Lotus Teatreeclear face pack review

Lotus Teatreeclear face pack

What it claims?
No more pimples,acne,blemishes and spots.
Regular use of this tea tree clarifying face pack halps to get rid of pimples,acne blemishes and spots.Clarifies facial complexion and enhances facial brightness.
Directions: Wash your face with mild soap and blot dry.Apply a generous amount of TEATREECLEAR on face and neckleaving eyes.Relax till completely dry.Rinse with fresh water.Follow with ACNEGEL.
Active ingredients: Tea tree oil,petit grain,pine,juniper and bergamot.
Price: Rs.185 for 120g.
My experience: This pack fails to show any quick results.In the long run it helps to cure acne/acne marks if one uses it regularly.When I apply the pack it creates a burning sensation which is quite unbearable.The pack causes tingling sensation probably because of high amount of tea tree oil in it.The pack takes about 25/30 minutes to dry which is quite a long time,but keeping it for long only helps it to work better.This pack also soaks excess skin oil.Peolpe with dry and sensitive skin should stay away from this.
Will I buy this again? Never! There are several better face packs available to cure acne faster without causing any burning sensation.

In a nutshell,it is a v.good sunscreen for all skin types.

All you need to know about sunscreen

In this post you will find everything you need to know about sunscreen.
The full form of the term SPF is "sun protection factor".Excessive exposure to sun may cause skin cancer,burned skin,premature aging and various other skin problems.Sunscreens helps to protect our skin from harmful rays of the sun.
An SPF of 15 usually protects us for 2.5 hours,,i.e,if our skin has got the power to not get affected by sunrays for 10 minutes.Then SPF of 15 will protect us for : 15*10 =2.5 hours.
UVA is responsible for aging and UVB is responsible for skin burning.So use sunscreen accordingly.
Even the highest number of SPF cannot protect us from all the sun rays,so we need to stay under shadow whenever possible.
The percent of SPF do not vary greatly between different amount of SPF.
SPF 15 gives 92% of sun protection,while SPF 30 gives 97% sun protection and SPF 40 gives 97.% of sun protection.The difference of protection between SPF 15 and SPF 30 is great (5%), but the difference between SPF 30 and SPF 40 is minimal (0.5%).
Many people think that SPF value can be added.But it is not true.For example:if you apply a sunscreen of SPF 15 and then of 20,you will not have the protection of an SPF 35. You will only be getting the protection of an SPF 20.
Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before stepping out into the sun.Sunblocks starts to work as soon as we apply it,so one does not need to apply it before.The difference between sunscreen and sunblock is-Sunscreens contains chemicals that absorb UV rays before they damage the skin and sunblocks contain particles that physically block UV rays from reaching the skin.
Always make sure you wear a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 and also use waterproof or sweatproof sunscreen.Be sure to reapply another layer of sunscreen every two hours throughout the day if you are in the sun for more than 2 hours under intense UV conditions, and especially when you're sweating.
Sunscreen comes in different forms for different skin types-gel based,cream based,spray,lotion,etc.Also make sure to protect your lips and hair by using hair care and lipcare products with SPF of at least 15.You can also use a scarf,wear goggles/sunglasses to protect yourself from sun rays.
Experts, like osteopathic physician, Dr. Joseph Mercola, are now saying that direct exposure to sunlight is actually good for you. Of course you should always take precautions when spending long periods of time in the sun.As agreed upon by Dr. Mercola and other experts in the field, the best way to reap the benefits of vitamin D is through natural sunlight.Not only does direct sunlight provide us with vitamin D, it also triggers our skin to naturally produce it ourselves. This in turn supports cardiovascular health, promotes optimal cholesterol levels, enhances muscle strength, produces optimal blood pressure levels, helps maintain healthy immune systems, supports healthy kidney function, promotes healthy teeth, and keeps our bones strong and healthy.
Most adults should use about 35 ml or 1 oz. of sunscreen to cover their whole body.Opt for natural sunscreens.

