Vedic Line Red Wine Crystal Collagen Mask Review

Today, I am reviewing a facial mask from Vedic Line called the Crystal Collagen Mask. When I got this one, I noticed the line "For 30+ and mature skin". Oh unlucky me, I am nearly just half a thirty so made my mom to try this. Few lines about Vedic Line brand as per the site are "Vedic Line provides innovative & effective daily care products for Face, Hair & Body. All speciality lines are designed for in-salon treatments & on-going treatments at home to restore or maintain youthful look. Vedic Line has optimum combination of Ayurvedic wisdom & modern scientific research. It uses most advanced active & natural ingredients for the best yet safest results. One can enjoy visibly healthier skin & hair initially & significant improvement overtime." Let me give a detailed review now.

Vedic Line Red Wine Crystal Collagen Mask


Price: Rs 250 per mask

Product Description and Ingredient List



My Views and Ratings

The Packaging
The product comes in a plastic wrapper and the mask is parted as 2 (open-able pieces as per the picture). We need to open the pack, drain the excess wine serum and take out the mask. Each piece of mask should be opened and placed on your facial skin. It is not that messy, so I would say the packaging good. No bad I see in it!
5/5


Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
The mask is honey is colour and it perfectly covers the whole face without any hardness and the removing procedure is easy too. To say about the fragrance, it's quite unexplainable. I have never smelt wine before :P but surely not a overpowering fragrance. The mask is too big for my face, so they give a huge size which becomes another plus. Nothing bad! The extra serum is quite thick and smooth too.
4.5/5 




How it Works
This collagen mask instantly brightened and softened my mom's skin however she needed a moisturizer after using this mask as she has extremely dry skin. She says that it had reduced her fine lines, wrinkles and scars up to an extent. Regular usage may repair the facial skin and gives a perfect glow for 30 + people. Overall, its a lovable mask, good to try. Still I expect some hydration. 
4.5/5

PROS
  1. Comes in a safe and travel friendly pack.
  2. No side effects, no breakouts.
  3. Brightens and softens skin instantly. A good pre-party pack.
  4. Firms skin up to an extent.
  5. Not that costly for the worth.
  6. I guess it will give younger skin with regular use.
  7. The mask easily sticks to the face and easily removable too.
  8. The extra serum is an extra plus.

CONS
  1. No cons, Just a little more hydration is needed for dry skins. It surely doesn't strip off moisture.
 My Recommendation: I surely recommend this to 30+ people, especially who have normal and oily skin types.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Will I Repurchase?: My mom will, for sure. :D

Vedic Line Sandalwood and Turmeric Moisturizer Review

Heya girls and girls! Good Morning. Now I will be reviewing a Sandalwood and Turmeric moisturizer from Vedic Line brand. First, let us know more about Vedic Line as this is my first product from them. As per their site, they say "Vedic Line provides innovative & effective daily care products for Face, Hair & Body. All speciality lines are designed for in-salon treatments & on-going treatments at home to restore or maintain youthful look. Vedic Line has optimum combination of Ayurvedic wisdom & modern scientific research. It uses most advanced active & natural ingredients for the best yet safest results. One can enjoy visibly healthier skin & hair initially & significant improvement overtime."  So being natural is always better, this moisturizer impressed me in first sight. I am using it for past 10 days and here comes my review.

Vedic Line Sandalwood & Turmeric Moisturizer


Price: Rs.220 for 200m; Rs.120 for 100ml

Product Description
Sandalwood: Has warm & spicy aroma. Heals and tones up skin.
Turmeric: Is antiseptic. Helps to give glow to skin.

Usage directions
Lightly apply on damp/moist skin. It will help to seal in moisture.

Shelf life: 3 years

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging
The 200ml pack comes in pump packaging (The one I got) and the 100ml one in flip type cap. It looks so lovely and cute, every squeeze is in control too. It is a transparent plastic bottle, very sturdy and thus it will be easy to find out how much product is left inside. Being hygienic and also travel friendly, I don't think it will create any mess. Perfect Packaging!
5/5


Colour, Consistency & Texture
I fell in love with the colour to be frank. It looks like a smooth butterscotch ice cream filled in the bottle. The moisturizer is in milky pale yellow colour and the texture is very smooth. The moisturizer is not thick or powdery, it has the ice cream consistency, neither thick nor too runny. Perfect for a light moisturizer. I can feel the turmeric and sandalwood smell in it and so the fragrance part is quite good too. Completely bearable for even sensitive noses, moreover it's very fresh and lovely.
4.5/5



How it works on Me
This sandalwood and turmeric moisturizer is for normal to dry & mature skin, though I tried it as the winter chillness doesn't completely get vanished off. This moisturizing cream should be used very little on normal and oily skin types, or else you will feel greasy. Dry skins will love this to core, it's a skin food for you in summers, winters and whatever the season is. This moisturizer spreads over my facial skin very smoothly and quickly, I needed just a single drop for my whole face. My skin was moisturized and fresh throughout the day, however oily skins may feel it a bit greasy. My mom tried this product and said it made her fine lines vanish a little. So overall, its a good product for normal to dry and mature skins as per the claim. I can't reduce ratings for the greasy feel as they doesn't claim for "Oily skins". but girls! Cheer up. There are many more variants in this range, check out their site for more info.

