How often do you skip on your skin and hair care routines? {Your Opinion}

Swathy · September 3, 2014 · 4 Comments

Hey Everyone!! I know I have been doing a lot of on and off and I am pretty sure many of you must have really given up on me. Now that I have got the two posts which have been long pending from my way, I can talk a bit of here and there!!

So, last three months have been a whirlwind of changes and the entire August went in pujas and saree tying exercises. I did more of saree tying than the puja 😀 Gosh, it is so difficult to be a newly wed.

Anyways, tomorrow will be an entire year since I have stopped answering to comments. So, that is one of the first things on my to-do list and I am really sorry for ignoring you all for this long. Honestly, coming back to blogging after such a long break is very very difficult. So, let me just say give me some time to settle down.

And, let me talk about how I love to skip my daily routine of skin and hair care. Unless I have some product to review, I have to literally force myself to apply even a face moisturizer.

Do you love to skip on your skin and hair routines like me or are you really diligent about your personal grooming?

If I have to compile a list of products I would like to use, face pack would generally rank at the bottom. I am restless and keeping on a thick layer of mask on my face sans the specs is really difficult for me coz I can really not do anything else in that time.

So, reviewing this was a lot easier. In fact, while using this product, I did not use anything except for a face wash and sometimes used to skimp on the moisturizer as well. So, let us get on with how this product performed on me!!

Loving / Using It : Using It

Price. Rs 90

Easy to Apply. The product is light in consistency and texture so spreads easily on the skin. Always apply masks on a slightly damp skin. Water helps absorb the products. But, as always, clay products are best removed just before they are completely dry.

Brightens the Skin. Instantly brightens and leaves the skin soft after removal. No stretchy feeling. Regarding absorption of oil on the skin, I am not sure how much it is effective as I had dry skin this time. The results last only for a day or two depending on your exposure to sun and pollution.

Ingredient List not specified. Like the cuticle oil, the ingredient list is missing.

Overall Verdict

It is worth one try and probably can be used almost everyday.

Hey Guys!! I know I have been absconding for too long now. In fact, it has been almost one year since I have been more or less ignoring the blog 🙁 But, last three months have been a roller coaster ride with way too many changes in my routine! Will share all the details slowly with you.

And, in all of that mess, I totally ignored my responsibilities. This review has been so long pending that I am sure the brand people would have given up on me. But, I have been using this product since last two months. It is so portable, for one. So, lets check out why I like it.

Loving / Using It : Loving It

Price. Rs 55 for 10ml. Extremely affordable.

Travel-friendly. You can carry it in your travel bag or purse wherever you go and apply it whenever you want!! It does not even leak.

Easy to Use. Its roller tip makes it extremely easy to use and ensures a topical application.

Not Oily. It gets absorbed easily and does not leave any greasiness behind.

Smells fresh. Leaves behind a very refreshing lemongrass aroma.

Moisturizes really well. This product made my cuticles and nails so soft as opposed to any body cream I have used regularly. It also prevents the skin near the nails from peeling off.

Multi-purpose. The best part of this product is that you can use it for anything – a hand cream or as a lip balm or even as an emergency moisturizer.

Ingredient List not specified. The one thing which I did not appreciate is that there is no list of ingredients written on the packaging. It only provides the active ingredient list.

Overall Verdict
I wish the brand had provided the entire ingredient list so as to make sure whether the product is completely herbal or not. But, the product is amazing and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
