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...

Hello friends, I hope this holiday season is going great for you guys and you are enjoying it to the fullest. I've also been busy buying gifts for my near and dear ones. Since, I've been staying in a remote industrial area, and I have my little 2 month old son to take care of, I have to rely on online shopping for all my shopping and gifting needs.I really feel these online shopping portals to be a blessing for people like me who can't access major brands easily. So, while I bought stuffs here and there for everyone in my family, I had to buy some stuffs for myself as well. Since party season is on, there were certain stuffs that I decided to purchase for myself to make my 'makeup' fit for the occasions. Myntra.com has become a well known name in the major online shopping portals now for its fashion apparel, accessories and shoes. I've been shopping my stuffs from this website right from my Bangalore days and have really loved the website for its easy ...

I've always been a huge fan of Lotus herbals sunscreen range. I've already reviewed two of their sunblock/sunscreen moisturizers HERE  and HERE  and today I am going to review the latest launch in Lotus herbals sunscreen range - Lotus Safe sun Daily Multi-function Sunblock SPF 70, PA+++ with Carrot and Avocado Extracts. Check out more details below: Price: INR 495 for 60 grams Suitable for all skin types: Ingredients: My experience with this product I've been using it daily twice since past 2 weeks now and all I can say about it is that I LOVE it.

Also, unlike the only con that I felt in previous Lotus Anti Tan sun block with SPF 50 with Carrots extracts , this sunblock has a very soft and lovely fragrance which I like a lot. Even though it is a bit tinted, when I apply it on my face and massage it for a while, the color just gets blended in...

Body lotions are must for me, no matter what season comes. I have dry skin on my body which becomes super dry in winters. However, since these days winters in India, (even in north) begin to start fading by the end of January, I thought of getting myself some lighter, cooler and refreshing body lotion. While browsing through online websites, I came across this particular one and instantly ordered it. I've been using this lotion since past few weeks now and have pretty much liked it so far. Check out more details below: Price and Quantity: INR 255 for 300 ml Suitable for: All skin types The bottle came in a secured packaging and I was quite happy about the push-nozzle thing. It makes the task of taking out a body lotion 100 times easier. The lotion was called AloeSoft and as expected it smells heavenly of aloe vera and cucumber. The good thing is that it has SPF 20 too which I didn't notice at the time of order. The lotion comes out in a thick white liquid and ...
