REVIEW: Vivel 3-in-1 Face Wash+Scrub

OMG I feel like I am doing a product review after ages and yup it has been a while hasn't it :) Thanks to all of you, who missed and actually wrote to me saying so :) It is mails like these that make my hobby of being a beauty blogger all the more special :) Thank you!

Today, I shall be reviewing Vivel's 3-in-1 Face Wash+Scrub for soft, clear and glowing skin. It is supposed to be "All Skin Types" and "For Everyday Use". It contains jojoba beads, which are nothing but Jojoba esters created by complete hydrogenation of Jojoba oils. The oils are used as emollients and the esters or the beads are used for exfoliation.

Vivel Face wash+scrub is actually what is it called. It has these exfoliating jojoba beads floating in a face wash. The exfoliating beads are just right, they are not at all harsh and neither do they dissolve in water very fast. I loved the product as a scrub. It does have a strong fragrance but it isn't unbearable or synthetic smelling.

The product did have a downside though and that was the fact that I do not think it is suitable for dry skin. Though they claim that it is for all skin types but after a couple of uses I started finding dry patches on my skin (I do have extremely dry skin), very similar to the ones caused by Clean and Clear face washes. So I asked my friend with oily skin to try it and well she apparently loved it. So I guess its a fabulous product for those with oily skin but dry skin beauties are better off without it...

Swatch

Oooohhsss And Aaaahhhsss!!!
1. The jojoba beads are of the perfect hardness and texture for exfoliation. They weren't harsh on the skin.
2. It really and I mean really helped me scrub away dead cells. My skin actually felt all sparkly and clean!
3. I like the fact that it has both a scrub as well as a face wash. It was awesome to have a lather working up while exfoliating.
4. Very very easily and widely available in all general and departmental stores.

Ouches!!!
1. Though they claim the product to be for all skin types, it does not suit dry skin.
2. It does have a somewhat strong fragrance.

Price
it costs INR 105/- for 100 ml.

Would I Recommend?
I would for sure recommend it for oily skinned ladies who are looking for a good scrub with an oil control face wash. But dry skinned beauties should stay away from this product.

Overall Rating:
5/10 - Dry Skin
8/10 - Oily Skin

The product was sent by PR for consideration. It has in no way affected my review.

REVIEW: The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla Body Butter

Hellllloooooo everyone... It feels like a decade that I posted on ISLM (yup I do love a bit of exaggeration here and there :P) and it feels awesome to be back :) I plan to review TBS Spice Vanilla Body Butter and I know it has been reviewed like 27,836 times on the beauty blogosphere already but aren't you a tad bit curious about my take on it? ;)

Spiced Vanilla is a beautifully rich vanilla scented body butter that isn't too sweet. It smells more like a cinnamon doughnut than anything else ;) Its a perfect fragrance for the colder months though and because of the richness of its fragrance I cannot see myself using it in warmer weather... For summers I prefer fruity fragrances like Peach body butter, mango body butter and satsuma body butter... For winters I am loving Spiced Vanilla :)

Though the tub does not specify any skin type, this particular one is suiting my dry skin to the Tee. Just a layer and my skin feels all smooth and pampered. Its fragrance stays on for like really long and when I wore it to office for the first time, everyone of the guys actually turned when I passed them. I swear! I myself feel like I am enveloped in a veil of spicy vanilla the whole day...

Daily Habits that Reflect Badly on the Skin

Problem becomes wrinkled skin, reducing the appearance of beautiful. Premature aging of skin makes wrinkles appear. Only about 10 percent of the genetic factors influencing the aging process, it means you have greater control in maintaining the skin stay young. Dr. Doris Day, author of Forget the Facelift. Here Dr, Doris describes daily habits that reflect badly on the skin:

1. smoke

As the effect on the entire body, cigarettes are toxic to your skin. "Smoking is the absolute worst thing for your skin," said Dr. Ellen Marmur, Professor of Dermatology and Genetics at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, USA. The good news is that stopping smoking will undo the damage that has occurred on your skin. "If you smoked for 10 years and you stop for five years, you can erase all the damage," said Dr. Marmur. What is needed is a smoke-free a few weeks to see changes in skin color to be improved.

