Well, the addition of sulphate in any hair shampoo helps increase lather formation. Thus, it might help eliminate your scalp's impurities and excess oils.</span></span></div><p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">It is believed that an increased amount of lather formation helps in cleansing the hair in a better way compared to a </span></span><span class="s12" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">sulphate free shampoo in India</span></span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">.

But this does not mean that the shampoo cannot cleanse your scalp properly. There are gentle cleansers added to the formula that would help to clean both the scalp and the hair strands. This is done all the time without stripping the essential oils, vitamins, and moisture that the scalp and hair contain. </span></span></div><p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">If you look at the broader picture, you will see that the formula is also loaded with essential oils and vitamins. These nutrients can penetrate the scalp region while using hair shampoo. As the hair follicles contact these beneficial ingredients, the hair cells are nourished and strengthened from within. This allows the hair to become strong and healthy naturally. </span></span></div><p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="s12" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Benefit 2 – Helps to Retain Hair Colour: </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="s12" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Now comes the tricky part in which retaining that hair color is important.

However, using a shampoo loaded with sulphate washes away that color and reduces the level of pigmentation. </span></span></div><p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">This is where using a </span></span><span class="s12" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">sulphate free shampoo in India</span></span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;"><span class="bumpedFont15" style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"> can help.

I have to agree with this - I find that it couldn't really do much when I kept it on for a shorter time. 3-5 minutes won't really do much and I strongly recommend you to keep it on for the suggested time period. Which brings me to my main point - make sure you have enough time on hand when you plan on using this mask. I usually try to keep my showers short & quick and this mask is not a good pick for those days. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">When I use it for 15- 20 minutes, I find that it makes my hair softer. It also helps in detangling, and reduces frizz to an extent. It rinses off well and does not weigh down my fine hair. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Since this mask is silicone free, it doesn't give the same level of shine & smoothness you get from a mask that has silicones. It is understandable and I don't mind it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Price : 675 INR for 250g</i></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Available on : </div><div style="text-align: left;">- <a href="https://plumgoodness.com/discount/SWATI15?ref=SWATIRAM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Plum website (15% off with code SWATI15)</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">- <a href="SWATI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vanity Wagon (20% off with code SWATI)</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">- <a href="https://sublimelife.in/products/plum-avocado-nourish-up-hair-mask?ref=SWATIRAM&utm_source=affiliate" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sublime Life (10% off with code CD10)</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">- <a href="https://nyk0.page.link/WviXRS5Byi5bTpWP7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nykaa</a> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPL9MnmPBUY7lwMXSglLLSZU4FewX2oyy15T5PxWFkFba6V5IRRfayDY7iEHZFz51ILlVdBlWggYbNqF5w6BmLEn-Gi4Ul3pfh-lNY_Yin44aXm0BEMvQeSctgYI1yUNnhlcI8iZVx7TRCBI9gXVKUuj5jvlqoPy1ayVvgEkNKM03vfRIO1ZvLGoPwJg/s6000/1651907808658.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plum Avocado Nourish-up Hair Mask, Plum Avocado Nourish-up Hair Mask review, Plum Hair Mask review, Affordable Hair Mask India" border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="531" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPL9MnmPBUY7lwMXSglLLSZU4FewX2oyy15T5PxWFkFba6V5IRRfayDY7iEHZFz51ILlVdBlWggYbNqF5w6BmLEn-Gi4Ul3pfh-lNY_Yin44aXm0BEMvQeSctgYI1yUNnhlcI8iZVx7TRCBI9gXVKUuj5jvlqoPy1ayVvgEkNKM03vfRIO1ZvLGoPwJg/w799-h531/1651907808658.png" title="Plum Avocado Nourish-up Hair Mask, Plum Avocado Nourish-up Hair Mask review, Plum Hair Mask review, Affordable Hair Mask India" width="799" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I love that this is easily available and not very expensive.

If you've been following my skin journey, you'll know that it hit its lowest point a year ago. Thanks to some hormonal upheavals, I suddenly found myself at the threshold of comedones and cystic acne despite my dry skin. Not only did that bring about a huge change in my appreciation for healthy skin, it also saw my entire skincare stash being revamped.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now that I have a multitude of products that are soothing, calming, healing and the like, I'd like to share my experience with them with the hope that it can help you achieve happier skin yourself!</div><div style="text-align: left;">A few weeks back, I reviewed the <a href="https://www.curiosanddreams.com/?m=0" target="_blank">Skin & Lab Medicica Cream </a>and you might wonder why I have another cica cream to talk about so soon. Well, they both might share a common ingredient but that's where the similarity ends. The Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair cream serves another purpose with its ingredients, read on to know why!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ3mwxRHWhq5iXZrgiqVzxFetFLGoPGzygxQC7joqUytq8kC-mJ48NtwuLuIf_6EmJp1MhjJ49toyIRneCJL2_h3EuziDinBhcwKZBzSVKzFpAmf-0TMHb6Yce9fNGsMLNymk54iuNgeAuCk82tpHh9_r-9ULw_yedY_9yd466R5UvX_VYuqqvZrUCxQ/s5328/1648008831519.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream review, Keep Cool and Soothe, Keep Cool and Soothe India" border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="5328" height="598" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ3mwxRHWhq5iXZrgiqVzxFetFLGoPGzygxQC7joqUytq8kC-mJ48NtwuLuIf_6EmJp1MhjJ49toyIRneCJL2_h3EuziDinBhcwKZBzSVKzFpAmf-0TMHb6Yce9fNGsMLNymk54iuNgeAuCk82tpHh9_r-9ULw_yedY_9yd466R5UvX_VYuqqvZrUCxQ/w797-h598/1648008831519.png" title="Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream review, Keep Cool and Soothe, Keep Cool and Soothe India" width="797" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>What the brand says : </b><span style="color: #444444;"><i>Soothe<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Phyto Greenpair cream is infused with Centella Asiatica harvested from Jeju Island, as well as Keep Cool's signature Cool Keeper blend extract that targets to calm irritated skin instantly. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">This fragrance-free and fast-absorbing moisturizer is perfect for sensitive skin.

