Parachute Advansed Summer Fresh Body Lotion Review
Don't look at me strange please! Summer has said bye to us long back but still I didn't review this product which was sitting in my shelf for more than 2 months. Do you remember when I received the parachute summer hamper? (Yes! With those yummy mint candies) but it took 2 months for me to finally review it here. This really shows that I am a super lazy girl but anyhow there is nothing called 'monsoon' here in Chennai. We are seeing rain once in a week or once in 10 days. Uff, that's so bad. Here in South India, the sun is on the rule till today and thus using this lotion won't be much tough as it is light, suitable for summers. Not just this one, I have so many products to be reviewed here but still they are sleeping in my shelf. Bear with me girls, I am getting brisk from today so you can expect many reviews here in upcoming days. Don't feel like 'Yikes, this girl is using so many skincare and makeup products?! Huh' because I am scheduling all the posts :D Got it now? Come lets move on to the review.

Rs. 125 for 250ml

My Experience with this Product:
Packaging
This summer fresh body lotion comes in a very beautiful plastic bottle which is pale green (Or milk green?) in colour, cute, beautiful and very curvy (This makes the packaging look very feminine and sexy). Though simply packed, I fell in love at first sight with its packaging. It is so CURVY you know. This makes it easy to hold too. I guess there are 2-3 more sizes available but I am not sure about their prices. Each and every size comes in a same kinda curvy bottle with a flip cap at top. The flip type cap is sturdy enough for travel and makes the product hygienic-to-use as well. For this price, I did not expect this kind of a beautiful packaging so hats off!

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance
I cannot identify whether it is coconut milk or mint but this lotion just has a very fresh and divine fragrance! The fragrance is really super fresh and natural but not strong at all. I loved that the fragrance is mild, not that overpowering but still fresh. See, talking about the fragrance I forgot to mention the other parts first. This body lotion is white in colour, with a pale green tint to it and has a normal to runny consistency. The light green tint makes it look naturally fresh.

How it works:
As per the claims, it is a perfect summer body lotion. This lotion is very light, mild and gentle on the skin. Soon after I applied this lotion over my skin, I felt that calming chilliness; which means you can use this after every bath and even after returning home in a sunny day. After a long sunny day, if you use this lotion over your skin, this is definitely going to sooth your skin and help with curing the burns if any. The fresh fragrance lasts for 1 hour or so and then disappears which I don't mind.
The lotion gets absorbed by the skin in a jiffy and leaves no greasiness or caste behind. My skin has instantly become soft, moisturized and smooth soon after the application. If it is a hard sunny day, I just apply this lotion all over my body in the morning after bath and this feels just perfect throughout the day. I do not need to reapply in between as it keeps my skin moisturized (I am not sure; if your skin is a tad dry, this would keep dryness at bay but not sure about the moisturization). On monsoons and somewhat colder days, I reapplied this twice to thrice to balance my skin's moisturize. Our skin usually needs some heavy body moisturizers on winters and hence I need to skip (Or continuously reapply) this one, when it is extra cold. As this is a summer body lotion, that can never be taken as a con tough. If you have extra oily, oily, normal-oily or sensitive skin type, get one and try for sure; You are going to love it! Are you dry skinned? No problem; Get one at least for its fresh fragrance and you will like it too. I am impressed of this product from Parachute very much!
Pros
- Curvy, feminine and attractive packaging.

- Attractive price tag! You get really a lot of ml for a very cheaper price
- Available in different sizes. The smallest one will fit for traveling the best.
- Easily available everywhere!
Cons
- I have no big con list for this product with this worth for a very cheaper cost but just something mentioning here.This will not be your pick if you are eying out for a thick, luxury, extra moisturizing body lotion for your dry skin.
- This behaves very good to your skin in summers (In terms of moisturization) but at the same time, this lotions disappears within an hour from your skin on colder days. So that you need to reapply often throughout the day if it is winter.
- And also, it contains PARABENS! Stay away if your skin is allergic to parabens
My Rating: 4/5
Recommendation:
Overall, this is a perfect summer body lotion for everyone in your family, from children to elders as per mentioned on the pack. Did you check how economical the price tag is? Go grab one fast!
Would I Repurchase?:
No, no this year. I have already got two big 250 bottles :) But I am definitely getting this for next summer.

