VLCC Coffee Sugar De-tan Exfoliating Scrub & Rejuvenating Arabica Coffee Peel-off Mask review

No Comments

Winter is now gone and summer has already in its full glory. It is the time when you should take extra care of your skin and body. You all know how particular I am with my skincare routine. It has grown for the best with each passing day. From carefully choosing the right product and researching every ingredient that goes into the skin, I am extremely serious about it. The problem I face the most in this transitional time is dry and lifeless along with some tanning on my forehead. Coffee is one of my favourite ingredients that work wonders for these problems. It might not be the greatest of beverages but it certainly does take care of many of the skin concerns that we usually have like tanning, dryness, and skin-ageing. Recently, I have included VLCC Coffee Sugar De-tan Exfoliating Scrub & Rejuvenating Arabica Coffee Peel-off Mask to my pamper skincare routine and they have so far been great for me.

I have been a fan of VLCC since I started using them when I was a teenager. I love how they choose their ingredients responsibly and delivers only natural, paraben-free products that are effective too.  The two products mentioned earlier have already become my favourites because of their efficacy and the ingredients that are natural and formulated for all skin types. Here is my detailed review of both.

VLCC Coffee Sugar De-tan Exfoliating Scrub

VLCC Coffee Sugar De-tan Exfoliating Scrub texture review

Coffee and sugar are two of my favourite ingredients for my scrubs. They are natural, effective and surprisingly gentle on the skin. Apart from being a great beverage, coffee is also known for its beauty benefits. The caffeine in coffee helps stimulate blood circulation which reduces puffiness or inflammation. It also works great to remove tanning, tighten and brighten the skin, improve skin texture, reducing wrinkles and signs of ageing.

Formulated with Arabica Coffee, Sugar Crystals & Himalayan Pink Salt, this product starts showing the results from its first use. It gently removes the dead cells from the surface and reveals the brighter looking skin lying underneath it instantly. It makes the skin smoother, brighter and softer. I easily get tanned on my forehead and my nose and the tan is the kind of patchy tan that we all hate. This scrub helps clear that out and evens out the complexion. If I have to rate it, I will give is a 9/10.

Price- ₹399 for 90g

Packaging- VLCC Coffee Sugar De-tan Exfoliating Scrub comes in a white plastic tube with a flip open cap. The packaging is extremely sturdy and convenient to travel with.

Ingredients: Glycerine, Sugar Crystal, Coffea Arabica powder, Himalayan Pink Salt, Silica, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Perfume, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Benzoate, Triethylene Glycol

Texture, consistency & Smell- This scrub has a dark brown gel-like texture that is quite runny.  It feels a little sticky but is not at all difficult to work on to the skin. The product contains fine sugar crystals and coffee particles. It has got a mood-lifting aroma of freshly ground premium coffee.

How to Use- Take a sufficient quantity of scrub and apply on cleansed face. Scrub gently in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

VLCC Rejuvenating Arabica Coffee Peel-off Mask

VLCC Rejuvenating Arabica Coffee Peel-off Mask review VLCC Rejuvenating Arabica Coffee Peel off mask texture review

I don’t know how many of you would agree with me that peel-off masks are so damn satisfying. Imagine you have an event planned after the office or after a busy day in the kitchen. What would you need to glam yourself up in the shortest period of time? Of course, a peel-off mask! They are quick, they are efficient and most importantly very very relaxing and satisfying. Among the array of various peel-off masks available in the market, you’ll hardly find anything with such potent and premium ingredients as the Rejuvenating Arabica Coffee Peel-off Mask by VLCC. I love using this during my pamper days or weekends or if for the shortest glam-up regime to attending a special event. It turns any day into a spa day and I love that.

This mask spreads evenly on to the skin and turns into a peel-off mask from a gel-like formula within 15-20 minutes. It is also very easy and very neat to remove. It peels away the dirt and impurities from the pores and evens out the skin tone while rejuvenating it. The difference it makes is quite noticeable. It instantly brightens up the skin tone by clearing away all the dead cells and tanning off of the surface of your skin.

