SOS Organics Rose Geranium Soap: Hand-Crafted in the Himalayas

Hi Everyone, 

How was your weekend and that too coupled with Rakshbandhan! I was too occupied with preps and people who are marwaris have something more to double up as Rakshabandhan is followed by 'Sattu Teej'. 

If any of you have ever watched some marwari serials like Balika Vadhu or Yeh Rishta kya Kehlata hai. (Although i too do not watch TV serials but i know that these serials have shown these festival celebrations and gave a mass reach) then you might understand that this one of the biggest festivals for Marwari women who fasts for their family and prepares a special dish called Sattu and worships Teej Mata on the day. Any ways this is a part of my current routine but away from that today i am back to my love- my Blog (broad smile).

Today its a handcrafed luxury bath soap from SOS organics +SOS Organics - it is Rose Geranium Soap. I bought this from www.joybynature.com, 100 gms of the Soap retails at 140 INR. You can buy it here.

If are following my last few posts, you might have read, how much i love Khadi Rose soap and Ishalife Honey soap. I was looking for more Rose based/Jasmine based soaps but i gave a try to little different one.

Looking into the description that this product is from an organic brand, free of parabens and SLS/SLES along with cruelty free- i had enough reasons to spend. lets see how it fared.

Lotus Herbals Safe Sun UV Screen Matte Gel with PA+++ & SPF 50: Review

Hi Girls, 

I am one of the most lazy bums and even i keep struggling with skin issues, then too I often skip my skin care essentials.I also believed that while in indoors and other seasons other than summers, one hardly needs sun screens. Keeping your skin clean is enough- but that was not correct. My laziness made me fall prey several skin issues and then I decided to stick to at least basic regime.

This time i am sharing one of my skin care essentials- Sunscreen from Lotus Herbals.

I trust Lotus for their sunscreen formulations. It is Lotus Herbals Safe Sun UV Screen Matte Gel with PA+++ & SPF 50. +Lotus Herbals .

Himalaya Herbals Intense Oil Clear Lemon face wash- For Him:Review

Himalaya Herbals Intense Oil Clear Lemon face wash- For Him from Himalaya Herbals India. +Himalaya Store 

I have just pen down his experience. 

Dear Boys, firstly i am not quite a shopper (as we all men are). when it comes to personal products, all i need is a good face wash to keep my face dirt and oil free. 

Till i met my lady, my purchases were limited to Himalaya Neem face wash when i talk about any toiletry product apart from Soaps.

Thanks to my beauty freak wife & so many brands who came up with the idea of separate products for Men. So she has something more to add to her shopping bag and ME to loose!

Clean and Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash: Review

Worried that your pimple is taking away all the attention from that special dress, your new shades or that bouncy hairstyle that you’ve always wanted? Worry not, here’s what you need to know about those annoying pimples.

What are these pimples?

Spots or pimples form when your skin has too much oil, allowing bacteria to breed. The bacteria clog your pores, causing swelling and redness.

Well, then, how do I actually get rid of pimples if I’ve got ‘em already? 

We recommend using Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Facewash to fight and remove pimples. Its special neem-lemon formula reduces redness and prevents spreading right from first use, so that your pimple does not take the focus away from what you are and so the world can see the real you!

Surprised! What is this???

Actually this is an excerpt from a long Questionnaire, picked from Clean & Clear-website, which intends to introduce the product to the readers.

So, the product is Clean and Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash. 

You can find detailed information about Acne/pimples, causes, precautions on their website- www.cleanandclear.in 

But now what am i talking about then??

its about my experience and review of the product. 

I have oily to combination skin, highly acne prone and keep having cystic/adult acne quite often. i already good experience with Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily scrub and also using their Morning Energy face washes since quite long. Clean and Clear never failed. You can now understand how much was i lured to see this new baby of theirs.
