Shine, Glow & Go comes in a clear bottle with a spray pump for easy dispensing. It's infused with VO5's signature 5 Essential Vitamins formula (vitamins E, H, C, B5 and B3) as well as 6 natural oils to nourish your hair and skin (Sunflower, Macadamia, Argan, Shea, Coconut, and Grapeseed).
Looking at the ingredient list for the first time, I was super impressed that I could pronounce and understand all of them- that's rare for a product you find at the supermarket or drugstore! It contains no mineral oil or other pore-clogging ingredients, so it actually absorbs into the skin and hair rather than sitting on top like a film. It also contains no silicones, parabens, or dyes.
The first time I used Shine, Glow & Go, I tried it on my hair, which is very fine and damaged from bleaching. Following the directions, I sprayed it on wet hair, combed it through and styled. It was actually too heavy for me to use this way, and left my hair a little greasy, so I think spraying it directly on your hair might be better suited to those with thick or coarse hair. The next time I used it, I sprayed it once into my hands, rubbed them together and then distributed it through the mid-shaft to ends of my hair. Much better! My split ends looked repaired and my hair was super shiny (and not weighed down). So if you have fine hair, my advice would be to use this sparingly and don't spray it directly into your hair. You can also use it sparingly on dry hair to add shine and smoothness.
I've also been using this in the shower as an all-over body treatment. I keep in inside the shower and as soon as I'm finished, I spray it all over damp skin to lock in the moisture (just watch out...it makes the floor slippery!). It does an incredible job of moisturizing my super-dry skin and it has a fresh, light scent that I really like!
Here's a before and after on my arm. In the first photo, you can see how dry, dull, and flaky my skin is, and in the second photo, my skin looks smooth and hydrated with a bit of a sheen where the light catches it.

We should always too much careful about what kind of products we are using for our skin and face. Thank you very much for sharing this kind of informative and interesting blog with us.
ReplyDeleteWow that IS really impressive. I find it very difficult to find anything at the drugstore that's not mineral oil based or loaded with chemicals. This is about as natural as it gets and cheap too! I'll be on the lookout for this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI will look for this! The all natural oil blends like this all cost a lot at the "expensive" stores but this is really reasonable. Thank you for this post. I haven't seen it in stores yet but I will definitely start checking.
ReplyDeleteI really like the fragrance and it leaves my face feeling silky and smooth. I'm using it for my skin and hair. You really can't beat the ingredients. This is quickly becoming one of my staple products.
