The Body Shop Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Creme

In my search for a good moisturizer, I picked this up after my encounter with the body shop Vitamin E moisturizer which did not really impress me. So, did I like the body shop seaweed moisturizer?

Price : Rs 1,195 for 50ml

I picked this up when the sales guy recommended me this when I asked him for something which is non-oily and hydrating and would go well with summers without making my skin too sticky or too shiny. So, did the moisturizer fall in that bracket? Well, I would say yes.

Similar to the texture of vitamin E cream, the body shop seaweed moisturizer feels silky on skin thanks to the silicones present. But, the difference is that it hydrates the skin from inside, makes it glowing and keeps the skin looking the same way for half a day at least.

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.

Vichy Bi White Med Deep Corrective Whitening Emulsion Product Review

As much as I am against whitening products, I gave the vichy bi white med emulsion a try! I was searching for an extremely light moisturizer when the sales girl in New U asked me to give this try.

Have you ever been afraid of entering a shop just for the fear of being pestered by sales people? I often feel the same when entering the said shop!!

Anyways, coming back to the product, I am so glad that I took the SA’s advice. It is one of the best moisturizers for oily and combination skin or when you need something extremely light or if you like to layer your products!

It is light and absolutely perfect as a light-weight product. Nothing more than that.

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.
