FabIndia Tea Tree Face Wash Review

Hey Beauties !!

Recent times I got some pimples in my chin which were painful and I got it due to hot weather and ofcourse they left their marks when gone. I was searching for a facewash which cures the blemishes and found this in fabindia claiming that it reduces acne and pimples. 

Description :

An antiseptic face wash ideal for oily skin, containing tea tree oil and turmeric extract. Daily use removes excess sebum reducing acne and pimples. 120 ml.

Price : 185 INR
Ingredients: Purified Water, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate, Cocoamidopropylbetaine, Sodium Chloride, Tea Tree Oil, Salicylic Acid, Guar Gum, Turmeric Extract, Citric Acid.

My Take on the Product (Fabindia Tea Tree face wash) : 

The face wash is a transparent gel in light green color and had a very mild smell and the smell did not disturb much. While cleansing it removes away all the dirt from your face and leave it fresh and clean. The main thing is it does make your face moisturized (I have a combination skin). This face wash does not give you a magic brightening effect but makes your face squeaky clean and when you touch your face you feel them soft. 

Coming to the pimple part, shockingly I got a small pimple next day but then that was the last one which i got, afterwards with regular use my acne stopped and I am happy to say that the blemish marks have reduced so well. I would not say it has gone 100% but 80% of the marks are gone now and am using this for a month. Girls if you have so much dry skin the moisturizing level will be low and you should use a moisturizer after the wash. 

Pros : 

Makes your face so clean and fresh.
Removes Eyeliner easily 
Blemishes are reduced well
Stops Acne to an extent 
Reasonably priced

Cons : 

You may get pimples initially based on skin type.
For dry skinned beauties, following up with moisturizer is required.
Has Sodium Lauryl Sulphate :-(

Overall, I am in love with this fabindia teatree facewash and would defintely recommend it to all.

Rating : **** (One start gone for moisturizing effect)

Forest Essentials Facial Scrub Review ( Hand Pounded Organic Fruit)

Hey All !! Forest essentials brand brings authentic ayurvedic skin care and hair care products. I love to use Ayurveda Products because it does lots of good things to skin and does not have a single chemical as its ingredient. Forest essentials is one of my best ayurveda product from 2013. I love to read their ingredients. I ordered them online because in my city there is no forest essentials store. I use face wash, night cream, moisturizer from forest essentials. Among them I loved their face wash a lot and lot. I wanted to get a good scrub and I was browsing through their site and found this hand pounded organic fruit facial scrub. I read about its ingredients and wanted to purchase it. I got this directly from their store when I was in a vacation to chennai, India.

What Forest Essentials claims about their product :

Price : 1450 INR / 50.27 $ 
Quantity : 50gms

Ingredients : 

My Take on the product :

This hand pounded organic fruit scrub is thicker and dark brown in color. A very little amount is enough for a good scrub. You can see a tiny seeds kind of scrubbers in this and they act as exfoliator. The smell of this scrub is kind of a deep fruity flavor like the fruit pulp. Even Without using water it spreads well and the when you do a massage with this scrub you can feel the seeds helping you to scrub well. I massaged for five minutes and then applied water and again massaged for two more minutes.
No irritation on skin or discomfort on using this. After washing off from my face I felt my skin super soft and it brightened my face. It actually moisturized the face well. Before rinsing I did a very light and gentle massage around eyes because area around our eyes are so soft. There won't be any foam when you rinse as there are no chemicals. Your washbasin may turn brown in color while rinsing due to the color of the scrub lolz.. Do not apply it on your lips while scrubbing because I felt a heat sensation on my lips after rinsing it off for a minute.

The smell did not go for a while but it did not disturb me. They generally say scrubbing once a week is very necessary for our facial regime and this scrub satisfies the need. It cleanses away all the dirt from the skin and gives you a fresh look. Using this scrub weekly, I feel i do some good thing to my face by not using harsh chemicals. Your skin will feel a coolness after using this scrub. We can use this before applying makeup for any important occasion because it gives a glow. Overall the scrub did not do me any harm or bring any pimple as I have a sensitive skin I will be scared of using any product. This scrub can be used on any skin type.

