Hi friends!
A week or so ago, I was stumped on what sort of blog post I should write; I couldn’t think of any fresh ideas. I was talking to one of my friends, and she suggested I should do a blog post on some gluten-free body and hair care items. I don’t have this allergy, but I know a lot of people do. And it just so happens that some of my favorite products I use in my hair and body care regimen are gluten-free. So I thought I’d share with you those items today…let’s get started!
Hair Care
I have used the L’Oreal EverPure Moisture Shampoo for as long as I can remember; I don’t remember what I even used last. The formula is so creamy, yet it washes from my hair cleanly and doesn’t leave behind a residue. The scent is also light and not artificial-smelling or cloying. This shampoo does such a nice job cleansing my hair. I will continue to repurchase! {$4; drugstores}
I have tried several different dry shampoos on the market, and this one has by far become my favorite: the Not Your Mother’s Royal Honey and Kalahari Desert Melon Dry Shampoo. Everything about this item is PERFECT! Most dry shampoos have that thick, starchy texture with a large white cast. However, this formula is the exact opposite; the tapioca and rice formula absorbs oils effectively, even if you spray a pound of it in your hair (we all have those days). Plus, the scent is HEAVEN; it’s the lightest, freshest scent that doesn’t smell like the standard, too-strong “clean” dry shampoo. The melon + honey notes are so fresh and fruity without being too sweet. I initially received this product for free from Influenster, but I will repurchase on my own (and already have). {$7; drugstores}
Body Care
I could go on and on with how much I love the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I’ve been faithfully using it now for the past two years. This is just the most wonderful moisturizer ever for body and face…yep, I said face! The formula is so light and whipped, and sinks right in to your skin within seconds. It is fragrance and allergen free. It is such a simple product, and worth every penny. I have travel-sized containers of this cream, as well as a super-sized tub. It. Is. The. Best. Buy some today; you won’t regret it! {$30; sephora or ulta}
I originally purchased the Josie Maran Argan Infinity Intensive Creamy Oil to use as a lip balm. However, it is such a nice all-in-one salve. Since it is argan oil-based, it obviously has a thicker, creamier texture than the above Ultra Repair Cream. With that being said, it still absorbs fairly quickly. I love the nutty, lemony scent that it has. In addition to a good hand or lip treatment, this creamy oil works as a lash serum, too. I have been applying a thin layer to my lashes before bed for the past week and a half or so. My lashes are more conditioned, thicker and slightly longer. {$28; sephora}

I can imagine how stressful it can be to find effective gluten-free hair and body care items. These are just a few, but I hope you will find this post helpful. If you have a favorite gluten-free product you think I should try, please let me know!
