Aura Vedic Kumkumadi Oil for Face & Body

Facial is probably one of the most popular skin treatments in Beauty Salons and has become an integral part of beauty Regime. Although I have not been to Facials frequently, reason being I was not sure if this would treat or aggravate my skin problems. Their Sooo enormously creamy massages and heavy scrubs were actually led me withdrew everytime. 

But recently while I was introduced to Oils and Aroma Therapy with Essential Oils, I found that Facial Oils are one of the best ways not only to clean but rejuvenate the skin. Initially I was only sticking to my DIY Face Oils for Cleansing and Massage. But recently gave a try to one of my most trusted Ayurvedic Brands- AURA VEDIC.

Skin Care Haul- The Body Shop, Farsali- First Impressions

Hi Girls, 

Past few weeks has really been hectic as i was too occupied travelling but then my favourite escape to the boredom and monotony was (and would always be) online shopping. 

Was excited to see year end sale offers  & discounts so some of the picks were like...lures and while others were new and some were on my wishlist.

Lets see some of them which i have in my bucket..

1. The Body Shop Haul- This was like the one most awaited one. flat 50% off sale on The Body SHop site!!!. There were real good products on offer and it was difficult to choose few but then after a lot of random thoughts i picked- 

a. The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalising Sleeping Cream (INR 2495 for 80ml)

I bought this as i was looking for a good Night cream which addresses my Acne prone skin and aging concerns. i was all done with my Kama Ayurveda Night Cream and it worked amazingly well on my skin so that i had too high expectations for others to match. But then Oils of Life was a good deal at flat 50% off although I was eyeing Tea Tree Anti Imperfection mask along with The Charcoal Mask but then its better not to be greedy...hehehe.

My first Impressions- Nice gel cream with pleasant aroma; is so calming and soothing for face. Have used it for 5-10 days and always woke up with plumped, hydrated and glowing skin. No side effects so far.

This vision led -Advika Kumari to present a revolutionary product in skin care harnessing age old indian philosophy and vinotherapy. Yes, i am talking about GRAVITALE. 

It has recently ventured in Indian market and available on Purplle.com.

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!
