Radiance by Nature : Auravedic Pulpy Face Wash Honey Almond

The first time I opened this product - I remember how confused I was .. I just smelled the product and thought - Hmm..Yummy smell ..Dunno how to use it though ... Just keep it for now ....

I stashed away the product in the vanity and a day later I received a mail from Auravedic regarding instructions on how to go about using this face wash. I tried it that very day and I was amazed its results ---

First Look At the Product :

The product comes in a tub like packaging with a screw cap lid. The lid opens up to reveal another vacuum lid inside to prevent the spillage of the concentrate. The product is very travel friendly.

 

My Experience with the Product:

This face wash is certainly one of the kind - It is very unique from all the other regular face washes..  The face wash is a pulp concentrate of Honey and Almond in a oil based formulation. 

The moment you open the tub .. You are greeted with a honey colored gel like concentrate which chiefly has sweet aromatic smell. 

Since the product is in the concentrated form - I take a small pea amount of it and dilute it with few drops of water for wash. 

This product will last you for months easily since you only need a minute amount of the pure pulp everytime you use it.

The diluted face wash goes on smooth onto my facial skin and does not lather like all the other face washes - Has to be - Its FREE OF SLS !!

It is very efficient in cleansing all the dirt and oiliness - giving my skin a squeaky clean feeling and leaving it soft and radiant. 

This product didn't give me any breakouts or reactions.

Also due to extreme high concentrate of the natural extracts, It is advised to keep the face wash away from eyes - It stings like hell  if it gets into your eyes !!!

All Auravedic products advise us that we must check the ingredients list to check if all extracts present may not make it suitable for all skin types. 

This face wash is formulated for dry skin but it worked absolutely fine on my combination skin tone. 

There are also other variants of this Face wash available - Neem Tea Tree Pulpy Face Wash (For oily acne prone skin) &  Rose Saffron Pulpy Face Wash (For Anti Aging and/or Dry Skin). 

Love it or Chuck it ?

Absolutely LOVE IT !!!

I assure you that this product will be your HG face wash from the moment you use it !!

Lakme Fruit Moisture Winter Care Lotion - Honey & Avocado.

Hello Girls ... I am back !!! The trip was wonderful and I had lots of fun in the wedding too... I had been to Gujarat for my cousin's wedding and the weather there was same as Mumbai but the nights were slightly chilled - Which was just the way I like it !!!

Earlier I was using Lakme's Fruit Moisture Technology Peach Milk Moisturizer, but the hydration which lotion provided to my skin was not enough - I had to re-apply lotion by evening because my skin become dry by the afternoon time. Hence I decided to switch to Lakme's Winter Care Lotion with Honey & Avocado during my trip.

I assumed the winter care lotion will be rich in texture and provide my skin with better moisturization. Read on to find out how the lotion fared on my list ---

Product:Lakme Fruit Moisture Winter Care Lotion - Honey & Avocado.
Price: 139 INR
Quantity: 120 ml

What the company claims?

Fruit Moisture Honey & Avocado Winter Care Lotion with Nutriv moisture Technology -A breakthrough deep moisturizing technology that is a blend of 9 Hydrating Agents

Essential vitamins 1 anti oxidant & 1AHA

Seeps into your skin’s deepest layers to replenish and revive parched skin.Experience deeply moisturized skin for 12 hours long.

Usage: 
Use everyday over cleansed skin for optimal results. Suitable for all skin types. 

My Take on the Product: 


The lotion comes in a stylish cream bottle with a flip cap top which dispenses light peach colored lotion. The bottle is travel friendly and quite sturdy. 


The lotion is slightly fragrant. It is somewhat similar to that of Honey and Avocado Winter Care cream which I have reviewed it earlier HERE. It smell is not over empowering and tends to linger on for a while. Also the fragrance is not as artificial as the Peach Milk Moisturizer I had used before 


The lotion is neither creamy thick nor liquid and runny. The consistency is just right. It sinks right into your skin and provides just the amount of hydration that our skin needs in this winter season. 

The lotion is not as rich as a body butter but it does provides moisturization for more than 6 hours.


Applying the lotion right after you step out of a shower is a BliSS !! The fragrance lingers on and your skin is instantly soft fresh and moisturized. 


The lotion also kinda precipitates after continuous usage over the week - I don't like cleaning up the mess that accumulates at the mouth of  the bottle.


Again this lotion has all the four "Carbon" atoms parabens i.e methyl (1 Carbon), Ethyl (2 Carbon), Butyl ( 4 Carbon) and Propyl (3 Carbon) PARABENS.  I still don't get the point of importance of using so variety of paraben compounds in one product.



Also the lotion lacks SPF .. so you need to apply separate sunscreen. 




Love it or chuck it ? 

It is perfect lotion for Mild Winters. Worth trying once !! Might not work for very dry skinned people though...

Lakme Fruit Moisture - Winter Care Cream with Honey and Avocado

With Winters upon us and the increasing dry weather - My skin has started welcoming rough patches and the stretchy feeling, So I started using Lakme's Fruit Moisture Range.

The first thing I have been using is this winter care cream which has Honey and Avocado.
Read on to find out how did this cream worked on me --

Product: Lakme Fruit Moisture Winter Care Creme SPF 9  Honey and Avocado

Price: 150 INR

Claims: 

Lakme Honey and Avocado Winter Perfect Day Cremem with Nutritive Moisture Technology is a blend of 4 Hydrating Agents, 1 Essential Vitamin and 1 Anti Oxidant.

This luscious blend of honey and avocado with SPF 9 soaks into your skin's deepest and driest layers giving you Moisture Boost.

Moisturized skin protected from the winter sun.

A perfect creme dor daytime application.

Usage:
Use everyday over cleansed skin for optimal results. Suitable for all skin types.

Caution: 
Avoid contact with eyes. Wash your eyes thoroughly with clean water in case of eye contact.

My Experience with the Product:


This creme comes in tub like packaging with a twist top cap. Lakme 's Fruit Moisture Range is inspired by that fluid lines of the ingredients and Hence it has changed the packaging of the products to better suit the theme.

I quite like the sleek packaging of the product.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the product was the fragrance of the creme - which is chiefly a blend of avocado and settles down with a hint of honey.

The moment you apply the creme onto your skin, your filled with the aroma of the product which instantly refreshes you.

The texture of the cream is so light -  it just glides onto your skin and is absorbed easily.

The creme does a fantastic job of keeping your skin moisturised for hours.

SPF 9 is provided to protect from the sun's UV rays - I think SPF 9 is not enough for mumbai's heat so I need to apply sunscreen separately.

Love it or Chuck it ?
Love it ... This cream is perfect for winters... will work great with dry skinned people... Oilies be careful with the quantity of cream you apply on the skin to achieve perfect result.
