Can You Use Body Lotion On Your Face?

• Can You Use Body Lotion On Your Face?
• Body Lotion On Face - Would It Cause Any Side Effects?
• Why Don't We Use Body Lotions on Face?
• Extra Dry Facial Skin - Would Body Lotions Help?

We are frequently receiving these kinda query from our readers and the answer is simply NO! We are now going to discuss why one shouldn't use their body lotion on face and what ill effects it would cause. So if you have any idea of using your body moisturizer to moisturize your facial skin, then kill it. It is not that every body lotion would react bad on your facial skin; some might work well in fluke too but why should risk? Read below and know more on this.

Difference Between Facial Skin and Body Skin

Cell Turnover Rate of Skin:
Skin dryness and less environmental exposure (When compared to facial skin) causes slow skin turnover rate in body skin. Due to this, the natural exfoliation process slows down in body skin and thus it stays rougher and scalier than your facial skin. On the other hand, due to the sebaceous glands and excess sun exposure, the natural exfoliation process takes place faster and more frequently in your face skin when compared to the body skin. This makes your facial skin naturally more sensitive than your body skin.

Skin Thickness:
Our facial skin is usually 0.20mm thick whereas the body skin is 0.60mm thick. From this, obviously we can say that our facial skin is more sensitive when compared to our body skin.

Is It Okay to Use Body Lotion on Facial Skin?

As already said, the answer is No. Because of the differences in skin nature and thickness, usage of body lotion on more thin and more delicate facial skin is not that advisable. Body skin is usually drier than the facial skin and thus body lotions are specially formulated with heavy moisturizing ingredients that would lead to clogging of pores on the facial skin.

Is Body Lotion on Face Okay In case of Extremely Dry Skin?

Even though your body lotion is light in texture and your skin is extra dry, you shouldn't use it on your facial skin as some of the ingredients present in it might be allergic to your face. Not at first, you may also face facial breakouts and such with regular body lotion usage on face.
   Have you ever noticed something on your body lotion? Most of the body lotions are more scented and coloured when compared to the light facial lotions and moisturizers. Don't you think that those artificial fragrances and colours would affect your super delicate and sensitive facial skin?
       So it is better to avoid body moisturizers on your face anytime. Whatever skin type yours may be and however gentle those body lotions may be, do NOT use it on your facial skin without consulting with your dermatologist (There is very less chance that any dermatologist would recommend a body moisturizer for face)
      

Side Effects of Using Body Moisturizers on Face

So, Summing up the all the above factors, here is the list of facial skin problems you might experience if you use your body moisturizer on your face, instantly or may be with regular usage.

• Acne breakouts
• Clogging of pores
• Redness
• Itchy skin
• Excess oil secretion
• Greasy skin
• Other allergies

Facial Moisturizer On Body - Is that Okay?

This is completely alright and this wouldn't surely give you any side effect because of the gentleness of the facial lotions. Hence, in case you run out of your regular body lotion, you can pour some facial lotion on your palm and smooth it over you body skin to provide it required moisturization. You can do this without any fear however you may need to reapply the facial lotion in short intervals to prevent dryness on your body skin!

P.S: For some, your body lotions may perfectly suit as your facial moisturizer but before continuing this, consult with your dermatologist once to ensure that it wouldn't cause any side effects or skin allergies in future.

Hope you find this article helpful. Have you ever used your body lotion on face?

Enchanteur MoistureSilk Perfumed Hand & Body Lotion: Romantic and Charming

Even though the hot summer has come to an end, the heat is still there. In this heat, we always prefer LIGHT products to keep our hair and skin grease-free. Today, we are going to check two products of that type. Yes! These are light, non greasy scented hand and body lotions from Enchanteur. Scented products become even more comfortable in hot weather as they would balance the bad odour in skin caused due to sweat. These body lotions are purely scented; the variants are Charming and Romantic. Let us check a detailed review on these products now.

Product Description:

Indulge your senses with the alluring, lingering fragrance of ENCHANTEUR body lotion. Its non-greasy moisture silk formulation is specially enriched with Aloe Vera and Olive Butter to give your skin optimum moisuturization and nourishment.

Price and Quantity:

Romantic: Rs.80 for 100ml

Charming: Rs.69 for 100ml

Usage Directions:

Apply daily for delightful soft, supple and silky smooth skin.

