Gwen’s Blends Natural Hair and Skin Care

I am always looking for new skin and hair care products. The nice folks over at Gwen's Blends sent me some of their products to try out.  These products are made with real natural super foods and ingredients. Let's check out what I got to sample:

Healthy Hair Kit

You don't need much shampoo or conditioner to get your hair clean. Use water to help incorporate it all over your hair. The shampoo is one of those that doesn't have all the chemicals that give you lather so don't expect any. Great for extremely dry hair. Really  moisturizes. Conditioner can be  left in or rinsed out your choice. Healthy Hair Kit also includes Hair lotion. This can be used on wet or dry hair to add an extra layer of healthy moisture to your hair. No sulfates. No silicones.

For the healthiest hair ever, our healthy hair kit does the trick. It includes a Hair Lotion, Good Hair Shampoo,

and Good Hair Conditioner. It's all that you will need for shiny healthy moisturized hair. It's a healthy blend.

Shampoo Bar

This is a great way to be Eco-friendly and cut down on plastic bottles in your life. Shampoo Bar has a bit of a lather and is easy to use. Just rub between hands and apply to hair.

It looks like soap, but it's shampoo... in a bar form. The shampoo bar still contains all the beneficial ingredients for your hair ( jojoba, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, and shea butter) and cleans without stripping your hair of all its oils. The shampoo bar is perfect for spot cleaning your hair, like cleaning your scalp. It leaves your hair and scalp soft and squeaky clean. There's no bottle to throw away and less waste. Enjoy this eco-friendly shampoo. Cut the bar into slices or use the whole bar. Scented with essential oils that keep your hair healthy. This natural hair product is a favorite among men, and it smells great!

Antioxidant Lotion

This light lotion goes on super easy leaving behind soft luscious skin.

This blend does more than moisturize your skin.  It's packed with antioxidants which fight free radicals.  So, not only does it moisturize your skin, it turns the clock back and prevents the signs of premature aging like wrinkles and age spots. This lotion is loaded with naturally derived Vitamin E, which your skin will be happy to absorb. What's more; it's light enough for use as a facial lotion, and yet moisturizing enough for tougher skin on the remainder of the body.  This light formula is perfect for oily skin. Use it on the face or all over.  

Rich in Vitamins and Antioxidants 

Body Glo Cream

I got to try lavender. Smells awesome. Gives skin a beautiful healthy glow. The scent lingers. I love this one.

An ordinary name just would not do. This is no ordinary cream. It's not a jelly or a butter. It's not a potion or a lotion. It deserves its own category — body glo. And boy, does this blend make your body glow from the inside out. How is that possible? This natural bath and body product proves to be the perfect total body moisturizer.   It is a special blend of natural food-grade ingredients like aloe vera gel, grapeseed oil, shea butter, and Vitamin E. It's been credited with anti-aging effects, skin firming and tightening, moisturizing the driest cracked skin, and even alleviating skin conditions like eczema.  It contains a healthy spf created from the special blend of oils ( shea butter, aloe, Vitamin E), and lightly protects from sunburn.  Plus, it really does give your skin a youthful glow ( not a blinding headlights glow.) It's non-greasy and won't leave a car polish shine.  Apply as often as needed to hydrate and nourish the skin. Paraben, Alcohol, and Petroleum Free

You just cant go wrong with the KQC X-HEAT recommended with 100% confidence by Flat Iron Experts. Tourmaline / Ceramic Technology: KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Straightener’s distributes heat across the entire surface evenly, retains heat more efficiently, and eliminates damaging hot spots. Ceramic emits a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat that helps your hair

1. Preserve more moisture within the hair shaft

2. Eliminates frizz and close the cuticle to create smooth and shiny hair

3. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle during styling

 

Negative Ion Technology: Negative ions are atoms that can stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, etc., resulting in healthier hair and scalp. Negative ion energy is powerful enough to break apart clusters of water molecules. The smaller water molecules penetrate into the hair shaft by slipping between the cuticles, adding plumpness/volume to hair. The bombardment of negative ions also closes the hair cuticle, which is very good for the health and appearance of the hair.

Far Infrared Heat : Far Infrared (FIR) rays are electro-magnetic waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, including the hair shaft. It therefore dries the hair from the inside out. The result is that more moisture remains in the hair shaft and there is less damage to the hair.
