I regularly buy shower gels. However not all of them are pleasant equally. Of course, there are already loved – which and for skin are pleasant, and have inspiring aroma. But from time to time I after all try new. One of my last experiments - the Moisturizing Hamamelis Yves Rocher shower gel.
Witch-hazel. Alive I never met it. And it is not surprising: in the central part of Russia it it seems as does not grow. Here unless camomiles yes a burdock – too excellent plants with curative properties. And this exotic bush can be met in East Asia, North America and in certain areas in the Caucasus. It grows and in Europe, but only in so-called "pharmaceutical kitchen gardens".
It has rigid leaves, bushes yellow florets, a fruit – in the form of a small box blossom. Fruits of this plant contain high percent of essential oil, and in bark and branches of a witch-hazel there are knitting substances, as caused its application in medicine and the perfumery industry. The witch-hazel has the calming and softening properties.
Well, and my acquaintance to a witch-hazel took place thanks to Yves Rocher. It was the bottle of 300 ml issued in white-green color scale. Such coloring – the obvious instruction on the fact that during creation of this cosmetic product natural ingredients are used.
Indeed: the washing basis of plant origin, in structure - witch-hazel extract, vegetable glycerin. On packing it is especially noted that gel does not contain components of animal origin.
I felt natural components on a smell. The grassy and wood aroma, though not really strong, but nevertheless is felt when opening a bottle. Well, the natural aroma also cannot be sharp. On my personal associations, began to smell more men's. That is, if to present perfume with such smell, then in my perception it is one men's, not ladies'. But gel is declared as ideal means for all family.
Well, with this smell to me further the bathroom not to go. Anyway call it unpleasant I cannot. And nevertheless it is more important as gel will behave on skin. It is very liquid, I will tell you, easily spreads. Long ago such liquid did not get. And not especially foams. But it razmylivatsya if intensively to work with a bast, quite well.
On packing it is noted that means is suitable for sensitive skin. Perhaps, it is all about it. For me it too gentle, too quiet. Therefore I did not take a special satisfaction from its use. I want that impact on skin was more notable. And with the gel stated as means for sensitive skin, it, probably, in principle it is impossible.
At the same time the rn-neutral acid-base balance is felt: the condition of skin after washing remains quite comfortable, there is no feeling of tightness, but also an impression that it is washed not completely out, no.
In general, it is ready to estimate means as normal, the money spent for it, I do not consider wasted (I use a bottle up to the end with quiet heart). But another time I will hardly take. And, for example, to buy as a gift to the sister or the girlfriend, I will not be solved. Perhaps, partly because, that among all variety of shower gels I already have favourites. I willingly try all new. But it is allowed to take the place with the best samples not to each means.
