Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C Skincare Range review

May 12, 2021 No Comments

Time and again, I have shared in my blog that skincare is not just a routine for me, it is a therapy. When it comes to choosing the right product with the right ingredients, I never forget to research what I am using on my skin, and I believe it is very important we all do so. Recently, the ingredients my skin has been loving are Vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid and I made sure I use the best. ITC Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C range is what I have opted for recently and I am going to share my personal experience with the Vitamin C face wash, hand cream, and face serum.

Before starting off with the review, I wanted to let you all know that I have been using these products for a couple of weeks and only then I am able to tell you if these products have worked for me or not. It is completely up to you if you want to spend your money reading this review or you want to do more research before that. I always recommend you guys to do your research well before you invest in any product.

Coming back to the review, Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C Range has been launched recently by the brand and it consists of three products- Deep Radiance Face Wash, Deep Radiance Hand Cream & Deep Radiance Face Serum. This range is packed with three extremely potent ingredients like Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and Salicylic Acid. Together these products will make your skin radiant and youthful, hydrated, soft and supple to touch, and will revitalize the skin by removing signs of fatigue and dullness.

Now, let’s get into individual product reviews-

Charmis Deep Radiance Face Wash

Price- Rs 180 for 150ml

Formula & Efficacy- Formulated with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid & Salicylic Acid, this face washes deeply cleanses the skin and removes extra oil and dirt from the skin. Vitamin C, an extremely potent antioxidant provides radiance to the skin making it look youthful & nourished. Hyaluronic acid provides great hydration to the skin and retains that moisture for a long period of time. Salicylic acid does a great job of gently exfoliating your skin and at the same time keeps acne at bay. This facewash washes away 99.9% acne-causing bacteria. Despite the deep cleansing and high foaming, this does not strip away the natural oils from your skin. Rather, it keeps the skin hydrated even after the wash.

Texture, Colour & Smell- The texture of the deep radiance face wash is like a pinkish gel that foams up so much once you work it on to your face. One thing I like so much about this product is that a little of it goes a long way. Even the tiniest amount lathers well to cover your entire face and neck. The fragrance of this is quite mild and refreshing and not at all overpowering.

Charmis Deep Radiance Face Serum

Price- Rs 210 for 30ml

Formula & Efficacy- Applying a facial serum is a step that I have started loving recently. The deep radiance face serum is claimed to penetrate 15 layers deep into the skin and delivers the active ingredients directly into the skin. Regular use of this product helps remove dullness from the face, add a brightening effect, and hydrates the skin. The non-sticky formula helps it get absorbed into the skin quickly and completely without making the skin greasy at all. Although it is suitable for all skin tones, I recommend dry skin people apply a moisturizer afterward and oily skin people leave it as it is.

Texture & Smell- The texture of this serum is quite runny, but it gets absorbed by the skin in no time. It is extremely lightweight so even if you use this in the morning, you don’t feel heaviness on the skin. This has a soothing aroma that lingers for quite some time post-application. The fragrance, like the others in this range, is not overpowering at all.

Charmis Deep Radiance Hand Cream

Price- Rs 180 for 150ml

Taking care of our hands has been a matter of great importance after the Covid-19 broke out. The use of hand sanitizers and hand washes have increased substantially which caused the occurrence of dehydration and roughness in the hands. This issue has also increased the sales of hand creams in the market. People are now aware of taking care of their hands also.

Packaging, Formula & Efficacy- Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C hand cream comes in a compact packaging that is easy to travel with and is completely spill-proof. This product does not only deeply nourish your hands but also protects them from 99.9% of bacteria that come in contact. This again is packed with the goodness of Vitamin C that fights the signs of aging, because as interesting as it might sound, our hands are one of the first body parts that show signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid holds in the hydration which is really important because our hands endure a lot during the day.

The formula is very lightweight and non-greasy without compromising on hydrating power. I really like this fact about this hand cream because I do not like the idea of moisturized hands that cannot hold a pen.

Texture & Smell- The texture of this deep radiance hand cream is soft and lightweight like how a hand cream should be. It is soft and easy to blend into the skin. It also gets absorbed well leaving no stickiness behind. The smell is a refreshing floral fragrance that is quite similar to that of the entire range.

Here are a few pointers that make the Charmis Deep Radiance range worth a try-

Chic pink and white packaging
Sturdy and safe to travel with
Easy availability
Reasonably priced
Loaded with the benefits of Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Salicylic Acid
Shows effects after a couple of weeks of religious use.
A little goes a long way.
Mild, refreshing fragrance that lingers for a decent amount of time without giving you headaches.
A trusted brand that is known for its quality and budget-friendliness
Suitable for all skin types

I would highly recommend the Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C Skincare range if you are looking for an affordable yet effective range of skincare products that will remove any dullness from your skin.

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

March 24, 2021 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

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

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

March 2, 2021 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.

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.

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.

Deyga Rose and Geranium Body Butter Review

November 24, 2020 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

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

November 21, 2020 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.

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-

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.

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+ 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.

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

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

November 18, 2020 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.

Cruelty-free

This face pack can also help even the skin tone and provide a nourished, soft, and supple feeling to the skin.

Price- 490/- for 200g
Shelf life- 8 months from the date of manufacturing
You can purchase the Rose & Mulethi face pack here.

Packaging-

This face pack comes in a sturdy transparent glass jar with a metal screw-on lid. Although the packaging makes it less appropriate for travelling the glass they have used is very good quality and also, it makes it eco-friendly. The transparency of the jar allows you to keep a tab on the amount of product you’re left with.

Texture & Smell-

The rose and mulethi face pack comes in a fine dust form and the fragrance is a mild rose fragrance. They haven’t used any artificial colours or perfumes in this product so what you get is absolutely natural.

How to Use-

Take about a tablespoon or two full of the Rose and Mulethi pack in a bowl, mix it with some milk or rose water and make a paste out of it. Apply the paste thickly and evenly across your face, leave it for about 15 minutes or until 80% dry and wash it off using gentle circular massaging strokes.

My Experience with Deyga Rose and Mulethi Face Pack-

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

October 3, 2020 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-

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

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.
