Within Glowing Skin Gummies Review

Growing up, most of us have secretly prayed for a pill to get glowing skin, haven’t we? (Don’t get me wrong, I am just talking hypothetically here). Having tried the Glowing skin gummies by Within Nutrition, I felt that my prayers have been answered. I have seen people raving about multivitamin gummies for skin or hair but I never paid heed to those. When I was approached by Within Nutrition to try their glowing skin gummies, I was both sceptical and interested to try them for the first time. Today, in this post, I will share my experience with you.

About Within Nutrition-

Within Glowing Skin Gummies Review | Cherry On Top

Packaging-

Although I was familiar with the concept of gummy nutrition, I did not have any experience with any. So, I did not know what exactly to expect and how long it might take for the results to show up. All I knew was I have to take 2 gummies daily for 21 days as the number of gummies in one pack is 42. 

These gummies come in a plastic-free jar and that consists 42 gummies in toffee-like packaging. What I liked the most is that each gum is individually packed so if you are out for a day, you don’t need to carry the whole jar. You can carry as many as you want to.

Ingredients- 

The one thing that made me interested to try their product is this wonderful ingredient list. I am writing all of them down with their benefits-

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in our skin that retains water and helps keep it hydrated. It instantly reduces fine lines and makes the skin look dewy.

Sea Buckthorn

Sea Buckthorn improves the overall skin health, promotes skin hydration, increases collagen level to boost skin elasticity and firmness and fight inflammation and acne breakouts.

Zinc

Zinc fights acne and prevents any future breakout. It also works as a great antioxidant.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a great source of antioxidants with the power to combat free radicals that cause damage to the skin cells. It naturally helps in the skin regeneration process. It helps lighten hyperpigmentation or any dark spots. Vitamin C evens out skin tone, boosts radiance and gives your skin an overall brightened look with regular use.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E fight against any damage occurred to your skin cells due to pollution or UV rays. Also, prevents the signs of ageing. 

Vitamin A

Vitamin A tightens the skin naturally. It helps to hydrate the skin- giving it a naturally radiant and glowy look.

Benefits-

  • Fights Pollution & Prevent Acne
  • Hydrates & Maintains Glow
  • Reduces Blemishes

My Experience with Within Glowing Skin gummies

To be very honest, when I started with these gummies, I wasn’t really sure if this is actually going to be beneficial for me. Yes, I was sceptical. On the initial days, I did not find any significant change in the appearance on my skin. Honestly, it felt a little disappointing. But, I am so glad I did not give up on those. I kept having two gummies a day for about 15 days without missing. That is when the actual difference showed up and it was worth the wait. 

I started to notice a subtle glow on my cheek area and other high points of my face. Now that I am writing this, I realise, the glow started to occur in the starting days itself but it was so subtle that it was not perceivable enough. Anyway, I continued to have two gummies a day and that made the results to show through even better. So far, I have noticed a really nice radiant glow on my skin but I did not see any reduction of the sunspots or the pimple marks that I have on my skin.

Packed with multiple nutrients, these gummies are not only great to have glowing skin, but it’s also beneficial for your overall health.  They have a very mild yet distinct berry flavour and a delectable citrusy taste. These gummies are actually very succulent and yummy. 

The great thing about Within Glowing Skin Gummies is that they are free from any preservatives, all-natural and fssai approved which make them completely safe to consume. 

So, this was my review of the Within Glowing Skin Gummies. It worked for me hence I recommend this to all of you. I want you all to read this review thoroughly to decide whether or not you would like to invest in this product.

Alternative Income Streams: Read This If You Want to Become a Beauty Product Tester in 2020

Alternative Income Streams: Read This If You Want to Become a Beauty Product Tester in 2020

There are many unique ways to make an alternative income these days. Whether it is working for a food delivery service, taking surveys online, or getting into beauty product testing, there are countless ways to make an extra income. Today, we are going to focus on why becoming a beauty product tester is a brilliant idea in 2020.

