Swathy · September 26, 2011 · 6 Comments

    You can use your scrubs as body scrubs. If they are too much for body mix them with gram flour. I finished one strawberry scrub which i don’t like by mixing it with gram flour(besan)

    hey Surabhi…yeah I think Kantilep works mainly on pimply skin but I am not sure and frankly, I have used it only once till day!!! I don’t even need it, actually !!!
    Of course, I have done many posts on sunscreens which you can check out here: (copy and paste please)

    swati, kala here… just a query as i am a person who doesnt go to beauty parlour in this new age world. hardly have done 2-3 facials till now. no eyebrow shaping or waxing. just use lipstick, mild makeup with the lakme foundation cream during occasions etc. i believe wholly in home made remedies. since i am in UK now and that the climate is sheer cold, to avoid drying up of the skin, i use a moisturizing cream of salon product.

    i see so many products on your shelf.. do you try these products one after the other? also more curious to know that by changing the products continuously one after the other, doesnt it cause damages to our skin texture? is it good to change products continuously /slowly over a period of time giving necessary gaps between the products / advisablet o stick on to a single product.

      haha…good question, kala…this is a very old post…as far as i remember, i did this last year sometime in September but my stash hasn’t as such minimized coz something or the other kept on getting added but yes, it is better to stick to one thing if you have a very sensitive skin…thankfully my skin is not so sensitive and particular so i can use things which suit my fancy and for reviews, i have to often do this. not for me, i don’t need time to let my skin get adjusted but that’s also because i don’t use or review products with retinoids and all such drugstore stuff which actually makes the skin very sensitive so if you are using such products, its better to stick to one. hope this answers your question 🙂
