After a two week long hiatus, here I am again! A lot happened in these two weeks, my mom had been visiting, I recovered from a bad cold and a couple of other household and bank stuff to be taken care of. Coming back to the post, I have been using Satliva cocoa bliss body butter for more than a month now. I loved their charcoal soap and face cream but I am not yet sure of the body butter so lets check out what I feel about it.

Satliva Cocoa Bliss Body Butter Product Review

Price : Rs 610 for 40gms and Rs 960 for 100gms

Availability : Online Website

Made with Hemp seed Oil, Cocoa Butter, Moringa Oil, Jojoba Oil, Bees wax, Peppermint Essential Oil

Satliva cocoa bliss body butter comes in a tin packaging which I really like. It is eco-friendly and you can always reuse it. If you do not know what to do with it, melt and pour the candle wax and you have your bedside candle ready! I got the 40gms pack so I am not sure how the 100gms product is packaged. But, you would be better off with 100gms as it is a good bargain even if you just want to try it out.

5 Skin Care Tricks I have Adopted Over the Years

I love using skin care but I am not the 10-step skin care routine person. I prefer to keep my things simple and uncomplicated though with recent posts you would not feel so. Lately, I have slipped into the habit of layering my skin care in which I end up using around 5 products easily but I am finding it too cumbersome. Then, I decided to stick to my basic skin care tricks which will keep my skin and me both happy.

You should ideally have a toner / face mist, serum, facial oil, moisturizer, body oil / body lotion and sunscreen in your skin care stash. You do not have to use everything at one go but these are the basic things you need to start with and then you can add just one more thing – an antioxidant serum which goes on before sunscreen to boost its efficacy. This is specifically helpful for working people and new mommies who hardly have time for themselves.

5 Skin Care Tricks I have Adopted

Using body oil in shower

When you are slick wet from shower, slather on a body oil. It is the fastest and best way to keep your skin supple and hydrated all day long. You could follow up with a moisturizer or body butter on areas which need something extra. If not body oil, choose a body butter which spreads easily when wet. Do not use lotion as it will be too thin and will get washed off with the water.

What do you do after coming in from hot sun? It is the peak of summers and I have to go out at noon. My skin feels scorched and I am usually sure all the sunscreen I have applied is also not enough to keep my skin protected. Skin exposed to sun must be calmed down as soon as possible. How do you soothe your skin after sun exposure?

One of the biggest effect of sun exposure is the continuing damage from the sun rays even after coming indoors. The damage from sun rays can continue even hours after sun exposure. It is somewhat similar to a burn. You have to soothe your skin as soon as it burns to stop the burning from penetrating into the deeper levels of skin. Similarly, it is important to immediately soothe your skin after sun exposure.

How to soothe your skin after sun exposure?

Wash your face or use a face mist to soothe your skin after sun exposure

Use cool water to wash your face. And, if that is not possible, spray a good amount of face mist and wet your skin thoroughly. If possible, take a cool water bath without using any soap. For added relief, add a bit of baking soda to the water, which has been shown to relieve stinging and inflammation. Also, choose to air dry instead of using a towel to dry your skin.
