Do men in your life take care of their skin? {Skin Care}

Well, at present, I just have my father and yes, he is very conscientious about his skin. He uses anti-aging cream from Garnier and does love to try out various things :D In fact, yesterday, he was telling me how I completely filled up his closet with my products!!! I keep a stock of products in Delhi so I won't have to travel with my toilet kit and even then, every time my toilet kit weighs more than my clothes!! Yeah, I am weird.

And, since their closet is full, mom and dad decided that they will use up my products!! And, my mom is one who doesn't really bother a lot. So, the duty falls into dad's responsibilities. So, yesterday, we fell into talking about things and I said that don't forget to do the same things with the neck as your do with the face and my dad was like "ya ya, otherwise it will look different na"!! And, honestly, I was astonished :D

So, do you have any men in your life who look after their skin as well? And, speaking of which, I got a mail saying my haul has been dispatched and I am looking forward to recieveing it...yay!! I just can't wait to start using the products, more so the shampoo. Oh yes, that also reminds me that I have got to go for a hair cut on Monday or Tuesday!!

Garnier Daily Care Gentle Cleansing Milk {Product Review}

So, on the days you do not want to write anything serious, product reviews can be a boon but let me make it very clear when you are doing a serious review, writing the review itself is a huge issue!! Anyways, coming back to the product, I am not a fan of cleansing milks because they get empty very soon :(

This cleansing milk is very thin and spreads easily on the face and neck and arms easily. It does remove the makeup pretty well. I can not really talk about kajal, though. But, then, kajal is probably the most stubborn in my stash except for mascara.

---

Pros

removes makeup really well

does not leave any film on the skin

gets washed off easily

---

So, that's pretty much my review of the product. Btw, I want to leave you pondering on something which I want to discuss soon enough. What is the difference between face washes and cleansers and cleansing milks? Do you think one can be used in place of another?

Also, I would like to tell you all that I shall probably not be around this weekend on the blog so please excuse the unanswered comments. These days I am getting time to answer them only in the weekends. So, see ya all on Monday. And, wish you all a very Happy Independence Day :)

Availability
The product is easily available but I got it from myntra.

Have you used the product? What special are you doing for the Independence Day?

PS: Product sent by website.

Garnier Pure Active Pore unclogging wash {Product Review}

So, just on the weekend I revealed that I absolutely love this particular product. Little did I know that I had almost run out of the product so I would anyway be doing the product review within 3 days! Anyways, as I said earlier this is amazing for oily and acne-prone skin though I am not really sure about the dry skin. 

Let me start with the packaging. Hate it! First, the product just comes out as soon as you unscrew the cap. Also, you get more than enough of the product because of which you tend to overuse it and run out of the facewash early. It lasted just 15-18 days with two uses per day. Also, if it came with a flip top cap, it would have been easy to open it in the shower otherwise the tube feels a little slippery in water. 

---

Pros

feels cool on skin

removes blackheads completely

helps to avoid breakouts

---

Now, let me come to the good. It is a light blue tinged in color and foams really well. Well, it does have SLS :( Anyways, it feels so so cool on your face after applying as if you have poured a lot of menthol on the face. Damn awesome in summers specially. Might not be a really great feel in winters, though :D

Now, it has salicylic acid so yes the blackheads are all GONE! First product which actually works on blackheads and I do think it works on breakouts as well because I did have a few bumps thanks to my skin-picking habit which did not dwell for more than 24 hours. It definitely helps in prevention if not cure. 

---

Cons

bad packaging! 

might dry out the dry skin

might not be great in winters

---

What else do I like about the product? Ummm...I pretty much mentioned everything. Yeah, one more thing is this might not be a great product for winters. Otherwise, yes, I would suggest it to every oily, combi and acne-prone skin.

Price: Rs 79 for 50gms

Availability

This facewash is pretty much available in all supermarkets and general stores. I got it from myntra, though. 

PS: Product was bought against a voucher in return for a product review for the website.

Loving / Using It Vol. 1 - Garnier Pure Active pore unclogging wash

 

Loving / Using It : Loving It

Ok, so, let me say this is a new series which I have though just a minute ago! I have been dying to talk about this product but it has not yet been a month since I have started using it so the product review would come in time. 

But, I am totally loving this product. And, it is very rare that I love a product so much that I am just dying to talk about it. Yes, I would recommend it to all of you whole-heartedly! Especially for oily skin and acne prone skin beauties, go and grab it right away :)

What do you think about the series and the product if you have used it?

Are men listening?

Ok, so, Garnier has started a very cool campaign of #SayNoToBars specially for men. Obviously, drinking is bad and adds a lot of years to your man. But, we are talking about soap bars here. So, when I was talking to P about this campaign (who btw uses soap even on my countless behests), he was like yeah, I love that face wash but damn who will use so many products in the bathroom when one does all the work!!

Men will be men like the Imperial Blue ad says. And, my struggle with him continues. In the mean time, enjoy the campaign details by Garnier while I try to talk some sense into him :)

Join Garnier Men India In The Nationwide Movement

Men will be men! No matter what the situation, this statement will always hold true for them.

Take a minute to think this through...
How many men have you seen who pay attention to grooming? Well, we know your answer - barely any, right! That's true for most men. As the brand that cares about men and their grooming, Garnier Men India is out on a mission to change this.

We believe, behind every successful man there is a woman - who helps him with what to wear and what to do. So, what could be a better way to make men change their attitude towards grooming than get the women to lead this initiative with us?

This is why, Garnier Men has partnered with over 30 bloggers who are recognised as experts in beauty and care, in this Nationwide Movement where we ask men to Say No To Bars. Yes, we mean - Say No To ‘Soap’ Bars. Wondering why? Here you go -

1. Soap bars are unhygienic as the same bar is used for multiple purposes. Instead, why not switch to a face wash which is for a defined purpose?

2. Soap bars are history now! Modern men prefer to use face wash that is customised to suit their skin's needs.  So, why not be the man of today who loves modern facilities?

3. Soap bars are inconvenient and not practical to use at all. Then, why not be smart and switch to a face wash which is easy to carry?

Keeping these advantages of face wash in mind, we ask men to take a pledge against the use of soap bars. We instead recommend men to use the Garnier Men Oil Clear Face Wash for a deep cleansing action which removes excess oil without drying your skin while ensuring a day-long oil-free feel.

To make sure, they get the message clearly, here's a fun song which tells you why it's time to #SayNoToBars and #SayYesToOilClear - bit.ly/StupidThingsMenDo

So go ahead, bring a change in the men you care about!
