Skincare : Vedic Line Papaya Scrub Review!

I have dry skin and that is justification enuf to use scrubs once or twice a week ;)

• The packaging is sturdy and consists of a tub with a screw on lid and an additional lid inside to prevent spillage. It is travel friendly but not hygienic.
• The scrub has a muddy color and has a fruity fragrance. The smell is a little overpowering but it does not turn me off.I am quite okay with it.

• It has a creamy texture with not so gritty black scrub particles. The scrub particles are not harsh thou it may seem so from the looks of it. Never felt abrasive on my skin.
• U need medium amounts of it to scrub ur face and neck.But u get a lot in the tub. So this will last long.
• Priced at Rs.275 for 100 ml. Little pricey but u do get a lot of product.
• Skin feels softer and smoother after using the product.
• Due to the creamy texture, dry skin ladies will like it :) 
• Does not dry out my skin.
• It provides little glow to the skin that lasts for a day.

• I do not suffer from acne :touchwood: so I cannot vouch for the "keeping the skin clear" claim. But yes it makes my skin look smooth :)
• Did not irritate my skin or make it sensitive. But as mentioned do not scrub hard. Be gentle on ur skin :) 
• Does not contain Parabens  :) 
• Papaya in general is know to be an excellent antioxidant. Hence it aids against aging.

VERDICT:

If u are looking for a cream based scrub that is paraben free and keeps ur skin smooth then u will like it :)

Product sent by brand for Consideration. My opinion is honest as always swear to God ;)

Skincare: Vedic Line Sunscreen Gel Review!

Sunscreen is a very critical step in your skincare routine provided u have one ;)

It helps prevent pigmentation,sun spots,tanning and slows down aging.Most importantly, it reduces the risk of skin cancer :)

• The Sunscreen gel comes in an orangish yellow tub.The cap screws shut tightly :) Travel friendly but not hygienic.
• The sunscreen as mentioned is a creme gel.Sinks in instantly like a gel and is moisturizing like a cream :) The moisturization is obviously not as good as a proper moisturizer.

• I have never used a sunscreen that does not sweat under the hot humid Chennai Sun.And boy was I glad that this gel did not let me down :) It does not stain/melt off/make me sweat!
• Does not give a whitish cast.
• Gives a cooling sensation on application that lasts a few seconds.
• Since it gets absorbed I am not sure about it being waterproof.
• I can easily give this 5 out of 5 for the above pros but wait there is more!
• It is PARABEN FREE! and has natural ingredients.

• Neutrogena costs 150 bucks for 30 ml while u get 65 ml for 210/-with this.
• But the SPF is only 30. I just wish they had provided higher SPF like our Neutrogena that provides 50 + SPF :\

VERDICT:

This is one sunscreen that both dry and oily skin can easily take a liking to :) I think I will repurchase this for the coming summers (I am already dreading those months! )

Skincare: Olay Natural White Review and Swatches!

Olay has been my HG moisturizer for a lot of summers :)

I did not buy it for the fairness claims which is of course a marketing gimmick! Any skincare u wanna sell tag it with these words : Lightens,fairness,white skin tone and lo it will sell like a hot cake!

I had actually forgotten my moisturizer on a 2 day trip silly me! I went to a nearby pharmacy and the sachet caught my eye.Grabbed 2 sachets immediately. I am more than happy about the "forgot moisturizer" incident ;)

• The 20 g tube is priced at Rs.99.
• The cream is pinkish white in color.
• The texture is soft and buttery.

• Does not give whitish cast and gets absorbed instantly into my dry skin.
• Does not make my skin greasy/oily and keeps it hydrated for long hours.
• Skin does look brighter (not lighter) with continued usage.
• Though it claims to provide UV protection,the SPF content has not been specified.Hence,I do not trust it for the sunscreen properties.

• This is a through and through dry skin moisturizer. My friend who has combination skin found it greasy.Hence oily and combination skin ladies may find it thick despite the "non-greasy formula" claims.
• May not hydrate the dry skin enough during the winters.

VERDICT:

If u have dry skin and need a well hydrating moisturizer, u need to give this a whirl ;) It brings my dry skin to life in the summers ;)

MY SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE :) :)

Hi!
    I gt varied interests out of which SKINCARE s very close to my heart :)now since this is unofficially moi first post i would like to post abt moi summer skincare :) :) In Chennai it is already Summer tym :( :O the climate here is damn HOT and HUMID :( and ofcurse very SWEATY :X grr..It is irritating that the minute u step out of home   all ur hardwork at lukin gud gets wasted :O So i prefer to keep it to the minimal..K enough of my babble lets move to the original topic :)

I hope u guys know the 3 steps for facial care :
CLEANSING
MOISTURIZING
TONING

Following are the products that I use:

                                   

CLEANSING:

For cleansing i use:

*LOTUS jojoba oil facewash-I use it in the morning as it is very moisturizing !!

*LAKME citrus rain facewash-use it in the evening also i tend to get bored wit my things fast so for a change :P

SCRUBBING:

*CLEAN AND CLEAR blackhead clearing scrub-substitute it for face wash mostly..cant say much abt its scrubbing properties 

*EVERYUTH mild everyday scrub-this is my HOLY GRAIL scrub use it every single day :)

MOISTURIZING:

*LOTUS aloe vera gel-takes secs to get absorbed and light on the skin :)

*OLAY natural white-love its smell and is very moisturizing 

TONING:

*HIMALAYA cucumber toner-I like this..does not dry out my skin :)

FACE MASK:

*LOTUS clay mask-gives a lift to ur skin 

*ATTITUDE face masque-moisturizing and recommended for all skin types in summer 

I suffer from unrelenting DARK CIRCLES as a result of continuous usage of computer.Hence i use the following to reduce them..they work well and have helped in considerably reducing my dark circles :) :)

*AROMA MAGIC under eye gel

*AROMA MAGIC almond eye cream

I use AM gel for the mornings when i dont have tym and this gel gets absorbed fast :D and at night i slather on the cream and it feels luxurious to me :P

SUNSCREEN:

Sunscreen is very important not bcuz i reduces the amt of tan but bcuz it saves us from the harmful UV rays of the sun.So i recommend every1 of u to go and get a sunscreen and USE it too :)

DEO:

Deo is very essential atleast during the summers since we tend to sweat out a lot :O :( So plz do invest in a bodyspray wit a fairly gud staying power so tat u dont smell like pigs :P I use NIVEA pearl and beauty deo or  DOVE bodyspray(yellow) Lemonrass and Grapefuit flavour :)I prefer the latter as it is more refreshing compared to Nivea.

Last but nt the least...Just a single swipe of lip balm (Tinted!) will brighten up ur whole face :)I use MAYBELLINE lip smooth and care in Dolly Rose :)I love the tint :)

Thats it as of now..Hope u guys liked it :) :)Keeping my fingers crossed on ur opinions on my writing style :)

         KUDOS TILL THE NEXT POST !!
