expensive!!

My Experience
Totally loved it!! Ok, it does not have SLS. And, the product is light yellow in color and also feels creamy. It comes in a pump dispenser bottle. And, for every use, I felt I needed two pumps at least. It does NOT lather AT ALL.

yup, its runny in consistency!

Its very very gentle on skin and feels as if it doesn’t clean the skin at all but the converse is true. I did feel as if my skin has improved but then I was doing a lot of things which I shall mention in another post.
Ok, one big con is that I used the whole 100ml in around 20 days with two times usage 🙁 where as the other face wash lasted me for around a month with very very generous use!!
Aaahh…one more thing is it doesn’t make my skin feel dry or stretchy or leave any film either which makes me more happy. It doesn’t make the skin feel oily either.

And, also, I forgot to mention that it smells like sugarcane juice to me 😀 😀 Yes, I do find the product expensive but I think it is definitely worth a try. Its especially recommended for skin which gets inflamed very easily!! Or, for sensitive skin.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil and Strawberry Seed Oil {Product Review}

Red Raspberry Seed Oil and Strawberry Seed Oil Product Review at Perfect Skin Care for you
Red Raspberry Seed Oil
Price: £2.06 (Rs 182) for 15gms
My Experience
I received 15gms of both these oils from the website. Red Raspberry Oil is the most powerful natural sunscreen. Its spf rating is around 25. Wow, right? So, I had to pick this to try it out. And, it smells weird. I don’t know how to explain it.
The oil is dark in color bordering on brown. And, its supposed to be a dry oil which isn’t very oily. Well, that part is true that the oil dries up real quick. So, I used to use this oil as a moisturizer before applying sunscreen.

Did it protect me? Well, honestly, the product was too small to test out on a longer period. It got over in like 2 or 3 weeks so I can’t really say on the results. But, its definitely a product to try out. 
Also, if you check out the product closely, it clearly says the expiry date which is like around 3 months from the date of manufacture. That can become a problem when one orders a product in large quantities.
Strawberry Seed Oil
Price: £2.19 (Rs 193)for 15gms

My Experience
I have been using this oil for about a month as a night moisturizer. It is dark green to black in color and smells sweet and acidic. Its again not a very oily oil unless you apply it in huge quantities. In fact, it doesn’t really help in moisturizing your skin. You definitely need something else. 
But, the results of using this are amazing. The next morning my skin is all plumpy and a bit brighter and really soft. Definitely something to watch out for! But, just like the above oil, it also has a very short shelf life. 
My Verdict
Red Raspberry is not easily available and not many websites also sell it. I have heard about Strawberry Oil also for the first time. So, check out the website. They have many other awesome oils. One more product I received from them was Carrot oil which I have yet to try out.

Nivea Aqua Effect Skin Refining Scrub {Product Review}

Nivea Aqua Effect Skin Refining Scrub Product Review at Perfect Skin Care for you

Price: Rs 149 for 75ml

Pros
leaves the skin clean, no film
can be used without any problem on alternate days
Cons
not fit for a serious scrubbing session
scrub beads may feel harsh on sensitive skin
My Experience
I love the color of this product. Oh btw, what do you think of the snap quality 😀 My new cammy at work!! The blue grains which you are finding in the product are the scrub beads. They are a little harsh I felt 🙁 But, not extremely so!!

But, then, the main issue which I noted with the product is that it is not fit for a heavy scrub duty. For example, it can’t scrub away the dead skin cells in the curves of the nose or the curve below the lips. 
But, the product can be used on alternate days without any issues. Since the product clearly states it is for normal skin, I really doubt if it does anything to remove the oiliness or moisturize the skin.

But, as a regular scrub, it does a great job. It leaves the skin smooth and soft and clean. It leaves no film behind either. So, it is worth a try!! And, meanwhile, did you check out the accompanying face wash with this scrub??
