Nivea Nourishing Body Milk {Product Review}

· · 4 Comments

Price: Rs 198 for 250ml
Ingredients
My Experience
It is an intensive body lotion meant for very dry skin but as far as the texture of the lotion goes, it is not very thick as one would actually expect. Instead, its a smooth lotion and is very easily spreadable. And, one thing which leaps out is that you feel the lotion is very hydrating. It moisturizes the skin very nicely and leaves a very healthy glow behind making the skin look very glowing and supple and dewy. The staying power of the lotion is very very good. It lasts around 12-16 hours at a go and this is in the temperatures varying from 4-9 degrees.
My Recommendation
Yes, it is a good body lotion for all skin types.

Keep your bathroom clean {Health}

· · 1 Comment

In my post “Are your salons hygienic enough?“, I had talked about the cleanliness of the salons and their bathrooms. To know if you salons are hygienic, check out the hygiene levels of the bathroom of the salon. Similar principle applies to our homes too. Keep your bathrooms clean to prevent bad smells in the house and diseases.
One of the most ignored aspects of bathroom cleaning is the accumulation of dirt and hair in the drain openings or filters. Always clean these drain filters regularly, preferably twice a week. Otherwise, a accumulation of all the garbage there really makes the bathroom look dirty.

Himalaya Fairness Face Pack {Product Review}

· · 3 Comments

This was one product which was on my wish list since long. I had heard great reviews of the product and many had claimed that the product had removed tanning to quite an extent and since I am basking in the sun almost everyday so tanning is one of the first effects apparent. So, lets see if it worked or not?
Price: Rs 60 for 50gms

My Experience
It is a soft brown colored mousse textured mask which is creamy enough and does spread easily. And, dries fast enough – around 10-15 minutes. But, it is a clay based mask so it hardens and is difficult to remove as usual. And, I would say it will suit all skin types as it is a little creamy.
But, as regards to the results, well my dad commented that my face was looking really bright and fair 🙂 So, I guess you know coz guys and males hardly notice things and generally give negative comments!!! And, I think it does help remove tanning but I am not very sure of that claim though I had used the pack on alternate days for almost two weeks. May be it does and may be it doesn’t. But, I definitely don’t have anything negative to say about the product. It doesn’t dry out the skin afterward but it is better to follow with a moisturizer.
My Recommendation
Worth a try anyways!!! And, good at pecking up the skin in a rush 🙂