Price- ₹399 for 90g

Packaging- Same as the De-tan Exfoliating Scrub

Ingredients- Aqua, Isopropyl Alcohol, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Glycerine, Coffea Arabica Powder, Phenoxyethanol, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Lactic Acid, Caffeine, Perfume, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Aloe Vera Extract, Triethylene Glycol

Texture, consistency & Smell- The peel-off mask is a light-brown, gel-like texture that spreads evenly onto the skin. Similar to the Coffee Sugar De-tan Exfoliating Scrub, this also smells exactly like coffee and that itself is very therapeutic.

How to Use- Wash face properly and pat dry with a soft towel. Apply Peel off mask evenly over your face avoiding eyebrows, eyes & lips (do not apply a very thin layer). Let it dry for 20-25 minutes. Peel Off from the forehead in a downward direction towards the chin & wash off. For best results, use at least once a week.

You are advised to do a patch test before using any of these.

Simple Tips That Would Help You to Achieve A Toned Bum

No Comments

Hi, guys! Hope you all are safe and doing great. I am back with another post and today it is all about reducing the extra kilos that most of us must have put due to the lack of opportunities to work out while a lot of us were working from home, sitting at one place for hours during the lockdown and unlock period. I have such a body type that even if I gain one kilo of weight, it is going to get added to either my waist or in my butt. To be very honest, a well-toned lower body, if not slimmer, is something I really like for myself. Today, I will share some tips that have helped me and I am sure would help you as well to shed those bulges from your lower body.

Weight gain is something that happens way before you start to realize it. Each woman has a different body type and body shape, but one thing in common with every woman out there. Women generally tend to gain more weight in their lower portion or back portion of the body compared to the upper portion. Once you start forming bulges in the mentioned areas, it is very difficult to reduce them. It takes months of strenuous exercises and following a healthy diet. Only then you can win the war against it.

The few things that I will be mentioning might sound cliched but if you strictly and religiously follow them, you will definitely start noticing the change. Here is the list of ways that you can consider if you are trying to lose weight from your buttocks.

WORKOUT:

Regular exercising irreplaceable when it comes to reducing lower body fat. It might take time, but this is the most effective and safest way of reducing those extra kilos. There are a bunch of effective exercises that are proven to work for losing weight while toning your body. You can do squats which are known to give you your dream booty, or you can try out various yogasanas (advised to do under professional guidance). Lunges, burpees, and side leg raise, and many others are really fruitful for achieving a firmer lower body.

BRISK WALK:

This is I think is the most underrated way of losing weight. People nowadays spend money on hi-tech machines or well-equipped gyms but nobody pays attention to the benefits of brisk walking. You don’t need a treadmill, nor do you need to go to a jogger’s park. At least 30 minutes of brisk walking on your terrace could help you burn that stubborn fat. Apart from losing weight, regular walking helps you with your appetite and fight many diseases as well.

HEALTHY EATING:

One of the most crucial things that directly impact your weight loss or gain is your food habit. Healthy eating is more important than eating less. You don’t need to skip your meals, rather keep eating in an interval of 3-4 hours. This will boost your metabolism and help you lose weight rather than fasting. You must stop eating junk and processed food. That not only increase your waistline but also affect your immunity. I am not saying you should eat only salads, just eat everything in the right quantity. Avoid sugar and fried food and include as many green veggies in your diet as possible. Calculate your calory intake as per your everyday diet and follow a routine of eating well and eating in time.

SOMETHING EXTRA:

Apart from the above pointers, there are also some ways that you can consider to get a firm and toned butt and thighs. Namyaa Brazilian Bum Cream is such a revolutionary product that helps you achieve a firm, well-toned and voluminous booty. This is a very effective cream that lifts and plumps your lower body with regular use and gives you smooth bum skin. With regular use, it improves the contours and curves of your bum which is a boon for flat butts. Formulated with the natural goodness of Chamomile, Nutmeg, Macadamia seed oil, etc., this exceptional booty lift cream is free from any kind of harsh metals, harmful chemicals, pesticides, synthetic fragrances, artificial colours, fertilizers, or any kind of harmful additives.

