I bought this cream a couple of months back from Germany. I was browsing through various counters in Galleria mall located at Stuttgart's Königstrasse, and I was looking to buy a nice light-weight face cream for my oily-combination skin. When I asked about such a cream to an SA at the Chanel counter, she told me to give Lancaster Aqua milk a try. While I was wondering about the brand, she just dived to the Lancaster counter next the Chanel's one and got this classic looking jar for me. She told me that she also had combination skin and Lancaster's Aqua milk has been her HG face cream till date. Her skin did look smooth and radiant (though makeup can do that too!) and I was a bit hesitant about getting this cream, but she was so cute and so persistent that I went ahead and bought this. I've been using this cream almost daily night on weekdays since past 2-3 months now and hence can now review it below. Check out more details below: This soft cream, for face and ...

Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.  ~ John Ruskin How true is the above quote! No matter how beautiful the colors of a painting are, if the canvas itself has flaws, the painting would never charm anyone. Isn't it? The same goes with our skin too. Facial skin, especially around the eyes and lips have to endure so much fluctuation everyday and night, right from the climate change to stress, lack of sleep, lack of proper nutrition and what not. I feel that in today's world with our busy and fast lifestyle, sometimes it becomes almost next to impossible to get a completely flawless skin, yet we all yearn to have it, don’t we? Image Source We might have spent thousands of bucks trying different products just in a hope to get our holy grails in them, but do these products really claim to stay the same way with our skin over a passage of years? Our skin cha...

(Guest Post)  Skin is the most sensitive part of human body. Then, of course, the phenomenon of its being highly susceptible to damages caused by external environment becomes obvious. To add to the problems, today’s hectic life doesn’t allow us to be able to take a very good care of it. Consequently, this is in a seemingly beyond-reach stage that we realize the negative impacts our skin has been subjected to. The worst, we find it too late to react and maintain with something worthwhile. Image source As adversity would do it and like every other vice, aging signs first victimize our skin to appear on. Though, this is more of a psychological concept. In context to an intelligent saying by some wise man – “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were”- it can be concluded that untimely aging is caused by excess of consciousness toward it. Still, we can’t help noticing age and its adverse attitude toward skin. Although the maximum of everything this applies to wom...

Nature tends to wipe off the bloom of youth as we get older. The skin has its own signs of aging as it continues to get thinner, lesser in elasticity, drier and finally begins to develop fine lines and wrinkles. There are various ways to combat and slow down this aging process of the skin and restore its smoothness and tautness, thereby reducing the aging lines. With the boom in latest technologies and research work, every year we see launches of new products, companies and various techniques that claim to do just that. Even though most of the cynics say that all this hype just leads to wastage of money, the good news is that there are certain anti-ageing creams that really do work, although to a limited extent. Here, I am stating some of the tips that can help you choose the anti-ageing cream that is most appropriate for your needs: 1) Check the ingredients: No matter where you are purchasing the cream from, be it an online store or a local drugstore, always have a look at...

But, how many of us actually know the working of those ingredients written on the cover or at the back of that lotion?  These products claim to do all kinds of things to prevent and reverse aging, but it is important that you know and understand the ingredient labels and assure that they are doing what they are supposed to do. Below are some of the most seen ingredients and their work breakdown: Alpha hydroxy acids(AHA)   work on loosening the dead cells from your skin’s surface. Antioxidants - usually fight the free radicals that accelerate aging. Anti- inflammatories reduce puffiness. Emollients form a protective film to trap moisture.
