My Views and Ratings

The Packaging
This product comes in a white with orange coloured tub with a screw type cap and a white vacuum lid inside it. I hesitated at first and got little disappointed because it comes in tub as I always feel tub packaging unhygienic! (have to dip your finger every time into it) But for the consistency of the product, it can't be squeezed easily from a tube or a bottle, so the tub is rightly selected for it I guess. Still I expect an alternate packaging for this because it's little tricky to take out the lid and take the product out without wastage or spillage. Other than this, I am okay with the sturdiness of the product which makes it very travel friendly.
Rating: 3.5/5




Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
The face wash is dark peach in colour and is very concentrated as well. It has a very thick consistency but still a very little scoop is enough for every wash as it spreads incredibly smooth over my facial skin. It looks pulpy as said in the name and so I loved the texture very much. About the fragrance, it is just so yummy. I can really feel the smell of honey and some essential oils in it every time I use it. Honey is a natural skin friendly ingredient as you all know. Overall I loved this face wash very much for it's concentrated natural consistency, as well as the fragrance. I loved smelling it all the time! Nothing bad I find in it.
Rating: 5/5


How It Works On Me
The very first time I got this, I worried "Oh so thick! How it's going to spread on my face easily?" hence I scooped a lot, poured some drops of water into it and started lathering. I was rubbing my hands very hard. Not much lather at all! Got a very bad impression. Then I worked it out on my face by smoothly giving little strokes. The smell was yummyyyy!! I also guessed that it won't get washed off so easily for its thick consistency. But what a magic! it requires a very small amount of water to get washed off. My face is squeeze clean then! I really couldn't believe.
    My skin became instantly softer, smoother and radiant. All the bad impressions which I got before were broke into pieces that second. I fell in love with this face wash! It cleanses all the dirt, pollution, oiliness and also left my skin nourished. This is not much lathering, but really cleanses well than many other lathering face washes. I tend to have normal to oily skin in sunny days, it suited me well. I felt light, nourished and fresh. My mom who has dry skin felt this good too! She said that this one is very nice and she's going to use this one thereafter all the time. I really find no bad about this face wash expect the tub packaging. But it wont be a big con seeing the benefits. Extremely oily skins may feel this little heavy on sunny days but it works really well with most the skin types. This one is going to my HG list :D
Rating: 5/5

PROS
  1. Well concentrated pulpy consistency.
  2. All natural ingredients like sweet almond oil, honey, saffron extracts, rose oil etc. They are very natural and good for our skin. Even sensitive skins will find it good.
  3. No parabens, SLS, Harmful Chemicals and Colours (Double great!)
  4. Even though the consistency is quite thick, a very little amount spreads over the skin easily and gets washed off easily. Thus, the product will last for many days.
  5. A great pick for dry skins as this is very nourishing.
  6. Makes skin soft and smooth instantly.
  7. I didn't experience any breakouts or acne while using this. Totally natural & Side effect free.
  8. It suits normal skins well too. Cleanses out all the dirt, pollution and nourishes without any slippery feel or oiliness.
  9. Affordable for the worth (It lasts long as a tiny scoop is enough for a wash)
  10. Travel friendly as the cap is sturdy.
  11. Yippee!! Last but not least! It's fragrance, just takes me away. Very natural honey and essential oil smell it has! Not sure about how others feel but it is not going to affect even sensitive noses.
CONS
  1. The tub packaging :( Makes it unhygienic to use (Well this can't be taken as a con for the worth and consistency of the product, this much well concentrated product can't be squeezed easily from a tube)
  2. Availability is the problem. It is not available at many places. But can be purchased from many leading online shopping sites.
I am not going to count these silly cons in my overall rating! This product is going to my HG list for sure! :)

My Recommendation: Sensitive skins, Dry skins, Normal skins listen.. Please get this one without fail! This is such a wonderful natural pulpy nourishing face wash. It instantly softens skins and nourishes it without any greasiness. Not sure about extremely oily skins, this might suit you in dry winters.

Overall Rating: 5/5 (I can't see the tub packaging as a con while seeing these much benefits) I love this product very much!

Will I Repurchase?: Sure! Every time.. This one is going to my HG list!

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!

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!! :)

Nourishing Winter Pedicure at Home

Hiya girls and guys! Hope this winter is going on well. All of us need extra skin nourishment in winter as our skin loses all the moisture and natural oils. Even I do feel uncomfortable with my skin in winters as its very dry and flaky. It's not only enough taking care of your facial and body skin with lotions and creams, we should also take care of our precious feet which bears our whole weight :). Even in summers our feet are usually dry and rough, then just imagine how it will be in winters? Just check your feet now, touch it gently. What do you feel? It's like toughing a rough cactus isn't it? :( My feet was like same till today morning, as I didn't perform any pedicure after summer. Today morning I found out an interesting way to perform a best winter pedicure and my feet became instantly soft and bright :)) as you see in the below picture..


So, how to perform this nourishing winter pedicure at home? And what are the things needed? A very few things which you can find in your kitchen :D

THINGS NEEDED
1. Salt
2. A small tub
3. Essential oils such as olive, almond, grape seed oils
4. Foot scrubber, loofah or a pumice stone
5. Soft towel
6. Nail cutter
7. Nail polish remover.
8. Cold cream or moisturizer.

FOOT SCRUBBER
Foot scrubber is very essential for every pedicure because it scrubs your feet well, removes the flaky dead skin cells and makes feet soft and smooth. If you don't have one you can purchase it from your nearest department store or you as also replace a foot scrubber with a good loofah pad or a pumice stone.


