Not organic or natural so I didn’t actual get that Feel Good factor while using it. There was no brightening but yes skin felt very hydrated. Useful in case you are travelling or don’t have time for skin care regime.
Final Verdict-
Missing the Wow-factor, didn’t do much for the skin. I will give it 3 out of 5.

Ingredients found in this Face Mask are:
Organic Turmeric

Some ‘Good to Know’ facts about the ingredients used in the mask:
1. Turmeric-
All the Desis in the house give me a shout ’cause we are now going to talk about Haldi a.k.a Turmeric! Who knew Turmeric is more than just staining hands and leaving our perfectly manicured hands Yellow like Shi… Never mind! Do you know the turmeric plants were cultivated by Harappan civilisation earlier in the 3000 B.C!! Turmeric is known as the Golden Spice not just because of the color but also because of the numerous benefits it has.
Benefits for the skin:

Antioxidant Properties

2. Neem-
Botanical name Azadirachta indica, a native to the Indian subcontinent, Neem is a common house-hold name when it comes to treating acne and pimples owing to it’s Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Inflammatory properties.
Benefits for the skin:
Antibacterial Properties
Enhances Blood Circulation

3. Yellow Clay-
French Yellow Clay draws out impurities via the skin, detoxifying and helping decongest blocked pores, essential minerals within the clay are released helping heal and repair the skin. It helps stimulates blood circulation to the skin, tones and exfoliates gently. It draws out impurities from the body while the essential minerals within the clay are released. It stimulates the circulation of blood and lymph, removes dead skin cells, and tones & strengthens connective tissues to leave skin smooth, fresh & radiant.
Benefits for the skin:

Draws the impurities out
4. Multani Mitti (Fuller’s earth)-
Multani mitti or the fuller’s earth is the first thing that comes my mind when somebody talks about skin care! I think it is one of the most common and effective ingredient when it comes to skin care. The fuller’s earth has a cooling effect on the skin, it helps in sucking out the extra oil from the skin, and so on.
Benefits for the skin:
Oil control
Removes tan
Cleanses the skin
Skin tightening
Cures sunburns
First impression of the mask:
As soon as I opened the tub, I could smell Turmeric and Clay. I followed the instructions given on the pack and prepared the mask. The mask was easy to apply since the powder was really fine, I had no issues in mixing or in applying it. The mask, as I said, has turmeric, so be careful as it will stain your clothes, hands, etc.
My experience with the mask:
When I first used the mask I had two huge zits coming up, so in my mind I thought that this is going to be a litmus test for the mask!! I followed the instructions and washed it off using room temperature water. I noticed that my face was still very yellow (which is very normal if you are used to using turmeric in your masks) since I used it over the weekend I did not panic on seeing my face Yellow! I noticed my zits were little more red than they were before (once again, turmeric and neem does that to your skin, so no need to panic)
I used it 2 times in a week with a gap of minimum 3 days in between. Right after the second application, I noticed that one of the zit had shrunk in size and the other one had started peeling. I have combination skin type and after using the mask I felt my skin was oil free for considerable amount of time. I also noticed that the pores around my nose and chin area looked clean. The mask did not make my skin burn or cause redness after the second use (There was a bit of redness after the 1st use since I had 2 Huge pimples on my face at that time.)
Over all:
Biggest surprise was the noticeable reduction in the size of the active zits. Skin felt cleaner and was oil free for a comparatively longer period of time. The pores looked clean, and skin felt tighter after washing the mask off. I had a tough time getting rid of yellowness after washing the face with only water. After discussing this with Nena from Womn Cosmetics, whom I can’t stop admiring enough for taking such keen interest in each feedback. She advised me to use a mild cleanser or scrub after washing the mask, which helped me in removing the yellowness completely. The skin felt very light (people with oily skin will understand what this means!) The mask is perfect for people who suffer from constant acne and pimples.
The pack is suitable for sensitive skin, however Always do a patch test since every skin is different. Read more about Womn Cosmetics here.
Read the review for Avocado Dream body butter by Womn Cosmetics and why you need to include avocados to your skincare regime.
Avocados are something I swear by, from delicious salads to amazing face masks, from hair masks to delicious shakes. So when I first saw this product by Womn Cosmetics I had Very high hopes as it had my favourite Avocado in it!

Product- Avocado Dream body butter
Plus point- Handmade, Natural, Organic, free from harmful chemicals and Parabens. Comes in a very convenient tub. (Read my old blog-post to know more about this amazing brand)
Main Ingredients- Avocado, Coconut and Shea Butter
–First of all Why Avocado?
Avocados are considered a “Super Food” and have a special position in the food calorie pyramid.
Excellent source of over twenty vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B, C, E and K, riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium, beta-carotene, omega-3 fatty acids.
For years, people have used avocado as a natural facial treatment for its antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
Used extensively for its ability to heal and soothe the skin.
They are added to a variety of cosmetics due to their ability to nourish the skin and make it glow.
My Personal Experience:
The cream literally melts in your hand (indicates the presence of Shea Butter, another ingredient that’s great for skin). It spreads easily leaving behind no stickiness. The skin feels smooth and lustrous right after the first use. I used it straight for a week and the difference in the texture of skin was remarkable. Great for nourishing and hydrating the skin. The body butter had a very hydrating and nourishing effect. The skin felt supple and looked moisturised.
So, Avocado Dream body butter by Womn Cosmetics is definitely worth 5 stars! Something I would definitely repurchase in future. You can read more about them here.
Winter is here and so is dry skin! Read on to know about skincare with Palmers and how you can get 24 hrs protection without re-applying lotion every hour!
Skincare in winters with Palmers
Skincare and Plamers:
Hurray Winter is here (finally!) The season to cuddle up in a blanket, wear cozy sweaters, gulp down hot chocolate while reading your favorite novel! This is the season when I turn myself into a two-legged polar bear!!
I love those foggy mornings and the cool wind at night, it is by far the favorite part of the year. The winters in UAE are quite different from the ones we had back in India, here the winters are mild but can make your skin extremely dry and itchy. I remember how I suffered last year!
Winter is also the season when our skin needs extra moisture and here is when Palmer’s range of Cocoa Butter Formula comes to our rescue and ensuring 24 hrs moisture. No more re-applying body lotion every hour!

Daily Skin Therapy-Vitamin E, Cocoa, Corn Oil
My Personal Experience-
Apply the body oil right after taking a shower onto the damp skin, massage till the oil is absorbed, towel dry as usual.
I was quite apprehensive before using the oil as I feared greasy and sticky skin but surprisingly it did not make my skin heavy, the skin felt supple and smelled great. The oil is easy to apply and spreads evenly. The skin was hydrated till I washed it, so if you apply it in the morning after the shower, expect smooth skin throughout the day.
The skin therapy cream for skincare is of thicker consistency as compared to normal creams. It should be used on the areas that need more hydration (perfect for stretch marks, elbows, knees, body marks, etc) I have been using it for over a week, I apply it before going to bed over the concerned areas and the skin feels super smooth in the morning, the skin has been smoother than ever. I also like to use it as a cuticle cream, makes the nail shinier and since it has Vitamin E, it will make the nails stronger. I also use it around my knees and elbows. There has been noticeable reduction in the rough skin, I will continue to use it to see if there is a reduction in marks/scars.
Final Verdict-
The products are perfect for skincare in winters, providing high level of hydration without making the skin greasy.