What Is a Beauty Product Tester?

The first thing you are likely wondering is what exactly is a beauty product tester and why do brands need one? Companies are paying consumers to try out their new and unreleased products to get a good idea of how well that product is going to sell once it is on the market. Before they put forth all of the time, money, and effort required to get these beauty products in stores, the companies need someone like you or someone from a beauty product testing company to try the product out and give a review, so they can work out all of the kinks before it hits store shelves.

How to Become a Product Tester

Alternative Income Streams: Read This If You Want to Become a Beauty Product Tester in 2020

To become a beauty product tester, the first step is to sign up with a market research firm that allows people to test products at home. A screening test will then be sent to determine who qualifies for certain product testing. An example is those who do not use certain types of cosmetic products will likely not qualify to test those products. Once the tester is approved, they are sent a product to try within a few weeks. All that needs to be done is to follow the directions on the product, test it out, and give an honest and in-depth review based on the experience. This article from Apple Rubber says product testing is the best way to catch defects or issues early on in the process.

Getting Paid

According to Forbes, no product is going to be successful if it does not provide some type of benefit or use to the user. This is why companies are taking advantage of the idea of product testing. It is 100 per cent possible to bring in a steady flowing side income by testing beauty products for different brands. Not only is it easy to do, but the tester also typically gets to keep the rest of the product and also gets paid for trying it out. It’s a win-win. As far as payment goes, there is a pretty big range depending on the company offering the testing and the type of product. Testers can be paid anywhere from $3 to $500 for one product. That is not bad money for the little effort it takes to try the item out and give honest feedback.

One key thing to keep in mind is that just like in any job opportunity online, there are a lot of people out there who just want to scam people and take their money. People should never pay a company to test a product. If the brand is asking for money in any way, it is most likely a scam. The tester is the one who should be receiving payment for doing the work and giving feedback.

There are many benefits to becoming a beauty product tester. Testing is easy and free, it is a simple way to earn some extra cash, and it is a great way to guarantee these company’s produce quality products in the future. Those who are looking for alternative income streams this year should try out this opportunity.

Dot & Key Hand cream and Sanitizer- Lavender Review | Cherry On Top

Dot & Key Hand cream and Sanitizer- Lavender Review

Ever since the Covid-19 situation has hit us hard, I believe there are more consumers of hand creams than ever in this country. Washing your hands with soap and water repeatedly and moreover, excessive use of alcohol-based products are definitely as harmful to the skin as they are good for our overall health. So, a hand cream has become a must in your daily lives. It must have taken a permanent position in most of our nightstands. Hand creams are undoubtedly the best you can do to pamper your hands but, what if I tell you about a product that not only moisturizes your hands but also fights germs and works as a sanitizer? I am talking about the Dot & Key Hand cream and Sanitizer. Today, I will be reviewing their Lavender variant.

Dot & Key Lavender Hand cream and Sanitizer is a great moisturizer for dry hands that also soothes and kills 99.9% germs with its unique alcohol-free formula. 

Before starting with the review, let me share some information on sanitizers especially keeping the Novel Coronavirus in mind which will be helpful for you to understand the efficacy of this product. Since most of you might be here to know whether or not this hand cream/ sanitizer will effectively fight coronavirus or not, please read this part carefully.

Can Alcohol-free Hand Sanitizers kill Coronavirus?

By now, all of us know a sanitizer containing 60% or more alcohol content works best to kill the Novel Coronavirus but does an alcohol-free sanitizer do the job? Well, alcohol-free sanitizers contain a special ingredient called benzalkonium chloride which is a quaternary ammonium compound and it is a conventional antimicrobial commonly used in ophthalmic preparations such as eye drops and lens solutions as a preservative. It is also used as antiseptic and disinfectant in a higher concentrated form. Benzalkonium Chloride is a detergent that denatures proteins and causes lysis of cytoplasmic membranes and is, therefore, a potent broad-spectrum antiseptic. Which pretty much sums up that it has the ability to kill Coronavirus but definitely not as effective as a soap or isopropyl alcohol, ethanol or n-propanol.

