The More Sun - The More Sunscreen

What does it means? It is not that you need to apply sunscreen only on  hot summer days. Don't allow those clouds to fool you, sunscreen is also important in cloudy days. The more you be out in sun, the more sunscreen with a good  SPF is needed. Make sure to choose a sunscreen with high SPF, so that you get a longer protection. It is recommended to reapply your sunscreen lotion once in every four hours. This is the first step when it comes to the treatment of getting fair skin, because you need to prevent your new fair skin. Alright! This is the very important step, so don't skip it.

Fairness Bath Body Pack

How many times do you bath everyday? Hope it is twice because of this hot sun nowadays. It is best to bath once in the morning and once in the evening, soon after returning home from your work/study place. Leave the morning session, because you would be in hurry of getting ready. Let us have a relaxing bath in the evening. Open your refrigerator and take some tomatoes and a lemon. In a blender, add a cup of besan (Gram flour), few tomatoes, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. This mixture should be blended well to a smooth paste by adding required rose water. You can also add some green gram flour if available, though it's just optional. Now collect this smooth paste in a bowl and go to bath. Use your daily soap/body wash to have a mild bath, using a loofah and scrubbing skin gently would be much better. After you cleanse up the body skin, apply this fairness body pack on your wet skin. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Now wash away this pack with plenty of fresh water and towel dry the skin. That's it! This body pack natural whitens skin, removes tan and eliminate those dead skin cells naturally. This should be followed everyday for ten days, in order to see astonishing results. However, you can make it in alternate days as per your convenience. 

Leisure Time Facial Skin Foods

So what can you do to improve your complexion in your leisure time? Is your skin oily? Mix equal amounts of rose water, lemon juice and potato juice. Using a cotton ball, gently apply this over your face and neck and allow it to dry. You can do your own works like watching tv, or cooking meanwhile. After it dries, splash fresh water and wash away. For dry skinned people, a mixture of milk on honey can be applied to improve the skin. A face mask made with almond paste can also be applied everyday on your face for dramatic results!  By these simple tit bits, you are helping your skin get out of tan and become bright faster.

Water.. Water.. Water!

Water is everything! When your body is dehydrated, you can do nothing on your skin. No topical treatments work  when you have inner health issues. Drink at least 3 liters of water everyday to notice extraordinary results on your skin complexion and texture. Water is an all rounder remedy when it comes to skin. Not whole month or a year, just try this for 10 days. After that you will stick to drinking water and recommend your friends to do this. Not only inside, your skin needs water too. So whenever possible, especially after sun exposure, splash fresh cold water on your skin to heal and calm it.

Hot Oil Body Massage

Resting in weekends? Here is a task for you. Select a base oil of your wish. (Eg. coconut oil or olive oil). Crush some Neem and Tulsi leaves and add them to this oil and heat it. When the mixture is warm, switch off the stove and apply this oil all over your body and start massaging. You can also ask someone to do this. This hot oil massage can be followed twice in a week to achieve fairer complexion. Do you know how this helps? This improves overall body blood circulation and removes old tan. Thus, your body skin glows like a diamond! This really works, don't skip this too. In our ten days fairness skin routine, follow it for at least four times.

Moisturize Daily

Last but not least, a good moisturizer is important to make all the above things work. Wondering how? I will tell you. Whatever you do for your skin, moisturization is important to retain moisture and keep skin soft and glowing! Have you ever noticed your skin after bath, those white patches or some dryness? if you use your finger nails to draw a line on your skin, those white lines would be visible. You should never ever allow this thing happen if you want glowing beautiful skin. Moisturization is needed for extremely oily skin types too, however it should be light. So, use a good face and body lotion after every bath or face wash to retain skin's moisture. This would not show you overnight results, but the results are just fabulous if followed regularly. So keep the word "Moisturization". Never skip it!

