Human Heart Nature Heritage Oil: Rosemary Oil

Human Heart Nature has come up with exciting Heritage Oils: Rosemary, Orange, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, and Lavender. I was torn between Lavender and Orange. After a long debate, I finally chose one heritage oil and that suits what I need.

I've decided to purchase their Rosemary Oil. I absolutely love the scent: very relaxing and melts my heart every time. Plus it's wonderful addition to my hair care routine every week. If you want to know how I do it, read on.

Rosemary Oil 10ml | Php295

Mind & Mane Boost

A universal symbol of memory, sprigs of rosemary were thought to help keep one's senses focused and alert with their invigorating scent. Rosemary oil has also earned a reputation as a traditional tonic to help boost the growth of healthy hair.

Ingredients:

caprylic/capric triglyceride, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) stem essential oil

I had short hair back in October 2013, and just a year ago, I wanted to see a different me and let my hair grow longer. (Currently past my shoulder) I feel extra girly. I visited my hairdresser just 3 weeks ago to get a trim and got myself bangs. Was she surprised to see me because it has been 15 months since I last visited her salon. I am searching online for any quick and natural way to keep my hair healthy. I had an awful experience at some salons who used harsh chemicals on my hair which left it dry, almost like a broom. Good thing my hair regained back its lush... or else.

When I found this Rosemary Oil and read how it is perfect for my crown and glory, I knew this is the one. Was I jumping with joy when I got home with the rest of the stuff I purchased at Human Heart Nature. :)

Here's how I make my own natural hot oil for my hair. Olive Oil has also tons of wonderful benefits and one of them is for our hair. I like to do this hair mask once a week before I take a shower. You can read my previous post about this here.

• 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil*
• 2-3 drops of Rosemary Oil
• Shower cap or plastic bag

*It depends how much product your hair needs. Adjust accordingly. It is also suggested to use Human Heart Nature's Sunflower Oil... but I decided to change it up. A little rebel of me, eh!

Pour the olive oil in a small bowl and let it heat in a microwave for 15-20 seconds. Do not exceed the time limit. You just want to make it warm. We do not want to burn yourself nor your beautiful hair! Add 2-3 drops of rosemary oil. Massage the oil onto your scalp. Cover your hair with shower cap or plastic bag to trap heat for half an hour. Rinse it off with warm water; do not use hot or cold water! My hair feels soft after I take a bath. I'm struggling with hair fall though I've read some reviews this Rosemary Oil helped managed their hair fall.

Come to think of it, after my haircut 3 weeks ago, my hair got longer. Well, of course, our hair obviously grows long, but my hair seemed to have grown a little faster... and it is just the end of January. :)

Here are some other ways you can use with Rosemary Oil:

Strengthened Strands

Add a few drops of Rosemary Oil to your favourite Strengthening Shampoo. Gently work it into a rich lather on your hair. Rinse thoroughly.

Scalp & Tresses Treat

In a small bowl, combine Sunflower Beauty Oil with a few drops of Rosemary Oil until well-blended. Massage the mixture onto your scalp and slowly comb through your hair down to the tips with your fingers. Cover your hair with a shower cap and over it, a soft bath towel. Leave it on for half an hour, then rinse well.

Invigorating Delight

For an extra boost of concentration, put a few drops of Rosemary Oil in your index and middle fingers and gently rub them together to warm the oil. Place your fingertips on your temples and slowly massage, starting from the ends of your eyebrows, circling up towards your hairline and back down again.

Pretty Power Up

Fill the bowl on top of an essential oil burner with water and add a fews drops of Rosemary Oil. Place a lighted tea candle under the bowl. For a quarter of an hour, pamper your locks with Daily hair Treatment and de-stress your skin with Detoxifying Mask + Scrub as the scent of rosemary energises your senses.

Quick Frazzle Fix

Feeling out of focus? Take a quick break from work or studying. Put a few drops of Rosemary Oil on your palms and cup over your mouth and nose for up to a minute.

It feels luxurious! A definite treat for my hair. Any girl would love to do a hair treatment right in the comfort of their home. 

This Rosemary Oil is a little expensive for a 10ml bottle. For any wise shopper, be sure to check their Facebook page and website for updates and special offer! Take advantage of it while you still can. But was it worth it? Yes it does because it de-stresses you after a long day and makes hair healthy with regular use and proper diet. Everyone knows you can't rely on a product alone without working from the inside out, right?

Check the expiry date. Store below 35 degrees Celsius & away from direct sunlight.

THE FACE SHOP Mango Seed Oil to Foam

I have mistaken this cleansing oil to this Oil Cleansing Method I've read a year ago. The concept of washing my oily face with another oil intrigues me, so I bought this yummy mango scent. BUT, I was wrong. This Mango Seed Oil to Foam is suited for removing make-up. And the thing is, I don't wear make-up -- unless it is a special occasion.

Mango Seed Oil to Foam 200ml | $20

A 2-in-1 cleansing foam that starts as cleansing oil but ends as cleansing foam helps remove make-up at once.