Dot & Key Hand cream and Sanitizer- Lavender Review | Cherry On Top

Price- ₹ 395/- for 50ml

Buy Here- Nykaa, Amazon, Dot & Key website

Packaging-

Dot & Key Hand cream comes in a cute plastic tube and a black screw-on cap pretty similar to L’Occitane or Boroline tubes. The colour of the tube is correspondent to the fragrance or variant. For example, the Lavender variant comes in a soft lavender-coloured tube. 

All the information including the MRP, Mfg date, batch number and the complete ingredients list is mentioned on the tube itself. The tube comes in a cardboard packaging that is completely pastic-free.

Description-

If you’ve ever sanitized your hands and cringed at how dry they become, you’re not alone. The good thing is, they’ll never feel that way again – not with Dot & Key Hand Cream doing double duty as hand sanitizer and moisturizer. Its active ingredients kill 99.9% germs, and its alcohol-free sanitizer formula ensures your hands don’t dry out in the process. Even better, the jojoba and shea actives it contains intensely nourish your hands so they feel soft and supple.
Infused with calming lavender and zesty peppermint essential oils, it leaves behind a delicately pleasing fragrance, even as it cleanses and hydrates. With its pocket-friendly size, it’s the perfect go-to for pure, baby-soft hands on the go. All Dot & Key products are dermatologist tested and 100% skin safe, Cruelty-Free, Vegetarian Friendly and free of nasty chemicals like Parabens, Alcohol, PABA, Phthalates & Sulphates. We assure safe, gentle and effective skincare.

Key Ingredients:

Non-Alcohol Sanitizer Actives: Contains active antibacterial ingredients like benzethonium chloride which kill 99.9% germs, and its alcohol-free formula ensures your hands don’t dry out in the process.

Shea Butter: An excellent moisturizer, its fat content is responsible for its emollient and humectant properties. It locks in the moisture and keeps skin hydrated for long. Helps soften the skin on hands and feet too.

Texture-

This product has a lotion-like texture- not too thick, not too runny. This texture helps it get absorbed into the skin quite fast and effectively. It provides enough moisture to your hands than any other lotion would do.

Dot & Key Hand cream and Sanitizer Review

Dot & Key Hand cream and Sanitizer- Lavender Review | Cherry On Top

My experience with Dot & Key Hand cream and Sanitizer- Lavender & Peppermint has been great. I use it as a hand cream as it gives intense hydration to dry hands. Also, the light texture of this cream allows you to penetrate deep into the skin, providing it with nourishment that it requires and at the same time, it does not feel sticky or oily. 

I am not quite sure if I would recommend you this as a hand sanitizer because this is a time we should not take any risks. If you are looking for a product solely for sanitizing your hands, you should go for something that has 60% or 70% alcohol in it because that will be most effective. However, the Dot & Key Hand cream and Sanitizer would be a good option for sanitizing your hands if you are at home and want to do your makeup or skincare with sanitized hands.

Although I love the formula so much and considering the fact that you require a very little amount of product for both your hands, I still feel it is quite expensive for a 50ml tube. 

What is your favourite hand cream at the moment?

25 Quarantine Blog Post Ideas to Overcome Creative Block | Cherry On Top
Blogging 101

25 Quarantine Blog Post Ideas to Overcome Creative Block

Hello, there! I am pretty sure you’ve landed on this blog post because you’ve been in a creative shutdown and now you are looking for some ideas and inspirations to successfully survive this quarantine phase through some fun writing that will engage your audience. Welcome! I have some cool quarantine blog post ideas to get your creative juices flowing again.