That's all. These are the things you need to perform these 10 days. Of course this is not a get fair quick routine, but it really works if you follow in a proper way. You can notice the brightened and softened effect on your skin after these ten days. This routine will be very helpful for brides, so take a challenge, follow it for ten days and let us know how it works!

Exfoliate at Home For Brighter Complexion

Even toned healthy skin is the key to flawless beautiful face. But even world beauties needs some makeup and touch ups to cover their uneven skin. Uneven skin is caused due to improper maintenance, unhealthy diet and mainly because of the hyper pigmentation. Melanin is a pigment that our skin cells contain as the colouring substance, less counting in some areas and concentrated in some areas of the skin. For example, dark people's skin contain more melanin pigments while comparing to the pale ones. It is not that pale people are beautiful than the dark ones. Dark beauties with a flawless glowing skin beats white dull skins. Whatever your skin type may be, it must be clear to be beautiful. Due to some unhealthy practices and the main enemy sun, the skin color differs which causes uneven skin tone and dullness. As skin is the largest organ of our body, it is much exposed to sun, dirt and other pollution. Harmful UV rays damages your skin and increases the uneven melanin production. In this post, let us discuss about some natural exfoliating scrub recipes that can even out skin and brighten your complexion.

Why to Exfoliate?

The first thing you should go for is exfoliation when it comes to getting clear and beautiful skin. Regular exposure to sun, dirt and pollution, improper skin maintenance causes uneven dull skin. A layer of dead cells covers the surface of your skin and makes it look lifeless and dull. Dark or pale, a uneven skin is not beautiful at all. A perfect skin should be smooth, shiny and glowing, not the one covered up with dead cells, scars and bumps. Hence, exfoliation the first step when it comes to beautiful brighter skin. You can use some natural exfoliating scrubs from the kitchen! Yes. your own kitchen. You may or may not realize, but some natural ingredients from your kitchen can remove all your dead cells. I will list you few recipes as per your skin type. Choose wisely and say goodbye to those dead cells.

Exfoliating Scrub Recipes from your Kitchen

 

For Oily Skin

1. Rice flour mixed with butter milk can act as an excellent facial exfoliating scrub. This removes all the dead skin cells, as well as the extra oiliness. Mix both to form a cream, apply it over your facial skin and scrub gently with your finger tips. After 3-4 minutes, wash off your face with clean and cold water. Pat dry.
2. You can also replace grounded oats for the rice powder. Add some diluted lime juice and butter milk to the oats. Blend well. A quick 2 minute scrub is ready now!
3. Take 2 teaspoons of orange peel powder, mix rosewater to make a paste. Workout on your face with your finger tips scrubbing gently. Splash fresh water and wash off. This scrub not only removes the dead skin cells but also improves the complexion.

For Dry Skin

Unlike the oily skin types, dry skins should be exfoliated in a very gentle way. Dry skins are easily prone to loose excess moisture and so, no moisture removing exfoliating scrubs should be used on your skin. 

1. Almond should be grounded, not to a thin paste, the mixture should be granulated for the exfoliating effect. With this almond granules mix some milk cream and start scrubbing your cleansed face. After 5 minutes, wash off your face with cold water and moisturize. 
2. Grounded oats mixed with honey and olive oil can also be used as an excellent dry skin exfoliater.
3. Khus Khus is an excellent source of Vitamin E, a skin friendly vitamin. Mix this with honey and rose water to prepare your exfoliating scrub in seconds. This can be used in alternate days to achieve even and brighter skin tone.

Normal to Oily and Normal to Dry skins should make some adjustments in these scrubbing recipes. As you observe, ingredients like milk, honey and oils are for dry skin types and the rice flour, lime juice are for oily skinned beauties. For exfoliating the body skin, get the loofah! So adjust your exfoliating scrub recipes and use it to get that parlour effect! A clean and clear skin is totally yours if you take a resolution to scrub gently twice every week.

