La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion Micro Exfoliant : Review
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion, needs no introduction. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo and La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion are considered to be one of the best skin care combination for acne prone skin. The effaclar combination contains micro exfoliants such as LHA and micronized benzoyl peroxide to unclog pores and heal acne.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunblock SPF 50+ & PA+++ : Review
Guest Review by Sreeparna Ganguly I have photosensitive skin since childhood. Whenever my skin is exposed to the sunlight for more than five minutes my skin gets reddened and starts to sting like hell. Later the burning sensation subsides but the skin darkens. Sunscreens with SPF 30 or more with minimum PA++ are my necessity rather than a cosmetic cure. Over the years I have had trial and error sessions with many sunscreens in which I have found that majority of the creams that provide sun-protection are somehow or other comedogenic in nature. I had to reject many of them in the past just because they broke my facial skin…

Himalaya Herbals Moisturising Aloe Vera Face Wash : Review
Himalaya Herbals is a very affordable and trusted brand. It is a house hold name. It has vast product variety. The products offered are herbal. Be it face, body or hair, for every skin/hair type/condition, Himalaya has great products to offer. Today I am going to review a moisturising face wash, Aloe Vera Face Wash. If you think, you can use little harsh cleanser during winter and follow up with a heavy duty, it’s your call, but I feel, tempering with skin’s natural moisture only hurts it further. Harsh cleansers can deter the pH level of skin calling for trouble. Skin looks dull and rough if it is ripped off…

Essentials Restocked
Since my last empties post, I have been restocking stuff that are essential for my skin care. Have a look. Night Creams – The Body Shop & L’Oreal Paris: I know you will ask why so many night creams. The Body Shop Oils of Life is my current favourite. I can’t stop using it, it’s so addictive. The Body Shop Vitamin E Night Cream is a high in moisture cream, which suits my hubby. My sister gifted me L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Laser Night Cream, since she did not like the way it stings her. While I have used it during last winters, and I didn’t feel much sting. I might…

Pure Shea Butter by Karite Buerre : My Search For Lip Balm Ends
Dry days have arrived. I have started feeling little chill in the air and am loving it. This is actually an amazing time. We have got so many festivals going on and the summer is bidding good bye for few months. Recently I have started feeling that my oily skin has turned little flaky and rough.

So I sometimes dab on some butter on my face, I mean Shea Butter. Karite Buerre recently entered into skin care. I was introduced to this brand by Fab Bag. I…

Cheryl’s Cosmeceuticals Derma Cleanse : Review
I always prefer creamy cleansers than foamy face washes. I don’t like the soapy film that most of the face washes leave behind even after washing thoroughly. Especially at night, I always use a cleanser to take the day off from my face. My current favourite cleansers are Cetaphil & Cheryl’s Derma Cleanse. Most of the times, I go for Derma Cleanse because it’s specially formulated for acne prone skin. Cheryl’s Derma Cleanse, is specially formulated with cinnamon & biosulphur. Cinnamon provides antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and microdermabrasion benefits. Biosulphur contains sulphur which heals acne naturally. It is formulated for oily & acne prone skin. Price: Rs. 750 for 180ml. Ingredients:…
