Review for Healthy Home UAE

Review Corner,

With more than 100 5-Star reviews and an average review rating of 4.8 on Google (4.9 star rating on Facebook!), I feel you shouldn’t skip reading about this one!

In this post you’ll read “What”, “Why”, and “How” of Healthy Home UAE!

Before we begin here are some quick facts for you:

  • The weight of the average mattress doubles after ten years due to dust mite infestation, and the weight of the average pillow increases 10% each year.
  • According to the Center for Disease Control, a used mattress can have anywhere between 1 to 10 million dust mites in it.
  • A gram (about a half teaspoon) of dust contains as many as 1,000 dust mites and 250,000 allergenic dust mite fecal pellets.
  • Dust mites reproduce to their original amounts every 6 months. There’s around 2 million in your average mattress!

What is “Healthy Home UAE”?

In there own words, The Healthy Home UAE® is a Dubai based family owned and operated SME born after a personal family history with asthma and allergy. The company was established after a family member was diagnosed with minor asthma and hay fever whilst he was only 16-months-old.

The cause of his health problems included high humidity and poor indoor air quality due to continuous usage of air-conditioning and lack of fresh air circulation at your house, which multiplied the dust mite population and thus affected the health.

Since then, they have been passionate about creating awareness of Indoor Environmental Quality and promoting a healthier lifestyle. Their promise is simple, “The Healthy Home ® strives to be your trusted hygiene and well-being provider” by:

  • Deep understanding of health and lifestyle risks.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil deep conditioning protein pack.

Review Corner, , ,
Palmer’s Coconut Oil pack

As much as I love going for outdoor activities my hair hates them all! I leave the home with most perfect hair one can probably ask for and come back with nothing different from a bush on my head (sometimes even worse!) I have extremely demanding hair (call them unruly, high maintenance, or whatever you may please!) If I don’t take proper care of them I experience hair fall, split ends and whatnot almost immediately. I might go without eating but I have to feed my hair Regularly! (sigh) (You can buy it here)

The question arises what to feed them?! (And you thought feeding a child was hard!) Apart from hair oils I always rely on hair masks. I try to rely on homemade hair masks but sometimes when you have a super busy day you need a quick fix, that is the time when ready-made hair masks come handy.

Picking the right hair mask

This step is a big task in itself. I ensure that I don’t end up applying chemicals to my hair. Chemicals might provide momentary benefits but in the long run, they harm your hair and might cause serious hair issues. I always take a lot of pain in picking The Right Hair Mask. Always read the ingredients, see if there is any term you don’t know and google it up. Try not to use anything that has artificial colour, or Sulfates, Sodium, etc. I ensure that it should be organic, natural and not tested on animals. When I got my hands on Palmer’s coconut hair mask, I immediately knew I have to try this one out. It had everything I was looking for in a hair mask.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil pack for that Back-From-Salon Hair Spa feel-

  • Brand- Palmer’s
  • Product- Coconut Oil deep conditioning protein pack
  • Main Ingredients- Ethnically and sustainably sourced Raw coconut oil, Vitamin E, infused with flower petals.
  • Plus points- Free from harmful chemicals and Parabens. No added fragrance, No gluten, No added colour. No Sulfates. Not tested on animals (Always make sure that you read about this), Sustainably sourced. Suited for damaged and coloured hair as well.

My Experience- 

So as per the directions you may either leave it on for 10-15 minutes or overnight for extra hydration. I opted for extra hydration as I have dry ends and has returned from a (very) sunny day on the beach. My hair was crying for help! I washed my hair, applied Palmer’s Coconut Oil deep conditioning protein pack to the strands, covered it with a cap and said goodnight!

I woke up and Voila I knew it was a good hair day for me! I could feel it! My hair felt smooth and not heavy at all. I noticed I had a subtle shine (very rare for me! LoL) My hair smelled good, the smell is very light (a plus point for me, not a fan of coconut smell!) I noticed that my hair also had volume. My hair was manageable and the dry ends were almost gone too.

For me, this product is a thumbs up! Confused about a product, read the review here before buying it.

Review for Palmers Olive Oil Shampoo and Conditioner.

Review Corner, ,

Palmers Olive Oil Range cause you can have a good hair day Everyday!

Palmers Olive Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

Its is no longer a secret that I am pretty obsessed with taking care of my hair and my hair is always my top priority! I research about each main ingredient, I read reviews for the product, I try to know about the brand and then only I decide whether the product goes up on my head or not!

