My Experience
I needed an un-tinted lip balm for regular usage so I got this one.So, did I really like it? Well, I would say that it does protect the lips from sun. This one comes with spf 15. So, that’s a plus. But, I don’t really understand the claims of strengthening the lips so I shall limit the claims to repairing and protecting the lips especially sensitive lips.First of all, I would say that it is hard to apply on the lips and doesn’t glide as easily as other Nivea lip balms. And, regarding the moisturization, I thought that it does keep lips soft but it stays on the lips and the lips feel heavy which is a very irritating in case of lip balms. And, I didn’t really think it stays for too long too. So, as far as my experience is, I am not very happy with this one. I would say that the Hydrocare from Nivea is better than this one.

I have just put my experience in front of you and I leave the decision on you now 🙂Also read other review from the same brand:

Some remedies I read in a magazine so check them out:
  • Rub cucumber slices on your lips.
  • Aloevera gel also works wonders to keep the lips soft.
  • Neem leaves juice is good at controlling chapped and bleeding lips so try this out.
  • And, the very own remedy – “shuddh desi ghee” which keeps the lips soft, pink and beautiful.
So, go ahead and try out these remedies and do not forget to drink lots and lots of water in the winters to keep your lips beautiful. Also, check out this lip scrub to keep away the tanning and do not forget to apply sunscreen regularly on the lips too.

How long do you leave the conditioner? {Tip of the Day}

· · 2 Comments

Ok, so hair care routines are not very easy to follow and varies from person to person depending on their hair types and textures but I really would like to get an idea on certain topics which keep me confused and this is one of them? How do you know how long should you keep the conditioner on?Well, here is what I do? Squeeze out all the water by gently pressing the hair after shampooing it. You can use a cotton cloth if you want so as to remove the excess water. Now, apply conditioner from the level of your ears and cover the length of the hair and concentrate on the ends. Keep the conditioner for 5-7 minutes instead of just applying and washing it out. After 5 minutes, you can wash out the conditioner. But, if I am using a hair mask too, I like to keep the hair mask for around 5-7 minutes and wash out the conditioner in just 1-2 minutes.
