Ingredients:

How to Use:
Wet skin and apply it liberally.
When it is semi dry, clean with damp cloth or rinse off with water.

MRP: Rs.175/- for 100ml

Since both are from the Papaya Range, I decided to review them together..I also use them together at times..

Both have a yellowish orange tub packaging with an orange cap..they have an overly sweet artificial smell which I did not like..

The scrub is brown in base with black walnut granules for scrubbing…its creamy enough and glides well on the skin..and the mask too has same texture..in fact the ingredients list for both are the same..except for the added walnut granules in the scrub.

It gives a tingling sensation for a few seconds at times but then resides soon.

Pros:

1. Parabens and chemicals free
2. Scrub is creamy enough for use..and does not dry on the skin in between…and same goes for the pack..in fact I like the fact that the pack is creamy and not watery kinds unlike a few face packs.
3. Economical.
4. Good enough quantity.
5. Both helped reduce tan and skin felt refreshed and moist..and not drying.
6. Ingredients include almond oil, clay and aloe vera along with Papaya..all are good for the skin.
7. Would suit all skin types..except sensitive skin..the scrub might be a little harsh for sensitive skin.
8. Shelf life of 3 years.

Cons:

1. The smell ! I hate the overly sweet smell.
2. Vedic Line is only available online.
3. Jar packaging.
4. Scrub might not suit sensitive skin.
5. I am amazed at the same ingredients in both..when both serve different purpose !
6. Contains Phenoxyethanol ! (More harmful than parabens)

Overall I liked both..but I liked the face pack more than the scrub..and for Papaya Scrub..Biotique Papaya Scrub is still my HG ! I surely recommend the face pack though.

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again : Umm..ya the face pack..

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.

Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm Review
TOTAL SOLUTION BB CREAM WITH 10-IN-1 EFFECTS. Moisture based triple function BB cream takes care of the base as well as colour makeup and allows the skin to look bright and natural without greasiness or feeling tight.

Skin79’s all-time best seller, this product offers a one-step quick-fix for a total of ten beauty grouses. It improves wrinkles, fends off UV damage, nourishes skin, hydrates, builds resilience, protects skin against pollution, controls sebum and acts as a makeup base and foundation.

Its girly pink packaging also speaks to the princess in every young lady, and is a charming acquisition to any dressing table.

Suitable for oily / combination skin.

MRP: $ 28.00 for 40g

Ingredients:

ADENOSINE AND ARBUTIN penetrate deeply to whiten, brighten, iron out wrinkles and give skin elasticity.

OSMOPUR, a patented compound of sunflower, rice bran and ivy extracts shields the skin against environmental stressors.

PHYTO COMPLEX, a potent blend of plant extracts, deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin.

SPF 25 PA++ protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, which burn the skin, cause premature aging and contribute to cancer.

ULTRA-FINE MAKEUP INGREDIENTS with light reflecting properties work as a base to correct skin irregularities and uneven skin tone, while giving skin a natural, no-makeup look.

SKIN79 Features and Benefits

  • Produces a very natural, “no makeup look”
  • Provides perfect coverage like a foundation would but since it’s not as thick, it doesn’t clog the pores
  • Works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer
  • Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and other blemishes
  • Has healing properties that soften, smoothen and refine skin
  • Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin
  • Contains UV Protection for healthy skin (SPF levels differ for each brand/product)
  • Anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits are also available for some variants.

It also comes in a 15g sleek round hot pink travel friendly bottle..that costs 16$

This Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream is their hot selling and most demanded BB Cream..it is out of stock many a times.

Unblended
Blended

It love the hot pink round packaging ! This sure look pretty in every girl’s stash..it has a light floral smell..not too bothering..it has a gel like texture…and blends easily into the skin with fingers..this works best with fingers..it has a normal easy to use pump dispensor..and one pump is generally enough..unless you want to layer up or cover blemishes.

