Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach Review

Hi guys,

Summers are at it’s peak right now, as it’s May, the hottest month in India. And we all face a lot of skin problems in summers. Let’s talk a bit about that..

Skin problems we face in summers

The scorching summer heat, dust, pollution, stress and our lifestyle impact the oxygen levels in our skin. That brings along a lot of skin issues like

  • Dull Skin
  • Uneven Skin tone
  • Dead Skin Cells
  • Sun Tan
  • Dark Spots

Today I am reviewing the new Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach. I am not someone who bleaches regularly, I was a little wary of bleaching and used to do it occasionally. I met Dr. Rashmi Shetty at an event and asked her about bleaching, if it is bad for the skin, and to my surprise, she said not at all. She said you just need to add moisture and hydration to the skin, if you take care of it, then bleaching does no harm.

So I am quite confident about bleaching now. I have used the Oxylife bleach previously, but not this new variant and I thought of giving this a try.

Claims and Features of Oxylife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach: Gone are those days when bleaching caused a row of sirens blazing in your head. With Oxy Life Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach, your skin will feel pampered like a queen.

  • Enriched with active oxygen and post bleach skin radiance serum, here’s a bleach wonder that will make your life easy
  • Helps in eliminating dark spots
  • Helps even skin tone and remove sun tan
  • Helps repair dull skin and cleanses dead skin cells
  • Suitable for sensitive skin

Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach has patented German Technology – Oxysphere, which enables Pure Oxygen molecules to be penetrated inside the skin, giving it pure boost of Oxygen, leaving it naturally radiant.

It is also enriched with Vitamin E and Glycerin to help condition, brighten and nourish the skin and help solve 5 skin problems to give a naturally radiant looking skin.

MRP: Rs.35/- for 9g (one time use), Rs.80/- for 27g (3 uses)

Benefits of Bleaching

Bleaching helps add oxygen to the skin, making it brighter and helps in evening out skin tone and fading acne spots, etc. It also helps remove dead skin cells and repair dull skin, making it look more vivid and glowing. If you are targeting to eliminate acne scars and spots, you should do it regularly. Bleach can be used every 21 days.

How to use:

Oxylife is widely used in salons, and anytime I happen to go and ask them which bleach do they use, majorly it’s always Oxylife.

It comes with the creme bleach, powder activator, spatula, post bleach serum and an instructions manual. The creme bleach and powder activator is to be mixed in the ratio of 7:1. If you are not sure of the measurements, you can buy the one time use pack and mix both in the quantity given.

I have the 3 time use pack with me, and if you follow me on Snapchat, you must have already seen me using this.

You can mix the creme and powder in the dish that comes in the creme tub. Mix it well till the powder dissolves.

Steps of application:

  • Remove all makeup with a makeup remover and wash your face.
  • Pat dry with a tissue/paper towel.
  • Apply the bleach first on the Y zone i.e. the neckline, jaw and chin
  • Then on the the T zone i.e. the forehead, upper lip and nose
  • And in the last 5 minutes on the C zone i.e. the cheeks
  • Avoid eyes, lips, eyebrows completely. Keep it on for 10 minutes if you have deep skin, 15 minutes for wheatish skin and a little bit longer if you have fair skin.

I kept it for 10-15 minutes and washed it with normal water. I saw an immediate difference on my skin! Skin was more even toned and clear looking. The tan was all gone, and there was a fresh glow to the face.

It also works on dark spots, but with regular use, once every 21 days.

Few Pointers:

  • A patch test is recommended for first-time users.
  • Cleanse the skin well and pat dry, before use.
  • Creme Bleach and the activator powder should be used in the ratio of 7:1, Mix the crème bleach and powder activator for 2 minutes with the spatula provided till powder activator completely dissolves.
  • Apply the mixture on the area to be bleached.
  • Avoid application on eyebrows and around the eyes.
  • Wash off the application with water and Apply the post-bleach serum.
  • Bleach should be used once in every 21 days
  • Do not use soap/face wash for 5 hours after bleach.
  • Avoid going into sunlight immediately.

Why Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Creme Bleach

It comes with the post bleach skin radiance serum that is very moisturizing. I can feel the glycerin in the serum and it hydrated the skin well. I do not use anything else on my face for about 12-15 hours and avoid going out. I would recommend bleaching in the evening, so that you can skip direct exposure to sunlight.

