Product Recommended: Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Facewash

A few words about the product
I had stopped using the product after I had reviewed it long back in July and I am not consistent with my face washes. As you all might be aware that I am heavily tanned right now and I switched back to this product because I wanted to finish the remaining half-finished products and I noticed that this face wash has given my face an immediate glow which remains almost throughout the day. None other face washes have given me that glow. And, even in winters, it doesn’t dry out my face. So, yes, this is a great product which has stood test of time and also stands on its claims of radiance and probably has improved my skin tone too (helped remove tanning a bit).

  • Stands on its claims better than other brands like Garnier and Ponds
  • Pretty affordable and last for a long time

Tips to wake up during colder mornings {Health}

· · 4 Comments

Body feels sluggish in the winters so I am putting down some tips and some yoga poses to help your body awaken in the mornings. Try them out, they actually work.
  • Drink lemon/lime juice in the morning as soon as you wake up. It helps with your bowel movements.
  • Splash your face with rose water / water seven times. This wakes you up.
  • Click your teeth together to set off rousing energy in the body. Follow with gum massage.
  • Trataka is an eye exercise which should be done for the health of your eyes.
    • Rotate eyes in clockwise direction five times.
    • Repeat in anti-clockwise direction.
    • Simultaneously, stretch your body completely as soon as you wake up (Yastikasana).
      • helps kick start your metabolism
      • gives your body a powerful stretch
  • Awaken your third eye – massage the center of your eyebrows with your forefinger dipped in oil.
    • this alerts the rational part of your brain
  • Anuloma-Viloma and Kapalabhati are two amazing yogamudras to awaken the body.

These tips will also control the unwanted weight gain in winters.

Look young with makeup {Tip of the Day}

· · Leave a Comment

Yes, make up helps you look young. True!!! But, whenever you are trying to chisel out your features and highlight them, make sure that you do not make them look too sharp. Sharper features look harsh and make you look more aged. This is more of importance when you are trying to chisel out your jaw line or making your cheek bones look higher. Keep your look softer and a little rounded and use lighter colors. Go for eye-pleasing colors when you choose eye shadows and lip colors. Bold colors again make you look older.
