Transforming scrub This won't be found in a Michael Bay film, but it's a new formula that starts as a gel scrub and transforms into a milky lotion that hydrates the skin. L'Occitane Immortelle Brightening Instant Exfoliator, $36 contains pure organic immortelle essential oil, which is extracted from the flower that grows on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and has been shown through in vitro tests to naturally boost collagen synthesis and cell renewal for younger, more luminous looking skin.

I've tried the Keratase and it's great at protecting my new hair color.

Wish I could afford the high tech machines...However definately not sold on any of the products. Sunscreen, antioxidants always good regardless of product name. Just make sure it is housed in a container that will not allow it to become useless.....a tube that is opague or pumb bottle that is not clear.