Hi girls! This week or so we have been seeing few reviews of Himalaya Herbals products such as the foot cream, lip butter and kajal etc. Today I am reviewing the fairness cream from this brand. Fairness? It's not a crave for me, but bright and glowing skin? Yes I love it! Who doesn't like their skin to be radiant. So, I gave this product a try to check whether it's making my skin bright, clear spots or something else like that. Using this cream for more than a year, I have a lot to say about it. Now let us see a detailed review on what it does and what it doesn't.

(It also comes in a small pack of Rs.30 approx, I am not sure about the quantity)

• “4 Dimensional Fairness” – Improves glow, Moisturizes, Improves complexion, Nourishes.
• Himalaya fairness cream is an ayurvedic proprietary medicine.
• Suitable for all skin types. No bleaching agents. No harmful chemicals.
• Natural herbal formulations tend to change colour overtime. However, the product efficacy remains unchanged.

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging

Do you want me to say? It comes in a tube like every other Himalaya herbals cream come. The acne cream, foot cream and bla bla bla. The tube is in white with rose mixed colour, with a green screw type cap. The tube is so simple in looks but it's a TUBE. Isn't that enough for me? Wow It's my favorite!! Because it is hygienic than silly tubs :D Perfect for squeezing with control! Perfect for traveling!. Hey wait, I forgot to mention a thing. The cream tube is compactly placed inside a rectangle cardboard box. No bad I see in it's packaging.

4.9/5 (Expecting some cute packaging from Himalaya Herbals)

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance

The cream is neither too thick nor runny, but its very light as like in between a lotion and cream's consistency. The cream being white coloured has a very light peach tint on it and also a shiny, silky texture. To say about the fragrance, it is unexplainable, the fragrance is a kinda floral + herbal, may be a little heavy for sensitive noses but after applied onto the skin, it gets mild. I loved its fragrance.

4.5/5 (Fragrance can be little mild)

                                                                            Before application

                                                                 After application

How It Works On Me

First thing I want to say is that this cream is in my HG list. My skin tends to change somewhat oily in summers and those times, this cream is pick for sure. It spreads easily (But not that quick, as the consistency is very light you need to massage the cream over your face till it gets absorbed) and gives a light matte effect. It instantly brightens my face and gives an oily free look. However dry skins may feel it stretchy or tight. With regular use, this cream fades away the spots and evens out my skin up to an extent. I dislike the slight powdery consistency of this cream. but still okay with it for its other benefits. It doesn't make me fair, or white as per the claim. No cream can do this I know but the brightening effect is pretty good and this is what I want too. I am not crazy about pale skins :P Bright, soft and beautiful is enough. I totally love this cream and using it everyday! (Except winters). Oily skins and also normal to oily skins should try this one for sure!

4/5 

PROS

1. Instantly gives a matte effect and brightens skin.
2. Contains natural ingredients such as aloe vera, wall nut, orange and rose which are very good for your skin. 
3. No side effects and it doesn't break out skin! This is a great plus. 
4. Doesn't make skin greasy or oily. Perfect for all season usage in oily skins.
5. Stays on my face for a long time and can be used as a good makeup base.
6. Hygienic packaging and travel friendly.
7. Smells floral. I love it.
8. Comes in a dirt cheap price and lasts really long as a little amount is enough for whole face and neck.
9. It's Himalaya herbals. So easily available everywhere!
10. Fades away dark spots and evens out skin up to an extent.

CONS

1. Stretchy feel if used on dry skins. It will not suit dry skins anytime, even summers.
2. Contains parabens. (Every other cosmetic product do so)
3. The cream has a slight powdery consistency.
4. Fragrance may be a bit heavy for sensitive noses but gets mild after application. 

My Recommendation: A great pick for oily skins! normals too I guess,not sure.

