August Favourites: The Body Shop, John Frieda, and Organisation....

Technology: My new Sony Xperia Tipo! I finally replaced my old Sony Ericsson with a smart phone, after 4 years!

Reading: I got 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' (Tracy Chevalier) from the library, and am really enjoying it. It's classic historical fiction set in the 17th Century Dutch home of painter Vermeer.  

Skincare: I've been testing different moisturisers for dry/sensitive skin and really like this Vitamin E Moisture Lotion (SPF 15) by The Body Shop. It's a nice light moisture layer for the summer.

Haircare: Before blow-drying my hair I've been using John Frieda Frizz-Ease Heat Defeat protective styling spray. It leaves a nice glossy shine.

Homeware: I bought a 3-set of white wicker organiser baskets for my room and really like them. £20 from TVC.

Clothes: I've been loving the lace-trim jersey tank tops that I found in H&M for £7.99. I got one of navy blue and one in black. Abercrombie look for less!

CURRENT Sensitive and Dry Skin Shower Products

I have medium-length fine, dry hair and sensitive skin, and find that most average shampoo, conditioners and shower gels agrivate or dry them out more. To counteract this I use this routine: 

I wash my hair (twice!) every other day. Using Pantene gives shine to my dry hair and stops it getting too oily, T/Gel works on dandruff and dry scalps, blow-drying (after applying heat-protectant) my hair flipped upside down volumizes my limp hair.  

Here are the products I'm currently using in the shower to tackle my dry and sensitive scalp, skin and hair:

Olay Body Age Protect Moisture Body Wash

Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Coal Tar (Dry hair) Shampoo

Pantene Pro-V Smooth & Sleek Shampoo

Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine (All Hair Types) Conditioner

What are your secret beauty products for dry/sensitive hair and skin?
