Vichy Purete Thermale Spa 3 in 1 Calming Cleansing Micellar Solution Review

Vichy Purete Thermale Spa 3 in 1 Calming Cleansing Micellar Solution Review

What the Company claims: Cleans, removes make-up and soothes in one go.
SKIN TYPE: Normal
Product CONCERN: For women with sensitive eyes and skin.

Micellar technology captures impurities like a magnet to perfectly clean and remove make-up from sensitive skin without rubbing or rinsing.Gently cleansed, sensitive skin is perfectly clean with no discomfort or tightness.

The non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic formula has been tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control. Formulated for sensitive skin and eyes with physiological pH. Enriched with Vichy Thermal Spa Water, soothing, fortifying and regenerating.
The texture is kind to your sensitive skin and gently eliminates impurities and all traces of make-up. With no need to rinse off, this treatment limits rubbing for gentle make-up removal.

How to use: Apply using a cotton pad to face and eyes. Do not rinse off.

MRP: Rs.990/- for 200ml

Ingredients:

Another Micellar Cleansing water, remember I mentioned this Vichy one in the Bioderma review HERE.

Vichy Purete Thermale Spa 3 in 1 Calming Cleansing Micellar Solution (quite a mouthful) comes in this rectangular bottle packaging with a flip cap. The plastic bottle is slightly big and not very travel friendly.

I have been using this since quite some time now. It removes all of my makeup easily, especially melts the foundation and removes the lipstick in one go.

My only issue was the eye area again 🙁 Sadly how much ever I try and shut my eyes tight while removing my eye makeup, some remover seeps into the eye and the eyes start burning. Thankfully, this did not burn my eyes as much, but yes I couldn’t remove my kajal on the waterline with this too, as with other micellar waters.

Before (Worn Out Makeup) – After

The best thing is you need not wash your face, it is completely non sticky and non greasy. It is just like water, that melts all your makeup and removes it all. It is very calming and soothing and perfect for sensitive skin too.

Compared to Bioderma, this is slightly expensive. (Bioderma Sensibio is Rs.860/- fro 250ml) But both worked almost the same way for me. If you cannot get your hands on the Bioderma one or want to try something new, I would highly recommend you try this Vichy Purete Thermale Spa Micellar Solution.

Overall I would say, apart from my eye area, I loved it using on the face and it made removing makeup quite an ease. I would have preferred if it would come in smaller bottles and different variants.

First Impression: OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach

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

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge: 2nd Update

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge: 2nd Update

Hi guys,

Time for another update of the Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge. Read more about the event and the challenge HERE and the previous update HERE.

Another round of shaving after 9-10 days, my skin is still soft and smooth. I will bust the myth ‘Shaving alters or changes skin color or makes it patchy’ today. I have been shaving my legs since quite some now and it did not at all change the color of my skin. Skin might feel a bit patchy right after shaving,if you go for dry shaving and do not moisturise it enough. If you go for wet shaving, no such issue. And the patchiness is just for a few minutes untill you apply moisturiser, even in dry shaving. It does not make your skin change its texture or color in any way.

Your skin remains the same, and in fact it is even more smoother after shaving 😀 We all love those hairless legs’ feeling, right.

Some tips for shaving correctly:

  • Go for wet shaving while having a bath, whenever you can
  • Do not soak your skin in shower for more than 1-2 minutes, before shaving, as you do not want the skin to swell up.
  • Always moisturise before the bath for a smoother shaving experience.
  • Follow up with a nice moisturiser, preferably with retinol to avoid itching and calm the skin.
  • A shaving gel will make the process easier, if you run out of it, you can use your hair conditioner to shave.
  • Use a calamine lotion if you have sensitive skin.

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge Update

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge Update

Remember my Gillette Venus event and the #SubscribeToSmooth challenge I took for 30 days. Read all about it HERE

So, I shaved again after that and here is an update for you guys. The process has been so so smooth and easy plus super quick. If you read the previous post, I told you how Dr. Rashmi Shetty told us if your skin is well moisturised and then you take a shower and shave, the skin is soft and moist and you can shave in ease. But do not let the skin soak in the bath for too long as the water will plump up the skin and that may affect the smoothness of shave. Ideal time would be 1-2 minutes. I tried that method and it was super amazing.

My skin did not feel any dryness or stretched. There were no white flakes as we usually see in dry shaving or sometimes our skin itches due to that. There was no itching too this time. The Satin Shave gel makes it more softer and prevents skin from drying.

So the myth of shaving makes my skin dry and flaky is busted,right here! If you use the correct products and method, it does not. I am going to continue using this method. I hope you guys try it out too. Do let me know your experience. And leave your questions related to shaving in the comments below or you can even mail me 🙂

Clinique Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skin

Clinique unveils a colourful nail innovation.
A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins

THE FACTS
Did you know a person touches their eyes on average 200 times a day? With all that comes in contact with hands and fingers throughout the day, there are many culprits that can irritate the eyes. Did you know that nail enamel can cause irritation and even contact dermatitis on the suspectibly thin skin around the eye? Amongst the dermotological community, nail enamel is also considered a significant allergen source for periorbital dermatitis—a facial rash that develops around the lower and upper eyelids. People who suffer from these conditions often-times do not realize the connection between touching and rubbing the eye area, and fresh manicures.

THE SOLUTION
As an allergy tested and 100% fragrance free cosmetic brand, Clinique scientists challenged themselves to develop a nail enamel formulated to minimize unwanted reactions to the nails and skin and eyes.

Six years in the making, Clinique introduces a pioneering innovation to the nail enamel industry: A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins is formulated to minimize skin sensitivity. It is dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested and appropriate for sensitive skins and sensitive eyes.