One more option that you can try out in case you hardly have the time to work out but look forward to having a great bum is the Namyaa Brazilian Bum Cream. This one helps you get a fuller, plumper bum that is smooth in texture. This Cream is very easy to use and effective at the same time. If you are wondering how to apply bum cream, here’s how to use it:

  • Take the required amount of the cream on your palms and apply it over your butts.
  • Gently massage the area for a couple of minutes till the cream gets completed absorbed. Allow it to dry for some time.
  • Repeat the process twice a day, once in the morning and once at night before going to bed for the maximum of benefits. For best results, use it twice a day daily for a span of at least 6 weeks.
  • The best part is Namyaa Bum cream contains caffeine that helps to cut down the cellulite naturally without any side-effects.

The product has a luxurious, rich look as it comes in a sleek white bottle and a silver cap. This is easily available on Flipkart or Amazon. It is originally priced at Rs. 1200/- but you can always get it on discounts online for Rs. 599/-. Just like the other Namyaa feminine care product that I have reviewed before, this one is also effective.

Packaging-

Chocolite scrub comes in a chocolatey brown plastic tube with a screw lid. The packaging is absolutely sturdy and there is no worry of spillage while travelling. The no-fuss packaging is very convenient and pleasing to the eyes.

Texture, Consistency & Aroma-

This scrub is quite thick in consistency. You have to rub it between your fingers to bring it to a thinner consistency so that it spreads evenly across the skin. It is full of micro exfoliants which are not abrasive at all. It smells like pure cocoa which feels very relaxing and therapeutic. This is the reason why I love using it on my pamper days.

My Experience with Ethicare Remedies Chocolite Scrub

It’s been one and a half months or more since I have been introduced to the Chocolite Face & Body Scrub and I have been a lover of this ever since. One of the main reasons is the smell of this product. It helps me relax after a hectic day or week. I like to incorporate this into my pamper night routine. This scrub is loaded with finely ground exfoliating beads that are very mild on the skin. It scours away all the dead-cells, dust and grime from the skin surface very efficiently and without irritating the skin layer. I dislike the scrubs that are too harsh on the skin rather I prefer those that are mild but gives me that powerful exfoliation experience. The Chocolite Scrub perfectly does that. This has made my skin look polished and glowing. It effectively and easily removes blackheads also which otherwise is quite a task. The antioxidants in it make sure your skin looks rejuvenated and youthful with regular use. It also removes tanning and makes the skin look brighter after a few uses.

This product is non-comedogenic that means it doesn’t contain any ingredients that can clog your pores. This makes this product safe for people with acne-prone skin. This texture and consistency of this product make it appropriate for using on the body as well. I prefer using it on my face after a thorough cleanse with an anti-acne face wash.

Deyga Rose and Geranium Body Butter Review

No Comments

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 & Geranium Body Butter

About the product-

From the house of a natural, organic, sustainable, handcrafted brand Deyga’s rose and geranium Body Butter is infused with the goodness of rose, which rejuvenates your skin with the heart notes of English Rose with the warm woody notes.

Brand Claims-

  • It helps to delay the process of ageing.
  • It moisturises the skin for long hours.
  • It helps to hydrate the skin.
  • It makes the skin soft and supple.
  • Pure, Paraben-free, Phthalate-free, SLS-free, Vegan

Price- ₹550 for 100g
Available on- Deyga.in

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.

HyaluGel- Hyaluronic Acid Gel Review

No Comments

Hello, everyone. Today, I am here to talk about another skincare gem that I have found about a month ago. Being a beauty blogger and a skincare enthusiast, I am always up for experimenting with different ingredients that help level up my skincare game. One of them is acids. Yes, you heard me right. I have recently included Hyaluronic Acid in my regime which unlike the AHAs and BHAs, doesn’t exfoliate your skin but helps with the hydration. I have been using Hyaluronic acid in the form of a moisturizer and that is our product in focus for today- HyaluGel.

