Do you feel ticklish? {Your Opinion}

· · 11 Comments

Hehe…I do!!! In fact, when ever I have to get underarms done, its a big torture for me 😀 Being ticklish with burning hot is not exactly an amazing position to stay in!! And, I anyway have a low tolerance to pain. In fact, this time when I went for waxing, I did face a lot of pain, more than normal. 
I am thinking of taking an aspirin next time. Probably, it might help through the torturous sessions 🙁 In fact, I got my arms waxed after a long time. I know I am weird 😀 And, honestly, my arms have lost all sensations!! I don’t quite know how to explain it. You might understand what I am saying if you are not used to getting your arms waxed regularly.
The reason I don’t get my arms waxed regularly is because they are quite dry and prone to allergies and also, their get tanned very quickly. In fact, I can also say that my arms have started itching badly and are very very sensitive right now. Do you have any remedies for it? Oh, and, also, are you ticklish?

Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion {Product Review}

· · 25 Comments

Price: Rs 179 for 250ml

Pros
gets absorbed really quickly
hydrates really well
lasts long
My Experience
As you all know, Nivea is my favourite brand. Ok, I know I am sounding like a broken record…repeating the same thing time and again. Anyways, I got this body lotion when I had run out of everything but later on, I did find a body butter left over and parachute body lotion as well. 

Back to the review, the product is white in color and comes in a typical Nivea packaging. The texture of the product is really thin so it gets absorbed really fast but, amazingly, it stays on skin for long. As far as I have seen, it stays all night long.   
It keeps the skin moisturized and hydrated and stays true to its claims of express hydration. It boasts of hydra IQ formula (which is really good) and blue lotus scent (which I didn’t really find amazing). The product makes the skin look glowing and supple and has no cons for me.
Anyways, I do know that nivea has amazing creams which have been launched outside…wish they come to India real soon. This product is an absolute try and the best part is it relieves my skin’s dryness even these days so it is absolutely useful for dry skin as well. It also works well on dry feet.
Have you tried this? What did you think?

My Experience

After a very long time, I have used a body wash. I bought this on recommendation from Shikha herself, one of the founders of Neev. She said that it is one of their bestsellers and I can imagine why. Its simply amazing in one word.

Neev Rose Olive Body Wash Product Review at Perfect Skin Care for you

The ingredients list is on the top of my list in the praises for the product. It uses lye (potassium hydroxide for liquid soaps) which is equivalent to lye (sodium hydroxide in solid soaps) in handmade soaps. It also has rose petals in the bottle.
It comes in a flip top bottle and the texture of the product is quite weird. The top of the layer generally crystallizes which I guess is due to the reaction with air but otherwise the soap is liquid. When I say crystallizes, it just becomes a little jelly kinds.
Whether in crystalline form or liquid form, it lathers really well and is very gentle on the skin. The only problem is that you HAVE to follow it up with a moisturizer otherwise the skin does feel a bit dry. No, there is no stretchy feeling.
I think this may be due to the dryness in the weather. But, it will suit the skin in summers. It smells really good of roses. And, it also leaves the skin really soft. I would definitely recommend you to try this once. They also have shampoo with the same formula.