PROS
  1. Yummy butterscotch colour and smooth texture. The texture is perfect for a moisturizer.
  2. A good sandalwood + turmeric fragrance which I could really feel.
  3. Very affordable as you get a huge quantity for 220 bucks. You can get it more cheaper from leading online shopping sites. A single bottle will last for ages. A great buy!
  4. Hygienic and travel friendly pump bottle packaging.
  5. Doesn't show any side effects on my skin.
  6. Made my skin tight and soft with regular usage. 
  7. Reduces fine lines up to an extent has the ingredients have anti-aging properties.
  8. Sandalwood and Turmeric are the main ingredients. What natural you want more than these?!
  9. Great shelf life of 3 years.
  10. This is really a boon for dry and mature skins in all the seasons.
  11. Fresh and lovely fragrance.

CONS
  1. Availability is the only problem though you can easily get it from leading online shopping sites in great discounts.
My Recommendation: Dry skins would love it and stick to it! Perfect for normal skins in winter. And oily people, not for you. Try the other variants from this range.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Will I repurchase?: Sure. A single bottle will last for ages though :P

The Easiest Way To Get Tighter Skin

When we talk about tight skin, we’re referring to that smooth, elastic and supple skin that we all had in our youth - the kind that you had when you were a kid, or even in your early twenties. Unfortunately, with every passing year, our skin gets looser and looser, allowing wrinkles and sagging to appear much to our dismay. It’s bound to happen to everyone, since the breakdown of collagen and elastin, compounded with the damaging effects of the sun and unhealthy lifestyle habits, make our skin naturally weaker. In response to our disdain for saggy, wrinkled skin, the beauty industry has created a plethora of solutions, but many simply don’t work.


So what’s the easiest way to get tighter skin?

Well, the most effective method is a combination of prevention and maintenance combined with a treatment like BOTOX or laser skin tightening (both of which actually work!).

Prevention and Maintenance

These involve the following:

1. Protecting your skin from prolonged sun exposure, since UV rays have been scientifically linked to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin. Tanning is an unhealthy habit that accelerates the aging process, so make sure you cover up with a good sunscreen and stay out of the sun when it’s strongest.

2. Eating plenty of fresh vegetables, fruit and omega 3 rich foods, such as nuts and fatty fish. These are loaded with antioxidants to help fight against damaging free radicals that contribute to lax skin, as well strengthen and  moisturize the skin from within.

3. Follow a healthy lifestyle that involves a good exercise regimen, enough sleep and no smoking.

Laser Skin Tightening and BOTOX Are Effective Treatments

There are few things available on the market today that help with loose skin, and the safest and most effective can be found at a medical clinic. No, we’re not talking about surgery; rather, a treatment like laser skin tightening helps smooth away wrinkles and lax skin with intense light energy, which remodels the skin. Great results can be achieved
in a matter of months. Clinically proven to achieve dramatic results, BOTOX  is another treatment that erases wrinkles through an injection procedure, with results appearing in about a week and lasting for a few months. These treatments achieve results faster than other options in skin tightening.

If you already have loose skin, prevention and maintenance helps keep the problem from getting worse. Unfortunately, to address your current concerns, you’ll need to turn to medical treatments.

Auravedic Facial Skin Repair Moisturizing Lotion Review

Pollution, dirt and mistakes in daily diet routine make our skin look dull, lifeless and aged. To recover from all these skin issues, we need a good nourishing skin repair lotion. It should nourish our skin, penetrate deeper and work to clarify the skin issues. Today, I am reviewing a Facial Skin Repair Moisturizing lotion from Auravedic. We have already seen the review of Pulpy almond honey face wash from this brand and this is my second using product from them. I am so much impressed of this product at first sight for the "Skin Repair" claim. Who doesn't like their skin to be perfect? So, I have been using this cream for past few days and now comes my review.

Auravedic Facial Skin Repair Pure Nourishing Moisturizing Lotion 


Price: Rs. 200 for 100 ml

Shelf Life: 2 years

Ingredient List
Kokum butter, Mango butter, Beeswax, Sunflower Olive Oil, Almond oil, Grape seed extract, Olivem 1000, Oilwax, Neroli Oil, Purified water, Phenoxyethanol.

Claims of the Product
Auravedic's unique blend of nourishing bio-actives assists the skin's natural process of regeneration to help restore it's elasticity and suppleness while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. The lotion is easily absorbed and deeply penetrating.