Before starting off with the review, I must introduce Hyaluronic acid to all those who have little to no idea about this amazing component. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in our skin. It has the ability to retain moisture in the skin as much as a thousand times its weight. This powerful humectant works wonders for the skin, it provides and locks in the hydration, plumps the skin and helps reduce fine lines or any signs of ageing. Unfortunately, our ability to produce Hyaluronic Acid decreases as we get older. Then, we need supplements.

HyaluGel- Moisturizing Gel for Oily Skin

Price- ₹250 for 30g
Available on- eMegamart.com

Description-

  • Face Moisturiser For Oily & Acne Prone Skin.
  • It is the most suitable moisturizer and conditioner for oily and acne-prone skin.
  • It is good for sensitive skin also. It is a non-sticky, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, colour-free, and fragrance-free gel.
  • It enhances the result of cosmetic procedures.

Ingredients-

Hyaluronic acid in an aqueous gel base, Aqua, Glycerin, Hyaluronic acid Q.S, Carbomer Q.S, PreservativesQ.S

How to Use-

After cleansing your face and affected area, apply all over the face evenly, more on the affected areas. Let it dry. Should be used 2 – 3 times a day on the affected area regularly.

Packaging-

HyaluGel by Ethicare Remedies comes in a no-fuss white coloured plastic tube with a blue screw-on cap. It is a 30g pack and can easily be travelled with without worrying about any leakage or spillage.

HyaluGel- Hyaluronic Acid Gel Texture | HyaluGel- Hyaluronic Acid Gel Review | Cherry On Top Blog

Texture & Feel-

It is a gel formula but quite runny in consistency. It gets absorbed by the skin very quickly and gives a matte finish without leaving the skin dry. The feel of it is very close to that of a serum though very different in texture.

My Experience with HyaluGel-

HyaluGel- Hyaluronic Acid Gel Review | Cherry On Top Blog

I love this product for its exceptional formulation. As I mentioned earlier, it is a runny gel-like texture that works perfectly for oily skin people. It is completely non-oily and non-sticky that makes it appropriate for your pre-makeup skincare. It could very well act as a primer as it somewhat smoothes the skin out. HyaluGel gets absorbed by the skin quite fast and it leaves your skin matte yet hydrated for a long time. I haven’t experienced any breakouts or rashes after using this but it is hard to tell if it prevents acne.

From the price point, it may look a little expensive but 30g of this product lasts really long as a little goes a long way. A pea-size amount will be sufficient for the entire face. I have oily to combination skin and it worked like magic. My skin felt hydrated from inside and it kept the oiliness at bay for a decent amount of time. I’d highly recommend this moisturizer for summers.

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.

360° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ by Ethicare Remedies Review | Best Sunscreen for Oily Skin

No Comments

Hi, everyone! Today, I am back with another detailed review and today’s product in focus is 360° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ from the house of Ethicare Remedies. Honestly, I am someone who would always forget to put on sunscreen though I make every possible effort to remember. Let me know if you are the same! Anyhoo, I have always had a propensity of skipping my sunscreen and over the years I have realised it is because of the uncomfortable feeling all my sunscreens have given me.

Almost all the sunscreens have this tendency of making your skin a little greasy or sticky, some would work amazing but would feel heavy on the skin, some would work fine in the beginning but after some time it would turn oily. These are the things I have always faced with my sunscreens. Today, I will talk about a product that is totally different from all the sunscreens I had used in the past. Keep reading to know what makes it different from others.

360° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ by Ethicare Remedies

Price- ₹849 for 50g
Exclusively Available on- eMegamart.com 

Description-

360° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ is specially designed for 360° photoprotection. It protects from UVA, UVB, INFRA-RED RADIATION (IR), BLUE LIGHT & ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTANTS- the complete full light protection in one sunscreen.