It dispenses as a soft pudding-like product which has a bounce to it when you first poke it. Once you begin massaging it in, the cream melts over your skin and almost starts to feel like fresh water, infusing hydration. Once absorbed, it leaves a hint of moisturization that feels deceptively light, but is surprisingly enough to stop TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss). Go figure!</span></div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFaGnSc158OngynEkaL9ufYpIoW6OEtIBCrU7yoFd9y1mTWcmaH8lRU9LLdYxXPWEreYxes2ndIF9FYksJTSYEgtUtopQgyMDMWI9rwtnoaUXL13b5oyhep4ams8H-OTuettsz6kRdUj5YbN9c4TH5cGTt0KNI7p2LY4cC1hABFN5oucF7K4LtSYkRwQ/s5328/1648009006835.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream review, Keep Cool and Soothe, Keep Cool and Soothe India" border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="5328" height="598" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFaGnSc158OngynEkaL9ufYpIoW6OEtIBCrU7yoFd9y1mTWcmaH8lRU9LLdYxXPWEreYxes2ndIF9FYksJTSYEgtUtopQgyMDMWI9rwtnoaUXL13b5oyhep4ams8H-OTuettsz6kRdUj5YbN9c4TH5cGTt0KNI7p2LY4cC1hABFN5oucF7K4LtSYkRwQ/w797-h598/1648009006835.png" title="Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream review, Keep Cool and Soothe, Keep Cool and Soothe India" width="797" /></a></div><p></p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The highlight of the Keep Cool and Soothe cream is that it brings potent wound healing properties to the table. I'd say that its reparative property is far more than its anti-inflammatory one, and that can clearly be seen from the ingredients list. Asiaticoside, asiatic acid, pinus extract, bambusa extract, panthenol all help in increasing skin strength and boost its own restorative capacity. The addition of shea butter ensures a comforting layer of moisturization over compromised skin.</span></div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">As soon as I apply it, I can feel the cooling effects of the cream. Over acne and irritated skin it really lives up to its name - Cool and Soothe! I use this as a final layer in my PM routine, mostly to promote healing of acne, especially those that are past their peak. In contrast, the Medicica cream is a part of my AM routine, being lighter in texture and much more effective at combating swelling and redness of active breakouts.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">I also welcome its barrier supportive ingredients, as my skin needs all the healing help it can get!</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">You can use the cream in the morning too, Swati has been using it for many months now in her AM routine and shares her love for this gem with me. </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWO9aPn3W8C24gRE22ygJaleXqZuOj7hd9prjiv2Ls8UVHPB-TwxBm1qoXddf40EbcT-DY0vjUb1hA47As4OfPw2BTVzv_TuoeRRnix3wRAXd1TX8z9d6HhlVdK-hpW3OQcS5QapU-t35YGZPvxsZF7-z1oan-aQlKN--96sDAJkirXoeqqmZDFOSj-A/s5328/20220323090254_IMG_4306-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream review, Keep Cool and Soothe, Keep Cool and Soothe India" border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="5328" height="596" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWO9aPn3W8C24gRE22ygJaleXqZuOj7hd9prjiv2Ls8UVHPB-TwxBm1qoXddf40EbcT-DY0vjUb1hA47As4OfPw2BTVzv_TuoeRRnix3wRAXd1TX8z9d6HhlVdK-hpW3OQcS5QapU-t35YGZPvxsZF7-z1oan-aQlKN--96sDAJkirXoeqqmZDFOSj-A/w795-h596/20220323090254_IMG_4306-01.jpeg" title="Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Cream, Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream review, Keep Cool and Soothe, Keep Cool and Soothe India" width="795" /></a></div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">Price : 21.90 USD for 50 ml (approximately 1645 INR)</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">In my opinion, the Keep Cool and Soothe Phyto Greenpair Cream is a good pick for anyone dealing with dehydrated, irritated and sensitized skin because it hydrates and moisturizes, and cools. It also is well suited to anyone looking to heal their skin post-acne or any other breakouts. It's also a good option to keep your skin barrier strong & healthy.