2. Ignoring the skin around the eyes

Sunglasses are not only accessories required for celebrities. "Everyone should use it to prevent sun damage around the eyes," said Dr. Marmur. Believe it or not, you can even get melanoma in the eye if you underestimate it. Chronic exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging around the eyes. The solution is a special soft eye sunscreen can help protect the skin of your eyes, but sunglasses are also a good protection. Wear sunglasses whenever you are outside, even on cloudy days. Find the type that offers more than 95% UV protection.

3. less moving

Lazy to exercise also can accelerate the signs of premature aging on your face. "Exercise is one of the best things you can do for healthy skin," said Dr. Marmur. Exercise increases the flow of blood circulation which makes skin a healthy glow. "When you exercise faintly pink skin, wash the area because all the vessels of the face with blood rich in oxygen and nutrients," he explained. Plus, studies show fitness exercises help the skin repair itself and may even protect against skin cancer. Dr suggestions, Marmur: 30 minutes of aerobic activity three or four times a week. Be sure to wear sunscreen when you exercise outdoors.

4. Not Enough Sleep

The worst thing you can do for your skin, but skip the sunscreen, the late nights. "When you're asleep, the energy flow throughout the body to rejuvenate the cells," he explained. Cut back on sleep to make you lose the moment of skin rejuvenation.

5. Giving no time for work

According to Dr. Marmur, skin care products at least takes about three months to work so you need to be patient. If a product claims to be able to renew collagen almost instantly, you know it's definitely a false claim. Want to see the results of expensive anti-aging cream that you buy, wait at least three months of the results on your face.

Overcome Skin Aging, According to Your Age

The process of skin aging is something natural and inevitable in humans. Follow the aging process age. But there is an attempt to resolve skin aging process. Graphed time as you will continue to rise rapidly. Rate of speed that process is different at each age as well as women. The aging process in each individual there is a quick run to slow. Therefore overcome skin aging, according to your age.

Facing the aging to age 20
This period of the aging process occurs with very fine (almost invisible signs). At the age of 20, the line is starting to look thin look due to the collagen and elastin begin to break down. Damage caused by sun exposure is also beginning to emerge. "Even if the signs of aging are not visible, it is important to take steps to protect your skin," advises Dr. Debra Jaliman, author of Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist. Creams which contain antioxidants, facial scrub, facial microdermabrasion treatment and sunscreen is a must for you. "Use sunscreen even if you are not on the outside," advises Dr. B. Hayes Gladstone, of Gladstone Berman Skin Institute, California, USA.

Facing the aging for age 30s
Although your skin may still look 'shiny' and radiant, fine lines may be just around the eyes and forehead, as well as the visible expression lines more than the age of 20. "The best thing you can do for your skin is to moisturize the skin with a cream containing sunscreen at least SPF 30," added Dr. Jaliman. Non-ablative lasers can be selected to make the skin more radiant or to disguise fine lines.

Facing the aging for age 40s
This is the decade when the skin begins to show signs of sun damage and aging, especially if you are exposed to UV radiation without any protection when you were younger. Freckles and dark pigment in the skin may have emerged, while the pores and oil glands more prominent. Dr. Jaliman said, using a product with retinol as the main ingredient is very important to help reduce fine lines and improve skin texture. Other treatments to consider include photofacials (IPL or intense light therapy) and fractional laser treatments. IPL can smooth your skin tone while the fractional laser treatments are designed to brighten skin tone and restore skin texture. For smile lines and marionette lines below the mouth, collagen stimulants (or dermal filler) became a very popular choice. While Dr. Gladstone showed that sagging eyelids and bags are also emerging at this time, causing some women to start thinking about the surgical procedure.

Facing the aging for age 50s
When you enter the age of 50 changes in the skin may be more dramatic. Muscle, fat, collagen, and bone tissue begins to shrink, making wrinkles more noticeable. If you smoke or have damage from excessive sun, wrinkles can become more apparent. These spots can also become more numerous and spread throughout the body, including your hands. To help with wrinkles and other signs of aging, Dr. Jaliman suggest that you continue to use retinol products, such as in your 40s. Lasers can be used eliminate brown spots, uneven skin texture and enlarged pores. Many women also choose for skin tightening with Thermage CPT radio frequency to tighten sagging skin. Serum and moisturizer containing peptide-counter can make your skin look more full when used every day.

