Winter is here and that for me marks the beginning of officially going for a body moisturizer hunting. It now has been an annual ritual for me to try and test different body products. Although my facial skin is combination to oily, my body skin is dry. My body feels stretchy and dehydrated all year long. In winters, it just goes out of control. So, I am always on a hunt of a moisturizer that hydrates my skin and at the same time doesn’t feel heavy or sticky. Over the past few years, I have started loving body butters more than body lotions during winters. Today, in this post, I will review a body butter that I have picked up for this year- Deyga Rose and Geranium Body Butter.

Deyga Rose and Geranium Body Butter | Cherry On Top

Ingredients-

Organic unrefined shea butter, Raw mango butter, Extra virgin coconut oil, Sweet almond oil, Rose essential oil, Geranium essential oil, Jojoba oil.

Packaging-

Deyga Rose and Geranium Body Butter comes in a simple plastic tub with a plastic screw-on lid. It also comes with a separator inside which ensures no leakage or spillage is there. The jar is very sleek which makes it easier to travel with.

Texture & Smell-

The product is a pale peachy pink coloured body butter that has a very thick consistency. In winters, it becomes a little more concentrated as it has natural butter in it but it easily melts down with a  quick rub between the fingers. Once applied, it spreads evenly on to the skin and gets absorbed quickly into the skin. The texture is just like that of any butter but non-sticky. It has a faint rose smell that lingers for 2-3 hours. The fragrance is very mild and doesn’t cause nausea or headache as some would do. I am very sensitive to smells but found this to be extremely subtle.

My Experience with Deyga Rose & Geranium Body Butter-

Although I easily gravitate towards body butters more than any other equivalents because of their thickness, my only concern with them is that they would make my skin greasy or feel heavy on the skin. To my surprise, the Rose and Geranium body butter by Deyga looked way thicker in the jar than it actually is. It feels like whipped butter when scooped out of the jar. Once you rub it between your fingers it becomes thinner and easy for application. It gets absorbed by the skin easily and quickly and leaves the skin hydrated for long. The rich texture makes the skin soft, supple and nourished. I am also very fond of the lingering scent of this body butter. After continuously using this product has left my skin softer than usual and it feels and looks nourished. Moreover, the natural ingredients ensure your skin gets enough nutrients without any harm.  I am so glad to find such a product for myself. This body butter is suitable for all skin types.

Summer is at its fullest and it’s reaching up to 40°C every other day here where I live. In this condition, there is no other way to survive than having a shower twice or thrice a day. Every time you have a shower, you need to make sure you smell good because summer makes you all sweaty and stinky. A nice fragrant bath can make you feel a lot fresher. So, choosing good shower products is very important now. Today, I’ll be talking about two of my favourite products for a perfect summer shower routine from the brand SkinellaSkinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash and Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub.

My Summer Shower Routine

My summer shower routine includes only two steps- washing my body and scrubbing my body. I wash my hair thrice a week so that doesn’t include in the everyday shower routine. Thrice a week, I also use an intimate wash. Currently, I am loving the Everteen Intimate Hygiene Wash (read the review). Coming back to the two bath products, I use the Mandarin Gel Body Wah for squeaky clean my body and then the Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub to get rid of the dead cells.

I love using shower gels during summer. Shower gels are more fragrant than soaps and the fragrance lingers for quite some time. Also, shower gels are more hydrating in comparison to soaps. Because you cannot put oil or heavy creams on your body post-shower, it is clever to use a moisturizing body wash in the first place. You can then hydrate your body with a light lotion if you feel the need.

Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash has an exotic mandarin fragrance which freshens you up and makes your shower time pleasant. The citrusy smell is apt for summertime.

As I can already make out, the body wash comes in a gel form, a little product goes a long way. This product is suitable for all skin types. My body is dry most of the time and this product doesn’t dry it out and provides long-lasting hydration because of the essential oils in it.

No matter what the season is, I love scrubbing my body. It doesn’t only help me get rid of the dead cells but also makes me feel a lot fresher and my skin feels supple and smooth.  Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub is one of my favourite body exfoliators because it has very finely milled scrubbing particles that they claim to be real oink guava. It works very gently yet effectively on my skin. I hate scrubs that feel like wet sand on the body. I don’t like exfoliating my body so much that it feels like ripping my skin off of my body. A mild scrub with tender particles works best for me.

I am quite disappointed with the fragrance. It sounds like an exotic aroma but in reality, it doesn’t. The smell is so faint that it almost smells like nothing.

