Current Favorite Douche Products.




I Think it's time for me to share my current favorite douche products.These products, I have been using for a very long time and loving them. More over they are easily available in almost all supermarkets. Okie without further ado, let's start !

Palmolive Thermal Spa Mineral Massage Shower Gel Review



Palmolive Shower Gel claims:

The secrets of thermal massage transported to your shower! With white clay and thermal minerals, its unique formula provides a gentle scrubbing action and massage kind of an experience. Your skin feels velvety soft and your body is relaxed in a delightful home spa experience! Palmolive thermal spa shower gel can be used with a loofah or by hand.

How to use:

Pour a little Palmolive Thermal spa shower gel on your wet loofah. Apply gently over your wet skin. For best results, use loofah to work up rich, fragrant lather before rinsing off.

My views about this product:



Firstly,I am giving ++ for the packaging. Very hygienic and the flip flop is tight enough from letting the product spill out. After every wash my skin feels fresh and soo soft, I don't know whether its because of Thermal salt & White clay content in it.  Freshens up enough and mild  fragrance keeps lingering in my skin throughout the day. I don't think anybody can have sensitive nose than me but this didn't give me headache or any kind of allergies to my skin. The colour they have chosen for packaging makes me feel like, I am in beach :) I Love this product a lot. I have been using this for months. Hope they release in small sizes soon for making it travel friendly.

Price:

Rs.135 for 250 ml.

Clean and Clear Morning Energy Face Wash: Energizing Lemon



My views about this product:

When I go and pick a face wash or face mask I always pick the one which has lemon content in it because, I believe that only lemon can clean my face :P. This one after use makes my face bright. It does have some brightening effect which is though temporary yet impressed me. The yellow beads in the liquid work as a gentle, mild scrub and clean my face. After wash, it leaves behind a bright, glowing and happy face. Clean and clear company is a pioneer, they released in different quantities which helped me to leave behind the large one at home and carry a small bottle out. It doesn't clog pores or cause redness. This product never gave me a thought to try another face wash. I am on my fifth bottle. I even tried strawberry flavor but according to me lemon won over it.


Price:



Rs.95 for 250 ml.

Vega Soft Sponge Brush.



My views :



This is not my first bath brush I have tried two or three of some other brands, but the brush's fiber would come out of it or it would scratch me. This one I guess is made for my skin type. I use palmolive shower gel along with this and it makes my skin squeaky clean (i feel like I took bath only after using this!! ) . It has two parts in it out of which one is for cleaning and other is for massaging. The part in the second image is for massaging our knee,elbow,feet and so on. So this does multi-tasking. That's why I like using this brush. Maybe daily usage may make our skin dry so I use on alternative days. Its been 2 months and still the fibers of this brush din't get torn or came out. I recommend this brush to all of you, who have serious concern about keeping skin super clean.

Price:

Rs.100.


I would like to share that I am so happy for Narendra modi becoming PM and Jayalalitha becoming CM(Tamil Nadu). My hearty congratulations to them :) I have faith that they will make India a better country soon(Fingers crossed !!). Coming to my novel part, I have started Vampire Academy Series and I am left with 40 pages in the first part ( I wish I had compelling and healing powers like lizza!! ). What would you do if you get those power ?

Biotique Chlorophyll Gel Review


Hiiii!!!   I found it little late, but not too late,Aloe Vera it is!! This makes our skin soft and spot-free(^-^). Aloe Vera is considered as a sacred source of nature, it contains vitamins including A, C, E, folic acid, choline, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6. This has 90% of water content, it hydrates our skin and keeps it look healthy.If you have aloe vera planted in your home(You Lucky),cut the stem and place it in the fridge then rub it all over your skin that gives a soothing effect for which you may be burning your pocket in the parlor. Only if you don't have it in home ,go for products.Whenever I get breakout my mom would advise me to use aloe vera which I hardly hear.One month back when I went to mall I was checking for some good face mask and my mom from behind me spotted this product and told me to get it(Okie,just to appease her I got this one that time) 


Biotique claims

This refreshing, anti-bacterial moisturizer is blended with chlorophyll and extracts of seaweed, sea algae, aloe vera and gum Arabic to tighten pores, avert blemishes, and keep skin nourished and clear without flaking.

Ingredients

Chinai ghas (Gelidium amansii), Kuda (Holorrhenna antidysenterica), Ghrit kumari (Aloevera indica), Kikkar gaund (Acacia Arabica), Samundir Kai (Gelidium amansii), Himalayan Water Q.S.

How to use it

Apply evenly over cleansed face and neck, morning and evening, to refresh skin. Also recommended for post hair removal, to soothe and condition the skin against redness and irritation.

Price: Rs. 199(Keeps increasing don't know why). 

My personal views about this product:
·        Finish-This is a green color gel which is very thin.Once I massage it all over  face it forms a thin layer over face but did not leave any color on me.It does have a cooling effect which makes me happy after application .I would best suggest to use this product as night skin care avoiding your mouth area.