Clinique conducted extensive research to ensure that A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins meets Clinique’s standards of utmost quality. In fact, three years of research and three years of product development stand behind A Different Nail Enamel for Senstive Skins. The final revolutionary formula was tested for one month on women with sensitive skin and sensitive eyes.

The formula is beautifully balanced to maintain a high shine and streak free application. It’s quick drying and available in a wide colour variety, including a few of Clinique’s iconic hues and seasonal, trend setting shades. The high gloss finish is chip resistant for seven days of wear when used in tandem with A Different Nail Enamel Base and Top Coat for Sensitive Skins.


Clinique’s new nail enamel also makes at-home application easy. An exceptionally designed thin, flat brush allows for a controlled spread of saturated colour to glide easily and evenly across the nail bed.

THE COLOURS
12 shades in a rainbow array of go-to colours make up the permanent Clinique nail enamel collection including: Call my Buff, Sweet Tooth, Fizzy, Hi Sweetie, Really Rio, Happy ♥, Red Red Red, Party Red, Black Honey, Indie Rock, Concrete Jungle and Made of Steel.

THE INSPIRATION
Let these cute and clever shade names transport you to a different time and frame of mind….

·         Black Honey: Clinique’s iconic, fan favourite Almost Lipstick shade is now for nails and richer than ever.

·         Red Red Red & Party Red: Two of Clinique’s most beloved shades of red lipstick now exist for nails.

·         Concrete Jungle, Indie Rock & Made of Steel: an array of metallic greys reflect modern, edgy and contemporary style.

DETAILS
A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins is dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested and formulated for sensitive skins. Available at Clinique from June 2013 onwards for INR 1,100/- across India.

Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free.

Type All Skin Types & Especially for sensitive skins
VOLUME 30g

MRP: USD 48.99

The ingredient list is mentioned but its in Chinese language.

I love this round packaging…it opens from all sides like a flower blooming..:p The 30g tube is a medium sized one..not very small..but ya not too big..its wrapped in butter paper..and comes with 2 blenders..which are joined in a heart shape..

They claim it to be a real Blemish Balm…which actually heals blemishes and helps in preventing pigmentation…I am using it from quite some time..

A very thin layer is needed to be spread around..and as mentioned its not supposed to be blended..but just patted..It has a fruity smell which I quite liked..

You need just a little amount as it spreads around well..and covers more area..The only thing is it is gray with a hint of yellow in shade..and does leave a little whitish cast..and it does cover redness..but it would not replace your tinted moisturiser or foundation..since it would not match our skin tones..but this works great as a base too..and at times you can just top this up with a pressed powder..if you want to skip foundation.

Unblended
Blended

It does leave a smooth feeling on the skin..and the foundation or tinted moisturiser also goes on better with this as a base..it also reduces the appearance of pores a little.

It gives a dewy finish at start but settles to a matte finish in a few seconds…this stays put a good 5-6 hours and does not impart any oiliness to the skin.

Pros:

1. It does cover redness and evens out the tone.
2. Works as a base for foundation or tinted moisturiser.
3. It can also be used standalone..just with a pressed powder on top.
4. No preservatives,alcohol, mineral oil or parabens.
5. Its made from natural plant extracts.
6. It does feel soothing on the skin…if your skin is acne prone..this would cover the redness and feel quite soothing.
7. Quite good for sensitive skin.
8. Its small and handy and quite travel friendly.
9. It reduces the appearance of pore size.
10. It is truly a real Blemish Balm..it does what it claims.

Cons:

1. Since its grayish in color..it does give some whitish cast.
2. Expensive.
3. Availability is an issue..its only available on WishTrend as of now.You can buy it here
4. Single universal shade.

Overall I quite like this Blemish Balm. It feels soothing, works as a great base too and reduces the appearance of pores, covers redness and prevents blemishes too.

Dry, Sensitive Skin Relief!

For mature skin that’s extremely dry, and ever so sensitive to mainstream skin care products, try switching to NEW Sensiderma Moisture Soothe!

7 Beauty Tips for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive Skin

People with red hair, or who have Celtic, Irish, British or Scottish heritage often suffer from sensitive skin, which is characterized by very thin, fragile and pink colored skin.

Sensitive skin is often mistaken for allergy-prone skin. In sensitive skin the blood vessels and nerve endings are closer to the surface of the skin, which causes it to get irritated and redden easily from external or internal irritants. Not only can topical application of a cosmetic cause sensitive skin to redden, but so can eating spicy food, consuming caffeine or alcohol, taking niacin (Vitamin B3), exposure to sun or tobacco use.

Sensitive skin is much more likely to develop reactions and allergies to cosmetics, however many reaction to cosmetics for people with sensitive skin may not be associated with true allergies. It takes special attention to the details of foods and cosmetic ingredients to isolate what is causing simply red irritated skin and what is the cause of a true allergy. Either way anyone with sensitive skin knows that whether it is a true allergy or simply a reaction from sensitive skin it is desirable to avoid the cause of the reaction in the future.

7 tips for Sensitive Skin:

  • Avoid cedar wood at this ingredient, all be it naturally derived, can cause skin irritation
  • Don’t use pre purchased face cloths/wipes as these contain chemicals and artificial preservatives that can irritate sensitive skin types
  • Avoid coriander oil this can cause contact dermatitis
  • Splash your face with water before and after cleansing and use a face cloth with luke warm water (not hot!)
  • Avoid artificial fragrances. Not to be confused with natural fragrances – some of which can actually be healing!
  • Select a certified organic face cleanser
  • Be gentle with your skin – don’t rub and scrub vigorously, this can increase the sensitivity
