Ponds Flawless White Deep Whitening Facial Foam ~ Picture and Review

Ponds Flawless White Deep Whitening Facial Foam 

Do you girls keep on repeating your favorite cosmetics like always,,The reason why I am asking this is that I have been using the same face wash and cleansing foam for like 2 years and now I am bored of even seeing them everyday. Its not like I did not use any other face wash in between,but well,,they didn't fare as well as my favorites did. So, when I was in the supermarket few weeks back, I stumbled upon the ponds flawless white range and thought of giving a shot to the facial foam,, (loved the pink+white combo) and I am happy I did.

Although its winter but there is no respite from pollution in the air so a good cleanser which not only cleanses/scrubs but also moisturizes the face,, is very necessary. Our skin gets ripped of its moisture in winters and thus my skin  loves the extra love of  scrubs and cleansers in this season. So all in all I got it and started trying it few weeks back and its really good, its doing good for my skin in this chilly weather and I really love it for this.

I use this facial foam two times a day, using circular cleansing motion and then washing it off with luke warm water. The results are awesome, not only it is cleaning my skin very well but the little pink white granules in it scrubs my skin lightly and leaves a glowy effect that lasts long.

The packaging is very attractive, lovely white and pink tube with a pretty pink cap. Its almost one month that I have been using it and its not even half empty,, 
For the white effect ~ I don't give any attention to this, I buy and re-buy stuff that I genuinely like and personally all this stuff is marketing gimmicks and nothing else.

It's thick in consistency like any ponds cream but even a pea sized amount makes so much foam that I am always trying to take out less amount than what I took out the last time :D

It needs to be followed by moisturizing your face with your favorite moisturizer. :)

What the packaging states ~

Enriched with new VAO-B3 complex, this foaming cleanser washes away the dirt, oil and impurities that cause dullness, revealing bright, sparkling skin underneath.

All in all a  good change from my staples and umm,,change is good na,,I needed Change , well I need change in lots of other stuff too and yup there are some major changes going on,,which I will be sharing with all of you super soon...

Price : 175 INR
Quantity : 100 gm

Recommendation : yes please, though I personally feel this will suit girls with oily skin more than the ones with dry skin.

Thanks

How to get rid of Acne forever~completely natural solution

I always had smooth skin and never felt the need to look after it besides the normal skin care routine I was practicing since long,,come 2010 and my face started breaking out like crazy,,It was like a bunch of red spots on my cheeks and rest of the face crystal clear.. :|

Honestly speaking ,, I never took this issue seriously,, I was not bothered much because allot of other stuff in my life was taking my full attention, so it was something that caught my attention quite late.

My problem with acne was this ~ 3-4 Active acne on my face with a bunch of red spots..nothing too severe but yes It started making me feel a bit low because I am that kind of a person who likes to doll up every single day :D LOL

Long story short,,,I wanted to get rid of the acne but did not had the time and patience to go for treatments or even using creams to curb off that issue completely,,in short,,a lazy bum,, ;)

So, I started asking my mum about if she ever had this issue or if any of her sister had it in their young days(I wanted to ask things that dated some 25-30 yrs back because I thought they would be completely natural and nothing cosmetic ),, My mum never had this issue but one of her sister had and she was cured by using Neem leaves,,leaves churned and mixed in hot water and then made to drink. Honestly speaking I didn't had the guts to gulp down Hot Neem water,,but this idea caught my fancy to a great extent.
A couple of days later I came up with this small method which I had used consistently for 3-4 months ,3-4 times a week and voila,,,I am acne free,, ACNE free for last 5 months,,no spots,,no breakouts,,no redness,,completely cured.
But I do use it like once in 8-10 days as it also serves as a great hydrating mask for my skin :)

Enough of blabbering..