The whole CoVid-19 outbreak followed by the drawn-out lockdown period has definitely taken a toll on all of us, especially those that are in a creative field. Being creative and productive is way harder than it seems. One needs to be calm, at peace and mentally stable. Unfortunately, at least for me, it just had been the opposite since the past couple of months. My head is always full of scattered thoughts, most of which include death, destruction and uncertainty. My creative friends would agree that this is clearly not the ideal situation to keep oneself creative or productive. This resulted in writer’s blocks many a time which makes me believe there are many who might be feeling the same as me. 

25 Quarantine Blog Post Ideas to Overcome Creative Block | Cherry On Top
Pin it, folks!

You can jump straight into my list of blog post ideas OR you can continue reading to get a guide for coming up with unique blog post ideas when in a creative deprivation. As the purpose of this post is to share a list of ideas and not sharing ‘how-to’s, I will not be as descriptive in this part as I’d have love to. Maybe I’ll write a separate post on it if you like this type of content. Now, let’s start with the pointers.

How to Think of Blog Post Ideas | Cherry On Top Blog
Pin it, folks!
  1. Keep an eye on the trends: A trending topic not only will help you with tons of ideas around it to play with but also it will drive more traffic to your blog than usual. A win-win, right? You can use search engines, Google Keyword Planner tool or Google Trends to know which topics are trending right now and plan your content according to it.
  2.  Rummage through Pinterest: Believe me, Pinterest is a secret (not really!) chest of different ideas when it comes to creating content. On Pinterest, you get tons of fresh ideas every time you refresh your home page. They have different creators sharing bunches of unique content on various topics. You can take ideas from there and add your own magic to it. If you happen to be on Pinterest, don’t forget to check me out there! 
  3. Take Ideas from Blogosphere: If you are blogging for some time, you must have made blogger friends or have followed a bunch of bloggers that you look up to. If the answer is yes, I believe you are following their work via email or RSS or maybe you use Bloglovin (your girl is there too!) You can always see what others are doing and take some inspiration from there. Remember NOT to copy someone’s work. That’s shameful!
  4. Ask Your Audience: In this era of social media, why not take the help of it when needed? Ask what your audience want on your blog. Create Instagram stories with Question sticker or simply post on Facebook status. I’m sure you’ll get tons of ideas.

A Trip to Lansdowne

I have mastered the art of isolation, and mountains have always helped me externalize my emotions. The few friends that I am left with, they keep telling me that I rubbed off my personality from a mountain. I usually take that as a compliment. Mountains were my first love – the only constant that I have opened my heart to.

I have travelled to almost all the recognizable hill stations across the country. I used the word recognizable since the place that I am about to talk about is often overlooked, even though it is quite a convenient place. Lansdowne, unlike Manali, Shimla, or Rishikesh, deserves the same amount of attention and ardour – I think it does except it has managed to keep itself secluded from the mainstream at the height of 1700 meters.

Hike, Pray and Love

I think I had a brief moment of epiphany when I realized that corporate life was not meant for me. Not to romanticize, but Delhi is a sentient being, it speaks volumes to me. And, when you are a loner, you do get to observe these small details. So, I had to test this theory out and see if the travel life wants to choose me. Lansdowne seemed like a quaint place for me to know if I wanted to travel for the rest of my life.

Lansdowne can be reached by road – located in the Himalayas; the streets are only convenient routes. It is roughly a six hours drive from Rohtak, which is why I booked a convenient taxi service in Rohtak. Delhi to Rohtak takes about an hour and a half. Rohtak might seem like an inconvenient route for me, but I had to make the detour – there was some personal business that required my attention. (See, even in writing, my loner instincts won’t let me divulge details of my life)

Lansdowne – a slow respite

People often say that you aren’t to be left alone with your thoughts. But Lansdowne is for folks who’d love to be left alone with their thoughts. Don’t misplace it as an ideal tourist spot; it is neither commercialized nor urbanized. This place served as a recruitment ground for British forces to supply the workforce to the Garhwal rifles. So, I knew what I was getting myself into. Even though it is a place of respite, I had to make a travel itinerary. I wasn’t just going to sit around and brood.

