Garnier Daily Care Gentle Cleansing Milk {Product Review}

Garnier Daily Care Gentle Cleansing Milk Product Review

So, on the days you do not want to write anything serious, product reviews can be a boon but let me make it very clear when you are doing a serious review, writing the review itself is a huge issue!! Anyways, coming back to the product, I am not a fan of cleansing milks because they get empty very soon 🙁

This cleansing milk is very thin and spreads easily on the face and neck and arms easily. It does remove the makeup pretty well. I can not really talk about kajal, though. But, then, kajal is probably the most stubborn in my stash except for mascara.
Pros
removes makeup really well
does not leave any film on the skin
gets washed off easily

Garnier Daily Care Gentle Cleansing Milk Product Review

So, that’s pretty much my review of the product. Btw, I want to leave you pondering on something which I want to discuss soon enough. What is the difference between face washes and cleansers and cleansing milks? Do you think one can be used in place of another?

Also, I would like to tell you all that I shall probably not be around this weekend on the blog so please excuse the unanswered comments. These days I am getting time to answer them only in the weekends. So, see ya all on Monday. And, wish you all a very Happy Independence Day 🙂
Availability
The product is easily available but I got it from myntra.

Have you used the product? What special are you doing for the Independence Day?
PS: Product sent by website.

Turmeric infused Almond Oil {DIY}

· · 20 Comments

turmeric and saffron infused almond oil

This was a DIY I have done like almost an year back. But, I did not share it because I wanted to try out the oil and wanted to report back the effects. So, let’s have a look at the ingredients.

Ingredients
Almond oil – 100ml
Turmeric – 1 tbsp
Saffron – a pinch of strands
Method
Put all the ingredients in a glass bottle/jar and leave for a month undisturbed. Shake the bottle once in a day and if possible leave in direct sunlight for an hour or two everyday. After the stipulated period, strain the oil and it’s ready to use.
Results
I have to say that it has not been long since I have started using the oil so can not really report back on everything.
For the starters, it did help with some of my breakouts. I used to spot-apply the oil on the suspicious bumps and they used to disappear by the next morning.
As regards to complexion changes, I do not really think I have noticed any changes yet. Also, the blemishes on my neck do not really look any different but I do keep on bothering the skin repeatedly without letting it heal!
I shall keep on trying it and will report back if I see any changes.
Have you used any turmeric infused facial oils?

My Skin Diary – July 2013

· · Leave a Comment

So, one of the reader’s suggested me to do this regular feature as well when she ended up reading my hair diaries! I have been thinking of it since long but since I do not really stick to one product, I was hesitant to do this series. Also, my skin problems are comparatively minor. But, then I thought I would give it a go so here it is. 

Let me share what all products I used on my face and body for the month. I do not exactly follow the same routine everyday! For example, I do not moisturize my skin in the day time everyday. I simply go to applying base and the sunscreen. NOT A GOOD HABIT AT ALL. 
Similarly, I do skip moisturizing the body and not every night do I use that DIY facial oil or for that matter even the aloevera gel. I am quite lazy and I really hate using all the products but providing reviews for them and finishing them up are the swords hanging on my head!

Night Routine
  • Cleansing Milk – VLCC + Garnier 
  • Face wash – Nivea Visage Refreshing Face Wash + Garnier Pure Active + Nivea Total Face Cleanup
  • Toner – Liz Earle + Kama Ayurveda Vetiver Water
  • Moisturizer – Rustic Art aloevera gel
  • Facial Oil – Turmeric infused Almond Oil (DIY)
  • Face mask – Shahnaz Hussain Chocolate Mask 
While I am using Nivea Total Face cleanup, the Shahnaz Hussain face mask is used once in like two weeks or something! Please note that ‘+’ means either.

Current Skin
As I mentioned a few days earlier, my skin picking habit has left my neck tortured, I am looking forward to reversing that damage. And, also, my arms are pretty tanned so those are two things on top of my list right now. 

Why don’t you tell me what products you used and how is your skin doing?
