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.

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.

Harsh cleansers can deter the pH level of skin calling for trouble. Skin looks dull and rough if it is ripped off…

Do You Need A Night Cream? : #thebasicsseries
A night cream, is a specially formulated cream to be used at night before you retire to your bed. But why do you need one? Isn’t it cosmetic industry’s gimmick to sell more products in the name of night cream? Maybe, maybe not. Let’s find out. Do you ever wonder why a baby’s skin is so soft and plumpy? The reason is the natural moisture that a baby’s skin contains. This moisture keeps on depleting as the baby grows. This moisture must be reverted back to the skin to keep it healthy and glowing. Pollution and today’s life style can play havoc on one’s skin. Night time is the time…