Key Ingredients:

Aloe Vera and Olive butter

Shelf Life: 24 months

Experience with this Product:

These hand and body lotions come in a simple looking off white coloured 'antique' like plastic bottles with a flip type cap. The flip cap is sturdy but I felt it would be more better if it is sturdier more; the tiny nozzle whole dispenses the right of body lotion without any hardness or overflow. Overall, the packaging is simple, easy to use and travel friendly.

Both the lotions are runny in consistency with a smooth, creamy texture. While compared to the Romantic variant, the Charming one is PURE white in colour where the romantic variant is a bit off white. Both the fragrances are floral and especially the charming is  a bit stronger than Romantic. For my senses, the Romantic variant showed a tint of wild jasmine flowers and the Charming is simply refreshing, though strong I could not find a specific floral fragrance in it. If you are mild scented body lotion lover, go for the Romantic variant and go for the Charming one if you suffer from sweat. 

Swatches:

About the working of these two lotions, more or less both do the same to the skin. They moisturize my body skin well and leaves a pleasant fragrance without making the skin sticky or greasy. The fragrance lingers for an hour or so and then disappears but skin doesn't feel any stretchy for 2-3 hours. If you have dry skin type, of course you need to reapply 3-4 times a day but for my normal skin types it does a good job with 2 times. I do apply it once in the morning after bath and once at the night after bath. With regular usage, it made my skin soft, supple and yes it also looks smooth. For the price, these lotions are a good buy for sure. 

Pros:

• Light and smooth consistency, perfect for usage in summers
• Gets absorbed easily without leaving any greasy film behind
• Moisturizes hands without being heavy on skin
• The fragrances are pleasant and lingering
• Refreshes the senses soon after application
• Doesn't leave skin dry for 4-5 hours which is a good time
• Softens skin with regular use
• Mild on skin, doesn't cause any rashes or other side effects
• Dirt cheap price
• Simple, handy and travel friendly packaging

Cons:

• Not enough moisturizing for dry skin types
• Might not do the moisturization part well on winters much
• The charming variant has a bit stronger smell which might not be bearable for extra sensitive noses

Overall Rating: 4/5

Recommendation: Go for it if you have normal to oily skin or if you are a lover of floral scented body lotions. 

Would I Repurchase?: Definitely yes! For next summers. I am also planning to use it on winters when I love to have a fresh floral fragrance all over my body.

Hope you liked the review about these Enchanteur lotions. Do share your views, feedback and love.

This body lotion which I am reviewing now is in my HG list for months and just now got time and mood  to review it. Himalaya Herbals products always work fine on my skin so I use them almost everyday like the Himalaya lip butter, body lotion, fairness cream and it's a big list. Few lines about Himalaya Herbals brand as per their site "Himalaya Herbals is a range of 100% natural and safe products with rare herbs collected from the foothills of the Himalayas.

Key ingredients: Wheat Germ Oil, Corn Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Aloevera Juice.

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging

This body lotion comes in a white plastic bottle with a sturdy green cap. The packaging is simple, but yet cute and I love it. Because of the firmness, it is travel friendly too. And an another advantage is that, this is not a use and throw bottle. I am planning to save these empty containers and fill my homemade creams :P Love the packaging overall.

4.9/5

Colour, Consistency & Texture

The lotion has a very creamy consistency, slightly runny, smooth and perfect for a gentle body lotion. To say an example, the texture is like that of melted vanilla ice cream :D The lotion quickly spreads onto my skin and gets absorbed. Fragrance is very mild and gentle and it has a herbal tint, still I expect some fruity or sweet smell in it (Greedy me, he he) :P No bad I find.

4.5/5

How it Works

As I said before, this is my HG lotion because it works perfectly on my oily skin in this humid weathers in Chennai. It is very hot and sweating here, so whenever I use this lotion on my skin I feels light and refreshed instead of being greasy or sticky. I agree that this lotion doesn't suit for dry skins anytime, but that cant be taken as a con at all as they didn't claim it. This is a normal skin body lotion and it does a decent job in summer for both normals and oilies. Dry skins should stay away because this won't help you and normal skins should also opt for some other nourishing ones in winters. Being a normal to oily skinned person, this just works great on me. My skin feels soft with regular usage and I use it allover my body everyday after bath. In hard winters, I needed to go for some other lotion or else apply this once in every 3 hours which ends up wasting my pocket money :P So, listen Himalaya nourishing body lotion, you are my very best friend in summers! Love you!