It has a slight greyish tint..but the color oxidizes a little and adjusts to the skin tone..though I think its more suitable for people around NC/ NW 20-30..gives me a little whitish cast..may be coz of the sunscreen content too..this one is not meant for photographs..

Pros:

1. Feels super light on the skin.
2. Gives medium coverage and evens out the skin tone..especially the redness if you have any..due to acne.
3. Though it mentions for oily to combination skin..it would suit all skin tones..dry skin might need a moisturiser underneath..and very oily skin would need to powder the skin.
4. Adjusts to the natural skin tone.
5. Offers SPF25 PA ++..so would not need a separate sunscreen.
6. It can be layered on blemishes, etc uncovered with a single application, like a concealer..and still the finish is even and smooth..there is no patchiness.
7. Love the hot pink packaging.
8. Gives a dewy finish.
9. Stays for a good 6-7 hours..and starts wearing off later.
10. There is a visible improvement in the skin..after continued usage.
11. It does not transfer on your tissue or hanky once set.

Cons:

1. Gives a little whitish cast..so not for photographs.
2. Has parabens.
3. This may not work for duskier skin tones.

Other than that..I did not find any other con..I am quite loving it..though availability is an issue here..but its available on ebay and many sites online..but there are many fakes..and you have to rely on a site you know sells authentic ones..

Some pointers to check if the Skin79 BB cream is genuine..

L-R: Perforated Tearing, Bar Code, Label
  • Check for the perforated tearing on the box which can be torn and has contents on the inside.
  • Skin79 bar code marking on the box.
  • Black and silver Skin79 untampered label on the bottle.

Would I buy it again: Yes

Five habits people with lucky skin share

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
Five habits people with lucky skin share

Are women with naturally beautiful skin just plain lucky? We spill the beans.

Five habits people with good skin share:

Habit #1: They never go to bed with makeup on

After a long, tiring night, it may be the last thing you’d want to do – wash your face. But by now we all know that leaving makeup on can be disastrous for your skin. It clogs your skin’s pores, trapping the oil, leading to dead cell accumulation and even breakouts. Worse, leaving eye makeup on can result in you waking up with itchy, red eyes. So no matter how tired you are, walk up to the sink and wash it off.

We suggest you pour some baby oil onto a cotton ball and remove eye-makeup and then just wash your face with a good face-wash. This is less cumbersome in comparison to using a cleansing lotion. Do this only on nights that you are very tired. Otherwise go the elaborate way, as it removes any trace of leftover makeup.

Habit #2: They wear sunscreen everyday

The sun’s harmful rays are known to be a major cause for skin damage; even causing early ageing. So this is definitely one thing you mustn’t skip before heading out during the day. Experts recommend using a sunscreen with SPF 30 at least in combination with a moisturiser. Even oily skin needs external moisture application. But choose one that isn’t too heavy.

Habit #3: They keep their hands off their faces

Many people can’t seem to keep their hands off their faces. This is one nasty habit. By doing this, you’re transferring all the bacteria from your dirty hands — that have touched all things under the sun — onto your face. And now we know why your skin has been breaking out.

Keep your hands strictly off your face. Don’t touch it unnecessarily, when you have to use clean hands.


Habit #4: They get their beauty sleep

When one doesn’t get adequate zzzz time, it shows on the skin. All those lucky women who have glowing, radiant skin never skimp on their sleep. Sleep time is when your skin repairs itself, if you take that away from it – your skin is likely to look haggard.

So get at least 8 hours of sleep a day. Unless you’re doing that you are missing out on the last burst of growth hormone that is released during the last stage of sleep. This growth hormone is known to play a key role in carrying blood to the skin’s surface, which oxygenates the skin and improves its overall appearance.

Habit #5: They don’t overdo it

This one is of utmost import. The best skincare regimes are those that are done in balance. By this we mean, not overdoing them in your hunt for perfect skin. Over cleansing, over moisturising and over medicating the skin upsets the balance. For example, you’re having breakouts, and so you try using a host of products that control oil secretion. When you do this, you end up over-drying your skin, and this puts the sebaceous glands in your skin on alert, and they begin to produce more oil, resulting in more breakouts.