I love the fact that this is ammonia free. Whenever you bleach, go for ammonia free bleach only. My eyes get irritated and water a lot during bleach, and I was surprised that this did not irritate my eyes at all.

It fights all skin problems that come along with sun exposure, stress and pollution and gives a healthy looking radiant and glowing skin! Skin gets more oxygen, and it repairs dull skin and helps in fading acne scars/spots.

It comes in different sizes,  the one time use pack is perfect for travel too.

Overall, I am really happy with the results. It does what it claims, and I highly recommend trying this out.

Dabur Active Blood Purifier Review

By Archana

Hi all,

Today’s review is on a slightly different product, not the regular skincare and haircare stuff. Its a health supplement which helps in giving clear and glowing skin. Dabur is a trusted brand when it comes to health and personal care products. And this new product by them claims for “a pimple free skin with natural glow” in just 7 days! Naturally, I was intrigued by this claim and bought the product blindly. Read on to know whether Dabur Active Blood Purifier satisfies its claims or not.

Products claims: Dabur Active Blood Purifier purifies blood to give you pimple free skin with natural glow. Its natural formulation works from inside to purify blood and attacks bacteria so that the blood gets purified and there is improvement in pimples or other skin ailments.

• It promises start of action within 7 days

• Prevents recurrence of pimples

• Pimple free skin with natural glow

• Goodness of Honey for excellent taste

• Safe & effective

Price and quantity: Rs.95 for 200ml (Buy HERE for Rs.80)

Key Ingredients:

Manjistha: It is beneficial for skin health. It acts as a rejuvenator and has inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Khadira: Known for its blood purification properties. The name Khadira literally translates to the one that destroys disease and brings stability to the body.

Shveta Sariva, Nimba, Madhusnuhi, Haridra, Guduchi and Madhu.

Directions to use: (Adults) 2 tablespoonful (10ml) twice daily or as directed by the physician.

Packaging:

The syrup comes in a glass bottle with a metal screw lid. The bottle is housed in an outer carton which details all about the product. I wish there was a measuring cap with it so that we can measure 10ml. The packaging comes in 2 sizes – 100ml and 200ml.

Texture and fragrance:

The syrup is dark brown in color and resembles a cough syrup. It has a herbal fragrance mixed with honey which is soothing to the senses.

My experience:

I started drinking this syrup twice daily – once in the morning and once in the evening. I drank it before having breakfast or dinner on an empty stomach for more effective results. The taste is little herbal and little sweet due to the presence of honey. It tastes very much like the Himalaya cough syrup. Unlike other health supplements which I had to force down my throat, I actually liked this taste and am glad that they have added honey. As without honey, am sure it will taste horrible. At the time I started drinking this, I was suffering from heavy acne, dryness and pigmentation issue. Which was why I bought this in the first place. I was waiting for 7 days as mentioned. But I couldn’t notice any effect at all. I mean no effect, nothing and nothing at all. I waited 10 days. Still no results. I was totally disappointed. I thought just drinking Patanjali Amla Juice would be more effective than this as I have done in the past. But Patanjali Amla Juice has a very bitter taste and I had to force myself to drink it everyday.

After 10 days, I gave up hope and was simply drinking to finish the bottle. By the end of the month, I could see my pimples clearing up. Maybe you can argue the pimples cleared up on its own and its not the effect of the product. But unlike usual times, this time the pimples didn’t leave behind any marks or scars. And I could also see a nice healthy glow in my skin. Similar to the effect I got with Patanjali Amla Juice. Also, I used to face regular acidity and gastric problems. But after a month of drinking Dabur Active Blood Purifier, they reduced. In my opinion the product works, but it takes more time and is slower than similar products. But it tastes better.

Pros:

* Nice sweet taste due to the presence of honey.

* Easy to drink.

* With regular use, gives natural glowing skin.

* Pimples are cleared without leaving behind any marks.

* Reduces acidity and gastric problems.

* Impressive ingredients list.

* Affordable.

Cons:

* Takes time to show results.

Rating: 4.5/5

Verdict: Overall, Dabur Active Blood Purifier is a good health supplement for clear and glowing skin. And also for general health and wellbeing. Unlike other health supplements, it tastes good due to addition of honey. It takes time to show results but is worth the wait.

Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil Review

Gorgeous hair is best maintained by the age-old wondrous coconut oil. However, no matter what your hair type, texture, colour or length, you may fall prey to hair problems, at some point in their life. Are you battling hair fall, dandruff, split ends and more? Pollution, stress levels, sun, erratic lifestyles, inadequate diets, etc., could be playing havoc on your hair. While you can’t change what has been done, maybe it’s time to sit, up, take notice and use something extra. Make repairs with Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut + + Hair Oil and make hair damage a thing of the past!

Dabur Vatika Coconut Oil Key Ingredients: Say goodbye to all your hair problems. Switch to Vatika!

3 hair problems, 1 solution. With the triple power of Amla, Henna and lemon, Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil, saves your hair from problems like dandruff, split ends and hair fall, thereby giving it volume and shine that make your tresses gorgeous!

MRP: Rs.84/- for 180ml (150ml + 20% extra free)

Benefits of Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil:

  • It helps in deep conditioning your scalp
  • Amla promotes hair growth
  • Coconut is very nourishing and hydrates and nourishes even the hair follicles
  • Amla helps prevent hair greying
  • Lemon is very good to keep dandruff at bay
  • Coconut oil being rich and hydrating, also helps get rid of split ends
  • Coconut helps retain moisture in the hair & also works on repairing damaged hair
  • Coconut oil is a natural detangler for hair
  • Henna also helps retain hair colour and keep it rich and dark

And there are numerous other benefits of Coconut alone, much more of Henna, Amla and Lemon infused together. In monsoons, if I get wet in the rains, the first thing that gets affected is my hair. If I do not immediately oil my hair and wash them, the texture changes and I even face dandruff issues coz of the rain water. In winters, dandruff is the main issue always. I am glad the Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair oil has lemon which is what I mostly use for my dandruff, this is helping me keep dandruff at bay.

How I use it: I either keep oil in my hair overnight or do use it an hour before shampooing, and it makes a huge difference. Whenever I have oiled my hair before shampooing, the hair is super smooth and more softer with less frizz than just alone shampooing. Overnight oiling is more beneficial, but if forgot or do not like the oil on your hair overnight, at least try and use it an hour before shampooing.

It takes an extra wash to remove the oil, but then it’s so worth it. Fortunately, Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Oil is not that sticky and very light in texture, it would not make your look like an oil slick or give you that sticky feeling when you touch your hair.

I would say it is one stop for all your hair problems from hair breakage, split ends, greying , dandruff, etc. Use this twice a week on a continuous basis and you will definitely see a lot of improvement in your hair.

It is very economical price wise too, plus I got 20% extra 😀 I love the light smell too, it is not over powering or bothering.

This is my current favourite hair oil. I definitely recommend trying it out.

Hair Concerns, Causes & Cures

Hi guys,

Today I am talking about the hair concerns/problems most of us face. From dryness, greying, hair fall, split ends to dandruff, itchiness, oily scalp, etc. there are so many different hair issues one faces at every different point of time.

If you have dry scalp and hair, it is mostly itchy, flaky scalp, dandruff and frizz that one faces usually. If you have oily scalp and hair, then hair looks weighed down, greasy and dull. Greying of hair, dandruff and hair fall is like very common for all hair types, those are some common hair problems.

This is my natural hair which is curled..no extensions

I have talked about hair fall and how to grow long, healthy hair before HERE and HERE.

Chemical treatments like coloring and straightening/rebonding are the main culprits when it comes to dry or damaged hair. Coloring especially using a light color/bleaching rips off the moisture from your hair strands and makes it very thin. When you compare it to your natural hair, the colored strands are half in thickness and look dry, dull and frizzy. Rebonding is again chemically changing your hair structure while leads to terrible hair fall! Avoid chemical treatments and coloring as much as you can.

Straight Hair

Heat styling is again something that causes hair to become dry and frizzy, you should avoid using heat especially if you have dry hair. Keep it occasional and if you cannot avoid it, then use a very good heat protectant before heat styling.

A good healthy diet and proper sleep can change the way your skin and hair looks and feels completely. Hair needs iron, zinc, protein, etc. and if it is not getting those nutrients from the diet, it will start falling as they won’t be strong enough and not grow at a rate they should. Proper sleep can help reduce your stress and also some amount of exercise/yoga helps manage stress and keep it in check.

Pollution and sun exposure are other culprits which damage your hair. Always carry a scarf/umbrella to protect your hair. Tie and cover your hair when you are swimming or working out, so as to protect it from chlorine or sweat respectively.

Dry hair which does not get enough nutrients also leads to split ends since the ends of the hair are not getting nourishment. And heat styling ,etc further dries out the ends.