 A bit of leftover colonial history

Lansdowne is a fading reminder of the colonial history left behind. Named after the then Viceroy Lord Lansdowne, its resonating silence is the most beautiful part.

Quitely Exploring Silence

Navigating silence is an art, so is silence. After a good night’s sleep, I woke up early to walk around the town.

I was suggested by a group of travellers that I visit old St. Mary’s church. The church stands erect like a goth queen, which harmonizes with the town’s residing tranquillity. I walked around the church and was able to catch a glimpse of the Himalayan mountain range. The peace here is addictive, almost makes you lethargic, normalizing your inner monologues. By the time I left St. Mary’s, I had enough monologues to add to a feature film. I did not feel like visiting the Bhulla Tal – not a massive fan of water bodies.

I started to retreat for the day, reaching the Mall Road late in the evening. I managed to get some snacks and some dinner. The city life seemed to have spoilt me; everything here closes down by 7:30.

Trekking at Kalagarh Wildlife Sanctuary

I decided to go for a small trek since what’s the point in just loitering around. Before I went for the trek, I decided to make a stop at Tip n Top to view the majesty of snow-clad Himalayas. Don’t worry, Himalaya is the kind of cameo that will keep appearing throughout the journey.

Kalagarh Wildlife Sanctuary is a part of the Corbett landscape and a natural haven for wildlife of Lansdowne. Although it seemed a bit far away from Lansdowne, I did not mind this subset of a trip to Kalagarh.

The theory of a choice

After Kalagarh, I planned for my return to Delhi. I think I am ready to travel. And, this trip helped me realize that. This perhaps is my calling – not being a white-collar corporate slave.

Note: If you want a smoother travel experience, try booking a cab from Delhi to Lansdowne. It will recommend the following route – Delhi – Ghaziabad – Modinagar – Meerut – Khatauli – Mirapur – Bijnor – Najibabad – Kotdwar – Lansdowne.

That’s it for today’s post. I hope you found this article helpful. Make sure to share it with your friends and family if you did. Your comments encourage me a lot.

Happenstance- When Comfort Meets Style

They say, “Give a girl the right shoes and she’ll conquer the world”. I am pretty sure what they mean by ‘right shoes’ is shoes that are comfortable. As a blogger, I always feel the need to be in the perfect pair of shoes that will look stylish but won’t give me blisters and shoe bites. I have been to events wearing a stylish, classy pair of stilettos only to come back home with a wounded pair of feet that would ache through the week. I feel I would be the happiest wearing my slippers wherever I go but that can’t happen, right? That is why I am always looking for shoes that are comfortable, not irritating, and shoes that I don’t feel like removing after an hour. They also need to be stylish so that I can pair them with anything stylish. Happenstance has got my back!

Key Features of Happenstance footwear

Now, let me focus on the key features of this footwear that I have seen from my experiences.

Comfort within Budget-

It’s not always easy to find a perfectly comfortable pair of footwear within budget but now you won’t have to worry about that. Happenstance has an array of shoes that are comfortable like any high-end brand and at the same time they don’t burn a hole in your pocket, unlike others. The price range is from 999 to 1299 which is such a steal deal for me considering the material and features they have to offer.

Check out their website here.

Huge Variety of Stylish Footwear to Men & Women-

If you assumed that the fact that Happenstance focuses on comfort and affordability compromised on the variety and looks of the product then you are certainly under a wrong impression. Happenstance has a huge variety of footwear for both men and women that are scientifically made for comfort yet they have kept an eye on the looks so that they can cater to modern-day necessities as well.

They have three different styles of footwear for women- Sandals, Shoes and Ballet Flats and for men, they have only one category as of now and that is Sandals.

Happenstance- When Comfort Meets Style | Cherry On Top Blog | Happenstance Footwear |

Suitable for Both Indian & Western Wear-

We often get confused when we have to pair one particular footwear with our western and Indian outfits but the ones from Happenstance are fitting for both. You can mix and match them with any ethnic or fusion outfit and it will give it a smart and trendy look without making it too obvious. You can refer to the styling I have done with the brick coloured Ballet flats.

