If there’s one thing I want you to have it’s healthy skin and hair.
That’s why I’m going to tell you about the products that content creators don’t want you knowing about.
The ones that have changed the beauty game for me. And no, they’re not the TikTok viral products you’re thinking about.
Read on for just 3 of the ones I'm loving at the moment and deserve way more hype...
1. KMS HAIRSTAY Anti-Humidity Seal.
What is it?
An anti-frizz hair spray to protect hair from humidity.
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants to tame flyways or frizz, so let’s be honest...everyone..
Why do you need it?
Because Australian weather is temperamental. The humidity this past summer was wildand it doesn’t seem to be slowing down now that the weather has shifted.
Plus, we all know the easiest way to ruin a blowout is frizz.
So, rather than let the weather dictate whether you have a good or bad hair day, whynot take that into your own hands??
That’s why KMS HAIRSTAY Anti-Humidity Seal is my not-so-secret secret weapon.
Just a couple of sprays, post-blowout or any hair style will lock in that shine whilst keepingyour locks sleek.
Pros:
- Completely weightless so it won’t weigh your hair down.
- Doesn’t feel sticky to touch.
- Leaves incredible shine and gloss thanks to Trisiloxane and Pepper Gloss in theingredients.
Cons:
They don’t have a mini version; it only comes in 117g which lasts for months.
2. Medik8 Calmwise Colour Correct.
What is it?
A powerful colour correcting cream to neutralise redness.
Who is it for?
It’s suitable for all skin types but particularly beneficial to those who wake up withblotchy, red or irritated skin..
Why do you need it?
Picture this: you use a new product and wake up with red patchy skin…. But you have ameeting in an hour, and you want to put some makeup on...BUT, you don’t want tofurther irritate your skin.
What do you do?
You reach for Medik8 Calmwise Colour Correct cream, pop it all over your face and watch that redness neutralise and your skin begin to feel happy again with all the hydration you just gave it.
In all seriousness, Medik8 is known for their vitamin C and retinol range BUT this correcting moisturiser is an underrated gem because it provides immediate relief for redness and discomfort caused by blemishes.
Pros:
- Instantly reduces redness in skin.
- Highly comforting and soothing.
- Increases hydration level within seconds of application.
- Vegan and cruelty free.
- Evens out all skin tones.
- Non greasy.
Cons:
It’s on the spenny side, at $108 for 50ml. Thankfully, a little goes a long way!
3. Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum.
What is it?
An ultra soothing serum to help sensitised skin.
Who is it for?
Anyone who has a compromised skin barrier, has overdone it on exfoliants, or hasrosacea, redness, or eczema.
Why do you need it?
Because your skin goes through so many phases, especially if you’re a woman… thisserum, during that hormonal time of the month is a LIFESAVER.
Not only is it formulated with Avène Thermal Spring Water, making it calming on the skin, it also has Pro-Vitamin B5 to help soothe sensitive skin, support the skin barrier, decreasetightness, tingling, redness and dryness.
It also helps to support long lasting results, boost skin tolerance and in my personalopinion fixes all and any of my skin issues in just a couple of hours.
Pros:
- It’s extremely soothing on the skin.
- Helps to support the skin barrier, a win win for everyone.
- Helps reduce feelings of discomfort such as burning, heat, dryness andtightness.
- Reduces any irritation or redness.
- Allows the skin to tolerate more ingredients thanks to support the skin barrier.
- It doesn’t feel sticky on the skin and layers well with other products.
- Affordable price point!
Cons:
Literally none. It even comes in a travel friendly size, so please add this to cartASAP.
And there you have it, my 3 underrated beauty products (all coming in at a 4.4+ ratingon the reviews section), that I’m kind-of hoping do sell out… because everyone doesdeserve the best skin and hair of their life.
You’re welcome.
