when I use this consistently and I'm really happy with the results. It's been at least five years going strong with this product now and I intend to keep buying it!
