Day 1 of Using Glycolic Acid : My Experience

glyco 6

It has been a while since I treated my skin good. Over the last few months, my skin has been ignored; it has been tortured by sunlight and dust. Honestly, it is at its worst now! (Being extremely photosensitive, even a minute of light exposure causes redness and sunburn on my skin) As much as I love a healthy chocolate-tan, I dislike my skin to be unevenly toned or rough.

I don’t believe in bleaching or whitening my skin tone but I believe the uneven permatan can be reduced to achieve a smooth, even look all over the body! More than the looks, I want to make my skin healthier and less sun sensitive!

So that is when I decided to give Glycolic acid, a try. It is one of the AHAs and is naturally derived from sugar cane. Glycolic acid has been proven to flake off the dead skin cells effectively, while not causing any damage to your skin. It took me days to read about it and finally convince my mind to try it! Now that I’m ready, I have got this 6% Glycolic acid cream with me!

Nevertheless, I received this lovely hamper from the brand! I’ll be unboxing it and penning down my views about the campaign today! I shall be sharing my (quick) views on the products as well.

Nalpamaradi Tailam : Review and My Experience

nalpamaradi kera tailam

Hi, everyone!

Just like how kumkumadi tailam is famous in the beauty world, yet another oil from Ayurveda is still awaiting the attention it deserves. Here I’m reviewing the nalpamaradi tailam that I use!

For a bit of information, nalpamaradi tailam is nothing but a combination of ‘nalpamaram’– which means four kinds of tea barks in coconut oil with turmeric. It is also known as nalpamaradi kera tailam, nalpamaradi keram as well. These are easily available here in Kerala in every ayurvedic stores. Do check out the nearby ayurvedic stores to know if they have stocks of this tailam.

Price: Rs. 120 for 200 ml

Dove Go Fresh Beauty Bathing Bar Fresh Moisture : Review

Hey, people!

In the recent past, I hadn’t been paying much attention to my body skin! I ignored skin care and started using random shower gels/bathing bars that literally ruined my skin! I wanted to hop into the shower and leave as quickly as possible – to save the time. Only those VERY foamy, gets-washed-off-in-a-jiffy kind of cleansing products occupied my bath and body stash!

As I was settling back to my normal routine gradually, I wanted to go back to my favorite drugstore bath and body products! Dove soaps are a few of them. Ever since I was a kid, I love Dove soaps! I’d used all the variants of their bathing bar launched in India; the normal cream bathing bar, the exfoliating bar, the pink-rosa bar and this go-fresh variant is the latest one I tried! I’ve been using it for a few months now (not daily, though) and here is my review on it! (I mostly use this during day time and for my night showers, I’m using Neutrogena Rain Bath Shower Gel – will review it shortly!)

lotus herbals papayablem creme

Blemished skin is one problem that women with acne face drastically. I do not have major acne but I get few tiny pimples, which go very soon, but leave behind their mark, the ugly blemish! No one likes blemish on the skin! I never thought of trying a product to solve this problem of blemish. But this time I gave a try to Lotus Herbals Papayablem.

The creme promises to fade the blemish in just 2 weeks! Companies do claim many things, but I was still wondering how this is going to fade the blemish, that too in just 2 weeks!

Price: Rs 395 for 50 g; Buy : Amazon.in

diy cane sugar body scrub

Hello everyone!

In today’s post I shall be sharing my favorite DIY body scrub recipe – especially for this winter season when no one wants that flaky skin to be seen. We always tend to apply moisturizer when we see dry patches on our body and this happens mainly on our elbows and knees. But this won’t help in the long run. Dry skin has to be exfoliated and then moisturized; only then it shall look and feel healthy and nourished. Now let me show you how to achieve the same with this simple homemade scrub!
