A Yiddish proverb goes like, “What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul”

One couldn't have merged brevity and truth better than this. The humble Bars of soap have been an integral part of our childhood and growing up years. It was the go-to solution, probably the only solution, of the cleansing regimen. Whether it be a Lifebuoy or a Lux, the occasional Liril or Cinthol, or for that matter the quintessential Pears, which always reminds me of my grandmom, as it has been her soap of choice for almost 20 years now (That's brand loyalty for you), these are our tethers to simpler times.
As we grew up, body shampoos, bathing gels, body spa treatments and everything in between vied for our collective attention as they infused themselves with sometimes exotic and most times inane "natural" herbs and spices and elements. We've all tried it, We've all liked it to a certain degree as well, we've come out of the showers feeling relaxed, a bit more manly, a bit more exfoliated and maybe a bit more nourished as our preferences went.
So when, on one of my e-commerce window shopping sprees, I chanced upon The Man Company's Charcoal soap AND it took me 2 minutes straight to throw my money at them. For the sake of full disclosure, the bar is black in colour and they had me right there. It arrived in a simple yet classy brown paper box and didn't have the slippery quality of other regular soap bars.

Hello all! Hope you are having a good Monday. Today, I am writing about one of my most loved products. The Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil. I am a huge advocate of it and have convinced quite a few others to try it too, and most of them have loved it as well. If I were to recommend one skincare product, it would be facial oils!

I have oily-combination skin and I never used to put anything on my face for a long time, even moisturizers. So, the thought of trying out an oil on my skin was sounded super crazy to me. But, I always battle acne on and off and I just wanted to give the Lotus Treatment Oil a try. After finishing a 2ml sample, I was so amazed that picked up the full size the very next day!
