Himalaya Revitalising Night Cream – Snap Review

In winters, my oily skin faces major identity crises! It produces the same amount of insane oil but looks and feels dry. Thus it becomes necessary for me to moisturise my skin properly. I prefer to use a night cream so that my face does not become an oily mess in the day time.

Price: INR90 for 25gms. Also available in 50gm pack for INR170

What it claims: A deep penetrating daily use cream, that has Apple, Lemon and Tomato rich in Natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) which revitalise your skin. Wheatgerm a natural anti-oxidant, and Vitamin E protect and moisturizes your skin.

Good For:

Dry, lackluster skin

Skin exposed to harsh environmental conditions and pollution

Ingredients Include:

Pyrus malus (Crab Apple, Seva)

Triticum sativum (Common Wheat, Godhuma)

Citrus limon (Lemon, Nimbaka)

Lilium polyphyllum (White Lily, Ksirakakoli)

Solanum lycopersicum (Tomato, Raktamaci)

Directions for Use: Apply on cleansed face and neck each night, when skin is most receptive for repair and renewal. On waking your skin in soothed, soft and revitalised.

Why I like this cream:

Moisturises my skin well without breaking me out. It is a good cream for nourishing the skin, as it claims to. Himalaya’s products are hypo allergic, thus people with sensitive skin can use it without any problem. I find this night cream to be an great option for people who are looking for mainly conditioning and nourishing their skin.

My Rating: 4/5

Paisa Vasool( Is it worth the money?): Yes

5 Awesome beauty/personal care products under INR100 (2$)

Call me crazy but I think shopping in a limited budget is fun in its own way. Here these are five random inexpensive products that I like. Hope you guys find some useful ideas here for economic and guilt free spending.

1.     Lakme Rose Powder

INR 90 for 40g

 After spending 750 bucks on powder foundation instead on a loose powder by mistake, I had asked you guys for suggestions. IK from Makeup Monologues( which btw is the most awesome beauty blog) had suggestion lakme or body shop loose powder , guess which one I went with.. the cheaper one. J But I so… love it, it’s a decent loose powder and has got sunscreens too.! And you get a lot of product for 90 Bucks. Lakme Rose powder comes in two shades one for fair complexion and one for wheatish complexion.

2.     Himalaya Pure Hands herbal hand sanitizer

INR 39 for 50ml

I have recently joined the hand sanitizer craze and I think this is a simple but perfect one. Along with ensuring hand hygiene it also moisturises. Plus it has got natural ingredients.

3.     Vaseline healthy white body skin whitening body milk

INR 65 for 100ml

I keep coming back to this moisturiser. I looove its fragnance which also reminds me of my hometown cuz I used to use this back then. It contains yogurt serum, vitamin B3, Triple sunscreen for fairer and healthy looking skin. Now I don’t know about the whitening claim but this is the most awesome and economic moisturiser.

4.     Ponds white beauty daily spotless lightening cream

INR 49 for 15g

This isn’t exactly economic but you can buy this tube as a trial pack. I know a lot of people don’t like this that much but it works for me. It contains pro vitamin B3 and multiple UV protection. If you do like this cream, try to buy the sachets if you can find them, cuz they are wayyy more cheaper than the tube or the jar.

5.     Himalaya Herbals Gentle Refreshing Toner

INR 70 for 100 ml

If you are like me and often wonder how necessary toners really are, why don’t you just by an inexpensive one.  I recently read that you can skip the toner step unless you have oily skin. Oh well I am an oily so I cannot skip this step, so this is a great toner by Himalaya which promises to refresh the skin and keep it oil free. It is also alcohol free. Yay.

            Have you used any of these products?

In pursuit of the perfect sunscreen + Product Information

Exposure to sun is one of the major factors of skin ageing. Some researchers claim that up to 80 % skin aging is caused by harmful UV rays, and that is mind boggling. The dangers of harmful UV rays range from dark spots, freckles & wrinkles to even skin cancer. It is very important to protect our skin from the sun on day to day basis. Today I am going to tell you guys about some of the sunscreens available in the market, hoping to help you pick the right one for you.

Why do I have so many sunscreens you ask, well I am allergic to most of them. Two of them are almost finished and I had kept the bottles foe this post. :) . If you have often graced my blog with your presence, you must be knowing that I am allergic to SPF more than 15, still sometimes I become adventurous ad end up buying higher SPF sunscreens. I am going to give the sunscreens that do not suit me to my niece tomorrow. I wish I had a relative like me. J

Himalaya Herbals – Deep Cleansing Milk (review)

Quickview            

What it claims

For all skin types. A unique formulation of natural ingredients that cleanses and refreshes your skin. It penetrates deep to gently remove dirt, grime and make-up. Enriched with cucumber, to cool and sooth your skin, and soapnut to remove excess oil, leaves your skin clean, healthy and glowing.

Price: Rs 65(100m)

Apply in circular motion on face and neck. Wipe off with moist cotton pad. Rinse with water. Pat dry.

Pros:

Removes makeup satisfactorily.

Can even remove eye makeup with moist cotton ball.

Leaves skin feeling soft and thoroughly cleansed.

Is gentle, does not make skin feel dry neither does it leave the skin oily.

Really cheap!!

Cucumber and Soapnut sound great. (Honestly I had no idea about what soapnut is before this. FYI its Reetha.)

Cons:

Ummm. Removing mascara would be a bit of a problem, but that’s it. Anyways mascaras are always tricky to remove.

My rating: 3.8/5

Paisa Vasool: YES!!

Would I buy again: Yes. (if I feel like J)
