Himalaya Purifying Neem Pack

Today I am going to review the Himalaya Purifying Neem Pack. I have recently bought this product. I like all the products of Himalaya because they are made up of natural ingredients. This face pack is made up of Neem and is proved to be very beneficial for those who are suffering from acne and who have large pores. It seems to reduce the pores. Lets have a look.

Product Packaging

Like all other Himalaya products this also comes in tube with flap lid. The top of the tube is having a opening from where you need to take out the product. The opening is covered with a flap lid. The tube is again white in color and the flap is dark green color. Like always it is having very normal packaging, nothing special.

Product Claim

A purifying pack that helps to regulate excess oil secretion, cleans clogged pores and prevents recurrence of pimples. Neem, well-known for its purifying and antibacterial properties, helps in controlling acne and pimples and their recurrence. Combined with Turmeric, it helps remove acne-causing bacteria. Fuller's Earth cools and soothes the skin, improving skin texture and leaving you clear and problem free skin.

How to Apply

Apply evenly over cleansed face and neck, avoiding the area around the eyes. Allow to dry for 10-15 mins. Remove with wet sponge and wash with cool water. Use once or twice a week. Do not apply on broken or inflamed skin.

Review

This pack is having good consistency and easy to apply over your face. The pack is dark green in color and you can feel the presence of neem in it. It smell like sandal wood. It will cause some tingly sensation but it is because of the presence of neem. It is really good product to treat acne and pimples. It somehow reduces the pores as well. Overall this is a nice product and live upto the expectation. I would surely recommend to use this product for oily skin.

Pros

• Made up of all natural ingredients : Neem, Turmeric and Fuller's earth.
• Really effective in pimples and acne.
• Removes oil and deep cleanses the skin.
• easy to apply, good consistency
• Affordable 

Cons

• Makes your skin dry, this is good for oily skin but not for dry skin
• Causes tingly sensation on application which is normal
• Large amount of product is required for application which is not good. One 50 gm tube will work for only 3-4 application.

Himalaya Gentle Exfoliating Walnut Scrub Review

Today I am reviewing Himalaya Exfoliating Walnut Scrub. I have recently purchased this scrub for daily use. Routine Cleansing does not remove dead skin cells and deeply embedded impurities, leaving skin lifeless and prone to blackheads. Exfoliating regularly is key to deep cleansing and removing debris. I would like to share my experience with this scrub, hope it will help you.

Review

This has a very mild fragrance which is ok. The consistency of this scrub is good and the granules present helps in exfoliating your skin. This is good for removing dry and dead skin and for deep cleansing your skin. The granules can be felt and are large enough to remove the dirt.

Pros

• Good Consistency
• Granules are more in number and helps in exfoliation
• very mild fragrance
• packaging is ok
• helps in deep cleansing and exfoliation
• affordable price
• good for daily use

Cons

• not mild scrub

Foot Care Routine for Beautiful Feet

We all follow skin care routine for face and hands but we often neglect foot care routine. Our feet beauty is equally important, beautiful feet gives you a confidence to wear any kind of footwear. We always feel confident and flaunt our feet if they are healthy, perfect and smooth. So as many of us can't go for regular pedicure, we can follow easy home remedies to keep our heals, feet healthy and smooth.

To take care of your feet you need to follow some tips regularly. I am segregating it to two parts for easy care that is daily routine and weekly routine. So lets discuss daily routine first.

Daily Foot Care Routine

Step 1 : Wash 
To wash your feet, take a tub and add little amount of Shampoo in warm water and then use it to wash your feet. Dip your feet in this water for some time and wash your feet. You need to clean your feet completely especially between the toes and heal.

Step 2 : Scrub
After washing use a pumice stone to scrub your heals and remove the dead skin cells and the dirt completely. Rub the pumice stone in circular motion gently on the top and bottom of your feet. And then again dip your feet in the warm water that you prepared in step 1 and wash them again. This will leave clean and clear feet.

Step 3 : Moisturise
After washing dry your feet with a soft towel, remember to dry it out completely otherwise it will promote fungal infection. Then after drying out, use a good foot moisturiser or body lotion or coconut oil to moisturise your feet completely including top and bottom of your feet.

These three simple steps if you follow daily will give you smooth and naturally beautiful feet.

Weekly Foot Care Routine

Step 1 : Wash your feet.
Add little amount of shampoo in warm water and dip your feet in it for some time. You can also add some drops of essential oil (tea tree oil, lavender oil or peppermint oil) of your choice to pamper your feet. Then later rinse your feet to wash them completely.

Benefit of adding essential oil

• Tea tree oil : Tea tree oil has anti fungal properties and also it is a natural deodorizer.
• Lavender oil : Lavender oil has wound healing properties.
• Peppermint oil : Peppermint oil has a very good cooling effect to re energize your feet. 

Step 2 : Scrub your feet
You can use any good foot scrub or home made foot scrub to scrub your feet. Apply the scrub all over your feet then massage it in circular motion for 5-10 mins. Then wash your feet with warm water.

Step 3 : Remove Dead Skin
Use a filer or pumice stone to remove the dead skin skin cells from your feet. Rub the pumice stone all over your feet gently in circular motion this will increase the blood circulation in your feet and gives a pinkish glow to your feet.

Step 4 : Massage your feet
Dry your feet completely then apply a good foot cream or a body lotion or coconut oil onto your feet and massage for some times. Massage the skin around nails, between the toes and heals especially. This will increase the blood circulation and give glow to the skin of your feet and also it will repair skin damages in your feet to keep them healthy and glowing.

Step 5 : Trim your toe nail.
Trim your toe nails and remove the dirt if any. Also trim the in grown nails other wise it will be painful. Regular trimming and filing of nails is very important for your feet to look good.

Step 6 : Nail Paint and Remover
Remove the nail paint from your feet using a good vitamin E rich nail paint remover and let your nails breath for some time. Then apply apply base coat of your nailpolish and wait for some time then apply the second coat of nail paint.

Follow these simple steps regularly and get beautiful and healthy feet.
