Skin Care that Worked and Didn't Work on Winter Breakout Hi friends, First of all I’d like to wish you all a Very Happy and Amazing New Year . May this year brings loads of happiness, success and joy in your lives. I have been missing in action since a while, all thanks to my busy and hectic days. This post has been pending since 2 weeks and today I somehow got time and privilege to complete it and publish it on my blog, so here it goes. I have always enjoyed nice pimple-free skin, despite the fact that my skin is oily-combination. I never had any major acne problem, and my skin has always been pretty ok. However, I came to Bhuj Gujarat in October 2013 for getting my surgery -  Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy done, and I don’t know if it was because of the surgery, or change of weather; my skin faced its worst in the months of November and mid-December. I faced “crackling-dryness” and weird breakouts on my skin. I saw patchiness and white spots of dryness around my nose...

Himalaya Herbals Fairness Kesar Facewash :    Hi friends, I began using Himalaya Herbals Fairness Kesar Facewash and their Clear Complexion Whitening Face Scrub around 10 days back. Today I'd be sharing with you my experience with the fairness Kesar facewash here. Please check it out below: Available online here  

Beautiful Eyes Hello lovelies, Today, I thought of sharing my eye care regime with you here. With the way these tech-gadgets have encroached around 80-90% of our wake up time, I feel that it becomes even more important for us to pay extra attention in taking care of our eyes. Being a software engineer, I spend around 10-12 hours almost daily on computer and by the end of the day my eyes look like two sunken hollows. Ok! I am exaggerating, but literally at night before going to sleep when I look at my eyes, I could see such a drastic difference between the morning eyes and the two dull and lifeless buttons like stuffs in the mirror, that I simply had to do something for the little babies. Even though I keep on reading stuffs like putting potatoes and cucumber slices on eyes to treat them well; I simply couldn't find enough time and efforts to include all that in my daily regime. So, I had to device my own personal care schedule that could cater to my needs and take c...

About Himalaya Herbals Foot Cream My experience with this foot cream I have always had dry feet, but thankfully my heels never got cracks. However, on my hunt to get a cream for my feet and to combat the dryness I came across this cream and I've been using this since around a year now. I got two packs of this cream at Dubai transit shopping and I quite like the way this cream has worked so far. It has a nice incense stick fragrance which isn't too overwhelming. The cream is thick, and blends well into the hard skin of my feet leaving them soft. Check out some pics below: And below are some of the likes and dislikes that I've felt about this foot cream: Likes: I like the handy tube packaging of the product with a flip open cap that makes it easy to use and travel friendly. The cream is quite thick and comes with a nice soothing fragrance. The cream blends well into the skin and gets absorbed quickly without leaving any ...

I usually suffer from dry and cracked lips if I am not always super careful to treat them well. As is the case with lip balms, a few worked well for me while some others failed badly. I usually don't want to take chances with my lip balms and usually stick with the ones that have worked well for me. But, when I came across this particular lip balm from Himalaya Herbals with cocoa butter and Sal butter as its ingredients, I was more than tempted to give it a try. I've been using this since past one week now and hence reviewing it her. Check out the details below: About Himalaya Herbals Natural Moisturizing Lip butter Price: INR 125 Quantity: 10 grams My experience with this lip butter: The lip butter comes in this cute jar packaging and is quite creamy in consistency. The butter is a translucent gel and has a sweet smell of cocoa butter. It glides on well on the lips and is transparent on application. Even though it has sweet cocoa butter smell, it doesn...

I've been using this face scrub since past couple of weeks now and hence thought that time is ripe to review it here.

I have oily-combination skin and I usually love to use any mud pack that can cool my skin and give it a nice cleansed look along with a healthy glow, so when I came across this mud pack from Himalaya Herbals, I was more than happy to give it a try.

I have an oily-combination skin and I have a tendency to keep on searching for better face washes, creams and toners that can help keep my face matte and shine free for long durations. I got a chance to try this particular oil balancing face wash gel from Himalaya Herbals and I've been using it since quite some time now. Below are the details and the review: About Himalaya Herbals Oil Balancing Face Wash Gel with Citron and Honey Quantity: 50ml Price: INR 40/- My experience with this face wash: After using so many Himalaya Herbals products, I was expecting the lovely fragrance from this face wash too. The face wash truly satisfied my appetite for an amazing fragrance the moment I used it first time. It had essence of sandalwood and a bit of incense stick smell to it. The smell was quite strong and a bit intoxicating too. The product comes out in thick transparent gel with small multi-colored micro-granules in it. Below are the pics: And below are some of the lik...

I've been using this body lotion since past 1 week and I quite like it a lot for its moisturizing properties. I usually have very dry skin on my body, even though my facial skin is oily-combination. So, I am always on a look out for super-hydrating body lotions. This one seems to be quite good in its job at least for the summers and rainy season, hence below goes the review: About Himalaya Body Lotion Price: INR 70/- Quantity: 100 ml My experience with this body lotion: I have to agree to one thing with all the Himalaya products I've used so far - they have amazing fragrance. I mean each one of the product has such soothing and lovely fragrance that they all definitely score quite high on my score chart on smell factor. The first time I took out this body lotion, it again had beautiful fragrance that reminded me of some incense sticks. Below are some more photos: And below are some of the likes and dislikes that I've experienced with this Body Lotion: Likes: 1) ...
