Five Best Skincare Products Under Rs.50

Hello girls! Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Here in Chennai, the weather is too good with cool breezes.
Today we are going to check five of my favorite skincare products below Rs.50. From my childhood, I have a huge love on skincare cosmetics (More than makeup) and I loved shopping skincare cosmetics every weekend while going for shopping along with my mom. Those days (When I was 10 or 11 something), the only products I known were the Ponds Cold Cream, Lacto Calamine, Fair and lovely and such. Later, when I stepped into my 8th grade, I eyed out for some face washes, scrubs and etc in range between Rs.50 and Rs.200 due to my less pocket money reasons :P

1. Johnson's Baby Lotion, 2. Johnson's Baby Milk Cream, 3. Pears Pure and Gentle Face Wash, 4. EverYuth Naturals Walnut Scrub, 5. Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub
Five Best Skincare Products Under Rs.50


      These products which I am sharing with you today are the ones I am using for years and till today, I still love them and repurchase them often. Do not under estimate these products just seeing their price because they all actually work great and they could be a great boon for teens to buy cosmetics in a budget. These products might also help you when you are in unexpected travel, in which situation you cannot spare money on expensive skincare goodies. Let us now move on to the post and check these products one by one now.


Swatches:

1. Johnson's Baby Lotion, 2. Johnson's Baby Milk Cream, 3. Pears Pure and Gentle Face Wash, 4. EverYuth Naturals Walnut Scrub, 5. Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub


1. Johnson's Baby Lotion


Price: Rs.42 for 50ml

No! Don't look at me strange. I am not a baby but I simple love using baby skincare products. This baby lotion is one product which I cannot live without. This baby lotion comes in 2 variants I guess. The one is Johnson's Baby Cream and another one is the Johnson's baby MILK cream. The milk variant is pure white in colour whereas the baby cream which comes in a pink plastic bottle is light pink in colour. I love the pink one better because of its very mild, soothing baby fragrance. I find its consistency thin and the fragrance, absolutely divine. I feel like baby every time when I use it over my skin. It moisturizes my normal-oily skin very well without leaving any greasy caste behind. I use it on my body, face and hands whenever I feel like I need something baby-sh. I makes my skin soft, smooth and baby like instantly!



2. Johnson's Baby Milk Cream


Price: Rs.38 for 30g

This cream is similar to that of the Johnson's baby lotion but has a thicker consistency and also it is white in colour. The above mentioned Johnson's baby lotion is best for usage in normal, oily or combination skin types whereas this one serves dry skin types the best due to its creaminess. Creams or heavier than lotions, right?
     I do not use this on my facial skin due to its richness (I am afraid of breakouts due to greasiness!) but I often use this as my hand cream and foot cream to prevent dryness. It provides enough moisturization to my dry feet and moreover it makes me smell like baby too! If you are a dry skinned beauty, you can use this as your facial moisturizer too. It comes in a neat and simple white coloured tube which is completely travel friendly and hygienic to use.


3. Pears Pure and Gentle Face Wash


Price: Rs.45 for 60g

After a heavy makeup day or a summer evening when your skin is the most sensitive due to over sun exposure, when your skin screams for something very gentle, this is one face wash that can fulfill your skin's wishes. I have been using this face wash since ages and it never disappointed me till today. This Pears Pure and Gentle Face Wash is made of pure glycerin and is 100% soap free. What more you need?
   I guess that this product would suit each and every skin type whether oily, dry or combo. It only does gentle cleansing, leaving skin soft and pure. It also lathers well and washes out well without leaving any slippery feel on facial skin. I use this face wash more often for its gentleness and I am sure you will love it too if you experience it. For just Rs.45, you get 60g which would last really long. Overall, this face wash is gentle as per its name and suitable for usage in all skin types, especially sensitive. So, if you have a very sensitive skin type, note it down in your shopping list soon.


4. EverYuth Naturals Walnut Scrub


Price: Rs.30 for 30g

Unlike the other products I mentioned in this post, this isn't the one that I bought myself but received it free with some other product. For more than 3 months, it was sleeping inside my skincare product case and it has been only 6 months I started using this. This is a very pocket-friendly priced facial scrub which claims to remove dead skin cells and blackheads with its walnut and apricot scrubbing particles. It has a thick, creamy texture with tiny scrubbing granules present in it. As per the claims, it removes the dead cells and blackheads up to a good extent from my facial skin without leaving it dry. For a normal-oily skinned person like me, I didn't feel any dryness after using this scrub but in case of extra dry skin, you need to follow up with a good moisturizer after using this to prevent dryness. The one thing that I dislike about this product is its fragrance (A kinda artificial) but it doesn't linger on and I just don't mind it for the price! This scrub is comes in a really dirt cheap price, but has a very good worth and if you're a beginner facial scrub user, try this for sure.


5. Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub


Price: Rs.49 for 40g

Most of you have used this scrub for at least once in your life isn't it? It comes with an attractive claim of curing blackheads in just 3 days and I grabbed it the next minute I happened to watch that television ad. Once, when I visited my aunt's home, me and my cousin very enjoying our holidays with daily outings in sun and dust. And thus made my skin dull, dark and full of accumulated dirt. Due to the dirt accumulation, I experienced blackheads for the very first time in my life and was really shocked. Suddenly, I got an idea of using this blackhead clearing scrub and voila! It removed most of the blackheads and left my skin clean and clear. Unlike the EverYuth Natural Walnut Scrub, it is a scrub-come-face wash and it also contains more tinier scrubbing beads compared to the coarse the EverYuth one. Hence, I don't mind using this scrub everyday whereas I can use the EverYuth Walnut Scrub only once-twice a week.
   Both are good economical scrubs, the EverYuth Walnut one and this Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing one, but I would say that I like the Clean and Clean one more because it clears out blackheads more effectively compared to the Everyuth Walnut Scrub, though having finer scrubbing granules. I can use it everyday too for blackhead prevention and a gentle exfoliation!

These products work best on my normal-oily skin type and I am not sure it will work on all skin types; It might suit you or might not, however these are dirt cheaply priced for the amazing properties. These are easily available too.
    Not just these 5, I have many more skincare and haircare products to share in this price range and I will share them in upcoming days! :) Keep Visiting!

Adult Acne Treatment

adult acne treatment, teenage skin, skin, antibiotics, birth control
Adult Acne Treatment - Do you ever feel that you are too old to outbreaks were? Whether a teenager or adult, acne can make people afraid to go out in public, which is to avoid using social occasions, mirrors at all costs and wear tons of makeup to hide disfiguring scars. Their young children might even ask you, at some point, why have all these points on your face. Clearly, the emotional impact of acne door that not only low self-esteem, but can also lead to a withdrawal, social anxiety and even depression.

The differences between adult and teenage acne
Did you know that men and women suffer from acne at a young age, but women have twice the risk of men in adulthood? Acne in adults can be either persistent acne is acne that childhood never lost or late-onset acne that appears for the first time. Late onset is less common, while suffering from persistent acne, 70 to 80 percent of acne. The majority of acne in adults is based on the lower parts of the face, around the line of the chin, mouth and jaw, while acne in adolescence include larger areas of the face. Adult acne can be treated even more difficult, which is not surprising given the fact that adult skin more sensitive and less resilient and heals more slowly than the skin of young people. Unlike acne, which tends to be oily, adults tend to have dry skin is more problematic since adult acne medication known to produce side effects of irritation and dryness. The adult skin moisture can not even afford poor get even drier. There is also a misconception that teenagers get acne, so adults can move to seek treatment. Acne can be socially crippling for anyone - male or female, adult or adolescent. But unlike a woman, a man does not have the luxury of covering his acne with makeup. There is also a perception that adult acne is generally accepted as a part of life, while young people with their vulnerable ego, perhaps more traumatized by acne as an adult. This is not always the case, as shown in research that adults with acne scars lacked self-confidence, avoid eye contact, tend to be booked, tried to hide their faces and their hair usually kept my head down.

The origin of a button
The starting point for the formation of a key hormones. Androgens such as testosterone, stimulate the glands in the skin to produce oil. A clogged pore is too much oil and the accumulation of skin cells that can not be paid off caused. This block is a breeding ground for bacteria Propionibacterium acnes naturally in the skin, causing irritation to the skin, the release of chemicals. Our immune system then comes to his aid, to help against bacteria, this inflammatory reaction, the ugly redness, swelling and pus creates, then here `, a button is born!

6 Back to Skin Care
First Always be moisture that adult skin tends to the dry side.
Second Wash your face twice a day to remove excess oil with a mild facial cleanser.
Third Wear oil-free sunscreen with SPF 30 minimum, even in winter to reduce skin scars.
4th Follow a low-fat, high-fiber diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
5th Use oil-free products.
6th Reduce stress, stay hydrated, exercise and get regular sleep.

6 Don'ts of Skin Care
First Vigorously rub your skin acne worse.
Second Select or press the keys.
Third Put your chin or cheeks in your hands.
4th Wear makeup, if you really do not.
5th Eat foods cause you know your acne.
6th Get lazy with your skin care skin care.

Medicines for acne
There are different product formulations: creams, gels, lotions and solutions. Creams are usually used for dry and sensitive skin, because they tend to be less irritating and less drying. The gels are used for oily skin, because they have better drying effect, but can cause more irritation and burns. Solutions to help oily skin and are primarily concerned with the skin products used antibiotics. Lotions for dry skin and fat can be used and its advantage is that it has spread easily in large areas of the body, if necessary for the back, neck and chest acne.

Mild to moderate acne: benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and alpha-hydroxy acids (lactic acid and glycolic acid).
- With the lower forces on Start, then move on, if you do not see improvement within a few weeks.
- Can take 2-3 weeks to see the benefits.
- Causes a mild irritation and dryness (use an oil-free moisturizer).
- Can bleach clothing so make sure your skin is dry before using a tissue.

If all else fails ...
Visit a dermatologist. Sometimes none of the above treatments will be effective and stronger drugs are required. Since adult acne is not always able to respond to typical acne products, it might be wise to a skin specialist who consulted experts in skin care and hormones.

