Skin type- is more than just dry or oily!

Skin type is always thought of as either oily or dry but we determine skin typing on the basis of three factors:

1. Oil secretion- oily or dry or combination
2. Pigmentation- pigmented or non pigmented
3. Sensitivity- sensitive or resistant

Garnier naturals overnight peeling fairness cream- would it really peel off dark spots overnight?

“Garnier Naturals Overnight Peeling Fairness Cream”- the name describes this cream so well; skin lightening cream that is enriched with fruit extracts which work by peeling of skin. Contrary to claims, this cream might peel off dullness but not overnight  and reduce dark spots and skin darkening  but do not expect fairer skin next morning. Cream moisturises your skin giving smooth finish but not like satin; you need to be naturally blessed with satin finish of skin.

Garnier Light 3 in 1 wash, scrub, mask - is it worth buying?

“One Cosmetic company brings an idea like fairness cream for men others are ready to follow.” Within few months all new range of cosmetic products has come up for men. This, still make sense because male skin is thicker and resistant so needs a greater concentration of ingredients to be effective. What about 3 in 1 face wash, scrub and mask?

How do I write a review of product?

I use the product several times to gain an impression of its effect and do detailed scientific analysis of each ingredient of product.

So here is my conclusion of Garnier light 3 in 1 wash, scrub and mask:

To make 3 in 1 product company has added the products which are unnecessary as per as daily use is concerned- total of 27 ingredients

a.       Ingredients like kaolin, corn starch absorb excess oils which is balanced glycerine, water, corn starch and sea weeds that help to give moisturising effect.

b.      Lemon, eucalyptus, zinc, salicylic acid are good in acne control but will be irritating for those with sensitive skin.

c.       Pumice is ingredient used for scrubbing is very abrasive and good for stubborn skin of feet rather than face. Daily use of pumice granules on face can lead to irritation, redness and breakouts more so in those with sensitive skin.

d.      Company has not added any skin lightening ingredient, scrubbing removes dead cells  that leads to fairer skin.

USE OF GARNIER 3 in 1 :

·         As face wash daily is a big NO for all skin types.

·         As a scrub two to three times as company recommends still too harsh for skin of face.

·         You can try scrubbing your hands and feet with it once a week for softer and cleaner skin.

·         Can be used by those with oily, thick and robust skin (males can give a try) once a week as scrub followed by face mask.

Overall product rating: 2of 5.