It protects the skin from UV damage (free radicals), it is also an anti-inflammatory (helps reduce redness & irritation), anticarcinogenic & antimicrobial. Because of these properties, it is a fantastic ingredient to add to your skincare routine. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But, just like everything else out there, there are different qualities of green tea extracts (</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(73, 85, 96);">depending on climate, season, age of the leaf and how it was grown)</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.

It promotes a healthier scalp & stimulates the hair follicles which can help boost hair growth. </li><li>It absorbs excess sebum and redistributes the oils produced by the scalp better throughout the hair length as your brush.</li><li>It's gentler on the hair, doesn't tug or pull as much, which leads to less hair damage & breakage.</li><li>It's hypoallergenic.</li><li>More sustainable. </li></ul></div><div>I've used a plastic comb for years before I got a wooden one and let me tell you that you are bound to notice a difference once you make the switch. With consistent use, it just makes the hair a lot healthier and you won't be able to go back to plastic. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdcx44jyspNEyxlQooYyRpfiTeK1-xhivXri-HGdWIfoTk-2HXBggWn1JnOirgYq7C8Iw6m7w0c24ImaEcsIN8c76mEhfiJUDkutsWpdJuvn96YteJqeN9ioTIJCOTbBdf46S6XeXOD1zguXuVOdwaN41424Rin9E2Ka6ILxrixs327dJNixPenvrsQ/s5328/20220326121750_IMG_4409-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tek Hair Brush, Tek Hair Brush review, Tek wooden brush, best wooden brush, best wooden brush review, wooden brush india" border="0" data-original-height="5328" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdcx44jyspNEyxlQooYyRpfiTeK1-xhivXri-HGdWIfoTk-2HXBggWn1JnOirgYq7C8Iw6m7w0c24ImaEcsIN8c76mEhfiJUDkutsWpdJuvn96YteJqeN9ioTIJCOTbBdf46S6XeXOD1zguXuVOdwaN41424Rin9E2Ka6ILxrixs327dJNixPenvrsQ/w480-h640/20220326121750_IMG_4409-01.jpeg" title="Tek Hair Brush, Tek Hair Brush review, Tek wooden brush, best wooden brush, best wooden brush review, wooden brush india" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Okay, coming back to Tek. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>There are some key features in their natural brushes which make all the difference</b> between a Tek brush and other wooden brushes : </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The body is made of Ash Wood. It's a single piece of wood & there are no joints. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">You won't find hair getting caught or stuck in crevices, like many other brushes. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The pins are Hornbeam Wood. This wood is more flexible which makes the pins pass through hair easily. </span></li><li>The brush has a soft rubber base made of 100% pure natural rubber. It is softer, antistatic and biodegradable. </li><li>You'll notice a missing pin on the brush - this is intentional. It lets air pass through as your use the brush, making it pneumatic! </li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Their natural brushes & combs are treated with linseed oil & beeswax or carnauba wax which makes them more durable and waterproof. </span></li></ul></div><div style="text-align: left;">Tek makes brushes of different sizes and pin lengths to suit different hair types. <span style="font-family: inherit;">I have medium-long length hair.

It's a little hard to describe how they feel on the scalp and hair, in words, but just know that it's very different and so much better than anything else I have used before. It has the right amount of give and feel... And it's just one of those things you have to use to see the difference & once you do, I am sure you won't ever go back. I am a convert and a loyal customer for life now. And while I have been using it for only a short while, I am sure they will last for years if I take good care of them. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>xoxo,</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Swati</i></div>Swatihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12137315538395892136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664415573493966704.post-37467303415379354152022-03-20T19:45:00.039+05:302022-04-25T15:58:45.040+05:30Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence Review<div style="text-align: left;">My journey into the wonderful world of essences started with the <a href="https://www.curiosanddreams.com/2021/02/cosrx-advanced-snail-mucin-96-power.html" target="_blank">Cosrx<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Snail Essence</span></a> which also happened to be my first snail based product.

Rich in protein and vitamins, Snail Filtrate helps to smooth and improve skin texture. Combined with 2% Bee Venom, EGF (a Nobel prize ingredient) and a host of botanical-based natural ingredients, the filtrate-infused essence delivers skin-lifting and age-fighting benefits; it melts into skin to hydrate, repair and relieve rough, damaged patches whilst diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier. Cooling and moisturising, the all-in-one formula lends the complexion a brighter, smoother look. </span></i></span><span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="color: #444444;">Apply after toner and before your serum/moisturizer step.</span></i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Ingredients</b> : <i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white;">Aqua (Water), <b>Snail Secretion Filtrate</b>, Butylene Glycol, <b>Glycerin</b>, <b>Niacinamide</b>, 1,2-Hexanediol, <b>Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice</b>, <b>sh-Oligopeptide-1</b>, <b>Bee Venom</b>, Plantago Asiatica Extract, Laminaria Digitata Extract (seaweed), Diospyros Kaki Leaf Extract (persimmon), Salix Alba (<b>Willow) Bark Extract</b>, Ulmus Campestris (Elm) Bark Extract, Althaea Rosea Root Extract (hollyhock), <b>Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract</b>, <b>Beta-Glucan</b>, <b>Betaine</b>, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, <b>Adenosine</b>, <b>Panthenol</b>, <b>Allantoin</b>, Pentylene Glycol, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract, Polysorbate 20, Lecithin, <b>Arginine</b></span><b> </b></span></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Essential oil-free ; Fragrance-free; Alcohol-free ; pH balanced (5-7)</span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">I believe this was reformulated recently.