So wash your face two times a day. Moisturise it and apply sunscreen in the morning. At night, make sure you remove all makeup and apply a night cream that suits you. Get facials once a month or perhaps every 15 days if you think your skin needs one. But don not over do any skincare regime.

7 Spring Makeup Trends and Skin Care Tips to Try

7 Spring Makeup Trends and Skin Care Tips to Try

Spring is well on its way, and with the new season comes time to not only change up your wardrobe, but your beauty routine and products as well. Pull out all of your products and see what you need to switch out.

Winter weather typically brings dry air and bitter winds, so you likely have a drawer full of heavy moisturizers, eye creams and foundation that can be set aside for a while. It’s time to pack those away and try out the new trends for spring. What’s great about the spring 2012 trends is that there is something for everyone, from bold to fearless to professional or reserved, you’ll find something new to try.

Fresh Faced: Before you consider any product change, get your skin in the best condition by exfoliating and using a face mask. Exfoliating your entire body two to three times per week as well and use a weekly face mask depending on your skin’s needs. Exfoliation will blast away the last remnants of dry winter skin.

Ditch the Heavy Foundation: We love a creamy foundation for winter, but change it out for a tinted moisturizer for spring and summer. No need to buy a new product; make your own by mixing your current liquid or cream foundation with your moisturizer.

Enhance Your Eyes: This spring is all about small pops of color, and your eyelids are the perfect place for that pop. Orange, pinks, blues, and greens – pick your favorite and go for color this spring. We’re also seeing an increase of the strong brow look (not to be confused with unkempt brows) and eyeliner pulled out into a cat-eye look. We’re personally admiring those two looks from afar, but if you’re bold enough, this is the time to find your inner kitty.

Sporty Cheeks: Sporty-flushed cheeks are hot this spring. And lucky for you, you don’t have to be a runner to get the look. Pick a creamy pink or peach blush like NYX Cream Blush in Hot Pink or Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Calypso Coral this spring. Put on your favorite pair of yoga pants and let everyone think you just came out of the gym. We won’t tell.

Lucious Lips: There is a lip trend for everyone this spring. Glossy or matte – take your pick. Glossy pink is hot, hot, hot, and so easy everyone to wear. We are loving NYX Extreme Lip Cream  for just about every skin tone. But if you want matte lips, try a nude or light pink such as Colorbar Velvet Matte in Bare or Thrilling Pink.


Hint of Glow: Don’t dig out the self-tanner just yet. Using an illuminating bronzer will give your face the illusion of inner glow without the fakeness of an early tan. Apply in moderation to the areas of your face that naturally hit the sun, plus your collarbone and your bare shoulders for a natural radiance.

The Most Important Step: Sunscreen! We hope you’ve been wearing a facial sunscreen all winter long, but in case you haven’t, start now. A mineral sunscreen like Clarins UV Plus Dayscreen is so light it’s is almost invisible. The sun is responsible for most of your aging signs so apply after your foundation and again as needed throughout the day.

44 Timeless Beauty Tips
This is a must read,44 beauty tips all together at one place. Even though you may be knowing some of them, does not hurt to know a few extra ;)Look your radiant best with these head-to-toe tips collected from our past 75 years of beauty issues.

Gorgeous Hair

1 | Camouflage roots by zigzagging your part rather than making it straight.

2 | Brush hair from roots to ends nightly. This distributes natural oils throughout the shaft and gives hair a healthy sheen.

3 | Be direct when telling your hairstylist what you want, and bring photos from magazines of styles you like.

4 | Doing your hair color yourself? Don’t make too drastic a change. Stay within one or two shades of your natural color.

5 | Comb wet hair like the pros: Hold a handful at a time and work from center to ends, then scalp to center.

Beautiful Brows

6 | Soften skin before tweezing by dabbing with a cotton ball soaked in warm water or cream.

7 | Tweeze in the direction the hair grows.

