Parachute Advanced Body Lotion Summer Fresh Preview

I am super duper happy to share these pics with you all! Now, I am here to make you jealous! :P I received a beautiful hamper from Parachute for reviewing purposes. Guess what? Yes you are right! It is the newly launched Parachute Advanced Summer Fresh Body Lotion. We have already checked out its romantic TVC ad long ago, do you remember? 

Let us check some more about our SUMMER new come.

As the scorching summer sets in, all new Parachute Advansed Body Lotion- Summer Fresh is the answer to keeping your skin refreshed and beautiful all day long. A coconut milk based body lotion infused with cool and tingling mint extracts to keep your skin refreshed and rejuvenated in the summer heat. What’s more – it also gives your skin double protection against the sun rays with its UV A & B base protection. Parachute Advansed Body Lotion- Summer Fresh penetrates deep into your skin & refreshes it to get the soft and revitalized look through the summer!  

While we may not realize it, our skin loses a lot of moisture during the summer months, diminishing its freshness and softness & making it vulnerable to sun-tan. Summers in essence, is a harrowing time for your skin – and it goes through multiple skin screams – summer heat, dehydration, tanning, stickiness, and bad odour. This is when it needs that burst of moisture more than ever. All new Parachute Advansed Body Lotion- Summer Fresh has identified the need for a one-stop solution for all these multi- dimensional summer screams. The mint extracts provide an instant cooling on skin and refresh it after a hot summer day, coconut milk infuses light moisture to soften skin and keep it supple. Its bloom of refreshing and long lasting fragrance lingers on to give a invigorating feel for longer. Moreover, the double sunscreens provide double protection from sun. The result is refreshed, hydrated, healthy skin that is soft to touch all summer long.  

So, welcome the summers with Parachute Advansed Body Lotion- Summer Fresh as it offers your skin a cooling & fresh experience all summer long!  The all new Parachute Advansed Body Lotion Summer Fresh is available in the following range:

Just Herbs No Sun Aloevera & Calendula Sun Screen Gel

After reviewing the Silksplash Neem-Orange Face Wash and Frugel Firmskin Skin Radiance Gel from just Just Herbs, Now I am reviewing their No Sun Sun Screen gel with Aloevera and Calendula extracts. From the first two products I used, the skin radiance gel is my most favorite one as it acts as a light moisturizer on oily skin types. So, I made this move to my summer HG list and of course using it everyday. Did you notice a thing about Just Herbs? All their product names are very attractive as well as natural. Not only the names are good, I find the products worthy from my experience too. This sunscreen gel is specially formulated for oily skin types, so say yay if your skin type is oily. Can we move on to the product description and review now? Let us see how it works!

Product Description

A  multi tasking  sun protection gel  especially suitable for use by  people with oily skin or in the scorching summer season when  applying an oil based sun protective seems unappealing. With  it’s built in UV protection and age control micro nutrients, it effectively  replenishes skin’s lost moisture and forms a protective barrier to UV rays to prevent sun spots, freckles and sun induced wrinkles.

Just Herbs No Sun Sun Screen Gel

Price: Rs.350 for 100gm

Shelf life: 2 years

Ingredient list

Bakuchi 2mg, Calendula 1mg, Van Haldi 2mg, Pit Papra 2mg, Pushpanjan 1mg, Kumari Swaras 10mg, Gajar Beej 1mg, Allantoin 1mg, Persic Oil 2mg, Gum & Parishut Jal.

My Experience with this Product

The Just Herbs No Sun Sun Screen gel comes in a plastic container with a pump dispenser. The bottle being transparent makes it easier to find out how much is left inside. Every squeeze is in control and the packaging is completely travel friendly. Hence, I have no complaints on the packaging part.

Named as gel, this product is actually creamy and smooth in nature, colored milky pale yellow. The colour is similar to that of fresh cream, but with a slight yellow tint. The container being transparent gives a look that scoops of butterscotch ice cream is filled inside. :D The fragrance is very subtle, floral and herbal mixed, which is natural and mild. Overall, the gel is cream, smooth and in perfect cream consistency, neither too thick, nor too runny.

I really want to admit now this thing about no sun sunscreen gel from Just Herbs. Last week, I went for an outing in hot sun (Don't you know how bad Chennai summers are!) and  happened to stay in sun for almost the whole day. To test this product, I applied this sunscreen on my left hand arms and fingers skipping the right hand. At the end of the day, the tanning is visible on the parts of right hand while the left hand remained almost same and untanned. This gave me a very nice impression about this sunscreen gel. It also helped me save my facial skin from tan and sunburns. Being a perfect sunscreen product, this works best on oily and normal skin types with natural Aloe vera and Calendula extracts. Moreover, the turmeric being a great antibiotic ingredient, prevents irritation caused by sweat and bacterial infections. As this is a natural product, one needs to be patient until it is completely absorbed by the skin. It takes not much time, but little more than the chemical cosmetics, so don't judge before it is completely absorbed. Excess use of this sunscreen gel may leave a ashy cast, but that disappears in minutes. 

