Solution for tiny bumps on face!



Hi everyone,

Recently I had been to my hometown and oh gosh, the climate was quite harsh on my skin. It was cold and dry. I had not taken any moisturizer. I was following a regime called caveman's regime. I was not using any cream on my face after cleansing the skin. So since I had not taken any moisturizer, my skin was very dry and due to which I started getting tiny bumps near hairline. These did not have any white stuff(pus) in them. As days went by I started seeing more and more ! I became worried.
I decided to check what could be done for this problem. First I made sure that i would not touch the bumps, because if you touch them then definitely you would see a pimple the very next day because your fingers would have bacteria in them which would cause it to produce pus. Somehow I convinced myself not to worry. Second I decided to check for a good toner. I ordered Kaya Skin Clinic Revitalizing Tonic! I Third I convinced myself that the pimples that I have got are not aggressive ones and they would go away if they are left alone.
It was time to leave my hometown. When I left my hometown, I told myself that my skin will definitely feel better soon.
I finally got the toner. I cleansed with clean and clear morning burst face wash and then followed with the toner. My god! My face had such a nice glow! Applied cetaphil moisturizing cream. My face was not dry anymore! What a relief! After 3 days , my skin started clearing up. I was quite happy!
I learnt a lesson. We should not let our skin get dry.  The toner had witch hazel, cucumber extract and niacinamide . These ingredients are really beneficial to our skin! It helps skin to clear up. Clears pimples, blemishes and tightens pores.

Brighten face without using any bleaching cream!

Brighten face without using bleaching cream, curd


Hi girlies,

First of all, thanks for sending me mails about why I had not been updating new posts. I was a little busy with my 'not so personal' life. Sorry for that. Well today I am finally writing a post. Hope you like this one too...

Yesterday after a long tiring yet beautiful day , I looked at myself in the mirror and wondered why I have been getting punished by Sun without any reason. Yes you are right! I was tanned. My skin is usually medium to fair color but yesterday I was looking a bit 'not so fair'. So , I started thinking about what I must do to make it little lighter.

At night I usually drink curd after having a nice decent dinner . I decided to use the same on my face. I applied and it gave me a nice cool feeling. My face felt a bit relaxed. I let it be overnight on my skin. Now, guess what happened in the morning.I woke up, looked at myself and wow! I saw a very brighter skin. I was so surprised. I washed my face and then I found that my skin was looking like it was bleached. I loved it! There were a nice glow! So that means we could get a brighter skin without using a bleaching cream. Curd was enough to do the same. Just a small bowl of curd. No need to apply a thick layer too. A very light layer itself does a good job!

Try it girls and let me know if it worked for you too!

Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal 6 in 1 Pack Review

Hola everyone!

Today I would be giving my review on ABC pack of Aroma Magic.

Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal 6 in 1 Pack Review


Product description:

The Product has been vividly described like this- I transform your skin in six miraculous ways. I lighten and brighten the skin instantly by exfoliating dead skin cells. I deep clean with activated carbon that draws dirt , oil and make up. I nourish with restorative minerals and vitamins present in Himalayan clay. I protect with an anti bacterial shield provided by organic essential oils. I gently smoothen and I also tighten the pores leaving you looking younger, fresher and radiant as ever.


Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal 6 in 1 Pack Review





Directions for use:

Wash your face. Pat dry. Apply a thin layer of the pack to your face and let it dry for 15 minute. Rinse off. You may follow up with moisturiser. Use once a week for best results.

So what is my experience with Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal 6 in 1 Pack??

After reading many reviews about the Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal 6 in 1 Pack , I finally decided to buy this product online because I did not get time to go to a nearby store. Everyone likes to shop online nowadays right??

First and foremost the most important thing I noticed about this pack is the color of the product. It is dark grey in color !  


Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal 6 in 1 Pack Review



I washed face with my favourite cleanser and let it dry . I mixed a little bit of water to the cream to get a smooth paste . You could use the cream sans water too. I applied this paste and saw myself turning out to be a batwoman . Its smell is quite adjustable. Very mild fragrance. It took about 15 to 20 mins to dry. It tightened my skin. When it dries is when it actually does its work of pulling out the dirt and debris from the pores.  