Usage Instructions
Gently massage onto face & neck until completely & thoroughly absorbed. Use 2-3 times day or night.

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging
This product comes in a thick transparent plastic bottle with a press type inner lid and a silver coloured screw cap. The cap is stiff, hence this becomes travel friendly. And it would be easier for you to find how much product is left inside because of its transparency. I think you need to put a hole in the center of the inner lid in order to take the lotion out. I feel it a bit tricky and expecting some more easier packaging from Auravedic like tubes or squeeze types. Thank god it's not a tub! Hygienic bottle it is!
4/5


Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
The lotion is milk white in colour with a normal to runny consistency and smooth texture. To say about the fragrance, really I can't express it properly. It's a bit floral, bit herbal and a bit medicinal too. The fragrance is not fruity or sweet but still it has a bearable natural smell. Sensitive noses may feel a bit heavy but the smell gets milder few minutes after the application.
3.9/5

After Applying

How it works on Me
I squeezed a bit of lotion in my palm, dotted it all over my facial skin and started to massage. The lotion got absorbed quickly without leaving much greasy feel(but oily skins may feel a bit greasier) and it also doesn't leave any whitish caste over my facial skin. After few minutes, the greasy feel and the fragrance vanished. Then my skin felt so soft, smooth and nourished!  With regular use, it made my pores tighten and also helped in improving the texture of my skin. This is what I experienced with this facial skin repair lotion. As I don't have any wrinkles or fine lines, I can't say about this part but my aunt who used this felt it helps her wrinkles too. So, I guess it has anti aging properties also. Overall, I would say that it's a great pick for dry skins, normal skins (Night usage is best) and I don't think this will work on oily skins. The lotion doesn't break me out and doesn't give me any other side effects. It does what it claims because I really saw a good improvement over my skin's texture. Worth a try!
4.5/5

PROS
  1. Smooth texture which spreads easily over the skin.
  2. Contains natural ingredients like almond oil, olive oil and kokum butter.
  3. It is mentioned on the pack to use it 2-3 times a day, so I guess it's too light and natural over facial skin.
  4. No side effects. No break outs.
  5. Comes in a economical price for the good quantity.
  6. Tightens pores and improves the softness and elasticity of the skin.
  7. Works as a great moisturizer for dry skins. 
  8. Keeps skin nourished for long hours even though the texture is so light.
  9. No animal testing :D :D
  10. A single bottle lasts really long as a tiny squeeze of lotion is enough for the whole face and neck. So, I would say it as an affordable buy.
CONS
  1. Not for oily skins as it may give a slight oily feel. I am not sure about it, you can still try this lotion in dry winters.
  2. Packaging can be little improved. (Can't be taken a con, because it comes in a very hygienic bottle)
  3. The fragrance can even be little milder. So that sensitive noses will feel it good. 
My Recommendation: A big yes for dry skins, normal skins and matured skins. It retains the skin's elasticity as it claims. Also acts as a great moisturizer for extremely dry skins. Not a must product for oilies, yet do try it in dry winters.

Overall Rating: 4/5 

Will I repurchase?: Sure! :) In winters and springs. A single bottle lasts really long though.

Olay Total Effects 7-IN-1 Anti-ageing Cream Review

Today I am gonna review an anti-aging product for the first time :D It's one among the product of a well known famous brand, Olay. I got six 8g sample packs of Olay total effects 7-IN-1 anti aging cream before few months and using it every night. Don't know why, but I always wish to use anti aging products only at nights because it would work on my skin well and also I am a stupid girl who often cries when my mom scolds me for not having my breakfast everyday :P It is not needed for me at all to use an anti-aging product this much earlier :D I have 10 to 15 years more years but still I tried this product to give a review to my lovely readers :P Let me review it with it's pros and cons in this post.

Olay Total Effects 7-IN-1 Anti-ageing Cream


Sample pack which I got looks like this


Price : Rs.699 for 50 gm

Ingredients
Really a very big list and you all know that I am a lazy girl :P Read below!
 

Shelf life : 2 years from the date of manufacture.

