Gentle – harsh – fresh! My dear new face wash :)

 As much as I like to believe that outer appearance of a product reveals how it will actually be, I tend to get the opposite results each time!
Recently it happened while I was selecting a face wash! Since having an acne prone skin – I always prefer medicated face washes over highly chemically treated or fancy face washes.
Recently I got my hands on Cetaphil Facewash, I had read a lot about it, but never bothered to use!
But since my skin is quiet sensitive, I decided I needed to take a decision and stick onto one trusted brand!
So I tried this gentle cleanser. It’s so gentle, that it does not lather up not does it leave your skin dry like the other anti-acne face washes.

Texture – So smooth!
It’s ultra light texture leaves your skin feeling super moisturized! Do not expect to feel super energized and fresh like the Aloe vera face washes or feel super dry like the typical foaming face washes for acne prone skin.

But this will make you feel nothing but happy and moisturized. Smoothly it’s up your skin, gently it penetrates and cleanses the dirt from your skin and gradually with time it will relieve your skin from the acne and pigmentation * give it time please as it works very mildly!
FYI 
Please do not expect it to clean off the makeup, since its  very mild and not recommended to clean off the layers of makeup off your face!

Active ingredients - Water, cetyl alcohol, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearyl alcohol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben.

Need to worry?
Parabens are used to prevent the growth of microbes in cosmetic products and can be absorbed through the skin, blood and digestive system very easily. Four of these occur frequently in cosmetics: ethylparaben, butylparaben, methylparaben and propylparaben. 
Greatest concern is that parabens are known to disrupt hormone function, an effect that is linked to increased risk of breast cancer and reproductive toxicity. Parabens mimic estrogen by binding to estrogen receptors on cells and causes human breast tumor cells to grow and multiply in cellular studies

I see 3 of the parabens in the facewash – Big Reason to Worry my friends!
P.S – Whenever you buy a personal care product , please watch out for this nasty ingredient!

Affordable Sleeping Mask – CUCUMBER & ALOE @ MINIMONO BANGKOK

Image
The other day I went to MINIMONO, the affordable store in Bangkok with everything priced at 60 Baht under one roof. I walked in with an intention to buy the quirky yet cheap products, but I landed up with my eyes popped out at this sleeping mask priced at 80 baht. A sleeping mask this cheap? No one would risk their skin, but I am here to experiment and share my views. Also, a sleeping mask with Aloe Vera and Cucumber. What could really go wrong with both the healing ingredients. So firstly, this product has the same fragrance as your HERBAL FACIALS/CLEAN UPS in Indian beauty parlors gave you. Oh how I used to love it, that earthy smell. The texture – who are the kidding? It’s not a mask mask. It’s a light-textured cream that can be applied as desired. As in, you can mask it or play around with the consistency on your face with a handful of it. Since it is feature- light, not greasy and not thick as all these MASKS claim to be. Minimono Thailand Smooth textur...

Chamomile Tea, try it!

Image
This must be my first ever cup of chamomile tea. Usually my office pantry stocks a variety of Twinings teas, ranging from green tea, to chamomile to Lemon and more... I, being a complete green tea drinker, usually never land up trying any of the other varieties. But since I had bit of stomach upset this morning , it suddenly dawned on me, I need something milder and little more soothing than a green tea or a coffee. After having 3 cups of chamomile one after the other, I still feel so light on my stomach and so calm in my head. Though nothing like a kick from the morning coffee, I must say it has amazing soothing properties. Look for the…..   After – taste it leaves in your mouth, it reminds me somehow of  soaked and peeled almonds, that’s one reason I couldn’t stop drinking it.As a child I loved the almonds soaked overnight, I still do, but I am lazy and forgetful, so I need my mommy to do it :D Aiding Sleep They say chamomile is good...
