February's Dr Organic Empties

I've recently (within the past few months) fallen in love with Dr Organics. I'm not an advocating the purely vegetarian products, I'm not sure who would want to put snail-gel on their faces. However, I love their aloe and tea-tree products, which have done wonders for my ezcema and folliculitis prone skin. I get all my products from Holland and Barrett, which is where I have linked you all.

Dr Organic Aloe Vera Shampoo and Dr Organic Aloe Vera Conditoner

Before I went cruelty-free I used to use Aussie's Mega Shampoo and Conditioner. This is because I wash my hair everyday; if I don't it feels greasy and lank, my head feels hot and bothered. I needed a cheap-ish shampoo and conditioner that didn't weigh my hair down and made it feel cleansed and refreshed. Not only does it feel clean, it also helps add some moisture back to my dyed hair - especially if I've just dyed it. I am naturally a dark blonde, but I like being lighter. This combo makes my hair feel normal, and not ratty and dry like it would do normally.
It's also very good at making my hair lie flat. When I was younger I had very curly hair, which fell out to just waves (and some curls around my face). This shampoo and conditioner combo makes those curls turn to gorgeous waves, and I really like the way my hair looks with it.

Dr Organic Tea Tree Skin Lotion

This lotion has been a life saver for my whole body. Yes, it may smell to high heaven - I didn't expect it to smell that tea-tree-y - it's helped to reduce the ingrown hairs and nasty red lumps I have. Tea-tree is antibacterial, and this stuff works much better than the stuff my doctor prescribed. It also leaves my skin feeling moisturised, which keeps my ezcema happy. Though I still do have some dry patches on my collar bones, the rest of my body feels pretty darn good. I'm not sure what else to say about this product, other than if you also suffer with dry skin and the occasional infection in that or otherwise, I really suggest picking up a bottle of this. In Holland and Barrett, they tend to be buy one get one free.

My next shampoo and conditioner buy are the Sukin Purifying Shampoo and the Nourishing Conditioner. I got mine from TK Maxx, but they sell them in Holland and Barrett too. Once I've used them, I'll give you my first impressions.