Ingredients-

D.M. Water, Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, BlueShield, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Butylated Hydroxytoluene

How to use-

Apply generously and evenly on face and all exposed areas of the body 20-30 minutes before exposure to the sun. Massage into the skin very gently, until it gets absorbed completely.  Reapply after prolonged swimming or excessive sweating.

Packaging-

360° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ comes in a white plastic tube with a metallic screw-on cap. The tube is packaged in a similar white cardboard box.  The packaging is very sleek and sturdy, great to travel with. I love the clean packaging where you can get every information including manufacturing and expiry date on the tube. I feel its really convenient as you don’t need to always keep the outer packaging with you.

360° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ by Ethicare Remedies texture shot | Cherry On Top Blog

Texture & Feel-

Although it is described as a gel it is more of a mousse-like texture. It has a very silky soft formulation that feels really lightweight on the skin. It gets absorbed into the skin in seconds giving it a completely matte finish.

My Experience with 360° Block Sunscreen Gel

360° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ by Ethicare Remedies Review | The Best Sunscreen for Oily Skin | Cherry On Top Blog

It’s been more than a month since I have been using this product and I have been enjoying using it, to be honest. The extremely lightweight formula and silky texture have won my heart. As I mentioned my struggle with sunscreens earlier in this post, this product came as a blessing and it completely changed my skincare routine. Now, I never skip my sunscreen. It feels you have nothing on your face. It doesn’t make your face sweaty, unlike many sunscreens which makes it a great option for summers as well. If you have oily to combination skin like me then this is going to be your HG product.

This product gives you all-round protection from UVA, UVB, Infrared, Blue light and pollution which is great to have in a single product. This is also water-resistant so you don’t need to worry about it melting with sweat and you can also use it while swimming or when you are in the sea. This product is free from parabens and is dermatologically tested. It did not cause any breakout or allergic reactions on my face.

The company claims that the 360ׄ° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ acts as a shield against blue light and helps to fight against blue light-induced ageing and hyperpigmentation which I feel is true because every since I started using this, I haven’t got any sunspots that I usually get whenever my skin is exposed to direct sun. The brand also claims that the 360° Block Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ offers protection from harmful free radicals and helps to reduce the signs of ageing, the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, melanin polymerization, freckles and black spots. I haven’t seen any significant changes in my fine lines or dark spots.

Overall, my experience with this sunscreen has been amazing. Don’t forget to let me know your struggles with sunscreens and how you overcame them.

Deyga Rose and Mulethi Face Pack Review

No Comments

Face masks are such a stress buster. During the lockdown, I have inclined more and more towards them as they felt so calming and rejuvenating that it won’t be an exaggeration if I say they kind of acted as a respite from the crazy world. In the past seven months, I have tried many face masks amongst which a couple have become my ultimate favourites. One of them is the Deyga Rose and Mulethi Face Pack. I’ll discuss everything about it as elaborately as possible as I always do.

My Experience with Deyga Rose and Mulethi Face Pack-

Deyga Rose and Mulethi Face Pack Review | Cherry On Top Blog

I absolutely love rose as an ingredient in my skincare products. It took me a really long time to actually notice the benefits of rose on my skin. I would say it was somewhat an acquired liking but I am glad I fell in love with this powerful ingredient.

The first thing that attracted me towards the Deyga Rose and Mulethi face pack is its impressive ingredients list. This brand never fails to excite me. It’s been a month since I have been using it and it did not cause any breakout or skin irritation on me. I like to use this on days my skin needs some extra TLC and it beautifully does that. It provides me with a healthy glow, clears the skin and evens out the skin tone with regular use. It also makes your skin look youthful and the best thing is that it provides the skin with the perfect amount of moisture. This mask makes my skin baby soft which I absolutely love. You have to use it for at least two weeks to see the effectiveness. This is very normal with any natural skin care product. You can use it up to twice a week as it is completely natural and organic.