Before I begin talking about the product itself, let’s talk about the brand.

Why Palmer’s?

Palmer’s today has presence in more than 80 countries across the globe and has maintained its leadership position across many product categories and beauty needs. Today Palmer’s products are found in major retail stores across the globe. I personally love their products, read my review for different products here.

Key Facts:

  • 100% Pure ingredients which means No sulphates,
  • No Parabens or Phthalates
  • Free from mineral oil or Gluten,
  • Doesn’t contain dye.
  • Palmer’s is against animal testing

When it comes to Palmer’s, the time spent on researching about the brand is saved since I have used (and Loved) their products in the past. It is a brand I trust and now Love!

Since I was a kid, hot Olive Oil massage was The Answer to all my hair woes, my mother regraded Olive Oil as a magic potion for hair.

Olive oil is rich in omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin E, the oils penetrate the hair shaft and re-balances the hair’s ability to hold moisture, while the vitamin E fights off the free-radical damage from sunlight and pollution.

5 reasons Why you need to start using Olive Oil for hair.

  1. Say Good bye to dandruff
  2. No more split ends
  3. Soft and manageable hair
  4. Boasts hair growth
  5. Calms down the scalp

Palmer’s new hair care range has made use of this Magic Potion to produce some amazing products.

Key Ingredients-

100% pure Extra Virgin Olive, Jamaican Black Castor Oil and Vitamin E

Good to know-

The Extra Virgin Olive Oil has vitamins and minerals which acts as antioxidants protecting hair and skin from damaging free radicals Vitamin E Aides in repairing hair damage.  Jamaican Black Castor Oil has a strong lipid content helping relieve dry, itchy scalp while protecting hair from styling damage.

My Personal Experience-

I used the shampoo for a week, after the first use itself I didn’t feel there was a need to apply conditioner, which came as a surprise for me, since I have extremely frizzy hair! It made my hair manageable and at the same time didn’t leave them greasy at the roots. The leave in conditioner gives your hair a subtle shine and made my hair soft. It didn’t make the hair limp, so it’s definitely a plus point for people who want shine and volume. I had no problems in combing my hair and hair felt smoother. The effect on hair was hard to ignore! Highly recommended for people with frizzy and dry hair.

Review Corner, , ,

Summer is here and for a person who believes in the saying “Sun over my head and feet in the sand” it is a tough task to ensure that summer sun doesn’t leave me dull and dry 🌞

Palmer’s Foot Magic

I have noticed that my long walks on the Beach often leave me with dry and dull feet. Which is a strict No-No. (Imagine all those cute flip-flops that you CAN’T wear because of cracked heels and rough skin) This is where I came across Foot Magic by Palmer’s.

So I am constantly looking for foot creams and oils to hydrate and keep my feet Happy! I am glad to tell you that My eternal search has finally ended as I have found a solution to my woes.

Read on to know How my search ended on a happy note!

Product used- Cocoa Butter formula Foot Magic by Palmer’s

Plus points- Palmer’s never test their products on animals (Always make sure that you read about this), free from harmful chemicals and Parabens. Softens rough skin without making it greasy, is effective right after the first application.

Main Ingredients-

  • Peppermint Oil
  • Mango Butter

  • Cocoa Butter

My Experience-

So I Cleaned my feet and applied the cream at night and then covered with cotton socks, as mentioned in the directions to use. The consistency is thick like butter but gets absorbed without giving that sticky feeling. Peppermint gives a cooling sensation, Shea butter smoothens the rough skin and Vitamin-E hydrates it. In the morning you will notice a positive difference. The skin around the heels feels smooth, you will notice that the ridges have reduced and the skin looks hydrated.

I Repeated this for 5 days and the result is difficult to ignore! 👣I have super soft skin and there are no signs of rough skin anymore. For me, It’s Time to hit the Beach Again, without any worries! I am stepping out with confidence, Thanks to Palmer’s. Read my review for other Palmer’s products here.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil with Vitamin E Luminous Hydration Facial Oil”

Luminous Hydration Facial oil by Palmers

An oil that improves texture, gives a subtle glow, hydrates your skin and doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket!

My Review for Luminous Hydration Facial oil by Palmers-

Blessed with super dramatic oily to combination skin loves to throw a pimple or two very often! Hence, I am always sceptical about using oils on my face, mainly because most of them are heavy and clog the pores, which means they do more harm than good. Hate to admit but all my life I never applied any oil to my face. Ever! It was only after I got my hands (more than 6 months now!) Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil that I start using Facial Oils.

