Vasu Kumkumadi Thailam Sugar Scrub Review | Cherry On Top
beauty

Vasu Sugar Scrub Review

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.

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?

Nature Sure Olive Oil Benefits for Skin & Hair

Hi, guys! Hope you all are doing great. It’s been long since I have posted anything about my recent skincare discoveries and that is not okay as I have always shared my new finds with you. Today, I’ll be talking about the Nature Sure Olive Oil and the countless olive oil benefits for skin and hair. Recently, I have started adding different oils to my skincare and haircare regime and I feel it is one of the best changes I have ever made in my life. Olive oil is one of the first oils to be introduced to my routines. I am going to tell you what to expect from olive oil and how it has benefitted me.

Olive Oil is a plant-based oil, derived from olives thus it is completely vegan. It is mostly and popularly used in cooking and as salad dressings and is considered the most nutritional and healthy oil, but it has various other benefits too.

Olive Oil for Skin

There are various proven skin benefits of olive oil and today I’ll be talking about those that have worked magic for me.

Moisturizes Skin-

Olive oil can be used as a great moisturizer for dry skin. If you have dry facial skin and body, massage olive oil before going to sleep or before you take shower. Wash with lukewarm water and apply moisturizer. I was suffering from severe dry patches around my mouth and using Nature Sure Rogan Jaitun Tel religiously for a couple of weeks helped me cure those. It does not only moisturizes your skin but also gives a healthy glow to it. It also gently exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells.

Anti-ageing Benefits-

Olive oil is rich in various antioxidants and Vitamin E which protects the skin by limiting the production of free radicals and that eventually delays skin ageing.

Acts as Makeup Remover-

Oils are the most amazing makeup remover. I have recently discovered my love for olive oil and coconut oil when it comes to makeup removers. Earlier, I used to freak out thinking about applying oil to my face but I now have realised that it is very easy to completely wash off the oil from your face post-application. Oils, especially olive and coconut removes waterproof makeup very effectively without irritating your skin or your eyes. After you are done with removing your makeup, you can either wash your face with a mild cleanser or you can use a cloth soaked in warm water to gently give your skin a rinse. The former is for oily/combination skin people and the latter is for dry skin girls.

Olive Oil for Hair

Olive oil is great for your hair as well. It can be used in many ways to benefit your hair and scalp.

Anti-dandruff-

You can use olive oil to get rid of your dandruff and itchy scalp. A massage with olive oil mixed with some lemon juice can keep dandruff at bay and also it will clear out existing dandruff. You can do this twice a week if you have severe and recurring dandruff issue.

Smooth Hair-

Olive oil can be used as a base for different hair masks and it can also be used on its own. A regular massage with olive oil will promote hair growth, will make the hair smooth and soft and at the same time, it will add shine to the hair. Vitamin E in olive oil boosts healthy hair growth.

Summer Shower Routine Ft Skinella | Cherry On Top | Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash review | Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub review| Skinella Products Review
Bath & Body

Summer Shower Routine Ft Skinella

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 Skinella– Skinella 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.

Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash

Summer Shower Routine Ft Skinella | Cherry On Top | Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash review | Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub review| Skinella Products Review

Price-₹260 for 200g (Buy here)

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.

Summer Shower Routine Ft Skinella | Cherry On Top | Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash review | Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub review| Skinella Products Review

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.

Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub

Price-₹285 for 150g (Buy here)

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.

Summer Shower Routine Ft Skinella | Cherry On Top | Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash review | Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub review| Skinella Products Review

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.

Disclaimer- The products were kindly sent to me by the brand in return for an honest review.

Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil Review | Cherry On Top

Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil Review

It had been quite a while (read ages) since I last oiled my hair. The last time I had oiled my hair was when I was in school. Recently, I decided to give the Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil a go because of two reasons. One, I was planning to include hair oiling to my hair care regime. Second, I have got sent a bottle of the hair oil by the brand right at that moment. It’s been a month since I started using this hair oil religiously and today I’ll share with you my experience.

Price- ₹185 (Buy here)

Packaging-

Lalam Oil Plus hair oil comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a flip cap and the bottle comes inside a white box which has all the information printed on it. The packaging is nothing special but it is totally spill-proof, thus very travel-friendly.

Formulation & The Science Behind-

RootBioTec HO
Prevents hair loss, stops premature greying and promotes growth.

Based on an extract from a hairy root culture from basil, Root Phytotec HO helps reduce hair loss by inhibiting 5α reductase activity and by stimulating dermal papilla cells.
Hair loss affects both women and men. In 95 % of all cases of hair loss occurring exclusively on the head,
the cause is an increased sensitivity of the hair follicles
to the androgenic hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Androgenic alopecia, which is the name of the condition, is hereditary, permanent and continues as one gets older.

Root Phytotec – a Novel Technique developed to produce Cosmetic Actives
For the production of Root Phytotec HO, Mibelle Biochemistry developed a novel sustainable technique to produce high amounts of the active compounds of basil in bioreactors.

The “hairy roots” technology is a type of plant tissue culture that is used to produce high quality, phytogenic compounds of pharmaceutical value.

