review of HIMALAYA NEEM FACE WASH

HIMALAYA NEEM FACE WASH is a gel kind of face wash which upon using gets all foamed up... This is a soap free face wash which has an herbal formula containing neem and turmeric.. It’s very mild on the skin..

I have combination skin due to which this has been perfect for my skin as it removes the oiliness from the areas my skin is oily and the other area it does not make it too dry, which I have observed with other face washes..

We all should know the basics and for those who don't here it is...

Neem is know for its antibacterial properties it helps in controlling acne / pimples, and prevents them from recurrence...

Turmeric is used to eliminate acne-causing bacteria..

And the result is clear oil / dry feeling of skin...

Now let me explain on how to use this.. First we wet our face, then apply a small amount of Purifying Neem Face Wash and gently work up lather with a circular motion using your palms against face. Rinse off with water and remember, pat dry gently.

The Ingredients are:

# Azadirachta indica (Neem, Nimba)

# Curcuma longa (Turmeric, Haridra)

It's packed in squeeze bottle with the top cap.. I have found it a bit difficult to open the cap when my hands are wet cause the grip is not their. It weighs about 50ml and costs Rs. 45

This is available in pharmacy stores and I’ve seem them in all malls... So finding them is no problem..

review of "EXFOLIATING GLOVES" from QVS

This is a glove kind which is worn and then used to exfoliate the skin by rubbing the skin surface..

Exfoliating removes dead skin cells to reveal new, healthy ones. The result obtained on doing religiously is super soft skin that is smooth to the touch, no more ingrown hair..

Dont use it everyday as it's not good to strip the skin off its natural oils.. Best to use it every alternate day if you are living in city and have to face the harsh climate everyday, then you have to moisturiser the skin after exfoliating.. If your not being exposed to dust, sweat, etc that often then once a week will do..
Apply a bit pressure without being too rough on skin..
Concentrate in areas like elbows, knee caps, toe gaps, etc (as they are a bit harder skin and are exposed to climate more)...

WHERE TO BUY :
I got mine from the QVS store located inside Mantri Square mall, malleswaram area (Bengaluru)...
This store as of now in Bengaluru is only located at the mall...

review of "OSIS FLATLINER " heat protectant for the hair

OSIS FLATLINER is manufactured by Schwarzkopf company which is German.. This is a thermal heat protectant for hair which is designed to withstand 200C deg... Upon using this protectant I have noticed that it doesn't leave my hair with that stiff, crispy texture, oily, sticky, but it does tangle up my hair before I'm done with straightening my hair... This also doesn't weigh my hair down (I totally hate weighing down as it makes hair look flat), holds my hair straight up to 3 days which is not a bad deal (but I would still like something that would last atleast for 5 days or so)... This product basically protects the hair from the external heat that its getting bombarded with like hair dryer's / straightners / rollers / etc... If we continue to use such heat on our hair they in due course start dying as they are being ripped of their natural oils.. I wash my hair and let it air dry completely, then I section my hair and spray the sectioned hair... Wait for it to dry which takes like 2 minutes (I do some paper / house work while I wait) then I straightenen.. I then repeat the process till I'm done.. Careful while spraying, if any gets into your eye wash away instantently... This contains
AQUA (WATER)
ALCOHOL DENAT
VP/VA COPOLYMER
HYDROLYZED SILK
LAURDIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN
CETRI MONIUMCHLORIDE PHOSPHORIC ACID
Smell's kinda strange... But you only smell it coming out of the bottle, it doesnt really make your hair smell...

Flatliner comes in an aluminium bottle with spray application and can be set in open or close position, so your spray doesn't leak while travelling...
You can buy this in stores that sell beauty products to salon's, in big / Schwarzkopf salon's....I bought mine from Jain Brothers which is situated near Richmond circle very close to Baldwin Girl's High School.. I have just emptied my 1st bottle and have to 1 soon...
For 200ml it costed me Rs. 625/- ...