What does the product claims
Olay Total Effects, a product that is proven to fight 7 signs of ageing to give you younger looking skin:
  1. Line Minimization : Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
  2. Nourishing Moisturization : Makes dry skin smooth

  • Uneven skin tone
  • Dull/dry skin
  • Increased pore size
  • Dark spots
  • Sagging skin
Consistency of the cream

Before applying the cream


After 4 times of rubbing


After the cream gets absorbed
(gets absorbed easily)

 
My view about this product
The consistency of this cream is not too thick or runny, it has a light texture. The cream is milky light orange in color and what to say about the fragrance? Wow it's just too great. I don't know the reason, but I fell in love with it's pleasant smell from the very first time. It is my best smelling moisturizer ever.
I got this product in this year's summer and I tried it the very same day I got it. Even though I loved the smell, I felt that this cream is a bit sticky on my skin. I do have normal skin so it was little oily for me in summer and hence I kept this product in my draw to use this in winter :) I tried once again in winter and it suited best for my skin :D It is light, gets easily absorbed and nourishes my skin in winter without any stretchy feel or tightness. It also evened out my skin tone a bit and faded spots to an extent. This cream may suit normal skins in winter and dry skin in all the seasons, but for oily skins a great no-no :( It might make your skin sticky, and thus your skin may attract dust particles if you use it in daytime. The main thing I felt about this cream is, although it is quit good and moisturizing, it is really too pricey for 50 gm :( Few of my friends experienced breakouts after using this product. Okay let's go for the pros and cons.

PROS
  • Very nourishing, moisturizes dry skin well in all seasons.
  • Pleasant smell which gives fresh feel :)
  • Reduces the appearance of acne scars and dark spots.
  • Gives even skin tone with regular use.
  • A best winter product for dry and normal skins.
  • Olay is a trusted brand, and the quality is pretty good.
CONS
  • When seeing it's price, I am forgetting all the pros :D Very pricey for this small quantity. I have seen more benefits from other cheaper products of cost than this one.
  • Oily skins - Stay away! It might make your skin feel sticky. Not suitable for oily skins in any seasons.
  • Gives breakouts for some people :(
My Rating : 3/5 (-1 for over priced and -1 for sticky feel in oily skins)

Will I buy this again : Not sure, I want to try some other products which are not sticky and with reasonable price.

Winter Skincare Recipes for Dry Flaky Skin

Our skin needs to be well moisturized and nourished to get rid of dryness in winter. Dry skin is the main cause of dull and stretchy feel. If our skin is not properly nourished, it loses excess moisture and even shows out wrinkles for many people. My aunt worried that she is getting wrinkles and fine lines over her face during winters. I recommended to use a good moisturizing soap as well as a body lotion everyday. Many branded products such as Nivea, Himalaya and Vaseline has good body lotions which keeps skin moisturized but still we can also prevent skin dryness and tightness in winter with few natural beauty solutions at home easily. The very first few skin friendly nourishing things that I get into my mind when I think of winter are
  • Milk
  • Honey
  • Aloevera Gel
  • Banana
  • Olive oil
  • Almonds
  • Curd
  • Glycerin
All of the above mentioned natural items are very effective in nourishing and moisturizing dry skin. If they are used properly in a correct preposition your skin can even beat the other cosmetics because all these things are all natural, free from chemicals, preservatives and side effect free. The other main goodness is they are easily available all time in your own kitchen :)


SKINCARE RECIPES FROM THESE NATURAL ITEMS

Milk and Honey Skin Tonic
I recommend everyone to use Milk and Honey as facial skin tonic to prevent dryness and improve your complexion. Do this every morning after cleansing your face to nourish your facial skin well and prevent dryness, removes tan, wrinkles and blemishes. It softens skin and gives a natural glow. As honey has natural bleaching properties, it also acts as a natural skin lightener.

Banana and Honey Mask for Glowing skin
Banana and honey mask can be used to prevent dryness as well as wrinkles and dark spots. Banana, when mashed and applied along with milk or honey effectively removes suntan and nourishes dry and lifeless skin to bring out a soft natural radiant glow, which makes you stay young forever.

Olive oil and Glycerin Skin Tonic for Extremely Dry Skin
To say about Olive oil and glycerin, they moisturizes even extremely dry skin in winter and keep them moisturized for long hours. They should be mixed in equal preposition and applied over your dry facial skin and left for 20 to 30 minutes. After leaving this natural skin tonic on your skin gently massage your face in circular motion with your finger tips. Wash off with clean and cold water. This can be done daily, even with some other essential oil to be a skin beauty even in winter :)

Almond and Yogurt Face Pack
(Whitens and nourishes skin)
Paste of almonds and curd (Yogurt) acts as a natural facial mask which not only moisturizes your skin, it also softens, removes tan and blemishes, prevents the signs of aging and improves complexion with regular use. If your skin is extremely dry add some olive oil to this pack.

Aloevera Gel Skin Serum
Extract gel from aloevera leaf and mix it with lime juice and honey. Use this as a thin face pack which effectively removes acne scars, spots, tan and also improves skin complexion without making your skin dry in winter.

So, try all these naturally available skincare items to enhance and protect your beauty this winter. Leave your beauty quires through comments and I promise I would reply as soon as possible.Take care of your skin my lovable readers :)

How to Remove Wrinkles with Cabbage?

Cabbage is a wonderful green leafy vegetable which has many effective health and beauty benefits. Many of us throw cabbage from our plate when we eat, Isn't it?