Once it dried I washed my face with cold water. Spent time to rinse out this pack from my face. You have to spend time to remove the dirt you see. I experienced a soft skin while washing my face. Later used towel to dry my facial skin. Face was still soft but little dry so I applied Neem tree gel on my face.

Pros:
  • It reduced the size of pores.
  • Gave a glow to my face.
  • Cleaned face leaving no dirt nor junk stuff to stay.
  • Travel friendly.
  • Nice packaging. There are no chances of it spilling out without your knowledge.
  • Pretty long shelf life.
Cons:
  • One need to spend a little more of their leisure time to rinse this wonderful stuff off their face.
  • Moisturiser is needed to avoid dry skin unless your skin is super oily. 
Ratings :
5/5

Would I recommend this product to my friends?

Yes 100%.

Price : 380Rs but I bought it for 375Rs on Amazon.in.

Anything special I noticed after using this cream??

I noticed that you could keep pimples under control. If you have any pimple ready to come out then dab this cream on it and voila ! bye bye nasty zit! Pimple disappears without leaving a mark! I feel that the reason behind this miracle to happen is the fact that this cream contains vitamins, minerals and essential oils.

So try it guys! I have fallen in love with it! You will too ....

Planning to give it a try??

Home Remedy : Tea tree oil and olive oil massage


Hey readers,
Last night I felt that my face was looking tired so I gave it a nice gentle massage. Morning washed face with my cleanser and voila my skin thanked me a lot....:) So what was this massage for exactly????

Two oils which I felt were super good for skin were ready to gel with each other and work hard to remove dirt and stuff from my face. They were - Tea tree oil and extra virgin olive oil... :)
I pour required amount of olive oil and few drops of tea tree oil enough to cover my face. Mixed them and applied with my finger tips, then massaged gently. I could feel some dry skin here and there, especially near the t zone. I rubbed the area around the nose to remove dead skin cells. The oil massage will soften your skin ! :)
After this I just washed my hand and slept. I wanted the oil to get absorbed into my skin throughout night. These oils are non pore cloggers so didn't have to worry about leaving them overnight. In the morning , I cleansed my skin using my regular cetaphil oily skin cleanser and this helped me to remove the oil which had dirt along with it. Once this was done, the pores were clear and it was visibly clean. I didn't use any moisturizer till noon because I wanted to see the difference this would make to my skin.
Result: My skin wasn't oily till evening  and I didn't feel the need for any cream nor powder .The oils had fooled my skin not to produce too much of sebum that ends up with clogged pores which in turn would cause breakouts. The oils had indeed done a great job! ;)
Update: Been doing this for three days. The pores are shrinking in size. Its more clearer! Will continue for a week or so and update you guys !

Update: You definitely need to try this out guys!!! Its great!

Crawlers!

Hi friends,

Before I tell about the actual reason for writing this blog I would like to tell you a small story.If you do not have the time to read the story then skip to the next paragraph ..:P... This is a story told to me by my social studies teacher in my tenth class.

There was a servant in a rich lady's house who could not sleep at night.Whole day she would work , get very tired but still could not end up sleeping.The owner noticed her weary eyes and called her aside to enquire about her trouble.She tells her that every night when she feels sleepy and goes to bed , she couldn't sleep and has not been able to figure out the reason for it.The servant also mentions that unconsciously she is being engrossed into thinking about her tensions and worries and maybe that could be the reason for it.The rich lady smiles and then gives her a bottle of oil and says to her to apply that on her head.The servant applies it the same night and sleeps well.She comes the next day and informs her owner about it.The rich lady smiles and replies to her that the real reason behind her loss of sleep was not her worries but LICE! The lady had recognized this problem when she had found her scratching her head constantly. The oil had got rid of it..:)

Do you or your friend have problem of lice? It's nothing to be embarassed about.There is definitely a solution for it.It's called Perlice! (Courtesy: It is manufactured by Galderma India Pvt. Ltd)


Perlice Permethrin cream for lice



Directions:
Wash your hair and towel dry it.After hair slightly dries ,apply the lotion on your hair.Rinse after 10 minutes.

Gets rid of lice.
No rashes.
No itching sensation after hair wash.
Nits fall sooner or later on their own :P

Didn't find any :)

Its safe and easiest way to get rid of those innocent blood sucking crawlers !