Overall Rating: 4/5 

Will I repurchase?: Why not? I said it's in my HG list isn't it? :P

How to Get Glowing Complexion In Few Weeks? {A Super Trick}

1. How to improve my complexion?
2. How can I improve my skin tone?
3. I am dark. What should I do to make my skin fair?
4. Please give some fairness tips. I am so dull.
5. How to get rid of dark patches?

These are the main questions my readers ask me everyday. :P Everyone want to be fair usually Isn't it? What does fair means? The meaning of fair is GOOD, so it is not a word to describe pale skin in my point of view. The skin types should be mentioned as light, wheatish, dusky and dark. These are all birth complexions, no one can change their genes. You need to get fair? Please do know many white people are craving to be dusky and they are tanning themselves. I am not saying that only dark people are beautiful, everyone is beautiful depending upon the health, texture and tone of their skin, not colour for sure.

  I have seen many people who are white, but have a bad skin with dullness, marks and roughness. Many chocolaty people have great skins. So please forget about the myth "White is beautiful" A clean, clear and healthy skin is beautiful whether it is white or dark. Don't go behind the fairness myth and spoil your skin with chemicals. Don't use bleaches or other harmful whitening products to change your god gifted birth colour.

Now, I will teach you how I improved my skin. I did not get paler than before, but my skin became smooth, even toned, bright and softer than before. Being born as a pale skinned baby, I was wheatish till my 5th std. When I joined 6th, I got into athletics and tanned my skin for past 7 years. I am an athlete and I have no choice to bother about my skin colour. I got very dark and dull skin, hence worried about it a lot :( Then I followed a simple trick to improve my tanned skin. I am dusky now and fell in love with my dusky skin and this is the main reason for me being a skincare-addict. I love dusky shades more than paler ones, it depends on your interest that which colour you like. But never forget, Pale or dark, soft and healthy skin is beautiful anytime!

Now tell me tell you the trick.. It is Exfoliation! 

Yes, for sure. Our skin needs to be exfoliated at least twice in a week in a gentle way to get rid of the dead skin cells which deposits in the outer layer of our skin due to pollution and other allergies. This makes skin look patchy, dull and unhealthy if not exfoliated and scrubbed properly. I am always afraid of chemical scrubs hence I went for a natural one, It is Loofah!! Nothing to fear with it. It's just like a scrub pad. 

If you never knew what loofah is, look at this

Where to buy: You can get natural loofah at your nearest herbal shop or even you can get ready made loofah pads from online shopping websites or departmental stores.

Price: I got mine for just Rs.15 (he he.. It's dirt cheap)

Trick to Get Super Soft and Glowing Complexion

It's a simple procedure with Loofah to achieve smooth soft and glowing skin!

Just soak loofah in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them and sqeeze. While bathing, rub loofah in your soap or pour some body wash, work lather on your body skin giving gentle circular motions in body skin and greater pressure in rougher parts like knees and elbows. After exfoliating properly, wash off with plenty of fresh water. That's it. This should be done once in 3 days or 2 days if your skin is non sensitive and dry, and once in a week if you have dry skin.

 This process will remove dead skin cells up to an extent to clear out your skin and thus you get super complexion in few weeks! Try it out for sure.

Note: Exfoliating gives awesome results but you should never ever forget to moisturize your skin with a nourishing lotion after exfoliating as your skin would have lost extra moisture.

Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Day Cream Review

Today I am going to review a fairness cream from Lakme, a well known popular cosmetic brand. Basically I am not that crazy about fairness creams or lotions as I love my dusky complexion and I am not the one who crave for whiter pale skin. Fairness creams are not going to make me or anyone magically fair though :P The main reason why I purchased this fairness day cream is that I loved the face wash from this range very much. I have already reviewed the Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Face Wash here and the reason why I loved it is the freshness and instant brightness it gives after washing my face. So I thought of trying the fairness cream from this perfect radiance range and using it for about a month. Let me give my review about it with its pros and cons

Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Day Cream 
 (With White Lily and Sacred Lotus Extracts)

Price : 50g  for Rs.175; 15g  for Rs.92

(I bought the 50g pack as the 15g one is too less in quantity for the price)

Shelf Life : Best before 24 months (2 years) from packaging

Ingredient List 

(Sorry for the inconvenience with this bad clarity picture) :(

  

What Does the Product Claims

Designed to give you truly fair radiant skin, Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Day Cream with White Lily and Sacred Lotus acts on all six signs below of skin ageing.