Lotus‑safe‑sun‑3‑in‑1‑matte‑look

What it claims?
3-in-1 daily sunblock is a revolutionary sun protection formulation which combines broad-spectrum UVA(PA+++) AND UVB(SPF 40) protection with skin.Its fest aborbtion and non-greasy formula ensures a shine-free,light and clean feel.
Active ingredients: herbal extracts of birch,mallow and hops.
water,talcum,kaolin light,glycerin,polyacrylamidic13-14,isoparaffin laurth-7,oxybenzoene,octyl methoxycinnamate,titaniumdioxide,butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane,isopropylmyristare,cyclopenta siloxane,elcosene,copolymer,fumed silica,2-phenoxyethanol,methyl paraben,propyl paraben,methylcloroisothiazolinone,red iron oixide,yellow iron oxide,fragrance.
My experience: The sunblock is fluid in consistency,so sometimes it gets spilled off as soon as one begins to open the tube.The sunblock is tinted,so it gives an instant fair look but in real it never lightened my skin tone,however it may help those who have sun burned skin.The color of the sun block is just like a foundation.Many may hate its smell,but it soon goes away after application.The sun block stays matte if you do not sweat.But as my skin already sweats a lot,this sun block that leaves a cast on my face makes me sweat a lot extra.As my skin starts to sweat the tinted sun block starts to melt and if I wear light colored dress it tints my dress!!!!It makes me sweat a lot,just like any other commonly found sun screens,so this sun screen is absolutely "no no" for me!
Though it is matte,it will also suite people with dry(but it does not moisturizes).
After reading the review whether you want to buy this or not totally depends on you.

A very little amount is needed at a time,so the moisturizer stays very long.

Maybelline superstay lip color review (everlasting wine shade)

Maybelline superstay lipcolor(Everlasting wine)

Maybelline superstay lip color(lipstick) stays longer than the superstay lip gloss.It stay for about 8hours or sometimes even stays a bit longer if you take little extra care while eating,drinking or kissing,etc .If you eat oily food the lipcolor may get removed.Like the superstay lipgloss the lip color has got two parts-one side has the liquid color and the other side has conditioning balm.

The lip color has got two parts

You must not apply the color part very darkly or else it will chip off.Apply the color first on bare lips and wait for about two minutes until it dries,then apply the conditioning balm.The color I bought is "Everlasting wine 745 ".




It is dark red like wine,even can be said darker than wine.The color is perfect to wear in festivals.Those who prefer dark shades will love this color,however I do not prefer the color for regular use but I do love the dark red color of it.
  I can wear both the superstay colors I have either as lipstick or as lip gloss,this is the advantage the two parts of the lipcolors gives.I use the colored part on my lips and then either apply the lip gloss or lip balm that I get with them.The superstay lip gloss consists of a color and a clear gloss; the lip color consists of a color and a conditioning balm.
  Superstay lip color(lipstick) is a bit hard to remove,it takes a little extra time and gentleness is very necessary while removing the color.Unlike other longstay lip colors it never leaves your lips severally dry and cracked.But your lips should not be cracked if you decide to use this lipstick,or else it will make the cracks more visible .The best thing is to scrub you lips with lip balm on a baby tooth brush to get smooth lips.But your lips should be completely bare(no lip balm) when you apply the lip color.
  The price is reasonable compared to other longstay lipsticks-Rs.390.

Those who have round face should(which is long as much as it is wide) apply blusher starting from below the cheek bones and blend it well till where your ear starts.This will make your face look longer.Use a bit darker shade than your skin tone to make your face look more longer.
  If you have oblong face(longer than the wideness of face) and to make it look smaller,then apply blusher on your cheek bones,work it up and blend it well till your hair line.
  If you have square shaped face then also apply blusher on your cheek bones to make it look round shaped.Blend it well.
If you have oval shaped face then apply blusher at both the up and  down of your cheeks and blend it well in upward strokes.

To make your blush stay longer use powder blush on cream blush.If you do not have cream blush use your blush on your primer or moisturizer. A way to make natural blush is to rub beet root after applying moisturizer.

How to shampoo your hair?

learn to shampoo your hair correctly

Before doing shampoo massage your hair with hot oil(if you have dry hair)/hair tonic(if you have oily hair).
Remember to brush your hair well to loosen dirt before you shampoo.
Wet your hair and divide it into three divisions.You can keep the left and right divisions on your shoulders and the middle/back division on your back.Take 2/3 teaspoon of shampoo and mix it with some water,apply and then slowly massage it on your scalp.Bring the lather down to hairs till where it ends.The rule is to use more shampoo on your scalp and lesser on your hair length.The amount of shampoo you should use will depend on the length of your hair,your hair type(oily or dry) and on the shampoo you are using. Keep the shampoo on your scalp for 1/2 minutes to loosen dirt and then wash your hair well.
  Now soak your hair a little with a towel and apply wash-off conditioner only on your hair length.Gently brush your hair with your fingers to spread the conditioner evenly.Wait for 2/3 minutes and then wash off your hair with cold water.No need to use cold water on your scalp if you don't want to(for instance if you have sinus problem),just wash your hair length with it.Washing your hair with cold water will help you to get softer hair.