One should definitely check this product as well as the brand out for their eu natural ingredients and effectiveness. The ingredients they use are 100% organic, 100% Indian, handmade and cruelty-free. Also, this product is for all skin types. If you have sensitive skin, you must do a patch test beforehand.

Overall, this product is something you must give a try if you are fond of natural and organic skincare or you are planning to start your natural skincare journey. I absolutely love this product and the brand in total. You can check out their entire collection here. I must not compare, but I feel Deyga products could be the closest dupe of the Juicy Chemistry products that too in a decent price range.

Vasu Sugar Scrub Review

No Comments

You guys all know my undying love for scrubs. I also categorize them according to my preferences. Some I like on a daily basis, some on the days I pamper my skin and some for special occasions. Today, I am going to talk about the Vasu Sugar Scrub– a new face scrub that I recently came across. This scrub belongs to the last category I mentioned earlier. This particular product is a new addition to my skincare stash, however, the brand is not. I have previously used their Kumkumadi Thailam facial beauty oil. Will talk about it some other day. Today’s product in focus is the sugar scrub and I am already excited to know your views on this.

I know many of you have used sugar scrubs before but I want to know how many of you used them for your facial skin. I am wondering because I have always been sceptical about using any sugar-based exfoliants on my face as I always feared they might be too rough for the skin. I remember one such incident where I used a homemade sugar scrub on my face and I got dry patches on certain parts of the skin.  I have used them for my body many a time though. Had I not used the Vasu  Sugar Scrub, I might never overcome this fear. This is probably the mildest sugar scrub you’ll find in India, or maybe the only one. Believe me, I am not exaggerating.

Price-

Originally ₹750 but now at 50% off ₹375 (for 50g). Available on-
Amazon- https://amzn.to/3d387Fv
VasuStore: https://www.vasustore.com/vasu-kumkumadi-tailam-sugar-scrub-age-revitalizing

Ingredients-

The Vasu Sugar Scrub is full of some extraordinary ingredients that make it a unique formulation. They say it is enriched with the power of 22 herbs. The key ingredients are-

  • Natural Sugar & Black Sand– that effectively exfoliates dead cells, dirt, grime and sebum leaving the skin squeaky clean and also helps it breathe properly.
  • Kumkumadi Thailam– is a unique ayurvedic blend of herbs that not only provides you with a brighter looking skin but it is also a secret recipe for a radiant glow in the skin. Apart from these, it also has some great anti-septic, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Kumkumadi oil is the ancient anti-ageing secret for the skin.
  • Vitamin E– is a source of powerful antioxidants that fights free radicles and helps in reducing the signs of ageing. It also makes the skin brighter by fading out the blemishes to a great extent.

Packaging-

 

The packaging of this product is very basic, just the way I prefer. It comes in a transparent plastic jar with a screw lid. The transparency of the jar allows you to keep a check on how much product you’re left with. It also has a stopper lid inside that helps to make it secure enough for travelling. Although the plastic packaging is easier and safer to handle and to carry with you, I still wish if they can come up with a glass packaging. Overall I like it because it’s travel-friendly, doesn’t spill or leak.

Texture & Fragrance-

Vasu Kumkumadi Thailam Sugar Scrub Review | Cherry On Top

The texture of this is very unique, something I experienced for the first time in my life. It is a sand-like texture but you can feel the mildness of it once touched. The consistency is thick and sticky consistency but I spread effortlessly on the skin.  It is a light golden-brown colour with visible sugar granules and some black particles which I assumed must be the black sand.

The fragrance is a very soothing ayurvedic smell. As far as my nose could perceive, the product smelled mostly of saffron, sandal and a little bit of honey and I am quite convinced as the first two are generally present in Kumkumadi oils. Kumkuma- the main ingredient in Kumkumadi oil is saffron. These make the product quite aromatic and it is something that doesn’t bother you.