How to Use

Smooth on every morning and evening on cleansed skin to discover skin that's not only truly fair but glows from within. For external use only.

Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Cream Packaging
                                         
                                          Opening Cover.. The tub is compactly placed inside

In my hand.. You can observe it's size easily

Compactly and Safely Packed with a firm Plastic Base

Consistency and Colour of the Product

Before Applying the Cream 

After Applying the Cream

My View About Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Day Cream

The product comes in tub with an outer cover which is sweet pink in co lour. The tub is compactly packed inside the cover with a thin plastic base. The tub which containing the cream is somewhat purplish in colour with a lovely silver lid on the top. This combination makes the packaging classy and anyone will love it very much. The silver lid was firm and tight thus the product is travel friendly too. Even though I loved the packaging, I feel little disappointed with it because the tub packaging makes it unhygienic. We have to dip our finger every time into the tub to take out the cream, If the product comes in tube, it would be much better than this. The fragrance is flowery and sweet as same as the face wash from this range.

       To say about the consistency of the cream, it is very smooth, creamy and milkish peach in colour (As you see in the above pics) It spreads easily and absorbs easily without any trouble on my skin. Unlike most of the other fairness creams, it is very light on my skin, it doesn't make my skin feel heavy or tight. The main thing, it's not greasy at all. It instantly brightened my skin without leaving any whitish cast. But remember, In darker skin tones, it may leave a ashy cast if applied too much. With regular use, it reduced my acne scars up to an extent and made my skin tone even. It think it removed little tan too as it claims. As I am a "normal to oily" skinned girl, this cream suits me best for day time usage but dry skins should stay away from this. There is no moisturizing effect at all. This product is surely not for dry skins and some normal skins too may feel this less moisturizing in winters. Eventhough I love to use it as a perfect day cream, I am not ready to go with it to nourish my skin at nights, my skin needs an extra nourishing night cream. So allover, it's a perfect day cream which is light, which gives instant brightening effect, stays longer on face and best to use only for oily skinned people. It also acts a superb makeup base but dry skinned people shouldn't go for it.

PROS

1. Cute, Sturdy and Travel friendly packaging
2. Smooth texture of the cream which is very creamy and spreads easily.
3. Lovable flowery fragrance which gives instant freshness.
4. This day cream instantly brightens skin without any greasy feel or heaviness.
5. A very best day cream and a make up base for oily and super oily skins.
6. It reduces the appearance of scars and evened out my skin tone up to a great extent.
7. Removes sun tan as it claims, only with regular use.
8. The tub is fully filled with cream, hence it's affordable for the quantity and quality. A 50gm tub will last for more than 2 months.
9. No side effects, no breakouts if used in normal and oily skins. Safe to use.

CONS

1. No moisturizing effect! Dry skins stay away.
2. Tub Packaging which is unhygienic.
3. Contains Parabens. Which cosmetic today doesn't?

No other cons, the only main thing that bothers people is that the product has no moisturizing effect. But it's not a big con according to this cream because they didn't claim at all that this cream will moisturize your skin. The product only claims that it "Reduces oiliness". So, the Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Day Cream lives up to its claims. Worth of money!

My Recommendation: Oily Skins go head, it will suit you best in all the seasons. Normal skins, summer is alright but stay away from this cream in winters and dry people, just forget about this product. This is not for you in any season.

My Rating: 4/5 (-1 for tub packaging and -1 for no moisturizing effect)

Will I repurchase this product? : Sure, Every time! I love it because it instantly brightens, evens out my skin with daily use and acts as a good makeup base too.