Apart from a proper diet and managing your stress, you need to avoid coloring/chemical treatments/heat styling, etc. and nourish your hair with the right products.

Hair oils/serums/heat protectants, etc. are here to help your hair and keep them hydrated and nourished. Oil your hair twice a week and shampoo 2-3 times a week to keep dirt and dandruff at bay.

Oiling helps you in many ways as it is something that goes within your scalp and nourish your hair from the roots. Hair oils are the only hair care product that actually work from within and go onto the scalp. Don’t worry about using excess oil as the scalp will absorb only as much as is needed. I am currently using the Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil once/twice a week. Even if I forget to oil it overnight, I use it at least one hour before shampooing. Whenever I oil my hair, the hair is smoother, shinier and tangle free post shampooing, even without a conditioner.

Also, deep conditioning helps me keep dandruff and split ends at bay. For dandruff, the best thing is not let your scalp dry and if you are suffering from too much dandruff which just doesn’t leave you, try a few home remedies. For me, soaking methi/fenugreek seeds overnight in water and blending them with curd and applying half an hour before washing my hair works. Also lemon juice works at some times.

So these were some of the hair concerns, causes of it and how to avoid/cure them.

What do you think of hair problems? How do you manage them?

First Impression: OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach

Hi guys,

There are so many times we feel our skin looks dull and lacks that inner glow. We all need that glow, right 😉 Especially before an important event or a party.

Does your skin lack glow and looks dull and dark? Has uneven skin tone? Often exposed to harsh sunlight,dirt and pollution? Well chances are it lacks oxygen.

With age, your skin loses its ability to retain and utilise oxygen for normal metabolic processes. Oxygen basically nurtures and energizes your skin, making it look hydrated, plumper and younger!

And how can you get oxygen into your skin? This new bleach OxyLife can help.

Powered with the patented OxySphere Technology developed in Germany, OxyLife bleach gives a radiance that a regular facial can never give.

How does OxySphere Technology work?
Enables pure oxygen molecules to be trapped in the product
Oxygen is released from the product at the time of application
Oxygen molecules go inside the skin to give a high boost of pure oxygen

What does OxyLife bleach claim: BECAUSE THAT GLOW ON YOUR FACE IS PRICELESS! Presenting, the original oxygen bleach that makes you look radiant in just 15 minutes – OxyLife. Enriched with active oxygen and post-bleach skin radience serum, OxyLife solves 5 fairness problems like-dark spots, uneven skin tone, dull skin, dead skin cells and sun tan.

What does OxyLife bleach do to your skin?
When OxyLife bleach is applied on the skin, pure oxygen is released.The scientifically formulated bleach has micro structurants which help prevent the released oxygen from escaping into the atmosphere. The oxygen carries active ingredients into your skin, brightens, nourishes, energizes and protects, giving you naturally radiant skin instantly!

How I use:

  • Wash face with plain water and pat dry.
  • Take crème bleach and powder activator in the ratio of 7:1.
  • Using the spatula, mix the activator and crème for a good 2 minutes till the powder activator dissolves completely.
  • Apply the mixture on the area to be bleached. Avoid application on eyebrows and around the eyes.
  • Allow it to remain for 10-12 minutes
  • Wash off with cold water.
  • Apply the post-bleach skin radiance serum on the bleached area

MRP: Rs. 35/- for 7g (1 use), Rs. 80/- for 27g (3 uses)

My skin needed that oxygen or that glow, it was starting to look dull of late. So I thought why not give this a try. Also OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach is ammonia free, that gave me another reason to try it out.

OxyLife Bleach will help get rid of all your dead skin cells, tan and make the frizz on the face lighter in turn giving you a fresh, glowing look.

I tried the single use pack of OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach, I feel the single use pack is better as it comes pre-measured and there is no risk of too much cream or activator.

The post bleach skin radiance serum is transparent and gel like in texture. It glides on smoothly on the face and gives a dewy finish to the skin.

My skin looked fresh and radiant, I could see a visible difference. I have a bit of fuzz too, so with that being light and the tan and dead cells gone,my skin looked amazing. I believe the effect would easily last for 2-3 weeks.

Absolutely loved the OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach and recommend it. For people who regularly bleach, you can try this out next and for people who want to get into bleaching, start with something mild like this one.

I am not into regular bleaching but whenever I do, I will prefer OxyLife Bleach, definitely #SayYesToOxygen
