Is your skin itchy? {Skin Care}

· · 8 Comments

Winters are almost on the door step and my skin has already started to feel the cold and chill in the air. And, my skin has also turned itchy lately. So, why is it so? Because of the lack of moisturization. Yes, if you are facing the same problem, you might want to explore more options in the moisturizer and body butter departments.For me, I would say that Nivea worked really well. Yes, the original blue tin Nivea.
If budget is not a consideration, The Body Shop body butters are pretty much famous but if you do like to keep a tab, then, Nivea or any thick lotion would do the trick. And, if you still want more, you can go for the combination of body oils followed by body lotions. The key to control itchy skin is not let it get dry and this can also be helped from the inside by feeding on nuts. This is especially useful for people living in hills.

Biotique Basil and Parsley Cleanser {Product Review}

· · 10 Comments

Biotique soaps have always been intriguing for me and I have heard that the almond oil is amazing so I shall definitely check that out. Lets check out how this soap does in the mean time.Since I got these soaps during hotel stays, I have no idea about the price.
Ingredients 
even I couldn’t read the ingredient list clearly 😀
My Experience
This is a transparent soap and I wasn’t much of the hope that I would like it coz, generally, such soaps are really drying. But, I was wrong. This soap is gentle, mild, cleanses really well and doesn’t dry out the skin even in the drier weather of October. It smells nice and nothing overbearing and lathers well enough. And, I don’t think I have anything negative to say about the product.
My Recommendation
I would definitely recommend it. Its a good soap.

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Range {Product Review}

· · 3 Comments

So, I have reviewed the shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and the leave-in serum. If you had noticed, I had not written anything about my recommendation because I wanted to give a collective judgement about the results. So, here goes that.

Packaging
Extremely elegant and classy when compared to other over-the-counter products in the market. But, they are not travel-friendly as each of the product is bulky and will take space and add to the weight.

My Recommendation
I would definitely recommend this range altogether. The biggest disadvantage of the range is that every product has silicone or dimethicone as one of the ingredients. As you know, silicones and the family are notorious for creating a film on the hair and not getting washed off by the shampoos and consequently, dulling the shine of your hair, this ingredient is not very much liked. In fact, I had stopped using Livon just for the same thing. But, if this doesn’t affect you, I would definitely say that the range really gave great results.I would also add a word here that the debate about ingredients is a bit waver-y and not to be trusted too much so I wouldn’t really pay heed to that because of the results of this range altogether for my hair. My hair is softer, shinier and definitely less frizzy and more manageable. And, it also gives volume to the hair over all. So, I am definitely loving the results altogether. I have not yet had this kind of experience and results with any affordable-priced products. So, that does give the range an edge. So, I am loving it!!!