I have to admit, now the only regret I have is- Why didn’t I start using oil on my face before!

Since I had already used a facial oil by Palmer’s so I was a bit less sceptical about using Palmer’s Luminous Hydration Facial oil! I started by doing my own FBI research on the internet! Not only did I come across some amazing reviews but also how this oil can be used in so many different ways. This lightweight formula doesn’t clog pores, in fact, you can use it under your makeup for a dewy glow, you can mix it with your night cream, use it as a massage oil for the face, use it post face mask, and so on! Endless possibilities! Read more reviews here.

Why use it?

In this product, exotic oils reduce fine lines and wrinkles, moisturize the skin and hydrate it. This is a non-greasy and lightweight formula. It’s Hypoallergenic – Paraben Free – Phthalate Free – dermatologist tested product that makes Skin looks younger-looking with a more glowing and firm appearance.

Review for Luminous Hydration Facial oil by Palmers

Ingredients?

Let us now talk about the ingredients! We are all aware of the fact of how helpful oils are in maintaining their youthful and natural glow. Oils (not all oils though!) help in maintaining the elasticity of the skin, rejuvenating it, hydrating the skin and also help in keeping problems like acne, pimples, scars, etc. at the bay!

A blend of Skin-Loving Natural Oils-

  • Coconut Oil, 
  • Sweet Almond Oil,
  • Grape Seed Oil, 
  • Sesame Seed Oil,
  • Macadamia Oil, 
  • Apricot Kernel Oil, 
  • Sunflower Seed Oil, 
  • Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, 
  • Passionfruit Seed Oil, 
  • Cocoa Seed Butter, etc.

Each oil has unique properties that are beneficial for the skin. The blend of these exotic oils is enriched with essential vitamins and nutrients to soften, smoothen and plump the skin while visibly rejuvenating and toning it.

How to use it?

I personally love those products that I can use in more than one way, it makes it so easy to include them in the daily skincare regime.

  • You can use it under your makeup (massage few drops before applying the foundation or BB cream) for a dewy glow.
  • Mix it with your night cream.
  • Perfect facial oil for hydration.
  • It can be used after using a face mask or scrub.
  • You can even add a few drops to your daily face cream if you have dry or dehydrated skin.
  • Or you may use it as it is!

Charcoal and Marine Algae for skin?

Review Corner, , ,

Did you just say Charcoal and Marine Algae??! Well! Yes! Presenting Charcoal and Marine Algae range by DermaE

Charcoal and Marine Algae range by DermaE

I have been holidaying and neglecting my blog (guilty!) for a month. Ever since I came back to UAE my body hasn’t been able to cope up with the heat (it was literally half the temperature of what we have here!) Finally I am back to reviewing products, and I have some very innovative and effective products in my kitty (insert dancing emoji here!) Stay Tuned and wish me Get Well Soon so I can be active here again!

I am up for anything that will give my skin relief from this scorching heat. The temperature in UAE is increasing every day, for people who cannot sit at home skincare in summers is a big concern. I try to apply sunscreen and wear protective clothing while going out but then that is not enough. Summers require extra care if you (like mine!) have sensitive and acne-prone skin.

The sebum production increases making the skin prone to acne, redness, sensitivity and so on. I needed something that would bring back the hydration I lost from my skin and something that would cool down my skin. This is where I decided to try this scrub followed by a mask. I used them twice a week following the instructions and I am more than happy to share the reviews now!

Read on to know how DermaE combined two miraculous products in one cute pack! 

  • Brand Name- DermaE
  • Products I tried- Purifying 2-in-1 charcoal mask and Daily Detox Scrub.
  • Main Ingredients of the products- Marine Algae and Activated Charcoal
  • Plus points- Vegan and Cruelty-free, No Parabens.

My Personal Experience-

I used the scrub followed by the mask. The scrub is amazing, not too harsh on the skin, leaves the skin squeaky clean! The mask is just too cool! I loved how it calmed down my sensitive skin. It cleanses out the pores, absorbs extra oil, removes redness and puffiness.

Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of the skin, helping you to achieve a flawless complexion and fights acne.

Algae isn’t considered a conventional beauty ingredient, but it has been used in skincare for thousands of years. Its been dubbed a “miracle ingredient” and the ocean’s most potent secret,” and there are even entire skincare lines and brands dedicated to using algae and other marine extracts. 

