Colours on the Face

Here I am today with the best face washes for oily skin or top 5 face washes for oily skin . Indian summers are hot and humid and leaves no chance of peace for oily and combination skinned beauties. So my quest for a face wash apt for my oily skin is always on. Although my skin is pretty oily but my choice of face wash is in accordance to the time of the day I use them or the purpose. Let me explain this way.... When using a face wash is the morning, I prefer it to be one that removes my oil from the core that accumulates over the night. My oil cleansed skin is then pampered by a light day cream followed by a sunscreen I usually don't use face washes at office but when I do I go for a face wash that is removes the oil but doesn't rip the moisture from my face I prefer a face wash that has lemon or orange as an ingredient when I get back home as it helps in de-tanning my face When travelling, I prefer carrying 2 face washes - an anti tanning one and a deep c...

It's summer time and so it is body odour time. However, body odour may be a perennial issue for some people. I follow 3 simple steps to keep body odour at bay all throughout the year. 1. Take bath at least twice in a day: This is so important for everyone. Not only the working people should follow this, but also the stay at home people should do the same. Bathing helps to refresh ourselves in the most simple way and also helps us get rid of the germs and dirt that adheres to our skin. 2. Stop using deodorants and use lemon juice instead: I know this sounds ridiculous but let me tell you, I have stopped using deodorants in my underarms for about a year, instead I use lemon juice which has resulted in 3 good things - i) underarms are not that dark anymore ii) body odour problem has decreased considerably and it makes me feel fresh all day long iii) growth of underarm hair has been stunted. For application of lemon juice, I slice a wedge of lemon and rub it on my undera...

No amount of sunscreen can ever prevent 100% tanning; even the more expensive ones fails to do so. This holds true for me as well as many other girls out there. That's why I have come up with 3 ways you can remove your tan. I have been using these 3 methods for years and they are very effective indeed. So here's the solution:- 1. Cucumber juice:  How to make it? I use a mixer to crush a cucumber and strain the juice. That's it. How to apply?   I apply it on my face, hands and neck and let it dry for 5 minutes followed by reapplying it and drying it again. Then I wash it off with water. Is it effective? YES. This gives instant results. Cucumber juice not only removes tan in the most efficient way possible but also tones our skin. Cucumber Juice 2. Honey and lemon juice: How to make it? Squeeze a lemon and add 1 tea spoon of honey. You can also add sugar instead of honey. How to apply? I apply this concoction on my face and other ...

It's been quite sometime that I've started this blog. If you've taken a little tour on my blog then you would know that this blog contains reviews of makeup products, tips and tricks associated with it and so on so forth. I welcome you to my blog and wish that find the posts helpful and worth the while. Before knowing about my blog, you should know me first. To begin with, my name is Gautami Roy. Professionally, I'm an engineer and I've been working for about a year now. Since I started working, I developed a fascination for makeup. When I was in college I had no idea, whatsoever, about proper makeup (like blending makeup, contouring, etc.); all I had back then was an eyeliner, a brown kohl pencil and a lip balm and I didn't even have a lipstick! I never bothered my parents about buying me makeup but I tried to look decent with my minimal resources and shared my mother's compact, lipstick, etc. Even now, I don't have a huge makeup collection but I try...

Hello everyone. Today I'm going to review a sunscreen which is the Suncros Aquagel Sunscreen with spf 26. Of late I am only using products that are paraben free. As most of you know, paraben is a class of compounds that are used in cosmetics as a preservative. Although parabens help to keep our makeup and skin care products bacteria free, however it is said cause hormonal disturbance in our body. Hence, I prefer to be on the safer  side. I have used sunscreens from Lakme, Lotus, Khadi, Neutrogena and they all contain paraben. The Khadi sunscreen claims to be paraben free but I don't like its texture. On much research and consultation with a dermatologist I came across Suncros sunscreen. Suncros Aquagel Spf 26 Now, Suncros has many variants of sunscreens. You can find both cream and gel formulae sunscreens. Although this one has the term "gel"  in it, but the texture is actually that of a cream.  Packaging:   The sunscreen comes in a cubical ...
