Korean Skin Routine

Hi friends!

I seem to be impressed with a new skin routine that I have been following religiously these days. It is one of the famous and popularly the best known skin routine for a clear and healthy skin. It is the Korean Skin Routine.

Things needed:
Oil, Cleanser, Face wash, Scrub, Face mask, Toner, Sunscreen

Basic Steps:

Step 1: Massage oil onto your facial skin for about five minutes to remove dirt from the skin pores. I use Olive oil for this purpose. Use cotton ball or pad to remove the dirt.
Step 2: Apply cleansing milk and again massage for few minutes. This will also remove any remaining dirt from the skin. Use cotton ball again to remove the dirt. I use Ayur Cleansing Milk for this step.
Step 3: Next wash your face with a good face wash. I use Nutregena face wash. I do use a cleansing brush in order to avoid using my hand on my face.
Step 4: Use a gentle scrub on your face that has soft granules of scrubbing particles to gently remove dead skin cells from the skin. I use Everyouth Walnut Scrub.
Step 5: Apply a face mask that could be used daily for this step. Or limit it for once a week. Wash face after the mask dries. I use a face mask which is very gentle and less drying to my skin.
Step 6: Pat your skin dry with a towel. Apply few drops of toner onto a cotton pad and simply dab on your now soft skin to balance its PH level. I use Ayur Toner.
Step 7: Applying a good sunscreen is the last step. I use La Shield Sunscreen Gel because I have an oily skin.

That's it! Try for a week or two and you will surely be delighted. It does not take much of your time.

Lakme Eyeconic Kajal




Hi girls,

I am going to give the review of Lakme Eyeconic Kajal today because after trying different brands of kajal, I am finally ready to give my judgement that Lakme's Eyeconic is the best kajal with the right price and it is definitely worth it.

My experience:
I apply the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal daily. This one lasts all day till I get back home after office. The Kajal does not smudge anytime until you yourself rub your eyes by mistake. It was very easy to remove. No allergic kind of reactions you get when you use this Kajal. It lasts for long. I might have slipped it from my hand a couple of times but it never broke so soon. It will break if you throw this Kajal with force when you are frustrated but unlike others it would not break when you drop it for the first time.




Rating:
5/5

Pros:
Stays long.
Has vitamin E.
No allergic causing ingredients
Affordable

Cons:
None !

Price: 180 Rs

I can't live without Lakme Eyeconic Kajal. You also try and let me also know your opinion!

Remedy For Athlete's Foot

                    

Hi friends,

Recently I travelled to a holiday resort in a village full of greenery and fresh air. It was drizzling moderately with cool mist. I enjoyed a delicious feast at one of the star hotels .During this period of happiness and comfort, I felt a bit down.

This feeling was of mild itching due to some fungal infection between my left toe fingers. The reason for this was due to me wearing high heels during moist climate. I was a little worried because it was a problem that could not be ignored and it was irritating me to the core. I was wondering what could help me get rid of this itchiness. As usual, my mother came to my rescue. She suggested me to first apply drops of lemon juice followed by a thick layer of Boro Plus cream. This had to kept for couple of hours and repeated for three days. The cream had to be continued to be applied on the infected part until the itchiness was completely reduced because this fungal infection is prone to happen again if not taken care. This cream also helps to get rid of the weird smell that results due to infection. Along with this ,a tea tree oil massage,once in a week, will also help to keep this infection at bay.
I was very lucky enough to buy this cream and oil on my journey so could manage this issue else it would have been tough for me to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of this village I had been to.

You also try it and let me know the results.

How to get fairer underarms

                      


Hi readers,

This post is regarding the ways to get fairer underarms. Dark underarms will usually make one feel bad. It is a must to keep it fair and neat. Follow below solutions to get fair underarms.

Solution 1:
Mix rice flour, baking soda, honey, milk and water. Apply on the areas that need this treatment. Wait for it to dry. Repeat again the next day. Stick to this routine for about 3 weeks. You will surely see a difference.

Solution 2:
There is a product called Qraa whitening for underarms. This product does a good job and makes sure that your underarms are brightened without any harsh chemicals. It works sooner than natural way and saves a lot of time. Just wash the area and apply this cream. No need to wash it. Repeat daily till you see expected results.

Apart from these solutions, you need to scrub the dark areas ,apply a cleanser and remove dirt using cotton swab. Then follow either of the above solutions.

Remember, it is possible to keep your underarms fair. Those areas are dark only because of sweat, dirt and also due to sun so apply sunscreen too. Maintain for a month to actually see and believe it.

Please let me know your results!


Glyco 6 Cream Review



Hi friends,

Today I am going to give review of an ointment called Glyco 6. This is a treatment for acne. Glyco 6 is nothing but glycolic acid 6%. I started applying because I have been noticing new pimples breaking out recently without any reason. I guess it's because of stress. I will be posting another update regarding this treatment soon.

Procedure:
Wash your face. Let it dry for about 10 to 20 minutes. Apply this cream on your face. If you feel any stinging sensation, it is normal so nothing to worry. Make sure to apply this only at night. Apply sunscreen whenever moving outside of home.

Results:
I applied it. I did not feel any stinging or heating sensation. I feel my skin was smooth. It's fragrance is very mild and nice. Pimples were kinda reducing in size.
I wore sunscreen without fail. I drank lot of water. My pores were also getting into good shape. This treatment maintains my skin. People try glycolic peels that have more  than 50% of glycolic acid in them. They get good results sooner. This glyco cream is 6% but still it does a good job .It clears spots, scars and changes skin texture to give an even tone to it. It is milder than Retin A treatment. This is a good alternative to Retin A treatment.

Rating: 5/5

I am only suggesting this treatment based on my experience. Consult doctor before trying out any treatments like this because results vary from person to person. This treatment could be tried even during pregnancy because it's concentration level is less than 10% . Well, you could still consider doctor's advice if you are planning to use this treatment during your pregnancy time.

Try it and let me know your results!!!