The Science behind Happenstance Shoes-

Image Source- Happenstance Website

Happenstance shoes are meticulously made for right fit and comfort. All their shoes are mainly built with comfortable footbeds or insoles which are soft enough to absorb shock on impact and sturdy yet bouncy midsole and outsole that is firm enough to spring back with each step for enhanced responsiveness. The soles of the footwear are airy light that results in great cushioning, flexibility and fit.

The knitted covers of the shoes and ballet flats are specially designed for breathability and grip for ultimate comfort. The material makes for a super stretchy fabric that hugs your feet for a perfect fit. The snugness of the knit top works like a second skin for your feet and gives you maximum flexibility.

GRACE- stylish black strappy sandals

I would also want to talk about the quality of the materials here. The Velcro used in the GRACE sandals that I have is of great quality. It keeps my feet in place and stays put regardless of the intensity of activities. The straps are also very sturdy and ensure great fit and comfort. The soft straps with velvety finish give it a stylish look.

The textured insole gives a proper grip to your feet and also ensures long-wear without making the feet uncomfortable or tired.

BLOOM- classy brick red ballet flats

The second pair, BLOOM, is great for both ethnic and western outfits. You can mix and match with anything I want. The colour is a classy red which can be a statement in itself. The multi-layered

sole ensures maximum flexibility and support. Talking about flexibility, I would like to tell you that this shoe is so flexible that it can be folded in half so easily.

Final Words

Overall, I want to say that Happenstance is a brand that I can now trust blindfolded. The comfort, the style and flexibility of the shoes are unmatched and cannot be found in ordinary brands. The product they offer within such a price is unbelievable. Their footwear is great if you are looking for effortless styling. It is a must-have for all of us who are looking for daily wear stylish shoes. I highly recommend them.

How To Use Accent Colour for your Prom Look

Ask any woman in her early twenties about the most memorable times of her life, and her prom experience will be close to, if not, at the very top. This milestone is a time for celebration, as you finish 12 years of formal education, while also saying goodbye to some dear friends, at least for a while. Therefore, it is important to get your outfit right, and with that in mind, here are some tips on using an accent colour for your prom dress.

Making the Best Use of Accessories

There are many ways to add some contrasting colour to your prom dress; hair, make-up, jewellery and even a bag or a belt can provide that stylish splash of colour to enhance your look. If you are going with a date, this has a bearing on how you accessorise, as he could certainly have a matching shade to give you a balanced look, so in one way, your date can be viewed as an accent colour opportunity. 

Jewellery

Of course, your jewellery can accent your look perfectly, with anything from pink diamonds to the glowing green of emeralds, but be subtle with it, as the prom is a formal event. Amber goes great with darker skin tones, while pink is a sure-fire winner with almost any colour.

Contrasts to Consider

  • Black and Red
  • Purple and Yellow
  • Green and Violet
  • Turquoise and Black

Choosing your Prom Dress Colour

Of course, the biggest consideration when looking at colours is your skin tone, as this will be the main surface area to contrast with the gown. Skin colour is labelled with ivory, light, medium and dark. The undertone of the skin refers to the colour under the surface, which might be the same as the skin colour, or it might be slightly different, as skin undertones are in the following categories:

  • Cool – Pink, blue or reddish
  • Warm – Yellow, peach coloured or golden
  • Neutral – A mixture of cool and warm

You could opt for one of the stunning purple prom dresses at Peaches Boutique, who happen to be a leading online designer dress boutique. Indeed, buying from an online boutique will certainly save you some money, and make sure to order with enough time for your local seamstress to make a few tweaks.

 

Complementing the Skin Tone

You should consider bold colours if you have a darker skin tone, with bold and bright colours like turquoise or emerald green. If you have a light or fair type skin, think about pastel colours, which blend well.