8 | Don’t change the place where your brows peak and never pencil the whole brow. Instead, only fill in holes.

9 | Use only the side of a sharpened brow pencil—not the pointed tip—so as not to draw a hard line.

10 | For unruly brows, apply hairspray to an old toothbrush, then brush brows upward and outward.

Bright Eyes

11 | Treat your eye area gently. This is the most delicate part of your face. Cleanse with care; blot, never rub.

12 | Reduce puffy eyes by splashing with cold water or applying a cold compress (ice cubes in a washcloth): 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off.

13 | When you put on mascara, don’t lower your chin—that’s how mascara gets on your lid.

14 | Get eyeshadow to stay in place by priming lids with moisturizer and foundation.

15 | Always use your ring finger to apply moisturizer or concealer to the eye area. It puts the least amount of pressure on the skin.

Pretty Face

16 | Don’t touch your face unnecessarily. Breakouts can be caused by your own fingers.

17 | Apply cream or cleanser by lightly pressing upward—never down. The delicate skin sags easily enough in time.

18 | For the best color match, test foundation and powder either on your face or neck (the inside of your wrist is too pale)

19 | Use foundation, not concealer (which is lighter than your skin color), to cover up redness or blemishes

20 | Rouge should be well-blended far out on the cheekbone; circles of rouge don’t look good on anyone.

Lovely Lips

21 | Get lips soft and smooth by using a damp, warm washcloth at night to rub off the flaky dry bits; follow with a coat of lip balm

22 | Ease the evening switch to a redder or darker lipstick by applying it over and blending it into your daytime color

23 | To make lipstick last longer, allow it to set for a few minutes after applying, blot lips with tissue and dust them with powder, then apply another coat

24 | Cheeks feeling flushed? Put on a bold color lipstick; a neutral shade will only make red cheeks stand out

25 | For lipliner that glides on, warm it up first by pinching it with your fingertips

Glowing Skin

26 | The best time to apply lotion is right after a shower or bath, when skin is still damp.

27 | When drawing a bath, scatter bubbles or crystals directly under the faucet before turning on the water, but drop in perfume oil while the tub is filling

28 | Beautiful skin starts from within. Include lots of vegetables, fruit and water in your diet

29 | Overdo it with your perfume? Dab rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball on your skin. The alcohol will cut the scent without altering it.

30 | Microwave lotion for 5 seconds to soothe dry winter skin.

Smooth Legs

31 | Improve circulation in your legs and lower the risk of unsightly veins by elevating your feet when resting

32 | Wait until after your shower to shave. The steam softens hairs for smoother results.

33 | Don’t use creams that contain heavy fragrance or alpha hydroxy acids on freshly shaven legs. They’ll sting and cause a rash.

34 | When applying “liquid stockings” [or today’s self-tanner], don’t forget the back of your knees, which are often missed.

35 | Waxing your legs? Pull skin taut before applying the wax to make it easier to remove the strip in one clean motion. Remove leftover wax with a cotton ball dipped in baby oil.

Model-Like Hands

36 | Shape nails with an emery board, filing sides toward center—never straight across—and rounding off edges

37 | What works for your face works for your hands. Remove age spots with facial brightening cream

38 | The fast way to remove nail polish: Hold cotton saturated with polish remover firmly on your nail for a few seconds to let it start working, then wipe nail clean.

39 | Apply polish starting at the pinky, working toward the thumb to avoid dragging your hand across wet nails.

Happy Feet 

40 | To counteract dryness, massage feet with a lanolin-based lotion, kneading it deeply into your instep, then massage soles, heels, top surface and around nails.

41 | Before using a pumice stone or foot file to remove a callus, be sure to soak your foot in warm water for at least 5 minutes. Follow with a little foot cream.

42 | To prevent ingrown nails, trim toenails straight across, not down into the corners.

43 | Relieve swollen feet by soaking them alternately in hot water (for 3 minutes), then cold water (for 1 minute), for a total of 15 minutes.