This is almost like a serum in my routine. I follow it up with a moisturizer. Since it was winter, I needed to use 2 full pumps. I think I will be able to get away with 1-1.5 pumps during the hot summer months. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">It adds decent hydration. I like to build some more hydrating layers on days when the weather it's drier or my skin is feeling more dehydrated. But for most days, this paired with a light toner/essence & moisturizer is enough. </span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">It improves skin texture with regular use - I felt my skin become smoother & soft.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Snail mucin in general makes the skin very supple. You might not see a huge transformative result while using it, but once you take snail out of the routine you will notice a difference. I found the same when I was using the </span><a href="https://www.curiosanddreams.com/2021/02/cosrx-advanced-snail-mucin-96-power.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Cosrx snail essence</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. But this went one step further and my skin looked & felt a lot smoother. It wasn't instantaneous, I used the essence consistently for 3 months and I started noticing changes after a month. I'd attribute this to the niacinamide, bee venom & peptide in the formula. </span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Helps maintain a healthy skin barrier.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>I'm not sure what's the % of Niacinamide in the formula, but it high up in the ingredient list (5th) so you can expect slight brightening & sebum regulating benefits. It can also help slightly with breakouts, although I didn't notice a lot of difference in this aspect</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Layers well with other products.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Compared to plain snail mucin, the Benton Snail Bee Essence has additional benefits: Bee venom & Adenosine help with fine lines. Bee Venom has also been found to be soothing ; Niacinamide offers acne soothing benefits along with some brightening ; Aloe is soothing, protects & moisturizes the skin. </span></li></ul></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Price : ~1450 INR for 60ml</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><a href="https://sublimelife.in/collections/benton?ref=SWATIRAM&utm_source=affiliate" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Benton is now available on Sublime Life - Code CD10 gives 10%off</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It will work for all skin types but will work especially well for mature skin and oily-combination skin, acne prone skin</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">* I recommend doing a patch test just to rule out allergies to any of the ingredients (particularly snail mucin & bee venom).</span></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjznmcndo_z7I6mt1eXeeDD3XRk9_LMI9F4lWet7gLQDHP5jYl28Ug3SPnR-FThHBiyLY3ydiSq4ECtLwIOYurUQoTZ_cAuS2bcPFlOOv66R9dKpRUWik1yOZdj4GHGzt59wvK73PEve4txWQvpcaCFiW44XNuBeTHOHMzDm7sWW0cOtrjVPF9EF46iuQ/s5328/20220322094300_IMG_4247-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence, Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence Review, Benton Snail Bee, Benton essence review, Benton india" border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="5328" height="594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjznmcndo_z7I6mt1eXeeDD3XRk9_LMI9F4lWet7gLQDHP5jYl28Ug3SPnR-FThHBiyLY3ydiSq4ECtLwIOYurUQoTZ_cAuS2bcPFlOOv66R9dKpRUWik1yOZdj4GHGzt59wvK73PEve4txWQvpcaCFiW44XNuBeTHOHMzDm7sWW0cOtrjVPF9EF46iuQ/w793-h594/20220322094300_IMG_4247-01.jpeg" title="Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence, Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence Review, Benton Snail Bee, Benton essence review, Benton india" width="793" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">So which Snail Essence should you pick up?</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">It comes down to your skin condition & concerns.</span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, the <a href="https://www.curiosanddreams.com/2021/02/cosrx-advanced-snail-mucin-96-power.html" target="_blank">Cosrx Snail Essence (reviewed here)</a> is a 100ml bottle that lasts 6 months easily if not more. The 60ml Benton bottle lasted ~3 to 31/2 months for me with twice a day everyday use. Which makes the Cosrx Snail Essence better value for money. It is also pretty much pure snail mucin - 96% & has a minimal ingredient list. So if you just want plain snail & more hydration or have sensitive/irritated/sensitized skin then Cosrx Snail Essence is a good option. </span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">However, if you want to incorporate snail mucin in your routine but don't want or like the slight stringy texture of snail mucin or have oily skin, the Benton one is great. It's also the better pick if Hyaluronic Acid doesn't suit your skin. Additionally, if you want added benefits for well-ageing brightening, anti-acne benefits & post-breakout care then Benton gives you that since it has other beneficial ingredients in the formula. </span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Both the products are fantastic & I will keep switching between them depending on my needs & skin condition. I have finished one bottle, I am on my 2nd one and I have a backup already.....if that doesn't say how much I like the Benton Snail Bee Essence, I don't know what else will :)</span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">xoxo,</span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Swati</span></i></div></div>Swatihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12137315538395892136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664415573493966704.post-61468364900454388072022-03-19T10:35:00.016+05:302022-04-07T11:33:13.519+05:30Dear Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #262626;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">I am running so behind schedule for product reviews, it's not even funny anymore. The list is growing each day and I want to just get down to it now. So, today let me introduce you to my favourite product for double cleansing - <b>Dear Kairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing oil</b>! I adore it!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">When it comes to double cleansing, I prefer oils to balms, and I'll tell you why: </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">At the end of the day, when I'm usually tired and just want to hit the bed, opening a jar & scooping the balm out feels like a chore (it's a trivial problem I know, actually not really a problem but then it is what it is). It's good enough that I am willing to double cleanse & not sleep with makeup on! I want the process to be as quick as possible. Hence cleansing oils...n</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">ot only are the pump bottles handy, but the fact that it's already in a liquid form & doesn't need to be melted into one is also great.</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">Anyway, I had been using the Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil earlier, and while it is nice, it is also very expensive. When I got into Kbeauty a couple of years back, I had to explore the options they had. It didn't take me long to get the Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil. And it was love after a week of use. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4uLExz_V--LDcD2GT5ib5E1jNQgczwjD5xUVDYjWo6fJNZwate_sUH7oIXbX5ZThEvM4kXRPlEKpgtrLIlhOgkgSHOjVvdWVsd_S13yweYUAouaQcDtVvd0C6CI3Ns-kt6n92ok6He2y-BKZhT7GEtvcqHltlVGCr7orBdjgrUPz8xsdMQo1ZcftcxA=s5935" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img alt="Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil, Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil review, Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil india, Klairs india, Klairs cleansing oil, Klairs cleansing oil review, Klairs cleansing oil india" border="0" data-original-height="3957" data-original-width="5935" height="531" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4uLExz_V--LDcD2GT5ib5E1jNQgczwjD5xUVDYjWo6fJNZwate_sUH7oIXbX5ZThEvM4kXRPlEKpgtrLIlhOgkgSHOjVvdWVsd_S13yweYUAouaQcDtVvd0C6CI3Ns-kt6n92ok6He2y-BKZhT7GEtvcqHltlVGCr7orBdjgrUPz8xsdMQo1ZcftcxA=w799-h531" title="Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil, Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil review, Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil india, Klairs india, Klairs cleansing oil, Klairs cleansing oil review, Klairs cleansing oil india" width="799" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); letter-spacing: 0.14px;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); letter-spacing: 0.14px;">A mild cleansing oil made up of 85% light and refreshing vegetable oil.