One thing you should do is some trial and error sessions, when you can mix up your accessories with a view to finding the best accenting colours and asking a good friend for her opinion is always a good move. Never overdo anything with your prom look, as it is a formal occasion. You do want to look your very best for what should be a memorable experience.

Lashika- No Harm Skincare Brand Explained | Cherry On Top

Lashika- No Harm Skincare Brand Explained

With emerging awareness and growing interest in natural, chemical-free skincare products, people are more likely to read through the ingredients and research more before buying or using a skincare product. Earlier, it used to be based on endorsements, advertisements and the face of the brand. But, I am glad that it is finally happening. Today, I will talk about a brand that claims to bring you NO HARM SKINCARE and that is Lashika.

Lashika is a skincare brand, created in Canada and then brought to the Indian subcontinent. They chose Canada to create their products because “Canada is ranked 4th in research and quality Worldwide” (2012 survey). Their main objective was to give people a simplified skincare regime that can work perfectly on every skin throughout the year. In their own words,

“Our “No Harm” Skincare range provides protection to your skin all year round across all climatic conditions.”

What Makes Lashika A No Harm Skincare Brand?

Time has changed and people have become more conscious while choosing sustainable skincare products. Customers are not just happy with chemical-free products, they want more. That’s why Lashika has come up with the NO HARM SKINCARE range that targets that extra something. Theirs is a Pure, Natural, Heavy Metal Free, Dermatologically Tested, No Harm Skin Care range!

There are several factors that make Lashika a #NoHarmSkincare brand. Following are the factors-

Paraben-Free:

Parabens are one of the most common and one of the most dangerous preservatives used in the cosmetic world. Studies have shown, parabens cause so many health hazards and can lead to cancer as well. Lashika made sure to exclude paraben from their ingredients list making them safe for the skin.

Not tested on Animals:

Lashika understands that to become a truly no harm skincare brand, they have to consider the sufferings of animals as well as their customers. “To keep our conscience (and yours too) guilt-free, we have chosen not to test our products on animals.”

No Mineral Oils:

Mineral oils are odourless and colourless oil which generates from petroleum as a by-product. Most skincare brands use mineral oils in their products as it is lightweight and inexpensive. Lashika is not one of them. Mineral oils are harmful in so many ways. One of them is that they clog your pores causing major breakouts.

100% Natural Ingredients:

The ingredients that Lashika no harm skincare products contain are 100% natural. “To ensure the validity of our demands, we diligently test each product and then bring it to you. Our dermatologically tested products work well and make your skin healthy from within.”

Customer Demand:

“As people have started to understand the threat of harmful chemicals, they are leaning towards natural products. Indeed, most natural ingredients are less harmful than unnatural ones. Being a #noharmskincare brand, Lashika understands your fears. That is why we have used time-honoured natural elements that have been used to alleviate skin conditions for years.”

Nature-Friendly:

Since the products are all free from harsh and hazardous chemicals, they do less harm to the environments as compared to the ones that contain these type of chemicals.

A Simplified Skincare Regime using Lashika products

Now that we have learnt a lot about the #NoHarmSkincare range, I want to talk you through a very simple but essential skincare regime using their products. So, let’s start-

  1. Apple Cider Face Wash (₹325)-Lashika Apple Cider Face Wash | Cherry On Top
    Enriched in the goodness of apple cider vinegar, this face wash has an excellent anti-bacterial property that restores skin’s pH level, controls excess secretion of sebum and gives your skin a cleansed, refreshed look by removing dead cells.
  2. Almond and Walnut Scrub (₹445)-

Scrubbing your face at least twice a week is very important. It helps you get rid of the dead cells, open up the pores and basically makes your skin breath. This scrub is rich in almond, walnut, vitamin E and shea butter which, in combination, reduces dark spots and uneven skin tone, hydrates skin, prevents signs of ageing and restores skin elasticity.

  1. Lumiara- Saffron and Vit E Moisturizer (₹345 for 100ml)-