4.5/5

PROS

1. Sturdy Packaging and hence travel friendly.
2. Affordable and easily available everywhere.
3. A fresh refreshing herbal fragrance, not so over powering at all.
4. Spreads quickly onto my skin without leaving any greasiness.
5. Contains natural ingredients like alovera, apricot etc which are the best skin friends.
6. This would be a treat for oily skins in humid weathers.
7. Non sticky and side effect free. A little amount covers vast area of the skin, hence lasts long.
8. Skin becomes soft with regular usage.
9. Re-usable sturdy container.

CONS

1. No a winter pick for normal skin types, but it leads others in summers.
2. Contain parabens (Every other product do so nowadays)

My Recommendation: Oily and normal skin types can try this in summers, one of the best and natural body lotion! I highly recommend. Dry skins please stay away

Overall Rating: 4/5 (-1 for your winter weakness, not enough moisturizing for normal skin types)

Will I Repurchase?: I said it's in my HG list. Won't I???? This will be my all time summer pick until I find a better one.

My Views and Ratings 

The Packaging

The Nature's Co Lily Of The Valley Body Lotion comes in an attractive rectangle container (Bio-degradable too) which is in white with blue colour combination, so lovable. It has a sturdy flip top cap hence, this becomes travel friendly too. The doesn't leak or something, and fits compactly in the package because of its shape. There's a little brown pamphlet tied to the neck of the container (Written about The Lily of The Valley) with a thin jute twine which made it look so natural. Overall, the packaging is very classy and I loved it to core! I can't say any bad about this at all. You would have guessed my rating by now. He he..You're right.

Rating: 5/5 (Perfect Packaging) 

                                                   

                                                 The Sturdy flip cap

 

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance

The day I got this product, I opened the cap and dropped out some lotion on my wrist at first. Oh god! It's so milky white and creamy, same texture like that of vanilla ice cream (Little thinner than that). The lotion is neither too runny nor thick, the perfect "Lotion" texture it has. Because of these two things, colour and consistency, I fell in love at first sight with this lotion. To say about the fragrance part, it is so unique and different. I felt the smell is very natural and as same as essential herbs, little flowery too. Nothing to say bad about it because it has a great rich fragrance which made me feel that I am using a "All natural product". I totally satisfied with this body lotion and started loving it before I started using it itself. Hats off!

Rating:5/5 (Smooth consistency and rich natural fragrance, nothing to find bad)

                                   The milky textured lotion on my hand

                                          Smoothly glides onto skin

Don't you see how smooth it is? Let us see how it works on my skin.

How It Works On Me 

I guess you would be eager about knowing this part now because I gave full ratings for the packaging & CCF parts. Now I will share with you all my experience with product. As mentioned in the pack, I applied this lotion onto my skin after bath, when my skin was moist. It glides onto skin very smoothly and gets absorbed within seconds without leaving any greasy feel (as my skin is extra dry in winters) And yes it does leaves a shiny cast which lasts only for minutes, then disappears. Of course it's not any greasy at all unless you are a oily beauty. The pleasant fragrance of this lotion makes me feel fresh even after long hours of every application and thus I would say that the fragrance stays for a decent time. The claim is very true that this lotion is for sensitive skins as it doesn't even cause a single odd thing or side affect on my sensitive skin. It's baby pure in my point of view.

   Will you believe this? A non greasy lotion stays on my skin for more than 8 hours!!! A great surprise. It moisturises skin well, instantly softens it and stays for a very long time too. If you are residing in a very cold place, this may stay for little short time, but even after the moisturising effect disappears, this doesn't let my skin dry. The skin is smooth throughout the day! This lotion is a great boon for nature loving dry skin beauties! In rougher parts like knees and elbows, it is recommend (by  me) to apply twice in a day for better results. I apply this lotion after ever bath (Once in the morning and once at the night) and totally loving its benefits on my skin. It made my skin more smoother than ever before! Overall, this is a great product for dry skins from TNC (The nature's co)

Rating: 5/5 (Boon for dry skins! Softens, nourishes and stays longer)