How to Use Vasu Sugar scrub-

  • Wet your face and neck,
  • Take a dollop of the scrub on to your palm and rub it between your palms to spread the product evenly before applying.
  • Gently massage your face with the product in circular motions focusing the nose, chin or any other problematic areas on your face.
  • Rinse your face thoroughly with cold water.

About 1-2 minutes of massage would be sufficient as you won’t want to over-exfoliate your skin. You must use this product on wet skin as the consistency is quite thick and it won’t spread on the skin evenly only to make it tough to massage properly. You are advised to use this scrub once or twice a week for better results.

My Experience with the Vasu Sugar Scrub

Vasu Kumkumadi Thailam Sugar Scrub Review | Cherry On Top

I have already told you my experience with sugar scrubs before Vasu Sugar Scrub came into my life. Now, I am going to share my experience after using this product for almost a month. First of all, I am in love with the texture of this. It is exactly how I like my exfoliators to be, loaded with scrubbing particles. If you and I have the same taste in scrubs, you’ll love this product to the core. It comes in a 50g jar but that lasts for long as a little goes a long way.

The sugar granules in it remove dead cells and impurities very effectively without being harsh on the skin. It’s very mild and gentle which is quite unusual for sugar scrubs. This product contains the goodness of Kumkumadi oil that is well-known for its magical properties that adds a youthful glow to the face and is a natural anti-ageing agent. Apart from these, the product is free from any toxins and harmful chemicals, it’s a completely plant-based product, cruelty-free and dermatologically tested.

I use it on the days my skin needs some TLC. I take some of it and apply gently on to my skin. It dissolves on the skin after massaging for a few seconds and turns into a runny form of exfoliant. After washing my face with water, my skin instantly feels clean and rejuvenated. It makes the skin brighter and comparatively tighter with regular use.

Reasons to love this scrub

  • Eliminates dirt, grime, and sebum
  • Provides intense moisturization
  • Gentle yet effective
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enriched with the power of 22 herbs
  • Made In India
  • 40 Year of Excellence & Available in 40+ Countries

I will highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good sugar scrub that doesn’t irritate the skin and at the same time provides intense moisturization.

Being a blogger, trying new products is a neverending journey. Even after 7 years of being a beauty blogger, I still get excited to try new brands and new products. It’s not only helpful for my readers but also very enriching for me as well. Recently, I tried a few products from a brand called Ethicare Remedies available on Emegamart.com.

The cap closes tightly and is absolutely spill-proof. The sleek packaging makes the product safe for travelling. A part of the tube is transparent so that you can keep a tab on how much product you are left with and it also adds to the aesthetics.

Texture & Smell

Cutishine Anti-acne Face Wash by Ethicare Remedies Review | Cherry On Top

The texture of Cutishine Anti-acne face wash is like that of a gel and the consistency is quite runny. The face wash is transparent and has no colour whatsoever. It contains tiny white and golden beads in it which help in gently exfoliate the skin while cleaning it.

The smell is quite like an aftershave or a gent’s EDT. The smell isn’t something I am really fond of. I find it a bit strong for my liking. I love skincare products that are mildly scented.

My Experience with Ethicare Remedies Cutishine Anti-acne Face Wash

Cutishine Anti-acne Face Wash by Ethicare Remedies Review | Cherry On Top

Having been suffering from occasional acne (mainly hormonal) and ‘blessed‘ with oily skin, I never stop searching for that perfect wash for my skin. I have been using this face wash for the past few weeks and I think this is something I definitely should continue using this.

When I started using this face wash, I did not have any active acne. So, I cannot tell you if this removes pimple or not but it certainly helped me keep the occasional pimples at bay. It delayed the arrival of the pimples and as I continued using this, it completely stopped them from appearing.

But, acne is not the main skin concern that I have, it’s the oiliness that bothers me more than the occasional pimples and this face wash has effectively taken care of that. It removes any traces of the excessive sebum that my skin produces during the night and gets accumulated mainly around my nose. Also, the tiny beads in the product help gently exfoliate the skin, unclogging the pores. These beads are not at all harsh on the skin thus could be used on a daily basis.

