While I’m genuinely excited about every post I write for Charmingly Styled, today is an especially exciting post because I get to share with you a brand-new product that I absolutely love! Trying new products is one of my favorite parts about blogging (especially beauty products) and today I’ve partnered with Pantene to share their new Intense Rescue Shots product. See more below on why I’m obsessed and incorporating them into my new beauty routine! Good morning, friends! It’s been a beautiful last week in Chicago, and I’m so excited that spring is finally starting to feel like it’s (slowly) making its way to the city. The sun is out more, and staying out longer throughout the day, and everyone genuinely looks like they’re in a better mood and loving life. And it’s honestly given me a little pep in my step and motivation when it comes to getting my life together – whether it’s spring cleaning, being more productive at work, or getting myself together in the beauty and wellness department. I’ve been making my way to yoga more and doing a better job at taking care of myself/adding more self-care into my routine too. There’s something about shedding your winter self and getting a fresh start with spring, and I’ve felt like I’ve been more motivated to take care of both my skin and my hair, since winter was so hard on both this year. My hair has felt so dry – and has looked pretty damaged, despite my big haircut a few months ago. I needed serious hydration and a treatment that would help prevent split ends – which is where Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots come in! Pantene Pro-V imported one of Brazil’s hair secrets to the U.S. in the form of their new Intense Rescue Shots. It’s their most potent repair product yet, and each shot is fortified with a deeply absorbing blend of B5, strengthening lipids and natural glycerin that gives it shine and resistance from harsh weather and environmental factors (like Chicago weather!). I love that it’s a damaged hair treatment that has actually made my hair sleeker and less damaged after the bitter winter cold of the Midwest, and gives me salon-like hair between my usual trips to a salon. All you do is use your typical shampoo (my favorite is Pantene Sheer Volume!) and rinse before adding a full capsule of the Pantene Pro-V’s Intense Rescue Shots. I put it in my hair from root to tip and let sit for 30 seconds and rinse for 30 seconds to really make sure the benefits of the product set into my hair and have time to fully moisturize and work its magic. Once you wash it out and dry your hair as usual, you’ll see (and feel!) a difference in your hair pretty instantaneously. I typically blow dry my hair, and I love that Pantene Intense Rescue Shots help with my heat styled hair too! Each pack comes with 3 capsules, so you can use them as a treatment system – and I’m planning to use one ampoule of the Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shot each week for the next few weeks to make sure my hair is totally recovered from the winter blues. It’s so much better when it feels nicer outside, and you have the added bonus of rocking hair you feel confident with! Anyone else feeling newly reinvigorated now that it’s starting to feel like spring? Whether it’s spring cleaning, improving yourself mentally or physically, or finding ways to enjoy the warmer weather – I’d love to know how your celebrating too! I’m already feeling so much better, and getting a little more inspired to go back at blogging even more in the coming weeks. Hopefully the motivation and excitement for warmer weather will last long into summer! Xx