Construction news: tretinoin (Retin-A), adapalene (differentiation) and azelaic acid (Azelex).
- Sunscreen is a must, because these drugs increase the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight.
- Wear certainly lead to flaky, scaly, dry skin, lizard-looking, no longer works faster and a small amount goes a long way.
- Do not give up medicine because you are not working, we think you need at least 3 months to see results.
- Avoid eyes and lips and wrinkles near the nose, because they are sensitive areas and are more prone to dry, and peel the effects of drugs.
- Stay away from direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds, while the use of these drugs.
- Apply at night before bed, not in the morning.
- Make sure you wait until your face is completely dry before.
- If you unwanted facial hair, must remove the main field lips, be careful, because the wax can easily leave a trace of the skin sore for several days, thread and tweezers, the preferred use of these products.
- Burning, irritation, redness and tingling of the most common side effects.
- When drought occurs early in use, it is acceptable to use every day or every three days and then slowly increase the use of each day.

Antibiotic solutions clindamycin and erythromycin topical application to the skin. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline, minocycline and erythromycin can also be used but only under the supervision of a physician. Side effects can cause skin rashes, diarrhea, stomach upset, yeast infections, bacterial imbalances and thus the sensitivity. Oral antibiotics for months should be used to educate and acne when you use to prevent the pill to become pregnant, you should use an additional form of contraception during use of antibiotics to prevent pregnancy, provide antibiotic drugs birth control less effective , it can even be a positive pregnancy test undesirable if not for one second reliable backup method to prevent pregnancy while taking antibiotics.

Hormone replacement therapy: women who are not medical skin products and antibiotics may benefit from oral contraceptives to hormone balance, as many a break from hormonal acne around her period. Mild side effects may go away over time, breast tenderness, bloating and nausea be. Anti-androgens may be prescribed by a specialist, the reduction of androgens in the body, resulting in fewer acne breakouts. However, blood tests are necessary before the treatment of acne with hormonal drugs, so be sure to consult a specialist.

Severe acne: oral high doses of vitamin A, such as isotretinoin (Accutane) may be used for severe acne, with many scars. This is a powerful drug used as a last resort. It is not necessary for women to become pregnant while taking this medication because it is an extremely high risk of major birth defects. Before treatment, women of childbearing age should have two negative pregnancy tests. Women should be two different forms of effective birth control a month before its use, during use, and for one month after cessation of use. It is not clear whether a man taking isotretinoin can cause birth defects, it is advisable to impregnate a woman. In addition, anyone taking this medication carefully monitored and have regular blood tests.

It's normal to get frustrated because you feel like you're in puberty exploiting dividend again. Do not expect results overnight. Acne treatments take months to work, not days. Your skin can appear even worse for the first few weeks, before the improvement is that the spots under the skin start coming out. Sometimes you may need several treatments before, the proper use of one. Not just keep waiting for acne to clear on its own, especially if you have suffered with it for a long time, take more time and see a dermatologist, because you can maybe one step closer to delete a skin.

My skin for thirty years


My skin for thirty yearsSometimes I think that every part of the female body - your age.Sometimes, the heart of eighteen, and the neck is already over forty, all seventy hands, and feet - well look at the twenty-five.And the more skin on the face: that's really who is celebrating his own birthday, regardless of the wishes and aspirations of the owner.Although, if it properly, and to congratulate the right gifts to give, there is a chance to gain power over her age!Thus, the skin - thirty. Dangerous anniversary!


Back in the day there is a pause mode for bad habits, and sleep is not even a ten, and life is not the most healthy, and everyone seems to get away with it, and yet have a need to monitor, closely related to health and to notice any unwanted changes : to prevent and eliminate them.
That such a range of thought, I propose to select for our leather anniversary gifts.
Gift of the first: the certificate for examination in a private clinic All the problems of our thirty years of skin visible from the outside, and are born - inside.
That is why she is overjoyed, if you will present it to a good survey, tied with ribbon front. She was pleased to hear recommendations therapist, endocrinologist, immunologist, allergist - albeit not so thirty and age, once again checked not hurt anyone.
Gift of Two: phytohormonal menu The thirty - the age when one would think and hormonal background necessary for the skin beauty.
Use of hormonal make-up, of course, still very early, so we will make it a present to the fiftieth anniversary, and today - a dinner party with phytohormones, improving the complexion, skin elasticity, giving her youthful glow.
Let the menu be sure to: grapes, pomegranate, soy, wheat germ, olive oil and tincture of hop cones - as commemorative champagne.



Gift of Three: Water Every decent skin, which stepped three decades of the threshold should be: a bottle of thermal water for daily hydration, moisturizing facial mask, two liters of clean drinking water every day inside.
Present Four: real green tea Nothing will rejuvenate and heal as good, a real green tea, brewed according to the rules and drunk in good company.
This is not just a holiday toast - green tea is a powerful antioxidant, binding, and deducing from the body of free radicals - the main enemies of our thirty years of the skin.
 


Gift Five: Love Whatever it was, our skin, it really needs to love his mistress. The daily care. In constant supervision. In the beauty salon and pampering gifts.
Because only one who loved, maybe thirty, fifty, and look at all eighteen!
