(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).

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!

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.
