How to Make Fairness Night Cream at Home?

As all we know, the thing 'skin fairness' is a huge craze among most of the Indian women. But our born skin colour is something we cannot change naturally. Chemical bleaching, whitening and other skin lightening treatments can give you a temporary brighter skin or end up in resulting a PALE unhealthy looking skin but only natural ingredients can work on your skin to bring out that original brightness. Don't mistake the word brightness for white skin. Pale, dusky, tan olive or dark, whatever skin type you have, your skin is beautiful if it is bright and glowing! A dark skinned, flawless, supple and glowing skin is seen beautiful when compared to a pale skin with dullness and blemishes. Don't you agree?

Vivel Active Fair, The Complete Fairness Cream Review

Before a week, I came across a television ad about a newly launched ITC product, the new Vivel Active Fair The complete fairness cream. I just wanted to check out how it works as a day cream. I have no intention to get whiter skin because I love my brown complexion. But yet, in search of a better mattifying day cream I bought a sample pack of this product a week ago. I have been using this for past one week. Let me share my experience with this fairness cream here in this review today.

 

Product Description:

(Vivel active fair with the unique Fairness Lock System works in 3 steps)
1. Locks in fairness ingredients
2. Inside action for fairness
3. Outside action for sun protection (Spf 15)
RESULTS : Superior, Faster and Longer lasting Fairness. Clinically Proven.

My Experience with this Product:
I applied this cream twice a day, once in the morning and once before going to bed at night. It has a nice fragrance which doesn't really make my nose feel bad. It is light and in milky pink colour. The cream is so smooth and hence the skin absorbs it quickly. I felt an instant brightness in my skin after applying this cream. This cream suited for my normal skin very well. It doesn't feel sticky or too thick. This doesn't make my skin magically fair as shown in TV ads :) but it somewhat evened out my complexion with everyday use.


Before Applying the Cream:



 
After Application:

PROS

• Very affordable and cheap, works good too. (Rs 5 for 9g pack)
• Best to use as a foundation base moisturizer for oily skins.
• Nice fragrance which gives a fresh feel.
• Evens out complexion to an extent with regular use.
• Easily available in supermarkets and other shops.
• It doesn't show any side effects mainly :) I didn't experience any pimple or blackhead using this. Totally safe to use on skin.

CONS

• This cream might not suit dry skins as it doesn't have any good moisturizing ingredient. Dry skinned people should use this cream along with any heavy moisturizer to prevent skin from breaking.
• If you apply too much, It forms an artificial white layer on your skin. :(

No more cons I can find from this cream. It's quite good to use as a foundation base and a normal moisturizer. Even though the product doesn't make skin fairer as it claims, it's a nice product with no side effects. I suggest oily skinned beauties to take a try.

My Rating : 3/5 (-1 for no moisturizing effect and another -1 for ashy layer)