Hurrah ! 5/5 in all the three aspects! Let's see the PROS and CONS (Cons, you expect? uff)

PROS 

1. A naturally made product (It is TNC..!!). Hence, no chemicals, no harsh preservatives, no side effects! A great buy and worth every penny. 
2. Smooth, milky texture which glides onto skin and gets absorbed easily.
3. The yummy, natural and rich fragrance that stays on skin for a decent time.
4. No greasy feel, a perfect nourishing body lotion for dry skins, especially in winters.
5. Attractive, hygienic and travel friendly packaging.
6. Sensitive skins will feel it very nourishing and calming.
7. Cools down skins and softens instantly.
8. Great staying power! This wont let your skin dry or stretchy for 8 hours!
9. Contains ingredients like Olive oil, Vitamin E and veggie glycerin which are essential for nourishing dry skin and preventing dryness.

 CONS

The price!! May be little expensive for some people (but worth every penny)

This is not for you if you have oily skin. Normal skins may feel a bit, only a bit greasy in hard summers. (Summer or winter, dry skins will love it totally)

Nothing else!! It's a great buy. They didn't claim that this lotion is for oily skin so they live upto their claims, why not? Does more than that. 

My Recommendation: Dry skins, Most welcome. A must try product for you! This is going to be your HG body lotion once if you try this. Suitable for all the seasons. A very natural product from TNC..! I highly recommend this. (Normal skins will also love this in winters, but not recommended for oily beauties)

Overall Rating: 5/5 ❤❤❤❤❤

Will I repurchase?: Don't you know the answer? Yessss!! It's going to be my winter HG body lotion. Natural!! All Natural!!

How to Make Natural Sunscreen for Skin and Hair? {Reader Beauty Query}

One of my reader Jahnavi Jha asks in Reader Beauty Queries..

Beauty Query: Is there a natural sunscreen which we can make at home both for hair and skin protection? 

MABH Answers..

Yes. You can make your own sunscreen lotion at home with few natural things easily. In this post, I will instruct you how to make homemade sunscreen lotion for skin and a sunscreen hairspray for healthy hair.

Homemade Sunscreen Skin Lotion

Ingredients Needed:

1. Emulsify wax : 4 gm
2. Vitamin E Capsules : 7 nos (Evion is a good brand)
3. Grape seed oil : 4 to 5 drops
4. Aloevera gel    : 2 tablespoons
5. Distilled water  : 100 ml
6. Essential oil of your choice : 30 ml
7. Jojoba oil : 50 ml
8. Zinc Oxide : 15 gm (Acts as a sunscreen ingredient)

Method:

• Pour the jojoba oil, wax and zinc oxide in a bowl and place the bowl above the double boiler.
• Blend well with a clean until the wax melts. Keep aside.
• Now add distilled water and allover gel in separate bowl and heat it until the mixture is lukewarm. This is the important step, don't skip it or else the mixture wont mix up well.
• After this step, add this lukewarm aloevera mixture to the wax mixture. Blend well again.
• After this step, take the bowl down from the double boiler. Add Vitamin E oil (Extracted from the capsules), essential oils and grape seed oil. Grape seed oil acts a natural preservative.

Natural Sunscreen Spray For Hair

I'll give you a simple hair spray recipe which nourishes hair, protects and repairs sun damage. It also gives a nice aroma to hair. What all you have to do is, mix few drops of grape seed oil in 200 ml of fresh rose water. Store it in a spray bottle and shake well. Use this hair spray before you go out in sun every time. As grape seed oil is a natural sunscreen ingredient, it protects and develops hair texture.

Vaseline Healthy White Skin Lightening Body Milk Review

Hi girls and guys! Hope you are doing great. Today I am going to review one of the Vaseline's product Vaseline Healthy White Skin Lightening Body Milk :) I have started using this product long back but just now got time to write a review. I bought this product when this winter started to keep my skin nourished because winter takes away all the moisture from my skin and makes it dry and dull. Dull and flaky skin is not only a beauty issue, it's also not healthy. Healthy skin looks beautiful and glowing, so keep your skin moisturized all time to look beautiful :) Lets see what does the Vaseline lightening body milk do and for what kind of skin types it suits..