Add caption

Overall, it is really a nice and must have sunscreen product in hot summers. A single bottle is going to last really long as a very tiny amount is needed for whole face and neck. For the worth, it is affordable and I am planning to get this every summer. :)

PROS

1. Protects skin from tanning up to a great extent.
2. I did not experience any sun burn while using this sunscreen. My skin feels safe all day long.
3. Fragrance is natural and mild. This wouldn't surely make even sensitive noses to say nay.
4. Smooth creamy texture spreads easily over the skin.
5. Gives a semi matte finish without any greasiness. It feels light on the skin.
6. Makes a perfect everyday sunscreen for oily to normal skin types.
7. I skipped my moisturizer and just did set this with my compact. The aloe vera itself acts as a natural moisturizer for oily skins.
8. Stays up to 5 hours being effective, which is a very decent staying time for a sunscreen. Re-application is needed if you are out in sun for more than 5 hours.
9. As a single bottle would last longer, I enjoy using it as my body sunscreen lotion too. 
10. Instantly brightens skin with a cooling effect, being a great treat for sun burnt skin.
11. Sturdy and travel friendly packaging. Pump dispenser makes it very hygienic. 
12. Regular use removes mild sun tan and softens the skin.

CONS

Nothing to mention as a con! Just an hint, do not apply this sunscreen gel excessively if your complexion is dark, to avoid the ashy cast.

My Recommendation: A must of sunscreen product for oily to normal skin types! You are surely going to stick to it. Dry skins do not worry, Just herbs have another variant of sunscreen gel for you.

Overall Rating: 4.9/5

Would I Repurchase?: Why not? Sure for every summer.

Just Herbs Frugel Firmskin Skin Radiance Gel

Hey guys! By now you all would have heard and known about the new come Just Herbs, an ayurvedic cosmetic brand. This natural new brand is receiving a huge response among people and I was really tempted to try out their products. Aren't you feeling good hearing the name? "Just Herbs"?

This Frugel Firmskin Radiance Gel is one of the Summer Collection of Just Herbs. Before going into the review, let us see few lines about Just Herbs.

Now, let us see how this skin radiance gel works.

Just Herbs Frugel Firmskin Skin Radiance Gel

Price: Rs.345 for 100gm

Shelf Life: Not mentioned (I will ask and update)

Ingredient List

Each gm contains: Grape seed 1.0mg, Ananas Comosus 1.0mg, Apricot 2.0mg, Orange 2.0mg, Daucas Carrota 1.0mg, Madhu 10mg, Gum & Parishut jal.

Product Description

Suitable for massage of oily skin this gel uses the anti-oxidant and anti-aging effects of fruit poly phenols and essential fatty acids to protect the skin from free radical damage and provide necessary nutrients to the skin to diminish the signs of aging. Regular massage with this gel helps maintain soft, supple and naturally glowing skin.

My Experience with this Product

As I said before, I was very much impressed about Just herbs and their claims. This frugel skin radiance gel comes in a tub and I loved its packaging very much, the tub looks like the some which princesses in ancient times used. It has golden colored top lid which makes it look so attractive. Hence the container is made of thick plastic and is firm, it becomes very travel friendly. The only thing that bothered me is that, I need to dip my fingers inside every time to take the gel out. This might be unhygienic so make sure to keep your hands clean before using the gel.

 To say about the consistency, its neither too thick and nor too thin. It is somewhat like the jellies we eat but still little softer than them. The colour is similar to that of orange juice which makes it very pleasant to eyes. I loved the overall texture and colour. Fragrance is not that sweet, because of it's no artificial perfume formula the fragrance was very natural. It doesn't hurt my nose but I am not yet sure about how sensitive noses feel.  It glides onto skin smoothly and easily, so no complaints about its texture and fragrance.

The very first time I applied it on my skin, it gave out a very cooling sensation calming down my skin. I guessed that this is going to leave a greasy feel behind but not at all, a perfect smooth finish it gives. Not glossy, Not matte, not dry, not moisturized, all it does is smoothed out my skin without any change. I felt very light and convenient soon as I applied this radiance get on my summer oily skin. I used it both at the mornings and nights, my skin felt visibly firmer after a week of usage. This skin gel suits oily skins best without leaving any greasiness and it also softens and firms skin with daily usage. The gel feels a bit sticky for 2 minutes after application, but completely dries off giving a smooth finish after that.

PROS

1. Cooling sensation with every application. This calms down damaged or burnt skin very well.
2. I experienced no side effects like breakouts or something.
3. Leaves skin smooth and oil free. It gives a natural look, neither shiny nor matte.
4. Perfect moisturizer for extremely oily skin. Do not get disappointed with the stickiness, it disappears in seconds.
5. Firms and softens skin with regular usage. 
6. I felt soft glow on my skin after regular usage.
7. A very small quantity is enough for whole face, hence the quantity is good. Can't blame the price.
8. Contains natural fruit extracts, yes! I felt the slight fruity smell.
9. Sturdy and travel friendly packaging.
10. Just herbs products are free from artificial perfumes, chemicals and preservatives.
11. 100% Vegan and non tested on animals.
12. Anti aging claim may be true because it firms skin. Great pick for 30+ people if you have oily skin.

CONS 
Sorry.. No cons I could find!

As they are new, they are available at very select outlets. Check their website for store locations and online availability here.

Nothing else I can mention as con. Of course, this radiance gel is not meant for dry skins but that cant be taken as a con because this product is specially formulated for oily skin and no such dry skin claims. You can try the other variants from this range, dry skins!

My Recommendation: I highly recommend this to extremely oily and oily skin types. Normals can pick this in summers and not for dry skins, try other variants from this range. Makes skin soft, firm and glow with regular use.

Overall Rating: 4.9/5

Will I Repurchase?: Of course. This product is going to my HG list on summers! It cools down skin like anything, softens and firms.
