Ponds Anti-Pollution Face Wash with Activated Charcoal

Swathy · February 23, 2018 · 1 Comment

I never really had a very good experience with any of face washes I have used except ones from Neutrogena. So, I keep trying out the new products. This ponds anti-pollution face wash came into the market long back under the name of deep cleansing facial foam. I have been using this product on and off and I really like it. So, yes to this face wash before you even read the review.

Pond’s Anti-Pollution Face Wash with Activated Charcoal Review

Price : Rs 200 for 100 gms

Ponds anti-pollution face wash is grey in color and a bit thick in texture. It lathers well but can get a little drying sometimes so using it when you need a thorough deep cleansing or after a very long and tiring day is a good idea. It is absolutely perfect for normal, combination and oily skin. Dry skin people can see how well it suits them. I have dry skin and I do love using this, especially in summers, humid weather and during travel.

Ever wondered if a product looks amazingly beautiful? Well, I think this one comes in that category. It is red in color, looks interesting and convinces you to try it. The brand name helps as well. I fell in love with tejasvi emulsion by just using its sample. And, it is one of my favorite luxury products which is not absolute essential but definitely does good for the skin.

Price : Rs 1,675 for 25 gms

Extremely expensive in my opinion! But, then you need only a little for each usage and you can use it only for special events and occasions or for pampering yourself in case you like to save up on the product. Otherwise, once a week of usage is recommended.

Best Sunscreens Vol. 1 – Neutrogena Ultra Sheer vs Shiseido Multi-Defense

Swathy · January 27, 2017 · 4 Comments

With all the house finishings and roaming around, I am being extra careful about my skin. In the last two months alone, I have used up almost four best sunscreens so you can easily imagine how much quantity of sunscreen I apply. Well, I am happy to share that winters and aging has helped control the grease and oil and my face has not been looking like an oil pan.

The real test of sunscreen happens only in summers though. So, I decided I would do a good amount of research and find out the best sunscreens that really work and pass the requirements like not getting too oily on skin, giving adequate protection, easy to apply and remove, not making the skin dull and many other things.

I usually prefer lotion and cream sunscreens which come with protective packaging. Spray sunscreens are not my type since there is a lot of wastage and the smell and fumes are usually very strong. Have you ever tried a spray sunscreen? Did you like it?

On a side note, remember the news I shared about us buying a house and shifting this month end. Life has been crazy last month but this month is even worse. The dealing with laborers is a job best left to experienced people but then there is always a first time, right? I just hope we can stick to our shifting schedule otherwise we are in suds!! No roof over our heads. Anyways, let me start with the least expensive and my favorite sunscreen.