Of course, it shines for almost every other product category too. They just make their formulas so elegant. I love it! So, I've tried a few Korean sunscreens lately and of course, I had to share them with you. Let's begin with one brand today - Isntree.</span></span></div><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">Did you know that Isntree makes 3 sunscreens? Yes, you heard me right. They make a chemical sunscreen, a physical sunscreen and wait for it... a sunscreen stick! </span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">All 3 are fragrance-free, alcohol-free & essential oil-free - isn't that wonderful?

caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">It is not very thick and pasty like most mineral sunscreens. Instead, the consistency is spreadable & creamy. It doesn't </span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">feel heavy or uncomfortable & doesn't feel very drying either. This t</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">akes a couple of minutes to mesh with the skin - it starts out feeling moisturizing & but give it some time (5min or so) and it begins to settle down to a semi-matte finish. It also makes the skin look smoother.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">However, it tends to cling to dry patches (if you have any) & emphasize them. I make sure that my skin is well hydrated & moisturized before using this sunscreen. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">There's a slight white cast, on my skin tone. It's not very noticeable & gives a similar effect to a Korean tone up cream...It almost goes away once I pat it in & give it some time. Make sure to double cleanse if you are using a physical sunscreen...they tend to latch on the skin for their dear life & so it's important to clean it off thoroughly. </span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">It d</span></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">oesn't work too well for reapplication & tends to get patchy.

It cleanses my skin well, without stripping it. I haven't noticed major brightening effects in this short span of time, but since it's a wash-off product I would need to use it for longer. However, I notice that my skin feels noticeably smoother whenever I use it....perhaps because this has Glycolic Acid (AHA) & Papaya extracts (enzyme exfoliant).</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Price : 549 INR for 100ml</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2) Clarity</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Ingredients : </i><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(30, 80, 71);"><span style="color: #444444;"><i>Aqua, Glycerine, Decyl Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Polyethylene Glycol-150 Distearate, Salicylic Acid, Polysorbate 80, Phenoxyethanol And Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green Tea), Tea Tree Magic, Menthyl Lactate, Menthol, DiMethyl DiMethylol Hydantoin, Di Sodium EDTA.</i></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This has a mild minty scent & leaves a cool sensation on the skin. Since it contains Salicylic Acid (BHA), it will help to decongest pores & keep them clean, thereby reducing comedones & potential breakouts. The formula also has a small amount of Green Tea & Tea Tree extracts (probably less </span></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">than 1% since it comes after Phenoxyethanol in the INCI list). This variant is</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: inherit;"> a good option for oily skin, combination skin prone to breakouts and congestion (blackheads & whiteheads).

