Review: Steam Cream

*PR Sample
I have used many moisturizers and while my favorites are often SPF day creams or
mattifying creams, I've never really taken a fancy to any night creams apart from Steamcream.  Steamcream is a moisturizer that can be used on your face, hands and other areas. I just use this on my face but I do tend to rub in what ever is left on my hands after application too. The texture and consistency is almost gel like. 





STEAMCREAM is handmade using only the highest quality, natural ingredients (as you would expect from any product affiliated with Lush!) The ingredients (otherwise chemically incompatible) are fused together by the interesting and latest development in beauty products.




SteamCream is packed within 75ml travel friendly patterned tins, which are all limited edition so are only available for short periods of time. They all retail for £12.95 each. I own the 'Fiore' design which is adorned with beautiful colourful flowers. I love that once I've finished my cream, I can keep and re-use the tin afterwards too as it's so pretty. Once the cream has been opened, it has quite a short shelf life of just 6 months.

Review: Rojukiss Natural Aqua Celtic Cream

*PR Sample
To achieve flawless skin is what most women struggles for. Aside from the genes which we inherit from our parents which play a vital impact to having good skin, choice of good and effective cosmetics falls next. While some women are gifted with such beautiful and glowing skin, many others are struggling to win their battle against acne, dryness and other skin conditions.
I was recently sent a sample of the Rojukiss Natural Aqua Celtic Cream and now I've been using it for few weeks i wanted to tell you about it because it has seriously impressed me. I was really excited to try this out because, as we all know, Koreans have really nice, flawless skin and who wouldn't want that?

The color of the product reminds the sea. It looks very calming and the scent is just amazing.

How to Use:
After applying toner or lotion, put suitable amount of cream on palm and apply smoothly all over the face and neck along with the skin texture to make it absorbed. As the final step of skin care, you need to cover face with the whole palms and press gently to make absorption higher.





It is very spreadable and not oily at all because this one is gel based. No greasy feeling; quite sticky at first though. Cooling effect is really nice. s this cream does not contain oil, it was successful in keeping my face hydrated yet non greasy.

Review: Queenie May's vanishing cream


What a magic phrase...
Vanishing Cream.

I'm afraid it will not make all your unwanted bits magically vanish but instead it refers to the way it "vanishes" into your skin after application.
Queenie May's Vanishing Cream is made from a recipe from the 1930s, using an Olive Oil base.
Company Says

Vanishing Cream is the forerunner to modern day Moisturizers.
It is light and silky soft, and will keep your face and hands moisturized all day long.
Use either every night after cleansing with Cold Cream, or in the morning.





We simply splash our face with water in the morning, and after drying liberally apply Vanishing Cream.


The beautiful jar will look so glamorous on your dresser.





Plus Points

1. It really is a low fat moisturizer. True to its name, it simply vanishes within minutes leaving your skin well moisturized, soft and supple without a trace of greasiness. Love that!!!

 2. I love the smell of this stuff… I find it calming(perhaps because of the essential oils).Its not overboard.


 3. It has never ever given me a breakout which I must admit should have been the top most point. Oh! its such a blessing when you actually find a product that's suiting your skin.. I have used this cream in the peak summer months in Pakistan weather and not a single breakout.. What more could I ask for??




 4. I have noticed a reduction in the blemishes on my face ever since I started using this cream and I can say that because I am only using this moisturizer apart from my cleanser, toner and sunscreen. My face is clearer and stayed clearer in summers which is such a happy feeling. Of course the cleanser and the night cream has a big role to play in this. I will review them separately.


 5. The quantity one requires is simply pea-size..that covers my face and neck (though I don't use on neck much. I prefer sunscreen there). So the pot lasts for a good duration. I have been using mine since before the beginning of summers except during monsoons when I avoided all moisturizers in general and I still have half the pot left.



You can buy this from their website.

Review: MelanSol Sunscreen and Moisturizer

MelanSol is a company that only produces 100% natural skin care products for you and your family. MelanSol sent me two of their products to try out. I was sent their SPF 10 sunscreen and hand and body moisturizer. Both of these products are full of antioxidants and are very good for your skin and have no harmful chemicals in them. Read on and find out how I liked MelanSol’s sunscreen and moisturizer.

