Nature's Co. Lemon Peel Exfoliating Body Wash - Review

Hi everyone,

How have you all been..Today I will be reviewing a wonderful product from Nature's Co. i.e. their Lemon Peel Exfoliating Body Wash. 

What Nature's Co. claims about its Lemon Peel Exfoliating Body Wash 

This clean, fresh extract of Lemon Peel not on...ly is a great astringent that helps firm the skins elasticity but also balances the pH of the skin which increases the luster of dull and tired looking skin by lightening it mildly. Kiwi seeds & Walnut grits gently exfoliate the skin leaving it smooth & renewed. In the shower or bath, spread the scrub over your entire body. Rub it in to exfoliate & then rinse well. It will leave you feeling smooth all over.

Price: 775/-  

Net weight - 250ml

 What I loved about Lemon Peel Exfoliating Body Wash

•  The Lemon Peel Exfoliating Body Wash is a delight to use in hot and humid summers.
• Nice rich lather when used with a loofah.
• Gentle exfoliation. Exfoliating granules and the kiwi seeds are not at all abrasive and don't scratch the skin. 
• Mild fragrance of lemon which lingers on for a long time. 
• The fragrance of  lemon feels wonderful in summers.
• All organic and natural ingredients
• Does’nt dry out my skin. 
• Comes in easy squeeze tube which shuts tightly. No chances of leaking.

What I did not like Lemon Peel Exfoliating Body Wash

• Expensive at Rs.775 for 250ml. 
• Exfoliating granules are not at all gritty. they are very mild and exfoliation is very gentle.
• Available only at Nature's Co. outlets or online. not available at regular cosmetic shops and retail outlets. 

How to tame your wild wild hair..

Let me just begin by saying that more then my dry skin, I am a bit obsessed about my hair. I have never coloured or got my hair straightened.  I have been blessed with dry but thick, dense and slightly wavy hair which appear like soft curls when left open.

A small sneak into how my hair actually looks when open. I cant really keep my hair open much. 

Well, that’s my hair a few hours after a hair wash. They turn so wavy and twist in every possible direction, (lol) and when you have hair like this, I guess you cant do anything other then keep it tied. 

I have recently switched to Patanjali Kesh Kanti cleanser and truly loving it. Works great for my dry hair. Read the review here

Like I said before, my hair is quite dry and I had to generous amount of oil to tame those ugly fly aways and provide moisture for my hair.  Every time after washing my hair, immediately I used to vigorously rub my very wet hair in my attempt to dry them and set them. The extensive rubbing used to make my hair even rougher and give me lot of fly aways. Ugh. Now after reading through numerous blogs about how to take care of dry hair, I realised that I myself was doing it all wrong.

Here are some short tips on how to manage dry hair after a hair wash:

• After shampoo, use cold water as last rinse if you are using hot or lukewarm water for shampooing your hair. Cold water helps to close cuticles and gives a shine to hair. 
• To get off the excess water dripping from your hair, divide your entire hair into 5-6 sections with your fingers. Very gently twist these sections to drain off the excess water.
• Wrap a towel on your hair very loosely. The more tightly you tie the towel, more are chances of your hair breaking and entangling. Keep the towel tied on your hair for 1-2 minutes, and not more.My hair feels less frizzy and the flyaways, which I really hate are also less.
• Remove the towel and let your hair dry naturally for about an hour. 
• When your hair feels almost dry, run a wide toothed comb or your fingers through to detangle the hair.
• Lastly, I take 4-5 drops of olive oil/almond oil and mix it with 1 teaspoon of water and apply it evenly all over my hair and comb (read tie-up) my hair. (Sighs)

The only hair care regimen that I follow is once a week, I apply oil (olive/almond/coconut) to my hair and leave it overnight.  I even tried experimenting with warm mustard oil but it smells yuck. I couldn’t sleep with mustard oil in my hair.   The best way to use mustard oil for hair is to warm it and leave it for 1-2 hours before hair wash. It’s much more bearable that way .

Hope you found these small tips helpful.

Do share your hair care tips and your HG hair products.

P.S. - Can you suggest some good hair style for my hair? I get my hair cut in steps but I am very much bored of it now. I am growing my now for a 5-6 inches. What do you think..I will be eagerly looking forward to your suggestions.

Lux Silk Nourishment Body Wash - Review

Lux Silk Nourishment Body Wash in Creamy Yogurt, Light Natural Honey and Mediterranean Olive Extracts - Review

The moment I enter any departmental store, I am like a kid in a candy shop. My mother always hopes that I will help her with the groceries and foodstuff but I always betray her and rush over to the skincare counters. It was during one of my recent betryal episodes, I reached out to this beauty. So here's the review :

About the Product :

I know the picture is crappy but it was taken from my camera phone.

My experience:

The bodywash has a silky texture and has a nice fragrance. It has a good consistency and is not very thick. I was a bit disappointed when I first used this bodywash because Lux's claim for rich creamy lather and irresistibly soft skin fell flat, atleast for me. However, the when taken on hand and lathers well but the lather hardly stays for few seconds and disappears from skin even before I could wash it off. I Love my bodywash to have a bit of staying fragrance, which stays for like an hour or two. After washing away, this Bodywash does'nt leave any fragrance :-(

I have a dry skin and bought this Bodywash solely for using it as a moisturising bodywash, but within an hour after the shower, My skin felt dry and I had to moisturise my skin. If you are looking for a moisturising bodywash, Dove Creme Bodywash is a much better option.

Hits for Lux Silk Nourishment Body Wash :

• Mild fragrance, though it wears off completely after shower.
• Price and the quantity.
• Nice consistency, nor too thick and nor too runny.
• Does not leave any oily feeling after washing off.

Misses for Lux Silk Nourishment Body Wash :

• Does not moisturise, atleast for dry skin. Dry skin needs to be moisturised after shower. May work well for normal and oily skin.
• Very less lather which disappears within few seconds even before washing it off.
• No lingering fragrance after shower. I like my bodywash to have a fragrance which lingers on for sometime. Personally, for me, I would have loved it even more if the fragrance was a bit strong. (I have a history of liking strong and masculine frangrances and ended up using my Dad's colognes most of the times :-P)

Have you used any Lux Bodywash ??