I didn't get that dry stretchy feeling post-wash, which is great...I really detest that squeaky clean feeling. The cleansers will remove dirt, grime & normal sunscreen...however, if you are wearing makeup and waterproof sunblock then I recommend doing a double cleanse (use micellar water, cleansing oil or balm first). </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In my opinion, these cleansers are worth looking into and a good option especially for anyone looking to introduce their skin to chemical exfoliants. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">Since these are wash-off products, they won't stay on the skin for more than 60 seconds making them ideal for beginners.

It has an ultra fine tip which makes it very easy to draw thin hair like strokes. Since I have thicker brows, I like to fill in just the gaps which I think works better for me and gives me a more natural look. I have the mini of the pencil, which sadly doesn't come with a spoolie, but the full size has one on the other end. Will I repurchase it? Ummm... Probably sometime, if I find it on a good deal. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The NYX micro brow pencil is pretty similar to this one & is at a much better price, so that's the one I usually repurchase. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg-MFDPsn2-ICmByCp6-4BXhFtDDqWbHgvDXm1bLLazOd9ROoDWP1X5WFsFiD8X20VUAR2QTwT7VA36pmu6RxvLIysoXctmAsAhd1yMRsvqBKMax0CozxQsESWL4Hw_j3MyGllgMMILZa9SK7LnyTJxPKy4-lLsKM2Fu35rgZPkX5yUAHMxgYfLZUHEvw=s6000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil review, Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil Review, Benefit Gimme Brow+ review, Benefit 24-Hr Brow Setter review, Benefit Brows, Benefit India" border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg-MFDPsn2-ICmByCp6-4BXhFtDDqWbHgvDXm1bLLazOd9ROoDWP1X5WFsFiD8X20VUAR2QTwT7VA36pmu6RxvLIysoXctmAsAhd1yMRsvqBKMax0CozxQsESWL4Hw_j3MyGllgMMILZa9SK7LnyTJxPKy4-lLsKM2Fu35rgZPkX5yUAHMxgYfLZUHEvw=w424-h640" title="Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil review, Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil Review, Benefit Gimme Brow+ review, Benefit 24-Hr Brow Setter review, Benefit Brows, Benefit India" width="424" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i>4) 24-Hr Brow Setter ( <a href="https://nyk0.page.link/yZx5SrMgfPTpmNKS7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">available here</a> )</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">While I've been blessed with thicker bushy brows, the hair strands always fall downwards which makes the brows look sad & droopy. This clear gel works wonderfully to lift up & hold the hair in place all day long. Nothing keeps my brow hair as disciplined as this gel. On days when I have time I use a pencil to define & fill in the brows and follow up with the gel. Most days though I use the gel alone to keep the brows looking groomed. It's become my No.1 must have brow product! Highly recommend it ❤️</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhbpcKY3PGooewxQwqmTUxEkA1i39AhTZoiewtSEyf2IrvPa-2DfEZZwOf9V5qVDKq0ynNmEBuMi84uKT-GAkCLQwM03QkT8zx5Xih0L4RJGVihdU-ihg47NTBCPnTWeCfdlrIkNgG7wOWqlDEVTvLTxeXc8mzeMPmJzhr-T8F6go0nJ6920NJp1OkJaw=s6000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil review, Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil Review, Benefit Gimme Brow+ review, Benefit 24-Hr Brow Setter review, Benefit Brows, Benefit India" border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="529" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhbpcKY3PGooewxQwqmTUxEkA1i39AhTZoiewtSEyf2IrvPa-2DfEZZwOf9V5qVDKq0ynNmEBuMi84uKT-GAkCLQwM03QkT8zx5Xih0L4RJGVihdU-ihg47NTBCPnTWeCfdlrIkNgG7wOWqlDEVTvLTxeXc8mzeMPmJzhr-T8F6go0nJ6920NJp1OkJaw=w794-h529" title="Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil review, Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil Review, Benefit Gimme Brow+ review, Benefit 24-Hr Brow Setter review, Benefit Brows, Benefit India" width="794" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQH0Geo1924jL60x58KgN3M99fvIKy5SyrmtLP-GXtZ5QRKIM5vLzCtw65WwV5E5VzGPxX9jVRbS9iEvq6juE3iz0jWvItAut4YkWmX0JhxJc-oJojhY9eDiESuN9zEm0cc7QNPlW0QpvEnVJd9LQaZzxmFRMiSp7JRb3iAqvEVuJKkWmnw_yK3tSyCQ=s5012" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil review, Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil Review, Benefit Gimme Brow+ review, Benefit 24-Hr Brow Setter review, Benefit Brows, Benefit India" border="0" data-original-height="5012" data-original-width="3344" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQH0Geo1924jL60x58KgN3M99fvIKy5SyrmtLP-GXtZ5QRKIM5vLzCtw65WwV5E5VzGPxX9jVRbS9iEvq6juE3iz0jWvItAut4YkWmX0JhxJc-oJojhY9eDiESuN9zEm0cc7QNPlW0QpvEnVJd9LQaZzxmFRMiSp7JRb3iAqvEVuJKkWmnw_yK3tSyCQ=w428-h640" title="Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil review, Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil Review, Benefit Gimme Brow+ review, Benefit 24-Hr Brow Setter review, Benefit Brows, Benefit India" width="428" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here's a quick look at the applicators and the tips of the products to give you an idea.