Finally verdict-

My skin felt sensational cooling, the scrub removed dead skin, I could see improvement in the T zone area. I felt that the mask was very apt for summers, I am in love with this Charcoal and Marine Algae range by DermaE.

If you are (still!) sceptical about the ingredients read why you need to include them in your skincare regime.  You can buy it here online.

Reasons To Add Activated Charcoal To Your Beauty Regimen-

  • An All-Natural Ingredient
  • Antibacterial and Anti-fungal Properties
  • Unclogs Pores
  • Balances Oily Skin
  • Gently Exfoliates

Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of the skin, helping you to achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne. Charcoal is not metabolized, adsorbed or absorbed by the body, but it can be used to treat some poisonous bites and disinfect some wounds. Activated charcoal powder is proven to adsorb thousands of times its own mass in harmful substances, which makes it a popular ingredient in facial masks.

The Benefits Algae Bring To Your Skin:

Algae come with some caveats, as do all beauty product ingredient claims. “There’s enough science here to say that algae, seaweed and kelp may provide some benefits but of course it depends on the specific type of extract, how it’s processed, and how much is used,” Schueller cautioned.

In general, algae are known to contain:

  • Protein and amino acids, up to 60% protein by dry weight
  • Vitamins A (beta-carotene), C (ascorbic acid), E and K

Many of the B-complex vitamins, including B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), choline, biotin, niacin, folic acid, pantothenic acid and B12 (cobalamin)

Minerals and trace minerals, including iodine, calcium, chloride, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and zinc

  • Omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA, DHA, GLA and ALA
  • Active enzymes
  • Phytochemicals like chlorophyll, fucoxanthin and other plant pigments.

All in all, this Charcoal and Marine Algae range by DermaE is a hit! Read more product reviews here.

Review for Palmers Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner.

Review Corner, , ,

Meet the Straight-Outta-Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner duo!

I think I am going coco-over this new coconut range! Just like coconut quenches your thirst and keeps you hydrated, this range does the same for your hair.

Before I begin, here’s an advice, make it a habit to research the brand and the ingredients used in your products before you start using it. So, with this being said, when I talk about Palmers Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner you need to know Why Coconut and Why Palmers?

Review for Palmers Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner

About Palmers Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner:

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula products contain ethically and sustainably sourced Coconut Oil and Tahitian Monoï, infused with Tiaré flower petals. These ingredients provide intense hydration and repair damaged hair. Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Shampoo is a rich, creamy shampoo, free of sulfates and harsh detergents, that gently cleanses and removes buildup without stripping hair or interrupting its delicate moisture balance. Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Coconut Oil Repairing Conditioner is a rich, creamy conditioner that instantly detangles and coats strands for silkier, shinier and easier to manage hair.

Why Palmers?

  • Contains No Sulfates
  • Free from Parabens
  • No Phthalates
  • Doesn’t have Mineral Oil or Gluten
  • No Dyes

Why Coconut?

The vitamins and essential fatty acids naturally found in coconut oil nourish the scalp and help to remove sebum build-up from hair follicles. Coconut helps in combating hairfall, dandruff, split-ends, premature greying, etc.

My Personal Experience-

I was using Palmers Shea Butter range which is a match made in heaven for my hair! When I received this one I decided to try them just for the sake of “trying” because I was already head over heels in love with the Shea range! I am glad these two didn’t let me down! My hair felt smoother and it was easy to manage them (which doesn’t happen if I use any random shampoo!) This shampoo-conditioner duo didn’t make my hair heavy (I have oily roots and dry ends, weirdest combo ever!). They smell like coconut and the fragrance lingers for long.

The shampoo and conditioner work for anyone who has dry, brittle or dull hair. It hydrated the hair without making them limp. I personally loved the fragrance and stays for long!

About the Coconut Body Lotion:

I also received a cute tiny sample for coconut body lotion. Palmer’s Coconut Oil Body Lotion contains high levels of naturally occurring fatty acids and proteins that are essential in keeping skin radiant and healthy looking. I have been using this one for over a year now and there’s no way am I going back to any other lotion! I love using it on my skin before I sleep, in the morning you can actually feel the difference.

More about the brand:

Palmer’s uses only the finest ingredients to provide consumers the highest quality formulas at affordable prices. All of our products are hand crafted based on Palmer’s long standing heritage and experience in offering superior formulations that deliver results. This is why Palmer’s promise to its consumers has always been an unconditional guarantee of quality.
