Deep Hair Repair from Live Native

Brenda — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 11:00:44 +0000

I have long thick hair that is very nice once it has been washed, but it does tend to get frizzy or knotty very easily and with it being so long, I often prefer to tie it up when working which also does not help its condition.

So I am thinking I may try out Deep Hair Repair from Live Native, made from only natural ingredients this could be the answer to my problems! Priced at £9.99 for 15ml.

A deeply penetrating coconut oil hair conditioning treatment, for men and women, that actively revitalizes as it absorbs to help reduce loss of protein from the hair shaft for full body and a healthy shine. Contains Rosemary, Tea Tree and Neem to improve circulation and maintain a healthy scalp.

USAGE

Melt a small amount in the palm of your hand then massage into hair and scalp. Repeat until your hair is lightly coated. Allow to absorb for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight and then wash thoroughly and condition as normal. Use smaller amounts every day to help reduce hair frizz.

Hot Product: Essential Beauty Serum from Live Native

Brenda — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 10:44:18 +0000

Beauty serums are bountiful right now with plenty to choose from.

But the new Essential Beauty Serum from Live Native stands out from the crowd because it:

Is 100% raw and 97.4% organic (see the impressive nature-intact ingredients list below)
Is high in antioxidants
Comprises living botanicals that haven’t been denatured through heat or processing
Is a handmade, fresh, living serum
Is nourishing with potent antioxidant-rich botanical oils

Is light and nourishing – use it day or night
Leaves no oily residue when applied sparingly – you can apply make-up five minutes after application
Instantly gives a glow and radiance
Can help reduce wrinkles and scar tissue.
Is suitable for all skin types – especially mature and dry skin

Quite simply, the Essential Beauty Serum provides an antioxidant boost with living botanicals to

restore radiant skin, tone and texture for a beautiful complexion.

Use Essential Beauty Serum sparingly!

After cleansing and while the skin is still damp, apply just three or four drops and massage all over the face and neck area. Tap it very lightly around the delicate eye area. Use it as a stand alone moisturiser in the morning and/or evening to replace heavy night creams or as an additional antioxidant boost underneath Essential Woman Moisturiser.

How to buy: Essential Beauty Serum costs £29.99 for 25ml from www.livenative.com or call 01599 530 367.