This cult-favorite, multifunctional toner helps make your skin clear and bright, while also preventing premature signs of aging. Despite its potent ingredients, the toner is non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested, and suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Its low pH (5.5) ensures that your skin maintains its optimal pH balance. </span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><i>AHA, BHA and PHA have different molecular sizes which allow them to work both on the surface and deeper within your skin to clear out dead skin buildup, unclog pores and reduce moisture loss. Witch Hazel extract along with the AHAs found in Papaya fruit extract, increases cell turnover to help reduce hyperpigmentation. It also soothes easily irritated skin with 10,000 ppm of Tea Tree Leaf Water and promotes clear skin. Adenosine and Niacinamide help target fine lines and wrinkles, as well as reduce dullness.</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><i> </i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">The formula is free of artificial fragrance and colors, parabens, sulfates, alcohol, mineral oil, and silicone. </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white;">- Contains 10,000 ppm of tea tree leaf extract that soothes and clarifies skin</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">- Removes dead skin cells and impurities without irritation.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">- Helps balance skin issues caused due to excess sebum production</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><i>- Suitable for all skin types</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><b><i>I</i></b></span><b style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><i>ngredients : </i></b></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><i>Water, Butylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, <b>Glycerin</b>, <b>Niacinamide</b>, Melaleuca Alternifolia (<b>Tea</b> <b>Tree</b>) Leaf Extract (10000ppm), Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Carica Papaya (<b>Papaya</b>) Fruit Extract, Lens Esculenta (<b>Lentil</b>) Seed Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (<b>Witch Hazel</b>) Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera (Sacred <b>Lotus</b>) Flower Extract, Swiftlet Nest Extract, <b>Sodium Hyaluronate</b>, Fructan, <b>Allantoin</b>, <b>Adenosine</b>, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Xylitol, <b>Salicylic Acid</b> (100ppm), Lactobionic Acid (100ppm), Citric Acid (500ppm), Sodium Citrate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Benzyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Raspberry Ketone, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil</i></span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"><div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #262626;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: inherit;">AHA: Natural AHAs from Papaya Fruit Extract, help remove dead skin and reduce hyperpigmentation </span></li><li><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: inherit;">BHA: Salicylic Acid helps unclog pores and control sebum production, while also clearing blackheads and whiteheads.</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: inherit;"> </span></li><li><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: inherit;">PHA: Lactobionic acid is a gentle exfoliant that reduces moisture loss and helps clear skin.</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: inherit;"> </span></li><li><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: inherit;">Tea Tree Leaf Extract: 10,000 ppm tea tree leaf extract helps clear acne triggers and soothe the skin.</span></li></ul></div><div style="color: #262626;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #262626;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;">The toner comes in a green coloured transparent plastic bottle with a screw on cap.

Apart from the high concentration of the star ingredient, it also contains Panthenol, which we all know and love for its soothing and barrier-supportive properties. Sodium Hyaluronate is always welcome, especially with my dehydrated skin. It helps retain water inside the skin layers making it look plumper and more bouncy.

This time it performed so much better for me, showing once again that weather plays an important role in skincare too.... it has been a regular in my skincare routine for the past month, and I've been really enjoying it.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white;">Two drops is all I need in my morning routine, after mist or toner. I like to be extra, so I add an essence too most days. It layers perfectly over other products bringing much needed hydration during the winter. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white;">Since it packs a ton of nourishment & helps to retain moisture in the skin, I'm not surprised to see my skin looking soft and dewy, very much glass-like, whenever I apply the CosRx Propolis Light Ampoule. I might not repurchase it immediately since I won't be able to use this when summer hits, but it will make it back to my routine for winters. </span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj24oG8VOG1ZpMwfGua0Eqd8dzHI9bZi5KMc3eVE8hrtGsCcvQeTP3Ir1pQBA5KHQw2YyqgX_OVcCwMJGTsAECI1QnRP7URVprMyNRay05eGDpHNU7u5buqeL4mGo00m-sepq8gd87uOtGxqVBnGgdzBUJStC66kB__b8bEi1O5y1_WkceTwg4ibHYh4Q=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cosrx Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule Review, Cosrx Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule, Cosrx india, Cosrx Propolis" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj24oG8VOG1ZpMwfGua0Eqd8dzHI9bZi5KMc3eVE8hrtGsCcvQeTP3Ir1pQBA5KHQw2YyqgX_OVcCwMJGTsAECI1QnRP7URVprMyNRay05eGDpHNU7u5buqeL4mGo00m-sepq8gd87uOtGxqVBnGgdzBUJStC66kB__b8bEi1O5y1_WkceTwg4ibHYh4Q=w423-h640" title="Cosrx Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule Review, Cosrx Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule, Cosrx india, Cosrx Propolis" width="423" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Who is it for?</b></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I think a wide spectrum of skin types will enjoy this ampoule : Combination skin in the winters - all the way upto dry skin which can use it all year round.