Company Says


MelanSol has a line of 100% natural skin care products, including sunscreen, sunburn relief gel, baby sunscreen, and moisturizer – all chemical free. Not only does the packaging list the active and inactive ingredients, they also list how long the sunscreen will last, how often to apply, and other sun protection measures. I like that they’re working with you to keep your skin healthy. An added bonus is that the MelanSol products are certified as 100% natural by the Natural Products Association, come in biodegradable and recyclable packaging, and are not tested on animals.


MelanSol SPF Sunscreen





The sunscreen has a pleasant botanical smell, went on very easily and without leaving any white marks, and did not feel greasy. The color is light brown and that is because of the green tea that is added to the sunscreen for the health benefits. Do not be alarmed at the color of this sunscreen because it goes on nice and evenly.


Features





Broad Spectrum–Tested and Verified for UVA & UVB radiation
UVA Rating High
UVB Rating-SPF-30–Filters 97% of UVB Radiation
Formula Will Not Burn Your Eyes and Can Also Be Used to Protect Your Lips

A Clear, Non-greasy Formula That Dry’s Quickly
Chemical Free Formula Won’t Burn Your Eyes.
Designed For Skin That is Sensitive to Sunlight

Water Resistant (40 minutes)
Gluten Free


MelanSol Moisturizer




The moisturiser is quite thin in consistency, but that does not mean it’s not heavy duty. It moisturises my skin and disappears into my skin with rubbing just a few times, no oily feeling or stickiness. I used it everyday for a month during and did not get any tanning. The sun was’nt really bright, so I used it before stepping out. The real test would be the soon approaching summers in north India. I hardly use a sunscreen in summers, but I am very eager to try this out. I can’t say much about the ageing because I don’t have any signs of aging yet. I am 28. Maybe they will appear after a few years.

Benefits Of Watermelon for Health and Skin

Several foodstuffs are enjoyable to eat, and watermelon is surely one of these. Watermelons are tasty, mouthwatering summer fruits with many health providing elements.


Watermelon's botanical name, Catullus vulgaris, derives from the diminutive kind of citrus, making reference to the color and shape of the fruit, and vulgaris meaning typical or ordinary fruit.






Origin

Watermelon is considered to have come from southern Africa, where it is identified growing wild. It attains maximum hereditary diversity there, with juicy, bland and sour varieties. In the 19th century, Alphonse de Candolle stated the watermelon was native to tropical Africa. 

Though Catullus colocynths is usually known to be an outrageous relative of watermelon and is now seen native in north and west Africa, it has been encouraged on the basis of chloroplast DNA research that the harvested and wild watermelon differed easily from a typical ancestor, possibly C. cirrhosis from Namibia.


Types of watermelon

Lots of watermelon cultivars have been produced by farmers and experts over the years; they differ highly in taste, texture, and color. 







Here are some of them:

  • Sugar Baby
  • Sangria
  • Golden Midget
  • Starlight
  • Jubilee
  • Crimson Sweet
  • Sweet Favorite


Nutrients in watermelon


Watermelons are low in calories and very nourishing. Watermelon is also full lycopene, second only to tomatoes. 


Latest studies suggest that lycopene, an effective antioxidant, helps prevent some types of cancer and heart problems. According to research performed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, men who used a lycopene-rich diet plan were half as likely to have a heart attack as those who had little or no lycopene in their diets plans. Watermelon is also full of vitamin C and vitamin A, by means of disease-fighting beta carotene. 



Lycopene and beta carotene work in addiction to other plant chemicals not present in vitamin or mineral supplements. Watermelon also consists of potassium, which is considered to help control blood pressure and even avoid strokes. A wedge of watermelon, or about 1 2/3 cups: 92 cal. 1.77 g pro., 20.54 g carb., 1.43 g dietary fiber, 332 mg potassium, 27.46 mg. vitamin C, 1046.76 IU vitamin A.


 Benefits

Watermelons are full of several vitamins: vitamin A that helps maintain eye health and is an antioxidant; vitamin C, which helps support immunity, recover injuries, reduce cell damage, and encourage healthy teeth and gums; and vitamin B6, which helps brain function and helps change protein to energy. Watermelon, however, has the maximum level of lycopene of any fresh fruit or vegetable.

Skin Care Tips and Watermelon



 
Watermelon is very ideal for getting rid of spots on the skin. Due to its hydrating properties, it proves to be a great skin care. The non-greasy oil helps to relax your skin by renovating the flexibility of the skin. It is commonly applied as massage oil, baby oil, facials, face creams, salt scrubs, shower bath as well as hair oil.
