Hola peaches,
As you all know I am the proud owner of a clarisonic mia.I got it two years ago.Here is the detailed post.It was my first impression post after using it for a month.
Hello girls,
As we discussed in part 1(here) regular cleansing,hydration and sun protection are very important in all skin types(Read to see product recommendations).However,even after all this care skin problems may surface.For such problems we use targeted treatments.The main problems are:
-Acne[For moderate to severe acne I have discusses medical treatments and very effective regimen here]
-Dull skin
-Hyper pigmentation (hormonal or sun damage)
-Premature wrinkles.
As mentioned I have discussed acne in a separate post,however girls with mild acne or blackheads etc or who are trying to keep acne away should read on. As for the rest of the problems treatment is more or less the same.
Night is the time our skin is resting and repairing.At night the products get more time to work on our skin.So,lets see what night treatments should be considered.
NIGHT TREATMENT:
Now that your skin is getting mature you need to show it some extra care.Using a treatment serum at night is a great idea.If you want radiance and clear skin then you have a variety of options.The Alpha Hydroxy Acids(AHAs) [i-e Glycolic acid and Lactic acid] and Beta Hydroxy acids.AHAs work superficially and BHAs work deeper.The uses differ and so they have been mentioned under the problem they treat.
Hola my sugar pops,
Today,I am doing a post on a very interesting topic.I love reading and trying stuff that promises radiance and even skin tone.However,the fact I paid very little attention to was that skin goes through so many changes with age.The time of twenties is a time of slow transition.Your skin adjusts to your environment.The hormone levels also settle down a bit and the crazy skin days of teenage are less frequent.Most of the girls understand their skin better by the time twenties hit.So,all in all its a period of relative stability.The strong oil control formulas and super mattifying powders don't give the same perfect results as before.Reason is that skin is not as oily as it used to be.Subjecting it to harsh treatments will only result in dullness.I was not very attuned to these fine points,but now that my twenties are almost ending(sadly) my experiences can help so many girls who are having a hard time finding effective skincare regimen.So, today I am going to list a few steps and products which, if integrated in skin care regime, will go a long way in giving a glow and radiance.
Hello my pretty peaches,
Today the product under spotlight on the blog is the ever popular Bio Oil.It has been a topic of much debate and discussion on girl forums especially in relation to stretch marks after pregnancy and sudden weight gain.So does it do anything?Lets read more to know...
Hola Peaches,
Today I bring you all a product which is quite intriguing,but 9 out of ten times we prefer to just stare and leave it at the shelf since we never know if there is any truth in the tall claims it makes.So was it wort it?To know read more
Hi peaches,
The cool breeze whispers that winters are finally here.While it makes me happy to be able to enjoy the cold,I am concerned about my skin too.I may have oily skin, but my feet and hand certainly get a full dose of dryness in winters and look so unloved.I keep trying new body moisturizers for this and decided to share my not-so-latest find with you.The Body Shop Body Butter Duo.Is it good?or just average with a good name?Read to know...
Hello my sweet peaches,
I hope the heat has been kind to you.I was busy with my exams.They went fine.I am going to get busier, but I will try to keep up the routine of weekend posts.I need your prayer and love to keep me going. <3
Today the post is about an eye cream.It was on my wishlist for quite a long time.When TBS had a sale I got a tube to try.Read to know my thoughts.
Hi Peaches,
Makeup is the best help when it comes to looking good.However,your skin does not react well to sloth if you are in the habit of applying makeup frequently.So, this post is especially for all ya makeup fans out there.
Its a cleanser and it looks like water.Yeah you got me right.Its Bioderma Sensibio Micelle water.The micelle water is specially formulated to remove makeup efficiently without making skin oily at all.So was it "effective" enough?Read to know...

Hi my dear sunny peaches ^_^,
I know you all must be looking for a good sunblock by now. Spectraban is about the only sunblock which is not oily,acts and works like a primer for oily skin and is a very efficient sunblock too(Read review here).However,as the product like a sunblock is a staple for most girls and large amount is used over summer months, Spectraban becomes a costly option.Costs around PKR 1800.So,I experimented with a few and hit gold with one.Here is my complete review on it...
I got this sunblock for PKR 450 from Servaid Pharmacy.It comes in oil free version too, but it was for PKR900.So I dropped it.
Hola Peaches,
Summers and sweat are never kind to your hair.You always have to shampoo to get rid of that oil residue in hair.So,I am always looking for a good shampoo which can scrub my scalp clean.When I saw the Body Shop shampoo I instantly grabbed it.It promised moisture so I had high hopes for it.To know how it worked for my hair see below:
I got it for PKR1345
.