A small spatula is provided, but I tend to use my (clean) finger instead. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.02em;"><span><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.32px;">The texture is exactly what you would picture from the name - a water gel cream that almost looks like a runny pudding & will spill out of the tub if you tilt the tub, so be careful. It s</span>preads incredibly well and you only need a small amount. If I get carried away & use more, it can feel a little heavy on my combination skin.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhEHXaMMnwMJxh2Bs4bJc6DNtG_4oTSbQpqJ7954HkhR4MmcNqI-SCTTTIh-Pm3LDwomZheM3OvGsZJGkHJY_Y0JJbSAeiOz72IpkMTsnckv5Oe24YdhqqvNPzVTXkuruMP0uEwxC9jCWLmtE4i6IOJtu1fh0YtJuST5MoCfoo7clSPdKN0SsO-kwt4Yg=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream, Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream review, Klairs Cream, Klairs india, Korean moisturizer india" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhEHXaMMnwMJxh2Bs4bJc6DNtG_4oTSbQpqJ7954HkhR4MmcNqI-SCTTTIh-Pm3LDwomZheM3OvGsZJGkHJY_Y0JJbSAeiOz72IpkMTsnckv5Oe24YdhqqvNPzVTXkuruMP0uEwxC9jCWLmtE4i6IOJtu1fh0YtJuST5MoCfoo7clSPdKN0SsO-kwt4Yg=w423-h640" title="Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream, Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream review, Klairs Cream, Klairs india, Korean moisturizer india" width="423" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It gives a good dose of deep hydration immediately, something I see from all the products in the Fundamental range. Once you work & pat it in, it also gives moisture, but not the heavy, greasy or oily kind. It leaves a slightly dewy glow. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It feels so good once it absorbs into the skin and my skin feels plump & bouncy with the right balance of hydration & moisture whenever I use it. There is enough occlusivity in the formula which helps protect my skin from dehydration. While I can use this all year round by controlling the amount I use, I especially like using it in fall-winter, when the weather starts getting drier. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Price : 2350 INR for 70ml ( available on <a href="https://beautybarn.in/product/dear-klairs-fundamental-water-gel-cream-70ml/" target="_blank">Beautybarn</a>)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Who I think it will work for?</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Most skin types will enjoy this except people with very oily or very dry skin - Extremely oily skin will find it to be very moisturizing & it won't be moisturizing enough for very dry skins. So if you lie anywhere in the middle of the spectrum, the Fundamental Water Gel Cream should work for you. </div><div style="text-align: left;">I think it is a great pick especially for combination skin which tends to lean on the dehydrated-dry side. And it will work well for those with sensitive skin.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Do I like it? Absolutely! The formula is beautiful, the ingredients are fantastic and it does all the things I want a moisturizer to do. Will I repurchase it? Not immediately, but hopefully I will sometime. Being a premium line product it is on the expensive side, and if I have to choose one, I love their Midnight Calming Cream a little bit more. So that's the one I repurchase over & over again. Having said that, if I want a change especially in the colder season, I will definitely consider the Fundamental Water Gel Cream. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>xoxo,</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Swati</i></div>Swatihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12137315538395892136noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664415573493966704.post-72022950777282995492021-12-05T10:11:00.004+05:302021-12-05T22:19:16.478+05:30Best Christmas Carrot Cupcakes : Easy Baking Recipe<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Freshly baked carrot cupcakes with a touch of cinnamon & the cold weather are a match made in heaven!

Put these words in the description of a product and I am definitely interested in picking it up. This is why I got hold of the Beauty Of Joseon Calming Serum. I didn't really need it as I had a fair share of calming products already.

There are days, especially now in the winter, when I add a thin layer of the Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter over it which dials things up a notch - my eyes feel extremely pampered & cocooned in goodness. Or some days I just layer my regular basic moisturizer over it. </span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>For me, the gel tightens & depuffs the under-eye area slightly which is helpful on days when I wake up with mild puffiness. I apply the gel under the eyes and use my ring finger to gently massage the area. It smoothens the fine lines, to an extent. This effect is temporary and I don't expect it to be permanent either - if I stop taking care of the eye area, those lines will come back. </li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>In terms of dark circles, I don't think it will have a huge effect, especially if the cause is internal or hereditary or due to bone structure. But if there is darkness due to dehydration or dryness & subsequent rubbing & friction, the gel will help reduce that.

It would also work incredibly well for people in their</span> late teens or in their 20s. You can definitely use it if you are older, I do! It's packed with a bunch of fabulous ingredients and I love using it in the morning because of how hydrating the formula is while not being too heavy. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>xoxo,</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Swati</i></div>Swatihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12137315538395892136noreply@blogger.com0