What Is The Best All Natural Skin Care Soap?
What type of soap makes the best all natural skin care cleanser? The answer is easy... homemade soaps! Today, I am going to explain why this type of soap is so much better for your skin then any other product out there.
Let me first start with a question. Do you really know what you're putting on your skin? If you use any type of commercial skin care products the answer is an absolute NO!
\"Castor Oil For Acne\"
The cosmetic industry is not like the food and drug industry where all ingredients must be fully disclosed. Companies may use potentially hazardous substances in order to cut costs, speed up production and increase shelf life without you even knowing about it!
The only way to know for sure what the soap you are using is made out of is to either create it yourself or buy it from a reputable homemade soap company who is more concerned about producing a quality product instead of passing a corporate set sales goals.
Will you actually see a change in your skin by using all natural homemade soap? For most people the answer is YES! Staying away from synthetic ingredients can dramatically change your appearance for the better.
In addition to being synthetic free, homemade soaps are considered to be the best all natural skin care product because they still retain their glycerin content. Glycerin is a natural moisturizer that forms during the soap making process and is extremely beneficial for the skin.
Unfortunately, this valuable ingredient is usually removed from commercially produced soaps and sold as a byproduct. If you haven't tried a soap that still retains its glycerin value, you're in for a real treat as you can actually feel the difference!
Ok, so are there any downfalls of using homemade soaps? Actually... Yes. The most prominent downfall is definitely its rather high price. Homemade soap, at around five to seven dollars per bar, is significantly more expensive then soap that you can just pick up at your local super market. This is true, however, for 3 good reasons!
- They are not mass produced but are usually made batch by batch.
- They don't sell off their glycerin in order to reap more profit.
- They don't incorporate inexpensive (and harmful) synthetics to cut costs.
Another minor detriment of homemade soap is that it does not last nearly as long as commercially produced soaps. This is because it is much softer, making it dissolve in water more quickly and also has the potential to go rancid a lot sooner.
Fortunately, we have the option to use palm oil to create soap with added hardness and use grapefruit seed extract as an all natural preservative.
Compared to the few and very minor negatives of using handmade soap, the numerous benefits far outweigh the detriments. Go ahead and try making handmade soap yourself or buy it from a reputable supplier. I don't think you will ever regret it!
What Is The Best All Natural Skin Care Soap?
Find out which single ingredient makes the best all natural skin care soap [http://www.soap-making-resource.com/best-all-natural-skin-care.html] on http://www.soap-making-resource.com You will also learn everything there is to know about soap making and the benefits of using homemade soaps to improve your skin.
Coconut Oil Soap - Can it Really Improve your Complexion?
One of the all time best natural skin care products around today is coconut oil soap. Although coconut oil is mainly used within soap for structural purposes, its added skin care benefits make it an element not to be overlooked by the cosmetic world.
Coconut oil is best known in the soap making industry for adding a luxurious lather and firmness to a finished product, but what are these hidden benefits to the skin that make it stand out to the consumer?
\"Castor Oil For Acne\"
First of all, coconut oil soap contains important anti-oxidants that protect the skin from harmful rays like ultraviolet light and various forms of atmospheric pollution. It also helps prevent and heal many types of skin infections. Furthermore, coconut oil soap is exceedingly moisturizing as it literally attracts water out of the air and draws it to the skin. Oils with this particular attribute are called emollients.
There are countless shops these days that sell coconut oil soap as it is somewhat gaining in popularity. You must be careful, however, because almost all skin care products, including low end commercial grade soaps, have some percentage of coconut oil incorporated into them.
One ingredient that you really should keep away from your skin is tallow and lard. These are both animal fats prominently used in the soap making industry. Almost all companies, along with these harmful fats, will add a small percentage of coconut oil to their product in order to increase the lather. Some will even advertise their soap as "coconut oil soap" even though it does not nearly offer all the same benefits as the "real deal".
If you're looking for true coconut oil soap that has the potential to transform your skin, I recommend either creating your own or buying it from a reputable homemade soap company.
If you decide to try making it, which I strongly recommend, I can reassure you that it will be both fun and easy. In order to make coconut oil soap, allow the ingredient to take up only 20% of the total oils used. Add other natural skin care oils like sweet almond oil, jojoba oil and olive oil to complete the recipe.
An interesting aspect of coconut oil is that when too much is used, it can have a drying effect while the right amount produces a superb moisturizing product. Make sure that you don't let coconut oil take up more then 25% of the oils used under any circumstance.