Facing the aging to age 60 and over
After reaching your golden years, your skin looks more and more dull. This is due to exfoliate dead skin and do not accumulate. Assist the process of exfoliation is important. Broken blood vessels may appear on the face, brown spots or black started popping up around the hairline and neck. Elastin and collagen continues to decline in number, and skin cells may not supple, plump and moist as of yore. Damage caused by sun exposure continues to increase. "You can choose products that not only protects against sun exposure, but also repairs the skin," said Dr. Jaliman. He recommends sunscreen use technology to target DNA repair sun damage there and fight sun damage in the future. Skin with Thermage CPT can diperkencang radio frequency. To damaged blood vessels and brown spots, it's good start to consider a series of laser treatments. Stimulates collagen by injection may be an option if you want full looking skin longer.

REVIEW: The Body Shop Apricot and Basil 100% Biodegradable Shower Gel

Yes yes yes, I hauled and TBS and now TBS reviews are the kind of posts that you will be literally bombarded with :P Today it is The Body Shop Apricot and Basil 100% Biodegradable Shower Gel from the Earth Lovers Collection...

True to it's name, it sure is a treasured collection for Earth Lovers because of it being 100% biodegradable. It is sulphates and paraben free and if you are still not happy then let me tell you that the bottle of the shower gel is made out of 100% recycled plastic... Now this sure should be a great way of celebrating The World Environment Day! Ha ha :)

The light green semi transparent bottle itself looks really pretty and feminine and the interesting combinations that TBS has come up with where core ingredients are concerned and simply so attractive! Apricot and Basil in a shower gel... Now who could have thought of that? It's pure genius :)

The shower gel lathers up really well and a small amount goes a long way without a doubt! And that's where the good things end...

One major issue that I have with the product is that it is very very drying and not a very comfortable product to use for people with dry skin... And do note that this review is during the Monsoons!!! Oily skin and normal skin would just love it! :) Another small con with the product is that the product itself is very "runny" and not at all like a shower "gel"!

REVIEW: Johnson's Baby Lotion on Adult Skin

I am itching to do some makeup EOTDs and LOTDs since a while now but with guests at home I am not getting any time... So for a while you guys are stuck with me doing reviews. Not that my reviews do not need much efforts but as compared to EOTDs and LOTDs, reviews are a little bit less demanding where time constraints are concerned... Don't you agree? :)

Today I shall be reviewing the Johnson's baby lotion and before you raise your eye brows and say to yourself "WTF" let me make it absolutely clear that I bought it when I was out of a moisturiser and needed one pronto! This was the only one available and so I just bought it. I figured if it was good for babies, how could it be bad for me? The truth? Read on ;)

Johnson's Baby Lotion is Clinically proven to be mild and mild it sure is. It has a soft and soothing fragrance, which I love. Once applied it gets absorbed really fast and does not leave a residual oiliness or greasiness. It would be perfect for normal skinned beauties and oily skinned beauties sure can give it a shot for sure. I being dry skinned need to apply it at least thrice consecutively. I need to reapply after about 3-4 hours and that is a bummer especially if I am wearing makeup on top. I hate to re-touch my moisturiser cause it means that I have to wipe away my blush, re-apply the moisturiser and then reapply my blush. Not nice :(

But is seriously is soothing and totally makes my skin glow and look nourished and hydrated.

Image of the Product

Oooohhss And Aaaahhsss!!
1. It gets absorbed immediately and does not leave a greasiness on the face.
2.  Has a very soft and soothing fragrance that lingers on for the whole day!
3. Does not cause any reactions or allergies.
4. If it is mild for a baby then it really couldn't be harsh on your skin!
5. Very easily available in all general as well as medical stores.


Ouches!!
1. Needs reapplying after 3-4 hours.
2. A bit on the expensive side

Price
It costs INR 90/- for 100 ml

Would I Recommend?
I sure would recommend it to people with normal skin hands down! It could even prove to be a boon for oily skinned beauties... Dry skinned beauties if you don't mind reapplying your moisturiser after every 4 hours then you have found yourself a winner but only for Summers! It could in no way battle Winter's dryness!