Pros : 

• Brightens the skin well.
• Removes the dirt with first application itself
• Does not bring any irritation or pimple
• Makes the skin so soft and smooth

Cons :

•  Smell stays for a while after rinsing

F&B Rating : 4.2/5 (0.8 gone because of the smell)

I did not find any cons other than this for this scrub. Loving the scrub as a weekly regime. Hope you liked the review. What scrub you use ?? Share in the comments !!

Step 3 : Apply the loose powder with a brush all over your face and neck. Loose powder because its easy to dab on your face and sets up great on your BB cream. Use a brush to apply loose power. Take a little and just tap it on your wrist once before you apply so you don't take lot of powder.

Step 4 : Apply eyeliner and a lipstick. For lipstick during day wears you can use a neutral color and use a bold color during nights !!. If you need to concentrate much on your eyes add up with mascara and kajal. Coat on your upper lash lines will do a great job.

Things to do before you apply your makeup to show you fresh and brighter

Here are simple and best methods to follow before you apply makeup on your face.

• Cleansing the face is the first step. When you cleanse it make sure you don't make your face dry. Use a cleanser which leaves a moisturized look to your face. 
• Next use milk with cotton and wipe all your face for dry skinned beauties. For oily skinned beauties use rose water and wipe it on your face. 
• Use ice cubes in round circles all over your face and neck. Do not leave your neck because your face and neck should look in same color. Doing this step will make your makeup look fresh and glowing.
• Now if you have five more minutes use a good face pack. You can use face pack bought from shop or you can do it homemade. Few simple homemade packs are using fresh cucumber mixed with honey, fresh papaya with honey or you can just massage with cut bananas for 5 minutes. 
• Now your face is ready for the makeup. Rub and warm your hands and slightly press it on your face and neck to set it for makeup. You can do the same after you apply your foundation.
• You can also spray rose water after you apply your foundation to make it stay and give a glow. Do not over spray it a little will do. 
• When you apply foundation concentrate on areas like sides of your nose, sides of your lips and below the lower lip. Those are the areas which is bit darker. 
• If you are going to attend any function or party and you decide to do a facial, do it 2 to 3 days before the party because any kind of facial will take two full days to show its effect. And if you do it today and tomorrow is the party, your face either looks dark or dull. So make sure you plan well.

Magic of Mashed Cucumber around your eyes with pictures

Hello let's see today a real time example of how cucumber helped me to improve my dark circles and look of the eyes with my first application !!

We do different eye makeup's with different shades on our eyes everyday. Though we remove the eye makeup with care our eyes have dark circles, wrinkles and it seems to look stressed out at times due to our busy life. 

I tried this cucumber pack which you don't need to buy outside. You just want only one small cucumber to fade away your dark circles and wrinkles. You should use this continuously at-least weekly once or twice to see better results. This pack not only improves your look of eyes but also relaxes and makes your eyes feel really cool. 

How to Prepare :

• Choose a fresh cucumber and peel off the skin. 
• Cut it and nicely mash it well in a blender. Do not add water to it as cucumber itself has water content in it.
• You can apply yourself or you can get help from your husband, mom or dad :-)
• Close both your eyes and apply the pack. Try to have your eyes closed when you apply.
• Wait for 15 minutes. During this time you will feel your eyes relaxed and calm.
• After 15 minutes wash it off by giving a nice massage around your eyes.
• Wipe it with a towel. 

Picture shows what happened with my eyes before and after applying the pack :

And now go to the mirror and check how cool your eyes look. With one application you may see a good difference but have this as a weekly regime and do it so your eyes looks fresh with no dark circles and no wrinkles.