VASELINE HEALTHY WHITE SKIN LIGHTENING BODY MILK

INGREDIENTS

1.Vitamin B3 which is known to enhance skin’s natural lightening process to help bring out its natural fairness

2.Yogurt serum which helps to provide moisture and nourishment to skin

3. Triple sunscreen which helps to prevent further darkening caused by damaging UVA and UVB rays

PACKS AVAILABLE AND MRP :

40 ml for Rs.25

100ml for Rs.60

300 ml for Rs.150

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: For optimal results, apply twice a day, everyday on your body skin.

SHELF LIFE : Best Before 24 months from Packaging.

CONSISTENCY and How it looks:

MY VIEW ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Actually I bought this product to protect my skin from this dry winter. The pack comes in a classy and cute skin colored plastic bottle. The body milk is creamy and pure white in color. I love the product's pleasant smell and flavor from the very first time when I applied it on my skin. It has a thin consistency, which spreads easily and quickly without forming any whitish artificial shade over my skin.

I bought this body milk to keep my skin nourished in this winter, and it did what I expected even though I didn't see any quick lightening effects on my skin after usage. The lotion removes tan to an extent and protects skin from UV rays as it has sunscreens. Even though it is a very good product, I feel this body lotion will not suit dry skins as it doesn't contains much moisturizing properties needed for extremely dry skins. I love this product and this became my all time favorite body mil, I planned to use this in summers too :) It's skin friendly as it nourishes well without any oiliness. Suits well for normal and oily skinned people.

BEFORE APPLYING THE BODY MILK

AFTER APPLYING THE BODY MILK

PROS

• Affordable and worthy for this cheap price.
• Protects skin from dryness without making it oily and hence it acts as a good all time body lotion.
• It has sunscreens which protects your skin from harmful UV rays.
• The product removed my suntan to an extent and made my complexion even.
• Smells really pleasant :D I love it.
• It has a thin consistency which spreads easily without any sticky feel or white artificial shade.
• Within a month of usage, It removed suntan to an extent and made my skin soft and smooth.
• No side effects as it is so gentle and pure as milk.

CONS

• It would not suit dry skins in winter.
• If you expect for fast whitening results, then this is not the product for you. It only removes tan and keeps skin fresh and nourished. The whitening effect may take more days of usage.

No more cons. It's a lovely product from one of the good brand VASELINE and it's very affordable too, So I don't want to list out any cons for this reasonable price :)

My Rating : 4.5/5

Enjoy this winter with pleasant smelling and nourishing VASELINE HEALTHY WHITE SKIN LIGHTENING BODY MILK!! :)

I prepared this lotion just before an hour :)

INGREDIENTS

1.Take a clean small bowl and add Vaseline to it as shown in the image below.

You can also add few drops of essential oils like sandal wood oil, lavender oil, rose essence or any other one for a pleasant flavor. Now heat this bowl until the mixture melts (It takes only 5 to 10 secs to melt) as shown in the below picture

4. Once the mixture gets melted, turn off the stove and pour this mixture immediately to an old lotion bottle or a face wash bottle. I used clean and clean face wash bottle to store this body lotion. Allow the mixture to set and get thicker for 10 minutes. You can refrigerate this lotion for fast setting and a cooling effect on your skin. This lotion is transparent, non greasy and easily gets absorbed to the skin. With daily usage, it fades out the body scars and dark spots as it contains Vitamin E, a natural scar remover.

USAGE AND RESULTS

• It is a chemical free, very natural homemade skin softening lotion which also fades scars and evens out complexion.
• You should use this lotion over your skin after every bath and before going to bed every night to nourish your skin and give softness. You can see visible results within a week.
• It prevents dryness and softens the skin instantly.

Glycerin Winter Body Lotion

It is very essential to nourish and moisturize our skin in winter season to prevent it from drying and breaking. Dry skin causes dull and lifeless flaky skin. There are many body lotions and moisturizing creams available in the market but still some of us prefer to use a chemical free and light moisturizing lotion to moisturize our skin and body. I have a great working homemade body lotion recipe which softens the skin and keep it soft all time, even in winter. You can easily prepare this moisturizing body lotion at home in 2 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

1. Glycerin - Half cup

2. Rose water -3/4 cup

Here's how

• Mix glycerin and rose water in a clean bowl. Store it in an airtight bottle. Shake well.