Causes Eye Skin Wrinkles Easily

One problem is the early aging the skin around the eyes becomes wrinkled. The eyes and forehead skin is usually the most vulnerable.

From all parts of the face, eye area skin is the most rapidly aging. And this affects the anatomical structure of the skin around the eye itself. Well, what are the causes eye skin wrinkles easily.

1. The skin is thinner

Compared with other skin, the skin around the eyes have a thinner layer. "The thickness of the skin of the eye area is only about 0.5 mm, so that the skin of this area have a greater risk of skin damaging factors," he added. Such factors include UV exposure, irritation, and other environmental factors.

2. Fewer oil glands 

Thin layer of skin on the eye area is also due to low oil glands (sebaceous glands). These oil glands function to keep the moisture in the eye skin area. This little oil glands will cause the skin to dry eye easy. In addition, the area around the eye also has few hair follicles that are useful to protect the surrounding area. 

3. Thin blood vessels

Because the blood vessels and the skin layer is also thin shelter, when the blood vessels and skin aging will be readily apparent on the face. The aging process will cause blood vessels to become hardened and narrowed.

4. Less elastic

The skin around the eyes classified as less elastic. The content of collagen that makes skin more elastic is very little. In addition, the collagen in the skin layer is also very smooth and thin.

5. Thin layer of fat

The skin around the eye have a little layer of fat, so that when pressed even this layer does not feel rubbery and "fat". A little layer of fat which will make the eye area skin, either under the eyes or on the eyelid, it will be easier and faster sagging wrinkles.

6. many flashes

Every human being must blink. Within a minute, you can blink about 15 times. And in one day, you can blink to 14 400 times. Muscle activity such as blinking eyes will also affect the formation of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

With proper care and perform massage in the eye area, this fine line can be disguised.

The Facts About Anti Aging Cream

Skin aging is often a concern, especially for women. It is undeniable that the older the skin gets wrinkled or aging. The problem is at a young age but premature aging. One of the ways used to reduce signs of aging is to use anti-aging cream. Compounds that play an important role in anti-aging creams are retinol content of which is a derivative of vitamin A. Retinol, which is also called Retin-A or renova, became the main standard in products anti-aging creams. However, many consumers who do not know the facts about anti aging cream, which may affect how anti aging creams maximum effect.

1. Retinol in the cream will break down if exposed to light and air.  

Retinol is very sensitive to light, and if exposed to direct light, most likely this material will not be effective again when used. A study conducted in 2004 and published in the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy showed that retinol is a substance which is unstable when exposed to oxygen in the air too much and often. 

After using the cream for a month, usually cream will not work optimally again as when first opened. This is because retinol damage caused by exposure to air. You can delay the damage retinol anti-aging cream by putting cream in a dark room, or in an airtight container to maintain stable longer.

2. Anti aging cream works best when used separately with products that contain acid. 

To work optimally, retinol requires a neutral pH. If we use a variety of cream products for the face, avoiding the use of anti-aging creams along with other products that contain salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or vitamin C. If you must use products that contain these acids, should be used separately and in a long distance. For example, use of vitamin C in the morning, and anti-aging cream in the evening.

3. Depending on the strength of retinol levels. 

Concentration of retinol in the cream affects the content of their effectiveness in work, and remove wrinkles on the face velocity. Usually showed the most out after use for 6 weeks, but not strong enough to remove wrinkles and black spots on the face completely.

4. Anti-aging creams to improve your skin slough off dead skin.

How it works retinol anti-aging creams on your skin to peel it first appears to release the dead skin before making it look better. The best you have to do is use a cream with retinol content gradually lower until your skin has improved and no peeling. This will usually take between 6-8 weeks.

5. Retinol works best at night.

Anti-aging cream is best applied at night. This is caused by exposure to UV rays is less than during the day, and the highest temperature reached during the night. This will help the absorption of retinol into the skin so that it can work with the maximum. When sleeping, use a silk pillowcase to prevent the cream stick to the fabric.
