041- Palmer’s Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion For Instant Cooling

If you still remember, I have posted my review of Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for Face a couple of months ago. This round I will be introducing another product from Palmer's, this time for the body!



Founded in America more than 170 years ago in 1842, Palmer’s has become one of the world’s leading names in skincare, a brand that women around the world have grown up with. Their unique heritage and commitment to quality has stood the test of time. Generations of families have loved the fantastic moisturizing qualities of Palmer’s skincare range, and millions of women around the world agree – Palmer’s can be found in bathroom cabinets in the homes of families in more than 80 countries, making it one of the popular skincare brand.

Their #1 formula, Cocoa Butter Formula, is one of Palmer’s key offering in its wide range of skincare. Today, Palmer’s is still committed to creating affordable products that really do work, growing to provide a Palmer’s product for every skincare need : hand and body care, facial care, stretch mark care, hair care, body care and personal care.

Using nature’s richest, most luxurious ingredients, Palmer’s key ingredients include Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Palmer’s has created a Palmer’s product for every skincare need.

Palmer’s is against animal testing and all of the products are cruelty free. Majority of Palmer’s products are free of parabens, phthalates and sulphates.


What exactly is cocoa butter?

Extracted from the cocoa bean, cocoa butter is known as the superfood for skin which consists of natural anti-oxidant that fights free radicals that can damage skin. It is a rich moisturiser which leaves skin soft and silky, transforming even the roughest, driest area into buttery soft skin.

The latest innovation from Palmer's is its new range of moisturising spray lotions. The Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion which I am going to introduce you provides deep moisture in an instant. This non-greasy formula sprays on easily and the RapidSorb® Technology allows for quick absorption, leaving skin soft and smooth with 24 hour moisturization.



Directions of Use:
Hold can 3-4 inches from skin and spray in a continuous motion. Rub gently into skin.  


Before


After

My feel of this product is that it really does moisturise my skin rapidly with quick absorption. It is lightweight and non-greasy (which is perfect) so that I can get dressed quickly without having my clothes sticking on me. One con of this spray lotion is that it is difficult to control how much to spray, especially during the first few uses. There will be a tendency to overspray due to the amount that is being dispensed out in each spray.

A lover of Palmer's products, Sonia Sui (my 偶像 too!) is now the brand ambassador of Palmer's, endorsing the range of Palmer's products! Catch her using the Palmer's Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion in their latest advertisement below! 


Palmer's Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion for Instant Cooling can be purchased at Watsons, Guardian, Fairprice, BHG, Robinsons, John Little and leading cosmetic stores at $17.90/ 200g.

040 - Essential Light Finish Volumizing & Deep Cleansing

If you still remember, I have introduced you to a new range of shampoos and conditioners which Essential came out with last year. The blog post introduced you to Essential haircare for people with combination hair and covered how you should select the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.


I have been using Deep Cleansing Care for almost 3 weeks now and I must say my hair looks and feels healthier! I have been troubled with itchy scalp and dry hair (after frequent dyeing) for the past year and it isn't until recently that I realised the itch on my scalp has significantly reduced. The Deep Cleansing Care is suitable for oily scalp and dry hair ends and it's perfect for me! 



Most moisturising off-the-shelf-shampoos target the dry ends but may be too rich for the scalp, resulting in build-up that makes the scalp oily. Moreover depending on the thoroughness of scalp massage during shampooing, the scalp build-up may not be thoroughly washed off, further causing the scalp to feel oily in a shorter time.

Essential Deep Cleansing Care brings the best of both worlds to you! With the optimum combination of Smart Cuticle Care & Sebum Cleansing Technology, you can now achieve moisturized hair ends while maintaining a refreshed breathable scalp! 

For a limited time only, Essential is also giving out a massage shampoo brush with purchase of shampoo and conditioner. A massage shampoo brush is a common haircare tool in Japan and is used by the majority of Japanese women to help remove dirt and sebum more effectively from the scalp. The massaging action on the scalp also helps improve blood circulation and promote relaxation. Now you can have a scalp massage without going to the salon! 



The massage shampoo brush thoroughly cleansed my scalp buildup and gave my scalp a comfortable massage that aids in blood circulation and promotes relaxation. The best part about using the massage shampoo brush is that my manicure can now last longer as I do not have to use my fingers to massage my scalp anymore! Just a note, move the massage shampoo brush from side to side instead of in circular motion to prevent hair tangles.





You can now get your own shampoo brush with Essential banded packs in May 2015 at leading supermarkets and personal care stores and get your free samples of Deep Cleansing Care shampoo & conditioner at Essential's Facebook page!

The banded packs which consist of Essential Shampoo 750ml + Conditioner 750ml with free Massage Shampoo Brush in hot pink or mint green is now available at all leading supermarkets, retailing at $19.60.