Long lasting benefits of Root Phytotec

• Prevents hair loss
• For fuller hair
• Stimulates hair papilla cells
• Rejuvenates scalp

My Experience with Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil

Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil Review

My scalp is always very oily. That is the reason why I wash my hair more often than I should. It tends to trip off the natural oils from my scalp. So, it was necessary for me to oil my hair at least twice to stop my hair from getting dry. I always thought, if I oil my hair it will make it worse since my scalp is already very oily. But, to my surprise, it did nothing of that sort.

I use this oil thrice a week to avoid any extra oiliness in my hair but the company says the best results will show up if you use this oil every day. If you are like me, use it thrice a week and you will get a good result too. It has arrested my hair fall for about 60%.

The best thing about this oil is that it is non-sticky and does not cause any irritation to my scalp or facial skin. A great tip on hair-oiling for you would be- always apply hair oil on a clean scalp. Shampoo your hair first and then apply the hair oil the next day. It will allow the oil to come in contact with your scalp and provide nourishment.

When I massage my scalp with this oil, my hair looks and feels more manageable than ever after I wash my hair. It has a mild fragrance of herbs, mostly methi. The smell lingers for long even after a couple of washes.

I am satisfied with the Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil. Have you used it yet?

6 Reasons Why You Are Breaking Out

Acne is a skin condition that affects more than half of the world population and leads to insecurities and lower self-esteem issues. Most of the times, you do not even understand what the problem is, which makes this skin condition even worse. Therefore, we have the top reasons as to why you might be getting acne breakouts.

1.   Consuming Too Much Spicy Food

Spicy foods are made with peppers and tomatoes, which have acidic lycopene in them that cause irritations and imbalance the pH levels of the skin leading to breakouts. However, not just spicy food can lead to breakouts. Some people can get breakouts because of bread, dairy, and other types of skin. Keep in mind that every person reacts to certain foods differently, therefore, you should never compare would situation with anyone. Focus on eating fresh fruits and vegetables as much as you can as they contain water and beneficial nutrients that are important to you.

2.   Check the Products You Are Using

There are many lotions that contain mineral oil because it is a “super-heavy moisturizing agent,” but what you do not know is that it can clog pores that lead to breakouts. Another ingredient that you need to avoid putting on your skin are silicone based products. Similar to mineral oils, silicones can cause breakouts as well. If you want to maintain clear skin, you will need to look for products that clearly say “non-comedogenic” as these products will not clog and they will prevent breakouts. If you have Proactive acne, read more.

3.   Stop Smoking

Every time you smoke a cigarette, you are lowering the amount of oxygen that is supposed to go on your face. Not only are you exposing yourself to cancer, but you are also lessening the collagen and elastin present in your skin. Collagen and elastin have the ability to prevent large pores and wrinkles, therefore, the carcinogens in a cigarette eliminate these two vital skin properties. The more you smoke, the more breakouts will occur. Try to avoid smoking as much as you can so you can live a healthier life and have clear skin.

4.   You Might Be Over-Scrubbing

People that have acne-prone skin think that scrubbing their face with rough exfoliants (crushed apricot seeds), hard washcloths, or cleaning brushes, assume that their skin will become flawless. However, it has the opposite effect on it. When they do this the bacteria from the acne spread all over the skin, making the condition even worse. You need to find the right facial cleanser for your skin so you can prevent acne from happening again. Make sure you are aware of your skin type as every facial cleanser has a different job.

5.   Picking Pimples Triggers More to Grow

As tempting as it may be, do not pick on your pimples. Picking on your pimples will most likely leave a red mark that will turn into an acne scar. The worst part about “playing dermatologist” is that when you are trying to squeeze the puss out of the pore, there is a chance that you are making it go deeper into your skin. When the bacterium spreads underneath the skin layer, there is a chance that you will get more pimples. The best way to prevent yourself from touching your pimples is by challenging yourself. If you keep your hands off your face you will not only see a reduction in your pimples, but you will see how your complexion is getting better.

6.   Release All Stress

It is true that stress causes acne. The more you stress out, the more pimples you will have and ultimately you will be stuck in a vicious cycle. When you are stressing, your skin will begin to create stress hormones that include cortisol. Cortisol will stimulate the production of oil glands so they can make testosterone. This will make your skin excessively oily and clog your pores. In order to prevent this from happening, you must make sure you are meditating, working out daily, and taking time out for yourself. All this will allow you to release stress so your body does not keep generating these harmful hormones.

My Experience with Speaking Tree Argan Carrier Oil-

Speaking Tree Argan Carrier Oil Review, Price

My experience with Speaking Tree Argan Carrier Oil is my first experience with Argan Oil itself. Before that, I never used any argan oil. I had heard a lot about the benefits and magical properties of Argan oil before so, I was really excited to try it myself.

As I am currently using Speaking Tree Lemon Essential Oil for my face, I do not use the Argan oil for my skin. I use it for my hair. For the last few weeks, I have been using it as a leave-in conditioner. I just take a couple of drops of the Argan oil and apply to the ends of my hair after washing it with my favourite shampoo.

As Argan oil is non-greasy, it nourishes my tresses without making them oily.

If you are looking for a budget-friendly argan oil then I would highly recommend you to try Speaking Tree Argan carrier oil.
