Hello,
So I love trying out new products. However, over the past few years my skin has become rather "sensitive" to certain skin care products and other things alike and hence, the end result is me having red skin which is accompanied by flared up pustules (it is really itchy as well). Pustules are a form of acne that contain pus in them (they can be both small and big).
However, the things mentioned in this blog post, were NOT things that DIRECTLY CAUSED my acne. Although they did play a role in flaring it up.
The reason I am writing this today is more for anyone who might have or is experiencing what my skin tends to experience. About a year ago, I suffered from a horrible bout of acne (I still do suffer from breakouts, especially allergic reactions). This in no way means that I am not pimple/acne free, I still do get acne when my period comes about (due to changes in hormone levels). It started during the end of 2013 and lasted all the way till starting of 2015 until my skin started to get slightly better.
I am about to list the things that I believe kind of played a vital role in my breakouts. Mind you ladies and gentleman who are reading this post, my pimples are not a pretty sight and I did suffer a lot from it because I had people telling me to use all different kinds of things on my face to "CURE" it. I even had people tell me how horrible my skin looked. It is hard for me to write this because this post contains pictures but I feel it is important to put this out.
NeverthelessI feel determined to share the little bit that I know and have experienced. Do not mind me not posting pictures of my whole face though.
This post is going to be lengthy as it contains in depth information of what my skin has been through.

Cruelty Free Hair product in Singapore: Botaneco Garden Organic Argan and Vigin Olive Oil shampoo and conditioner review
Hello,
As well as good day to you, who is reading this post. You might not know but I, love to keep a constant look out for products that are cruelty free (no animal testing, no animal derived ingredients or both). My believe; we do not have to hurt those beautiful animals in order to look beautiful ourselves! I recently made a trip down to a guardian (Singapore) located close to where I live. My mission: to find a cost effective cruelty-free shampoo.
What was the outcome? Mission= SUCCESS!!!!
While walking through the aisles of the store, I came across a shampoo which was retailing for SGD 7.90. The conditioner was retailing for SGD 7.90 as well. However, that was not what caught my attention, what got my attention was out of all the shampoos and conditioners there, this one was not tested on animals (and it was priced underneath SGD 10)! I could swear that my heart did a little internal jump for joy. The name of the shampoo and conditioner: Botaneco Garden Organic Argan and Virgin Olive Oil (shampoo and conditioner). For some reason the name impressed me as well (or maybe it was the addition of argan and olive oil).
The shampoo and conditioner are both free from parabens, soap, colorants, SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and lanolin.
The shampoo claims enhance the shine of the hair leaving it soft and glossy, while the conditioner claims to nourish, soften and detangle hair leaving it smooth and manageable. Both contain 290ml worth of product.
My verdict
Pros
* Shampoo has a light and pleasant smell
* Not tested on animals
*Does not leave any residue on the hair.
* My hair did get shinier after a few washes
* Does a good job at being a mild and basic shampoo
Cons
Although this shampoo was well priced and it promised quite a few things, it didn't help my curly and rather dry hair. What comes to my mind when I think of oil infused shampoo's and conditioner's is more moisturised hair. However that did not happen
Although this shampoo did not exactly work for my curly hair, that does not mean this pleasant smelling and light weight shampoo will not do you any good. Like I believe, you will never know till you try. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have regarding cruelty free products and I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. I end this post with lots of love and good wishes. Have a great week ahead.
Love,