You can visit the website for further details

review of " LACTO CALAMINE" lotion

Is a lotion used on face mostly, its non - greasy, it has a light pink colour.. For people with dark skin I would advise them to use it indoor cos it makes the face appear a bit whitest..
It comes in 2 kinds
LACTO CALAMINE CLASSIC SKINSURANCE
FOR OILY TO NORMAL SKIN (I'm using this)&
LACTO CALAMINE ALOVERA MOISTURISER

It's used to obtain even skin tone, clearer looking skin, rids the skin a bit from oil according to me....According to the product it should give you nourishment, acne & oil control, dead skin removal and protection... It's been in market for a long time... They don't advertise & yet people know about the product it sells by word of mouth..

Before using its better to shake the bottle well and then apply on face.... Can use any amount of times... Best is to re apply after washing face... As for me i see the best results when i apply the lotion before sleeping...

Ingredients are
aqua, zinc carbonate, emulsifiers, preservative's, perfumes (mild scent) & permitted colours..
light kaolin - coagulate (To cause a liquid to change into a curdlike or semisolid
state)
Castor oil - increases circulation and heals the tissues
glycerin - acts as humectant (a substance that promotes retention of moisture)
zinc oxide - skin protecting and anti-microbial

LACTO CALAMINE cost's Rs.72 for 120ml per bottle

You can get it @ any pharmacy store, that's where i get mine... If your staying abroad where its not available easily just scout the net and by it on-line.. I'm using my second bottle now and am happy with the results... Do make sure to do a sample test on your skin before using it... I had no side effects or any reactions but I always say no harm in being to sure...

review of "THEKARAJA COCONUT OIL" used for hair

THEKARAJA COCONUT OIL is an Ayurveda medicinal product for all hair related problems.... Used to control hair fall, dandruff.... Do not confuse this for a body massage oil :-) ....
You must have heard from many or seen on TV that one has to heat the oil and then apply on scalp to gain the maximum benefits of the product well that's true but what many don't know is that the benefits of product can be destroyed by over heating the oil...

The best way to use it is to apply the oil onto scalp of head and then to the hair... Massage well.... Now we take a towel and soak it in hot water, squeeze out excess water and wrap the hot towel around your head, keep it on till you feel the warmth and repeat the process for about half hour... Now let your scalp cool down so you wait for another half hour.... Now you are ready to take a head bath....
This oil works best when you use it everyday... I used it for 1 month continuously and saw a change in my hair fall / dandruff... Its natural if 100 strands of hair fall... I had more than that but now its reducing... After using it for a month and on all days of the week, I could reduce the usage to just 6 days of the week for the next month and 5days of the week on the next month and so on. .. Like so on every month go on reducing the usage... Usually not more than twice a week is needed to conditioner hair with oil... Effects vary from people to people you have to be patient to experience the benefits....

The oil contains thekaraja rasa , kera taila etc and prepared in coconut oil... Check to see if it reacts to your skin by doing a sample test... Usually Ayurveda products don't affect people but still no harm in doing a check.. Smell of the oil is not to strong but its not that kind of smell that you can sport around so very important to wash hair well otherwise you'll have an oily hair and the smell will linger...

The oil is 79rs ... Weighs 200ml .. Its packed in a plastic bottle (don't forget to recycle your bottle after its empty) ...

Its available in all Ayurveda stores... I got mine at OJAS ...
Its manufactured in Coimbatore and sold in Ojas if you want to buy it online the site is

REVIEW OF DOVE HAIR FALL THERAPY COMBING SERUM

DOVE HAIR FALL THERAPY COMBING SERUM is a beauty product which is used on one's hair to combat frizzes reduce the hair from getting tangled / prevent breakage, friction and also give the hair a smooth finish...
Yes it does all this but i want something that will also make my hair smooth and soft...

This can be used easily... After washing my hair i towel dry my hair and then apply a generous amount... About 4 pumps of the serum is sufficient... its always good to apply in sections...If you apply to much it tends to look oily and makes the hair flat since you have applied the product more... You can use this after every time you wash your hair...

This is a light weight serum, has a very pleasant smell which i am not able to pin point to what it resembles..

It weighs 40ml, MRP Rs. 250...

Its available in any pharmacy or beauty shop...

I got mine in my local pharmacy about a year ago...

My hunt for a hair serum is still on...