The shampoo comes in a long bottle with a flip top.It is a clear greenish and I really like the scent.It smells like rain and leaves.All natural.
Hi sugar muffins ^_^ ,
A good beauty routine should always have scrubbing as its integral part.A good scrub used according to skin type brings out softness and glow on face.Recently,I came across Freemen's Apricot Scrub in a creamy base.I was intrigued, because I am big fan of apricot scrubs and I am always on the hunt for an effective scrub which isn't harsh.So,I got this trial pack.I got 4-5 uses out of it.So,I thought it would be good to share with readers my experience and whether I would repurchase.
Moisturizer is an essential part of beauty routine.Girls with Oily and dry skin alike, all need a good moisturizer.There are so many girls with oily skin who prefer to go without a moisturizer,I was one not very long ago.However, this is such a bad beauty habit that makes your skin pay toll over time.Dull skin which does not glow no matter how high end you go.(wow that rhymes).So,always integrate a good moisturizer in your routine,if not day then at least night and you will see those pores shrink,the dullness recede and a softness that shows.
Ok so in a big big market overloaded with moisturizers I found this simple jar too.Beauty grapevine says its one of the simplest and most effective moisturizers therefore I had to try.
ST IVES TIMELESS SKIN COLLAGEN ELASTIN MOISTURIZER
I had to search for it and found it hiding behind other moisturizers hence the dusty old look.
Hi all,
Well after a long lecture from my sister on how I should do more posts on departmental store brands in Pakistan,I am here with a review.This is a hair mask by Sunsilk I got an year back, but never reviewed.You all must have seen sunsilk hair masks flooding the shelves in all stores.So lets see if these are a hit or a miss.
Hola Amigos,
I am sure you all have had your fair share of of the moment when you see something so delicious that all you can think of is I-MUST-GET-MY-HANDS-ON-IT.Well today's post is about one such thing.
When I saw this jar of body scrub in reviews I was drooling for it.I mean it looked simply delicious...totally edible.So when I finally got it I was over the moon.Did it live up to my expectations?Read to know...
SOAP N GLORY FLAKE AWAY
Hello sweeties,
I can be quite lazy when it comes to taking care of myself.So,I am always looking for quick fixes that can do the job in less time.As you all know that scrubbing is an essential part of skin care.Having a good scrub can really save all the money you have to dole out for facials.Quite recently there is a new variant of scrubs in market namely polishers.Polish is basically scrub with finer granules and stronger formula.Today I have a polisher which has been my HG product for the past few years. Ever since i did the post on facial at home I have been getting queries about this polisher.So,
This face polish is by Hollywood style.Hollywood style is a US based company and specializes in skin care.The products are reasonably priced and have good quality.I am reviewing the brand because it says "cruelty free" and "no animal ingredients" on the label.
HOLLYWOOD STYLE FACIAL SKIN POLISH
Winters can be a pretty drying time.Body lotions,body butters and body oils are the only way to avoid lizard skin :P ,but for busy people the time to slather on and massage can be pretty scarce.So,replacing the normal bar of soap with a moisturizing body wash is a good idea.
I have been getting so many emails asking about a good brand of body wash which is affordable and easily available too.So,today the post is about a body wash I really liked.Will I recommend it?Read on to know
FREEMAN FEELING BEAUTIFUL WHOLESOME 2-IN-1 EXFOLIATING BODY WASH BLACKBERRY
Hola amigos ^_^
A few weeks ago I reviewed TBS vitamin C facial cleanser.(haul post here).From the vitamin C range I tried the vitamin C capsules too.Capsules have concentrated vitamin C in them and can be applied only at night as Vitamin C is highly photosensitive.This was my first time of any skin beauty treatment.So read to find how it was....
THE BODY SHOP VITAMIN C FACIAL RADIANCE CAPSULES
Hello my beauties,
Today's post is on a scrub...again :D In this environment full of pollution and dust, one just can not stress enough, the importance of scrubbing and exfoliating for a healthy skin.However,doing it right is even more important then doing it in routine.If you rub the wrong way or if you are rubbing hard your skin can get damaged.A very gentle,circular motion can do wonders for your complexion.So,I have brought for your kind consideration another scrub from the house of St Ives....Olive Scrub.(Read more posts on St Ives here.)
ST IVES MOISTURZING OLIVE SCRUB
Its winter time and we all have loaded our vanity with moisturizers.However,with moisturizers come their best friends shine and dull greasy look.So,I try to stay as far from moisturizers as possible and only use night time moisturizer.Then I cam across Neutrogena Fine fairness.Its getting rapidly popular among girls.
Fine fairness range with helioplex formula protects against UVA and UVB rays and reduces formation of dark spots.It also reduces melanin production in skin.
Lets see how was my experience with it.