This scrub doesn’t dry out your skin. You don’t feel the urge to apply body lotion right after the shower. This is hydrating to some extent.

Where to Buy Skinella Products-

Skinella products are exclusively available on Amazon.in. They are available in singles and also in kits and combos.

What I love about the brand Skinella, is that they provide the best results within budget. You don’t get to try different exotic variants in such a little price.  Everyone can try their products from professionals to college students. Their products are 100% safe to use. I’ve also got three more products from their face care range. Feel free to let me know if you want me to review them as well.

If you are familiar with my preferences then you must have understood by now that I have a predilection for products that are made with all natural ingredients to use on my skin. Time and again, I have expressed my love for natural skincare products and I have also reviewed some of them. Recently (okay, it’s been over a month :/), I received a couple of products from Junaili which is a Nainital based skincare brand. Today, I am going to review those two products which are their Apricot Body Scrub and Oil.

Junaili, as I said is a Nainital based oil-pressery that uses 100% natural ingredients for their products. Their Apricot Body Scrubs and Oils are made of the finest apricots found in the Kumaon Himalayas. The products are totally safe for your body, they do not contain any chemicals, parabens and artificial fragrance. Their products are made in small batches to preserve quality. Now that we know about the brand, let’s jump into the review.

Junaili Apricot Body Scrub

Junaili Apricot Body Scrub| Cherry On Top

Price- 250INR for 125g

Packaging- The Junaili Apricot Scrub comes in a plastic jar packaging with a metallic (most probably, aluminium), golden screw lid. The jar is sturdy and the lid closes tightly, striking out any chance of spillage. Here is a little trivia about their labels, their labels are hand-written and then photographed and enhanced in photoshop. How cool is that!

My Experience- As I already have said, I have been using their products continuously ever since I receive them, that is for over a month now. I use this scrub every alternate day to exfoliate my body. I use this especially for my hands and legs because those are the areas that are mostly exposed and I need exfoliate them religiously to get a smooth skin. The scrub comes in a powder form. To make the scrub ready to apply, I take out about a tablespoon of product and mix it with plain water. You can definitely use rose water or milk according to your preferences. I use plain water because I am very lazy. I hop into the shower, take some product onto my palm, mix it with tap water and apply gently, in circular motions to my damp body.Ever since I have started using this product, my whole shower experience has changed. My skin feels soft and supple after every use. My hands and legs are really dry and this scrub doesn’t make them even drier.

Ever since I have started using this product, my whole shower experience has changed. My skin feels soft and supple after every use. My hands and legs are really dry and this scrub doesn’t make them even drier. The finely milled scrub particles are not too harsh, not too mild for the skin. They have the right amount of coarseness to them so that they don’t irritate the skin.

Junaili Apricot Body Oil

Junaili Apricot Body Oil| Cherry On Top

Price- 600INR for 240ml, 350INR for 120ml

Packaging- The packaging of this body oil is quite similar to the scrub except for that it comes in a plastic bottle and has a stopper inside the metallic screw lid. You have to open the outer lid first and then remove the stopper to take out the product. I have made a few tiny holes on the stopper which ensures that it dispenses the product in droplets. Again, this is a spillproof packaging. Being plastic packaging, these are easy to travel with.

Junaili Apricot Body Oil (2)

My Experience- Although I have a very dry body skin, I am not a lover of oils. Psychologically, the thought of letting my body come in contact with any kind of oil makes me feel disgusted. But, when I received the Apricot Body Oil by Junaili, I though to of giving it a tr only because of its ingredient. I have been using this oil daily after shower and I love how it works for me. I am glad that I tried this oil out. I like to use it after the shower, after towel drying my skin when it’s still damp. Applying it on a damp skin ensures it gets absorbed by the skin completely and also in this way it doesn’t make the skin too oily.

A regular use of this oil has made my skin softer and more smooth, especially in this time of the year when my skin needed something more. This oil has a long lasting effect on my body. It hydrates my skin for the entire day till the night which is a great thing!

Junaili Apricot Body Care Range Review| Cherry On Top

Overall, I loved both the products. Using both of them together regularly has worked really well for me. I can sure see the glow it has added to my skin and also my skin feels a less dry these days. I am really happy with Junaili’s products. I like their oil more than their scrub and I might be buying another bottle for the winter. Their body oil is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, they are full of anti-aging properties and are claimed to have the power of diminishing wrinkles. They are safe for children. They have also introduced a new product which is a facial oil which I am planning to give a go. You can check out and buy their products at their merchant website. I’ll be back again with a new post very soon. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!
