Handle THOSE days with Expert Intimate Hygiene with VWASH plus

Hi Girls, 

Recently Madhya Pradesh Government has declared 28 May as Menstrual Hygeine day and started their pilot project 'Udita' to raise awareness about safe and healthy menstrual hygeine movement along with fighting the taboos associated with menstruation among the society. 

Menstruation in Indian society has been associated with lot of taboos, myths and misconceptions. A female undergoing those vital changes in her body during those initial years is not given proper chance and education to learn about the developments in her body and how to take care of it. Rather the associated taboo and misconceptions makes it a bad, painful and humiliating experience for a girl. What all is at stake first is, the health of the girl due to lack of education on related hygeine. More than 88% women are vulnerable to vaginal and other infections for not using proper hygiene methods.

I could even find several girls in urban and rural areas where girls and even married women lack sufficient information about sanitary and menstrual hygiene. So todays post is an effort to inform and educate all my readers who are aware and can help make others aware too. Some tips on how we can maintain Intimate hygeine regularly and during those period days too.

1. Body wash with Antiseptic Liquid- 

Train your younger sisters and girls and if you are a mother to a girl, tell her to use Antispetic liquid frequently in their bath. Atleast twice a week where they just put a liquid like Dettol in bath for proper cleaning and killing germs. While home remedies like boiling Neem leaves and bathing with the water coud be tedious and not possible frequently so Antispetic liquid is a safe and easy option. 

Lotus Herbals Tea Tree Face Wash for oily skin:Anti Acne Oil control Face wash

Hi All, 

Dry skin at times seems to be a boon, you can apply as many products you want to pamper your skin and never have to worry about the zits which could spoil your skin. I used to have super dry skin (although little sensitive skin) in my teens and I could still remember all possible kind of masks, ubtans and creams I used to apply..... Anyways now since I have oily to combination skin and am a blogger too, little more aware about skin types, issues, harmful effects of chemicals etc so more cautious about my skin care & make up picks. 

Today i will be sharing a product which is not new to market but it was lying somewhere in my shelf and recently i have started using this. 

Today its a skin care product from one of my favourite brands- Lotus Herbals. I have liked most of their products and even reviewed some of my HG ones earlier like Lotus Herbals Alphamoist oil free moisturiser. 

This is Lotus Herbals Tea Tree Wash - Tea Tree and Cinnamon Anti Acne Oil Control Face wash from +Lotus Herbals . 

Price- 120 gms for 175 INR. Available on all online and retail counters. 

But it here.

Specially formulated for acne prone & oily skin. The anti acne oil control face wash contains Tea Tree Oil and Cinnamon and Oak Bark extracts which remove excessive oil while regulating the sebum (oil) production in the skin. These special ingredients in this premium face wash decrease these acne type lesion and combat free radicals leaving the skin fresh, clean and clearer. 

The Lotus Herbals Tea Tree Face wash comes packed in a squeezy flip cap tube. 

Signature Packaging of Lotus Herbals- in colours of Yellow and green with key ingredients image printed. Details about the product, usage and ingredients is clearly mentioned at back of tube. Packaging is simple and sturdy. 

While the face wash is a clear transparent gel with white micro beads suspended in it. Gel is runny and one needs to be little cautious while drawing it out.