Improve Skin Complexion in 30 days at Home

A proper skin care regime is needed to achieve bright healthy complexion and prevent it from pollution, dirt and other skin enemies. Good moisturizers with SPF (Sun protection factor) would help us in developing and preventing the complexion and hence moisturizing is compulsory for all skin types. Oily skin needs moisturizers too. Some people needs a quick skin fix before a party, or a wedding to look bright and beautiful. It's not necessary to go for costly skin care products and cosmetics to achieve brighter skin. We can even brighten our skin with natural things available in our kitchen to enhance the skin color and look beautiful. In this post, I am going to give you step by step instructions to improve your complexion to an extent within 30 days. Follow the below skin care regime and become a skin beauty! :)

     I am not going to give you loads to work this time. A simple natural exfoliating fairness facial scrub and a nourishing fairness mask is going to be your routine for these 30 days. The exfoliating scrub should be followed thrice a week for normal and oily skins and if your skin is dry, you are going to do it once twice because it might strip of the moisture from your skin leaving it more drier. Hey wait! Don't escape dry skin girls and guys! :D Only the exfoliating scrub is twice, but you surely need to follow the nourishing mask everyday or in alternate days. This is to nourish your skin and remove the dullness which is caused by dryness.

With the above procedures I would also mention some skin care and diet tips to follow, to get better results on your skin. First, I'll give the recipes of the exfoliating scrub and nourishing face mask.

Exfoliating Fairness Facial Scrub

Ingredients

• Orange Peel Powder - Two teaspoons
• Rose water - Required amount
• Dry skinned people keep in mind : Rose water is for oily skinned girls and guys, if you have normal to dry or extremely dry skin, I suggest you to add raw creamy milk instead of rose water. Additionally, you can also add milk cream and honey to this scrub (to prevent a stretchy feel and dryness)

How to Use

• Wash your face with a good face wash or soap depending on your skin type.
• Mix the orange peel powder with rose water (Oily skins), or milk (As I said for dry skins) and blend well to make a paste. The paste wouldn't be fine and it can't act as a exfoliate if it is fine, so don't worry.
• Apply this paste on the surface of your face and neck evenly. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let the ingredients work well on your skin to lighten it, just relax. You can place 2 cucumber slices or cold water dipped cotton pads above your eyes for a refreshment in this mean time.
• Now comes the important step, cleanse your hands and make your face wet by dipping your fingers in water and tapping. Now gently scrub your face and neck with an upward circular motion for about 10 minutes with your finger tips.
• After scrubbing, wash off with cold and clean water. Pat dry and moisturize, a heavy creamy moisturizer for dry skins and a light one for oily skins.

Results and Benefits

Orange has lots of antioxidants and citrus properties which are very essential for one's skin. It not only naturally bleaches your skin, it also acts as a wrinkle remover, spots and tan remover and skin lightener. So, following this above scrub regularly bleaches your skin in a natural way, removing dead cells, tan, giving a natural radiant glow which even skin lightening serums cannot give. Orange peel powder with rose water scrub removes excess oil while the same peel powder with the milk and honey mixture prevents skin from drying. So, the benefits and glow is same from the both scrubs, just the ingredients differs a bit as per your skin type. This scrub is recommend for brides also as it would make them look glowing and beautiful in their wedding day :) I recommend every girl or guy who craves for bright complexion to follow this scrub and get faster results.

Nourishing Fairness Mask

Ingredients

• Almonds - 5
• Oatmeal - 2 teaspoons
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Milk cream - required
• Rose water - required
• Oily skinned people keep in mind: This mask contains moisturizing ingredients which suits only dry skins well, so it is better to avoid milk cream and use lime juice instead to prevent excess oil secretion.

