Aveda Brightening Moisture Treatment

Advantages: it was free! Refreshes and tones
Disadvantages: Expensive

...a wide range of treatments for men and women (see my review on uruku for more information.) The product ----------------- This toner is directly aimed at dry, mature and combination skin types and is supposed to help to restore skin’s moisture balance. The toner is blended with sodium hyaluronate (a sugar derived humectant which is a substance that promotes retention of moisture) and Echinacea and also rosewater.

Advantages: Easy to use, Great texture, Nice smell, NO build-up
Disadvantages: not all that good for really dry hair

I use Rosemary and Mint conditioner as my everyday conditioner. I have pretty good hair condition most of the time. I find that this water based conditioner from Aveda a real essential. It does not leave my hair heavy or fly away it just leaves it feeling naturally soft and smooth. I use Rosemary and mint conditioner after every wash regardlesss of which Aveda shampoo I am using from the range, alternating with a colour treatment conditioner about once a week. If you have very dry hair however you may need to use one of the other conditioners from the range. The Rosemary and Mint is lightest of all the conditioners in the Aveda range. It also may need to be supplimented with a treatment... Read review