- Cleansing oil + cleansing foam type

- Melts make-up and impurities gently like cleansing oil

- Enables clean and refreshing cleansing without double cleansing

- Enriched moisturizing ingredient of mango seed protects skin to be moisturised after cleansing.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing pint make-up, pump a moderate amount to dry hands and rolls all over the face gently.

2. After melting make-up, create lather with water over hands and face.

3. Rinse off with warm water.

The packaging is really nice -- yellow and transparent which makes it easier for me to see how much product is left. It comes in a handy pump and a stopper to avoid overall accidents like spilling. I just  couldn't stand why this doesn't have a cap for hygienic purposes.

Before cleansing my face, I always make sure I wash my hands first to avoid transferring dirt. When I read the direction that I should pump some product on my dry hands, I made sure I washed my hands first and dried it good, then get enough cleansing oil and let it do the magic on my face.

It smells nice with all that lovely mango scent, but the oil was harsh on my skin. In just a few days, I got acne around my chin. I had to stop using it for a while and grab another gentle facial wash.

I saved a bit of the cleansing oil because I knew I had to wear make-up on one occasion. Make-up is so difficult to remove, and I want my skin to breathe before going to bed. As always I washed my hands and get them dried, then I pumped some product on my dry hands and applied it on my face in gentle circular motion. Next thing I knew, the make-up just dissolves, and with water it created a lather that makes skin clean and fresh without overdrying.

I can't say anything much else or compare it to any make-up remover because this is the first product I have tried. It does the job removing make-up with ease and leaves skin clean. Repeat the process if the make-up is a little stubborn to remove. Very handy for an oil turn into foam to wash our face with after all that make-up throughout the day or any event.

Next time, I should have asked first before purchasing.

I am still curious about the Oil Cleansing Method though. :)

Human Heart Nature MammoMe Natural Body Wash

What a grand idea! A body wash to remind us to do a self-check on our breasts in the shower with its heavenly sweet scent. That's just twice the fun as we take care of our body!

MammoMe Natural Body Wash 200ml | Php159.75

A body wash that helps us detect early possible signs of breast cancer by reminding us to conduct breast self-exams. A caring ally in our fight against breast dance right where we need it... in the shower.

Cares for your skin. Moisturizes and soothes skin with natural glycerin and aloe vera

Cares for fellow Filipinas. A portion of proceeds will go to the Philippine Foundation for Breast Care, Inc. (Kapuso Foundation) which helps provide treatment for indigent women with breast cancer

Cares for your health. A step-by-step reminder to do your breast self-exam while you bathe, helping you detect early signs of breast cancer.

100% No harmful chemicals. Free from hormone-disruption paragons & phthalates that have been linked to breast cancer.

The bottle is pink, which I love, is the color of Breast Cancer Awareness. At the back is a step-by-step guide (Look. Lift. Feel.) on how to do self-breast exam. It is important to become familiar with how your breasts look and feel. If you notice any lumps, changes or irregularities, see your doctor right away. The best time to perform a self-exam is 7-10 days from the first day of your period.

Its bubblegum scent pairs perfectly of their Berry Bliss lotion. It's okay; I like it. But part of me wants something new. I prefer chocolate, rosemary, lavender or vanilla scented body wash. Those scents are to die for! It lathers nice and leaves skin soft without the harsh chemicals. It didn't caused me bacne, dryness or allergies.

Just a note: This isn't a whitening product.

Check for the expiry date. Store below 35 degrees Celsius & away from direct sunlight.

Human Heart Nature: Kids Bath Soap Gummy Berry

One of my favourite candies are GUMMI BEARS! I love how chewy and sweet and colorful and cute and the memories I had eating this candy. I'm not talking just any gummi bear you can find. I'm quite particular when it comes to brand. I remember eating a whole bag of it just for me! :) And guess how excited I was when I found this soap with this yummy scent. I wanted to bathe myself with this and relinquish everything.

Kids Bath Soap: Gummy Berry 120g | Php74.75

- Lifts dirt and grime using gentle cleansers

- Non-drying

- Free from artificial hardeners and fragrances, SLS and SLES while natural glycerin from the soap's cold-processing helps keep your child's skin from drying unlike most chemical soaps.

The packaging is cute. I like that there is a trivial fact at the back which kids (and adults) will also learn something about wildlife. Inside is a white block of soap, with natural glycerin and cold-processed without any of that harmful chemicals, so you know you're giving your kids and yourself the best. Very bubbly and does leave skin moisturised after shower. Only thing is, I don't smell any of that gummy berry scent I was looking forward to. I was expecting that delicious berry scent because the gummi bears I know are sweet and very tempting. This soap doesn't bring that and my inner child is sad.

I hope they reformulate or add something like an oomph to this soap's scent because I hardly smelled anything.

Even still, this soap is awesome and any kid will surely love it.

Do remember to check the expiry date. Store below 35 degree Celsius & away from direct sunlight.

Chloe
