Know more about Skin Care with Dr. Chytra Anand – Part 1

If you ever get a chance, what would you love to ask a dermatologist about skin care? Of course, my list is endless but then I had to choose the more important things. Check out this two part interview which was supposed to be published last week but thanks to my malfunctioning wordpress, I had to rewrite the entire stuff and the second hand copy never gets the same flavor. Anyways, let us get back to our queries.


Vanity is not a bad thing!

Says Dr. Chytra Anand from Kosmoderma Clinics, Bangalore.

Me : Welcome Dr. Chytra to Perfect Skin Care for you. Thank you so much for making time out of your busy schedule and sharing your knowledge with us. So, starting off quickly, how would you define “aging well”?

Her : Aging well is looking the best possible at any given time! Genetics and our skin care routine are two factors which affect how we look as we get older. Do we eat well? Have we protected it from sun? Are we hydrating it enough? Everything plays a role. The good thing is these days people are accepting the fact that looking good and taking care of their skin is not a thing to be frowned upon. Vanity is not a bad thing! Looking our best is often equivalent to our struggle to be the best.

Salicylic acid is the best cleanser to deal with oily, acne-prone and combination skin. It also has great results on blackheads. And, interestingly, dry skin also gets benefited by using salicylic acid face wash or scrub occasionally to get rid of the dry skin patches.

Me : Yeah, that is true! So, to look the best, we have to ultimately do a lot of hit and trial. To start with, how do we exactly find a good cleanser?

Her : A good cleanser must always be pH balanced or soap-free. The soap is alkaline in nature and our skin is naturally acidic. Using a soap or a cleanser with surfactants imbalances the pH levels of the skin and makes it dry.

Liquid Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser

Swati · January 11, 2017 · 7 Comments

Liquid Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser Product Review

I got this liquid neutrogena face wash sometime in October. Now that I am almost about to finish it, lets see what I think about it.

Liquid Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser Product Review

Price : Rs 299 for 150ml

Availability : Flipkart | Amazon

Skin Type : It says all Skin Types. But, I am not sure it will suit the oily skin very well. Oily skin needs a little more strong face wash and anyways Neutrogena has deep clean meant specifically for oily skin.

Packaging

Liquid Neutrogena comes in a pump bottle. Very easy to use in the bathroom. But, the pump does not lock so is not travel-friendly. I am so loving the pump bottle that I am gonna store it and use it for something else once the face wash gets over.

How your face wash is causing breakouts?

Swati · November 30, 2016 · 9 Comments

face wash is causing breakouts

I wanted to talk about a little observation which I went through last two months. My skin was horrible. It was not behaving, was dull, pigmented and breaking out often. I would attribute the pigmentation to the lack of sunscreen usage but there was something else also wrong with my routine. I think my face wash is causing breakouts on my skin. So, lets see why I think that!

On a side note, forgive my sporadicity (if that is even an expression!). Last few months have been real crazy but then so has life been that way since I was married which is exactly 3 years back! Wow, time flies off and we are all set to enter a New Year!

How your face wash is causing breakouts?

Lesson 1 – Choose your face wash carefully

It definitely is the first step to clear skin and is a very under-rated skin care routine. It is often difficult to find the one product which works for you. For me, that was Garnier Pure Unclogging face wash but seems like it has been discontinued so I am also back to square one.

It is also important to note that some formulas work really well for your skin, irrespective of the brand. Like, myristic acid present in all face washes works well for me, salicylic acid again is a great idea! So, take note of such ingredients or formulas and search for them while hunting for products next time 🙂

On a sidenote, How did my skin problem start and what happened?

Forest Essentials Facial Cleanser Mashobra Honey, Lemon & Rosewater Product Review

Forest Essentials Facial Cleanser Mashobra Honey, Lemon & Rosewater Product Review

Today I am reviewing the forest essentials facial cleanser. But, before that, let me share I did something with you.

I finally got to visit Charminar on Ramzan night. And, it was fabulous. There is jostling and pushing and everything but nothing could beat the lights and merriment and the famous Nimrah Cafe’s irani chai and osmania biscuits. It is a experience which should be done every year!!

Anyways, coming back to the forest essentials facial cleanser, I am double minded about it even after using for 3-4 months.

Forest Essentials Facial Cleanser Mashobra Honey, Lemon & Rosewater Product Review

Price : Rs 1,075 for 200ml

Skin Type, Texture and Fragrance

This face wash is meant for dry and normal skin.

Forest Essentials facial cleanser comes in two fragrances – rose and neem. I suppose. I like Mashobra honey range of products with them for their amazing fragrance specially their body oil. It is heavenly.

Clean and Clear Deep Action Cleanser for Oily Skin Product Review

Clean and Clear Deep Action Cleanser for Oily Skin Product Review

Do you have an oily skin? Mine is not oily but combination which tends to get dry. Still, I tried this cleanser for oily skin. This face wash was an amazing find during my vacation. An amazing vacation. Anyways, coming back to the reality, I find myself in my living room instead of the gorgeous beaches and sand and clear skies. Uhhh…what day dreams! This face wash is supposed to control the oil and is SLS free. Now, let me detail my experience with this face wash.

Clean and Clear Deep Action Cleanser Product Review

Before starting the review, I want to state that I love this face wash even though it is supposed to be for oily skin. I do not know how but it really suited my face. I used this face wash in the evenings after removing the sunscreen. In the morning, I would stick to Vichy cleanser.

Vichy Purete Thermale Face Wash Product Review

Vichy Purete Thermale Face Wash Product Review

This new year I decided that I would not let even a single day pass off without doing anything significant. And, here we are already six days in the new year. You would have already noticed that I am posting everyday for the last two weeks. And, I am trying my level best to keep it up. The aim is to post every weekday for this year.

And, as I mentioned in my skin care diary yesterday, I do have loads of products which I am eager to review. I picked up Vichy for the first time while looking for the face wash sometime in July last year. And, I am glad I picked up the brand otherwise I would have missed out on a few really good products. I do have a list to try out from this brand already 🙂

So, let us check out what I think about this product.

Vichy Purete Thermale Face Wash Product Review

This is quite an interesting product to begin with. The face wash is all liquid inside the transparent bottle which is fitted with a pump. And, when you press the pump to dispense it, what you get is foam. One pump gives enough foam to cover the face. I use two pumps for my face, neck and decolletage. I did love this concept.

Just in case you are wondering, this product does have SLS. The smaller packaging which was the one I got is easy to carry around but not very travel-friendly. If you wish to carry it, it is best to reconsider some other face wash.

Garnier Pure Active Real Neem Face Wash Product Review

Garnier Pure Active Real Neem Face Wash Product Review

If you are a regular reader on the blog, you would know that I am a die-hard fan of Garnier Pore Unclogging face wash even though it has SLS. On my last trip to the supermarket, I was searching for another face wash which my skin would love and I picked up this Pure Active Neem one thinking it would be just the same and more over it was in a buy 2 get 1 offer. Bad idea to buy things for the first time in such offers!!

Anyways, needless to say the product disappointed me a lot. Why? Let us check out.

Garnier Pure Active Real Neem Face Wash Product Review

  • Price : Rs 90 for 100gms
  • Availability : at all the supermarkets and online shopping sites
  • Packaging : travel-friendly like all the tube face washes.
  • Texture : gel face wash, green in color and needs a bit of water to wash off as it leaves a slimy feel after washing the face.
  • Ingredients : It does have SLS, salicylic acid and sodium benzoate instead of parabens as preservatives.