44 | Use fresh pineapple or kiwi skins, which contain bromelain (a meat tenderizer), to exfoliate heels. Rub the fleshy part over heels for 5 minutes, then rinse, dry and moisturize.

Loved the tips,using ring finger for eye creams and products and moisturiser on damp skin is truly beneficial. And warming eyeliners and lipliners between fingers certainly helps in gliding smoothly.I am surely trying 43 the next time 😉

Common Exfoliation Mistakes

Common Exfoliation Mistakes

While it’s true that no skin care regimen is complete with regular exfoliation, this task does require some basic guidelines to be effective. An important component of regular skin care, an exfoliating product should be strong enough to whisk away dead skin cells and, thus, help to clear out your pores. A good routine can result in skin that is fresher, brighter, less acne-prone, and more youthful.

Exfoliation helps encourage cell renewal and leaves skin looking and feeling radiant. Exfoliation works by gently lifting and removing dead skin cells that leave the skin dull and lack lustre, and gently sloughs them away to reveal brighter, healthier, newer layers of skin. This fresher layer of skin leaves your complexion looking fresh, radiant and youthful. Always make sure you use a quality exfoliator with smaller grains, instead of scrubs with larger grains as these can tear and cause irritation to the delicate skin area, doing more harm than good.

Commit some of these mistakes, however, and you might be cancelling out the supreme benefits of that scrub.

Mistake #1 – You scrub without water.

Before you exfoliate, it’s important to lubricate the skin with warm water. A “dry rub” can irritate the skin, causing redness, rashes, and painful after effects. Do yourself a favor and rinse your face first, then get to the scrubbing while your skin is still wet.

Mistake #2 – You scrub too hard.

Some people think that, to be effective, their exfoliating product must be mushed and mashed all over their face. On the contrary, the product is designed to do most of the work on its own. Instead of pushing and pulling the skin which leads to redness, stretching of the pores, and micro-level damage you won’t see until your older, go easy on your skin. Gently massage your fingertips over the skin in little circles for about 10-15 seconds, then move on to the next area. Any more is just overkill.

Mistake #3 – You scrub too often.

Exfoliation is definitely one of those things where the less-is-more philosophy works. While some of us might think exfoliating every day is a good idea (hey–you’ll get rid of lots of dead skin that way, right?), that’s too much. This kind of routine can leave your skin sore, damaged, and overexposed. For oily skin types, exfoliating twice a week is enough to keep cells turning over at a good pace and pores clear. Combination or dry skin types, however, can stick to a once a week schedule.

Mistake #4 – You scrub without follow-up care.

Scrubbing is important, but it’s a big deal for your skin. After you exfoliate the skin, you should always follow-up with a good moisturizer. Skipping this step can leave your skin over-dry and irritated, which can lead to overproduction of oil and lots of other issues. Quench skin’s thirst right away to avoid a dangerous cycle.

Mistake #5 – You scrub your face, but not everywhere else.

Many of us concentrate our healthy skin habits on one area: the face. But the rest of our bodies need some TLC once in a while today. Beyond washing daily, you should also moisturize daily and use a scrub once a week. Your rough elbows and knees will thank you for the extra attention.

Mistake #6 – You scrub with the wrong tools.

Before you scrub, make sure you’re using the right products for the right parts. Don’t use foot scrubs on your face (too harsh) or face scrubs on your body (not strong enough). The same goes for your scrubbing tools. Using a moderately rough loofah or sponge is okay for the body, but can be too much for the delicate skin on your face. Instead, stick to using your fingers with a scrub or a light exfoliating pad with regular face wash. Both will get the job done without causing irritation.


Mistake #7 – You scrub and carry on as usual.

Ignoring the fact that your skin is sensitive after scrubbing is an all-too-common error. When you scrub, the pores open up, brand new skin cells are exposed, and the moisture balance is a little off-kilter. Yes, stick to using that moisturizer as I mentioned in #4. Beyond that, go easy on your skin the day you exfoliate. After scrubbing, avoid sun exposure, harsh masks or facial peels, and hair removal products. The extra sensitivity can make it much easier to harm, irritate, and dry your skin after your weekly exfoliation.