·        Consistency- It has very thin and flowing consistency, but not running. It does make your face sticky :(

·        Fragrance-It has a mild fragrance that lasts only till applying.So people with sensitive noses like me need not worry about it.

·        Packaging- Its a tub with a cover.Personally, I don't like tub packaging that too for acne treatment they shouldn't keep tub packaging as we have to use it carefully every time.

·        Result-This product reduced my black spots considerably and evens out my skin.This keeps my skin hydrated and healthy.For this one reason I recommend this to all.But it wouldn't totally stop acne but definitely reduce occurrence and its size.I would say this product is better than astringents(Why did i spend so much on it?? Sigh!!) as those dehydrated my skin badly :(

·        Availability -This one is available in all shopping website (www.nykaa.com)  some local super markets and in Malls.You can buy this in their own site too.                                                                                                        

What I think could have been better:

·         Packaging-If i see a person working in biotique i would say "Please change it to tube or with a flip-flop cover or else at least the color,its boring".

·         Sticky-It does make your face sticky after application. 

Will I re-purchase this product:

  • Yeah!!..Till i find a non-sticky one with good packaging or till i start growing my own aloe vera plant.

Just curious I want to know how many people love to wear green color ??Actually i started liking green colour aftering seeing the saree samantha wore in em mayam chesave.
Okie coming to my book time. Now The edge of never is passing my time.This is a romantic novel.If i number it then  this would be my third romantic novel.I am half way through it and got attached to it when the  bus journey started(In the novel).Will tell about my journey through the book in my next post.
ByeBye..!!

Lotus herbals 3-in-1 Sunblock Review

Hello All, today I am going to share with you ideas for how to keep our skin young and glowing
After all Precaution is better than cure right?
Do you guys know the sun is the major cause of wrinkles?
Yes, it is.
Why do we need to wear sunscreen?
Sunrays have UVA and UVB rays
UVA rays-
·       Damages inner lying cells and major cause of premature aging. 90% of wrinkles are caused by the sun (Ugh…!).
·       It also has melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma, two types of skin cancer cells
UVB rays-
·       This causes sunburns and tanning.
So to have a glowing and young skin we need to have a sunscreen no matter whether you are a boy or girl.
How to choose a sunscreen depends upon how long you are going to be exposed to the sun. Even on a cloudy day, you need to wear sunscreen as UVA\UVB can penetrate through clouds.
SPF-Sun Protection Factor it is. This protects you from UVB (You don’t get a tan and no to sunburns). While buying a sunscreen see whether it has a minimum of SPF 15, because it can protect your skin for 150 minutes (2 hour and 30 mins). Going for SPF 30 can protect your skin for 300mins (5hr).
PA+- Protection Grade of UVA (PA) this gives protection against UVA rays (You are safe from wrinkles and skin cancer). The more the +’s the more you are safe from sun. Chemicals which give us these are avobenzone, oxybenzone, mexoryl, zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Talking about the product, I opted for
LOTUS HERBALS 3-in-1 MATTE LOOK DAILY SUNBLOCK.

The Product claims to give

  • Sun Protection
  • Skin Lightening
  • Mattifying
I opted for this because it has SPF 40 and PA+++.

   How to Use:

Apply liberally and evenly on face and exposed parts of the body (neck, arms, legs, etc.) before exposure to sun. Re-apply frequently.

 Ingredients:

Water, talcum, kaolin light, glycerine, polyacrylamideC13-14 Isoparaffin laureth-7, oxybenzoene,octyl methoxy cinnamate, titanium dioxide, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, isopropyl myristare,cyclopentasiloxane, elcosene, copolymer, fumed silica, 2- phenoxyethanol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone, red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, fragrance.


My personal views about this product:

  • SPF 40 & P+++-It has everything a good sunscreen should have Jthis one protects us from both UVA & UVB rays.
  • Hygienic Packaging- It comes in orange tube with a flip-flop cap. Flip cap is sturdy and travel friendly
  • Fragrance-It has a mild fragrance similar to fair ever (if you have ever used). It lasts only till the applying stage. After which there is no fragrance.
  • Consistency- It has very thin and flowing consistency which goes matte on blending. It is non-greasy and non-sticky.
  • Since I have combination skin, I prefer matte ones. It is not heavy or thick, which is a surprise for a matte sun block though..!
  • Finish-It gives a matte finish. Hence, people with dry skin need to moisturize their face before applying. It’s a boon for oily skin beauties out there. It does not leave a white cast. Since it is tinted (Sandal wood colour), it gives a sheer coverage so ladies out there can go with this product for a daily wear.
  • Price-It comes in 2 quantities, 50g and 100g.I got this in 100g which is priced Rs.345.

What I think could have been better:

  • Price is not bad yet if it’s lessened a little then it’s great.
  • The Only draw bag is that the product tends to get accumulated near the mouth of the tube :).

       Where did I get this product:

  • www.amazon.in
  • I recommend you all to purchase a (this) sunscreen to keep your skin young and live :).
  • Guys I am currently reading THE CUCKOO’S CALLING novel…so far so good:). If you guys know any good novel, share it with me. I would love to hear from you. That’s all for now catch you guys soon.
