Soulflower Rose Geranium Aroma Massage Oil Product Review at Perfect Skin Care for you

Pros
smells of roses!!
makes skin soft and glowing
Cons
might not suit very dry skin in extreme winters
My Experience
Ok, I hate the product!! Why?? Because, everyone is asking me what I apply that I smell so rose-y!! Every one says they can smell my oil at the end of corridors or as soon as they climb the stairs of our floor. Can you imagine that?? Seriously!! One gal even started calling me Rose coz of this 🙁 😀

Ok, moving on from the smell, the product is thick in texture and is a massage oil so I apply it at night. If you are going out, this is not a great choice!! Coz, it doesn’t really disappear into the skin. I have also noticed that it doesn’t help with extreme skin dryness or dry patches. 
I hate the packaging in fact. Its all plastic with no stopper. It has rose petals in it which gives a good visual effect to the soap. I wish it came in a glass packaging or anything more eco-friendly!! It makes a very luxurious sleep as well. 
So, should you try it? I would definitely say yes!! If you do not like the smell of roses, that’s a totally different issue. Actually, I did realize that I do not really love the smell that much but the extra attention was something which made me uncomfortable about the product.

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?

Its been an year since I have used it but when I thought of putting up its review, it was already summers so it wouldn’t have been of any use to anyone. So, I thought of deferring the review for these winters 🙂 And, do I need to say more that I waited for winters to put up the review?
Biotique as a brand I love but their ingredients list is always an issue. But, their products almost always work for me so I do think of going back to them. This is also one of the good ones. The texture of the product as you can see is pretty thick.

Yes, it is absolutely amazing for dry skin. In winters, it absolutely solves the dry patches problem. One needs to use a wee bit amount of the product and you are good to go. It does lighten the tan and pigmentation you might have. But, the best way to use it is as a hand cream.
It is thick so it keeps the hands soft and moisturized all winters. And, as I said, it also lightened the color of my hands. And, it kept my cuticles also in check. Yes, I have used it on my face also and totally liked it but yes, it can get a bit greasy so unless you have very dry skin, you can skip it.

Its also great for arms and legs and feet as well. Just as it keeps the hands soft, it keeps the feet moisturized and prevents cracking of the heels unless you torture them 😀 So, yup, go for it this winters, if you haven’t used it and I am sure you will love it as well 🙂 And, if you have used it, so share your views!