How to Use

• Soak almonds overnight in milk or water. Peel them and paste them in the morning.
• Mix this almond paste with oatmeal, honey, milk cream and rose water and blend well to form a smooth creamy face mask.
• Cleanse your face and apply this pack covering face and neck, avoiding the areas around eyes.
• Allow the mask to dry for 15 to 20 minutes and wash off with plenty of clean water. Moisturize!

Results and Benefits

Almonds makes skin smooth, soft and radiant while the other ingredients moisturizes the skin and provide required nourishment to the skin. Honey is also a natural skin lightener. This pack effectively cures acne spots, blemishes, tan and clogged pores. You can use this mask on the very same day when the previously mentioned scrub is performed, to nourish and calm down the skin and to retain it's natural oils. Dry skinned people are suggested to follow this mask once in two days or even everyday to achieve good results in these 30 days of skin regime :) Oily guys and girls, twice a week is enough. :)

Other tips: Drink plenty of water and use a high SPF sunscreen in these 30 days to prevent the fairness you gained or else the results will be lost. A good 8 hours sleep maintaining your skin clean these days is also very important for good results.

Hope you liked the skin regime package. Drop your comments for doubts :D I am here to help!

Homemade Cleanser for Fair Complexion

I would like to remind you all once again, pale and bleached skin is not beautiful as most of the people think. They run behind a myth called "Fairness". They all need whiter skin, so they bleach it with chemicals and spoils the skin texture. What do you get by bleaching your skin and treating it with chemicals? You can achieve a temporary brightness, also it will never look healthy for sure. Soon after bleaching, you will get allergies and rough skin. No use of worrying after that, so please do avoid chemicals over your skin.

Dark or fair, a skin is beautiful only if it is clean, clear and soft. There are many people who have lovely dark complexion without any blemishes. In this post let me give you some effective natural home remedies which helps skin to get rid of blemishes and get brighter than before. Glowing skin is beautiful!! You have to follow the below cleansing tips without fail to achieve a lovely bright complexion.

ROLE OF CLEANSING IN SKINCARE

Cleansing plays an important role in the health and beauty of your skin. You should choose a perfect cleanser for your skin type seeing whether your skin is oily, dry, or normal. Personally I recommend using Clean and Clear Foaming Facial Wash if you have extremely oily skin and Ponds Daily Face Wash for dry skins. You should keep in mind that in winters, you should be aware of choosing a correct cleanser hence your skin loses excess moisture. I have normal skin and I use Ponds Daily Face Wash in winter :) It cleanses my skin gently without leaving it tight or dry.

HOMEMADE SKIN CLEANSERS FOR BRIGHT FAIR SKIN

Other than these branded products, you can also go for natural homemade cleansers to achieve a beautiful complexion! :) It is so simple to make your own cleanser.

Skin brightening Homemade Cleanser

• Take 2 teaspoons of gram flour, add some green gram powder, few drops of lime juice and half a teaspoon of grounded oats to it.
• Add required water to make a thick paste.
• Apply it over your face and neck and leave it for 10 minutes to work on your skin to remove the impurities and tan.
• After that wet your hands, tap your face gently and scrub the skin with circular motion for 5 minutes.
• Wash off completely with clean and cold water. That's it. This natural cleansing recipe beats even costly branded face washes leaving your skin clean, clear, soft and dirt free. If this is used daily, you can see the difference in your skin within a week. It removes the suntan and improves skin complexion removing the scars and dark spots.

A simple tip, if you have dry skin add a bit of honey to it as it has hydrating properties which nourishes dry skin.

Cleansing should be done twice a day with soap or face wash and more than 5 to 6 times a day with clean fresh water to achieve good complexion fast. Splash fresh water over your face whenever you get time everyday to achieve a lovely bright complexion! :)

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..

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.

• 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!! :)

Curd has lots of special and natural qualities which removes SUNTAN. In India and some other countries, majority of the people both men and women are tired of using creams and lotions to whiten their skin, getting no results at all.