Despite removing all the extra oil from your face, this product does not dry out your skin or make it stretchy at all. Both Tea tree oil and Salicylic acid work wonders for the acne, tea tree oil is also a great anti-oxidant that fights free radicals. Glycolic acid and Salicylic acid are gentle exfoliants that remove any dead cells from the skin without being abrasive on the skin. Liquorice helps brighten the skin giving it a radiant look. Glycerine and D-Panthenol are great humectants that help moisturize the skin without making it oily. Aloe vera helps the skin soothe and adds a bit of moisture too. Overall, the ingredients list is quite impressive which makes the product totally safe to use.

Despite being engineered for oily, acne-prone skin, it’s suitable for all skin types.

Which anti-acne face wash can you swear by?

MamaEarth Coco Face Scrub Review

No Comments

Hello, everyone. Hope you all are doing great. Today’s post is a review of the Mamaearth Coco Face Scrub. Before starting off, I just want to put a disclaimer that this post is in no means sponsored or under a collaboration. I have used Mamaearth products in the past and I feel that this brand needs more exposure than what it gets right now. I have been using this particular scrub for the past couple of weeks and I thought it’s just the right time to share my views with you all. Now, let’s jump straight into the review. 

Scrubbing is one of the most essential parts of my skincare routine. I like to scrub my face every two days because I think that’s what works for me the best. Generally, it is advised to exfoliate your skin at least twice a week. I also like to scrub my face before and after shaving and also after removing my makeup. Scrubbing my face after makeup has proved to be very beneficial for my skin. It helps keep the breakouts at bay. 

A Few Words on the brand- Mamaearth

Mamaearth is an Indian personal care brand that focuses on natural skin, hair and baby care products which are 100% toxin-free. It is claimed to be Asia’s first Made-safe certified brand.

Packaging

Mamaearth Coco Face Scrub comes in a classic plastic tube packaging. The flip-open lid is quite secure and spill-proof. Overall, I found the packaging very sturdy and sleek. You can easily carry it with you.

Also, all the information about this product is written on the tube, including ingredients and manufacturing and expiry dates which I found really handy.

Texture & Smell

Mamaearth Coco Face Scrub has a very creamy texture. It’s loaded with micro-exfoliating particles. The consistency is not very thick or not to thin thus it’s quite easy to work with it.  The thickness of the product is just perfect so no need to mix it with water. 

The smell is exactly like exotic coffee and a bit of cocoa. Quite obvious, right? The smell actually helps in calming my senses to some extent. Using it in the mornings can actually help you wake up. I find it exclusively great or me as I am a coffee lover. The scent is quite raw and not at all chemical-like. The best thing about the scent is that it’s not very strong or overpowering. It’s mild and relaxing.

My Experience with MamaEarth Coco Face Scrub

Scrubs are one of my favourite skincare steps. I love this particular product for several reasons.

  • Firstly, this is a very mild exfoliator. The granules are loosely packed and are not very abrasive. That’s why it doesn’t feel harsh on the skin. My skin has been acting up lately. It gets bumpy and sometimes sensitive. This scrub doesn’t irritate my skin.
  • The second thing I love about this product is that it doesn’t make the skin dry or stretchy. I have used many scrubs in the past and most of them had a tendency to make your skin look and feel dehydrated. Gladly, this one doesn’t. Rather it keeps the skin moisturized even after cleansing it thoroughly. The shea butter in it makes sure your skin is well-nourished and hydrated. This results in a soft and supple skin every time you use this scrub.
  • The aroma of this is another thing about this scrub that I love. The coffee and cocoa smell makes your mornings even more energetic and also help you relax on your tougher days. 

Overall, I found this product very impressive and effective. It gently exfoliates the dead cells off of the skin leaving it nourished and hydrated. It also effectively removes blackheads too. The skin feels soft and smooth after application which I really like. Although this product is a little on the expensive side I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a 100% Indian, natural, chemical-free and hydrating exfoliator. #VocalforLocal
