Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil
So here's my first blog about a product I tried out as a Bzzagent. I received this product for free for review purposes.
First here is what I reported to BzzAgent.com about the product I received.
Pros: It absorbs quickly into the skin and makes skin silky soft and healthy looking. I mostly used it on my arms, hands, and legs and liked the results. I have super dry skin especially in the winter.
Cons: This product has an overwhelming scent to it when first applied. I have fine to medium hair. I have tried using this both before I dry my hair and after. Either way my hair ends up weighed down and clumpy, like I haven't washed it in a week. I have yet to try spraying the stuff on my hands first then lightly touching my hair with it as this might work, but spraying from 6-8 inches away as suggested still leaves my hair weighed down by too much getting on my hair. Also, don't use this product before using a hair straightener otherwise the oil will cause the straightener to smoke.
I did try spraying it on my hands first before applying to my hair and this was much much better, but my hair still had that haven't washed in a week greasy look to it.
What I really like about this product is it contains olive, avocado, and Shea oils. These oils have wonderful healing properties for the skin and apparently for hair as well. I suspect my hair has enough moisture in it that adding this oil to my hair was not a positive thing. (Maybe it's my wonderful new shampoo and conditioner from Happy Hausfrau Soap Company, hhsoap.com, review later.) My skin however gets so dry in the winter time. I am constantly in search of things that will keep it moisturized. This stuff seems like it would be helpful, but honestly the scent makes this an undesirable product for me. I'm not sure what the scent is, maybe they add fragrance (the bottle is upstairs right now), because I've smelled those oils before and they don't smell like this stuff. I think this would be an excellent product if they did not add any fragrance to it. I'll probably still use this bottle on my legs until it is gone.
If you like heavy fragrance the price is awesome, only $5.99 for a bottle that will last a very long time even if you use it on your entire body. A little goes a long way even on my dry skin.