Following exfoliation, the skin is primed and at it’s peak for absorbing products. This is why you should apply your moisturiser or a masque as the ingredients will absorb quicker and more deeper into the skin for maximum results.

Just by avoiding these common errors, your skin care routine can be greatly improved by regular exfoliation. Treat the skin kindly and it will pay off for years to come.

How to get a glowing skin?

Guest Post by Jessica
Every one of us dream of having a glowing skin that is perfect but very few of us are lucky enough in gaining a healthy skin that is healthy and glowing. There are various factors that contribute for a healthy skin. Here are a few factors that can help you to maintain a glowing skin:

Let your skin glow naturally:
Fresh vegetables and fruits can provide you with all the essential nutrients and vitamins that help you in maintaining a healthy skin tone. Hence instead of spending most of your money on buying expensive skin care products invest your time in eating healthy food. Papaya, guava, spinach and lime are rich in vitamin A which aid in skin growth. The antioxidant property of tomatoes can help you to protect your skin from damage.

The magic of water:
Water has various different benefits that can help you in maintaining a healthy body. Make sure you drink lot of water especially during the summer season in order to flush out the toxins that are present in the body. The combination of hydrogen and oxygen molecules can help you to maintain the elasticity of the skin. It is very essential to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water every day. Steaming once in a week can help you to get glowing skin.

Take good care of your skin:
Always use minimum amount of makeup for your skin. Cleanse your skin well at least twice a day .Apply sunscreen lotion every time you leave your house. It can help you prevent sun damage to your skin. Lip balm or Chap Stick can be used to protect your lips from the harmful effects of the sun. Washing your face every night before you go to bed can help you remove all the environmental factors that are present in your skin.

Exercise regularly:
A healthy diet and good physical activity are the two crucial factors that can help you to maintain a glowing skin in the long run. Cardio exercises can make your skin glowing as it stimulates blood flow in your body. You can even maintain a healthy body and stay physically fit. Make sure you follow regular exercise regime in order to experience the benefits throughout your life.

Other factors:
Stress can be a major factor that can affect the skin texture and glow. It is very essential to lead a healthy life with minimum stress and tension. Make sure you get plenty of sleep every day. Use the best skin care products to enjoy the best benefits. Choose products that have minimum side effects on your skin. Never use too much of make up on your skin and if you do so don’t forget to remove them every night before going to bed. Try to keep your hands away from your face as they oil present in your hand can clog the pores which are present in your face. The above tips and suggestions can help you to maintain a glowing skin forever.

No more shying away from skin care products or make-up because it irritates your face, makes your eyes weep, stings your skin, or leaves you red and blotchy!  With Queen Cosmetics, whether you’re using a cleanser, toner or moisturiser, eye make-up remover, hand cream, soap, foundation cream or blusher, you can rest assured the product is free-from perfume, masking fragrance and essential oils, and contains as few ingredients as possible, minimising the risk of irritation or inflammation of your skin and eyes.  These mild, gentle, efficacious formulae are not tested on animals and have a reputation of being tried, tested and proven over 8 decades by a long list of loyal clientele; many of which, like our Queen, have kept the source of their beautiful skin, a closely guarded secret!

Queen Classics is the company’s core range of face, body and hair care products but, if you’re a grandmother, like our Royal Queen, you might be interested to try Queen Cosmetics’ Sensiderma range, skin care products formulated specifically for drier, more mature sensitive skin.  What’s more, to celebrate its 85th Anniversary, Queen Cosmetics is saying thank you to all its website customers by giving away a FREE SKIN CARE GIFT with every new purchase worth £10 and over. What better time to give your skin the majestic treatment, start using Queen Cosmetics’ skin care and make-up products today to look your very best, make you feel extra-special and to treat yourself like a Queen.
