Herbs & More Vitamin Therapy Face Cleansing Milk / Lotion

I love my face cleansing milk. And, I am always on the look out for better ones. And, better yet, I like the ones which are non-fussy and easy to travel with. What could be better than traveling with use and throw sachets which have enough quantity to cover your needs and then you can just toss that face cleansing milk into the dustbin.

This vitamin C based face cleansing milk from Herbs & More seems to be designed for that purpose. Okay, here is a funny fact. This comes as a part of their professional facial kits in 30 sachets. I did not realize it earlier when I selected this for review but once I received the products, I understood the ”professional” meant their salon ranges.

Anyways, I never thought sachets could be so useful before this! If I do not have to store it, they are actually quite convenient.

How much sunscreen should you use?

Swathy · December 21, 2016 · 2 Comments

It has been so long that I have myself followed applying sunscreen rule that I could not justify a post on it. Since almost two months though, I have been consistent and seeing the results. One of the major grouches with using sunscreen for me has always been determining how much sunscreen should you use.

What you are applying – is it too little, is it too much, it is getting greasy, it is sticking out on the skin, making a whitish cast on the skin. There are just too many problems with applying sunscreen and that is when I am not even mentioning reapplication.

How much Sunscreen should you use?

Two Finger Rule

A long time back, like 5 years, I read somewhere that you must use the two finger rule to determine how much sunscreen should you use. According to this, you are supposed to apply two finger length of sunscreen on each part of your body. And, that it is a whole lot of product and, just like every other rule, the amount of sunscreen you get is determined by the texture of the product. Impossible!

Tip No. 1 – Apply sunscreen in Layers and Dots

I like to apply my sunscreen in layers and dots. First, I dot the sunscreen at the eyes and around the face and neck and decolletage. Blend. Repeat. Blend. Repeat till I am sure the sunscreen is evenly blended. Special attention to hair line, nose crevices and jaw lines. I also tend to use different sunscreens for face and body which saves money as well as a lot of hassle.

Beauty Products I am Disappointed With

Swathy · December 19, 2016 · 6 Comments

Do you not hate when you buy beauty products and they do not do what is expected of them? It hurts worse when they are so expensive! These are a few beauty products I have been using for the past few months, both expensive and inexpensive, which sucked for me, literally. So, lets start.

Forest Essentials Facial Cleanser Mashobra Honey, Lemon & Rosewater

Price : Rs 1,075 for 200ml

I have already reviewed this product but that was way before my skin care troubles. And, that is when I realized the face wash was not really cleaning my skin properly.

So, yes, it is a bad face wash for evening and clogs the pores. I would say avoid all the face washes from natural brands. Seems like a universal problem.

Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser

Price : Rs 499 for 200ml

Similar to the above face wash, this product was too gentle for a deep cleansing routine. So, again a huge disappointment from a brand which usually does not fail.

Vichy Purete Thermale Micellar Water

Price : Rs 990 for 200ml