Okay now I will give the steps of performing this pedicure. :D

METHOD
1.Remove your old nail polish and file your nails. Fill the tub with warm water. The water shouldn't be too hot or cold, it should be bearable for your foot. Hot water is used in pedicure because it loosens up the pores of your skin and makes the scrubbing process more easier and fuller. It softens the rough skin and thus the impurities and dead skin gets removed easily :)

2. Now mix a hand full of salt, few drops of your regular body wash or shampoo and the essential oils to the tub of water. Salt acts as a great exfoliate while the essential oils nourishes your feet and prevent it from drying.

3. Blend the minute of water well to get lather like this and soak your feet in the tub for 15 minutes.


4. After 15 minutes, take out your feet and scrub it with your foot scrubber gently over the sensitive skin surfaces and little harder over the rough parts of your feet. Don't be too harsh to your feet while scrubbing.


5. After 10 to 15 minutes of scrubbing, wash your feet with plenty of clean and cold water. Towel dry and moisturize with a good moisturizing lotion or a cold cream like the ponds cold cream which I use all the time :) You can coat your nails with a good nail enamel if you wish. The process is complete. :)

NOTE: This winter pedicure can be followed once in every 15 days to prevent the beauty of your precious feet :) You should clean and moisturize your feet every night before going to bed in order to make it look and feet soft and smooth all the time :)

Softy softly feet is all yours now! Say goodbye to winter dryness :D :D

Now I am gonna review a product of olay, the Olay Natural White Healthy Fairness Day Cream. :) I guess you all would have heard about this product by television ads. I am using this cream for past one month. I have already tried this on summer, but it didn't suit my skin because of it's little greasy consistency. But in winter.. wow! It's just a lovely cream.

A best winter skin cream which normal and dry skinned people can use. I am using this cream both at day and night and seeing good results over my skin. This milky orangish colored cream is very smooth and smells pleasant. I love this smell very much which impressed me in the first use itself. It doesn't suit my skin in summer even though I do have normal skin, but it acts as a nice moisturizer and a wonderful skin nourishing winter cream at present. It absorbs without any trouble over your skin, as you see in the below pictures.

BEFORE APPLYING THE CREAM

  • A very best winter cream for normal and dry skins as I already said :)). It protects skin from losing moisture and keeps moisturizer for long hours with a super pleasant smell in humid days.
  • Easily available, that you can get one at your nearest departmental store.

CONS
  • Oily skinned people please stay away from this cream :( It will make your skin even more oilier. It made my skin greasy when I used it in summer. It's not a good makeup base for normal and oily skins.
  • Even though I mentioned it as the best winter facial moisturizer, it is surely not a good summer cream for both oily and normal skinned people, you can use it in summer only if you have dry skin.
No other cons :) I love this product very much and recommend everyone to try OLAY NATURAL WHITE healthy fairness day cream in this winter!

I give 4 out of 5 for OLAY NATURAL WHITE :D :D

Beauty Benefits of Vaseline

Hey everyone! Hope you all liked my previous posts! :) In this post I am going to write about the "Beauty Benefits of Vaseline". I guess you all know what Vaseline is, but still I will tell once for the people who doesn't know. VASELINE is nothing but a Petroleum Jelly. There are many household benefits of Vaseline but today I am gonna simply list out simple tips using Vaseline to enhance your beauty in all the seasons, especially in winter ha ha..:) Winter is the worst season for dry skinned people as the humidity in the air dries out the skin :( But a small box of Vaseline can save your beauty throughout the winter! Let's move on to the tips! Enjoy :) Don't forget to leave your comments after reading


DRY LIPS
The very first problem we all face in winter is chapped lips :( :( we gets our lips dry all the time in winter, it may even bleed for few people. We need to continuously moisturize our lips to prevent them from drying and chapping. A few natural products and Vaseline can help this! You can simply carry the Vaseline petroleum jelly in your handbag and apply it on your lips whenever you feel dry. You can also mix Vitamin E oil with Vaseline, boil this mixture and cool it down to use this as a nourishing homemade lip balm.

WEAK NAILS
Weakness and dryness causes breakage of nails. This spoils the nail growth. You can simply take some amount of Vaseline and massage your finger and leg nails with this to prevent nails from chapping. This massage also improves blood circulation and promotes healthy strong nail growth. For better results do Vaseline nail massage every night before going to bed.

CRACKED FEET
Cracked feet looks really ugly and horrible. This is mainly caused because of improper maintenance of your feet, even in winter. Wash your feet and apply Vaseline every night to prevent cracking. To cure the cracks which you already have, do a home pedicure with loofah pad or scrubber and then moisturize your feet with Vaseline. It is recommend to nourish and moisturize feet with Vaseline after every pedicure.

DRY AND TIGHT SKIN
For people who have dry skin, Vaseline is really a good friend :) Apply Vaseline over your skin and massage well for 10 minutes. Then wash off with clean, cold water and towel dry. This process prevents your skin from drying for a long time.Mixture of Vaseline and rose water can be used as an instant moisturizing body lotion for dry skinned people!

Have a Vaseline winter ! :) :) Prevent your skin!

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.
  • Apply this over your body skin and massage gently to let the skin absorb it. This prevents skin from cracking and drying and makes your skin soft and supple.
If your skin is extra dry, the amount of glycerin should be increased to balance it.
