Vichy Purete Thermale Face Wash Product Review

Swathy · January 4, 2016 · Leave a Comment

This new year I decided that I would not let even a single day pass off without doing anything significant. And, here we are already six days in the new year. You would have already noticed that I am posting everyday for the last two weeks. And, I am trying my level best to keep it up. The aim is to post every weekday for this year.

And, as I mentioned in my skin care diary yesterday, I do have loads of products which I am eager to review. I picked up Vichy for the first time while looking for the face wash sometime in July last year. And, I am glad I picked up the brand otherwise I would have missed out on a few really good products. I do have a list to try out from this brand already 🙂

So, let us check out what I think about this product.

Vichy Purete Thermale Face Wash Product Review

This is quite an interesting product to begin with. The face wash is all liquid inside the transparent bottle which is fitted with a pump. And, when you press the pump to dispense it, what you get is foam. One pump gives enough foam to cover the face. I use two pumps for my face, neck and decolletage. I did love this concept.

Just in case you are wondering, this product does have SLS. The smaller packaging which was the one I got is easy to carry around but not very travel-friendly. If you wish to carry it, it is best to reconsider some other face wash.

Does Coconut Oil make the skin dark? {Your Opinion}

I was discussing this matter a few days back with my colleagues. One of the girls said that coconut oil makes skin dark!! I was quite surprised because a long time back some body had said that besan (chickpea flour) also turns the skin dark! I was pretty sure that this statement was equally a myth. But, then, I decided to google a bit on it. I did not really find any thing useful!!

It just says that coconut oil is amazing for hair and skin and all. I have been using coconut oil for like, a month, now. I mainly use coconut oil to remove the sunscreen from my face, neck and arms. I haven’t noted any discoloration or pigmentation recently.

In fact, my skin has become more plump and more hydrated and my skin has started to glow. When I had dry patches, I had hoped that coconut oil would be able to make it fine but that was something I could not achieve but then it was the product which was making the skin dry.

deFabulous Reviver Shampoo and Conditioner Product Review

Remember how I had been talking about cysteine and hair color for the last 6 months? If you are really thinking of getting it done, I would suggest you to wait for the hair diary coming right across in few days. I am having second thoughts about the entire procedure now that I am oiling my hair again and have been taking care of it like I used to. But, I have to say that these chemical treatments did make me discover some fabulous products and this range is one of them.

Earlier, Organic Surge was my favorite but deFabulous has replaced every other shampoo-conditioner duo in my bathroom. I do feel that organic surge makes my hair frizzy but I am not really sure about it since I was not diligently taking care of it either. Anyways, let us check out what I think about the product.

~~So, before proceeding, I would like to mention that since I am not supposed to oil my hair, I really can NOT comment on whether the product removes oil or not.~~ This does not hold true anymore. I did get my hair colored sometime in July but now the color has gone off. So, I finally oiled my hair first time in November after months. The shampoo cleans the scalp and hair really well.
