My Winter Skin Care Routine with BIOTIQUE

Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing well. Today I am going to share with you my current winter skin care routine with products I am using - all from BIOTIQUE. Since the weather has changed and the atmosphere has become cooler my skin turned dry overnight which otherwise isn't common for me as I do have oily to combination skin. As the season changes it is also necessary to change one's skincare routine and use products which are best suited for the current skin condition. Since my skin turned relatively dry with dry patches around my mouth I was looking for a good moisturizer and other products in totality which form a proper skincare regime for winters.


My Winter Skin Care Routine with BIOTIQUE

The products I have been using and I still am are from BIOTIQUE and I will sharing the product details and my skincare regime steps in this post.Please keep on reading to know more.....

I use these products everyday for best and effective results listed below:
Bio Honey Gel Face Wash
PRICE:  Rs. 119/- for 100ML  and Rs. 179/-  for 150ML

This fresh-foaming, 100% soap-free gel face wash is blended with pure honey and extracts from the bark of the arjun tree, euphorbia plant and wild turmeric. It dissolves makeup and impurities, softens skin and helps lighten the complexion.


Biotique Bio Honey Gel Face Wash

The face wash comes in a squeeze tube with a green flip cap to dispense the right amount of product.However since the consistency of the face wash is liquidy you may end up squeezing more product hence one needs to be careful.The Face wash has a liquid gel like consistency and smells nice and floral which is the typical scent in most of Biotique products.You just need a drop every time as it foams very well. It takes off all dirt from your face and cleanses the pores as well.I felt the face wash is hydrating but can also make your skin a bit dry and hence using a good moisturizer is a must which I am going to tell you about as well.Overall I would say this face wash does a good job and in my opinion is best suited for oily to combination skin throughout the year.

Bio Berberry Hydrating Cleanser
PRICE:  Rs. 175/- for 120ML

This product is a refreshing, non-foaming makeup remover and  is blended with berberry, red sandalwood, fenugreek, lodhra bark and almond oil to dissolve makeup and grime and leaves the  skin feeling soft and smooth.

If you are like me and you apply makeup then this step is a must. The cleanser comes in a plastic bottle with a screw cap lid and has a small opening which dispenses the required amount of product.I use a cotton round or you can use a makeup remover pad and squirt some cleanser onto it. I use it on my eyelids first to take off my eye makeup and it does a decent job. Make sure you do not let it go in your eyes or it may sting like the case with most cleansers.I then use it all over my face and wipe it off with cotton. It effectively removes all my makeup without any irritation and I have not faced any discomfort using it.It has a pleasant smell and does a good job overall in cleansing the face. Now if you are someone who does not use makeup, you can still use it as it cleanses the skin of any dirt,grime and pollution.


Bio Morning Nectar face Lotion
PRICE: Rs.199/- for 120ML 

This is a nourishing and brightening lotion is blended with pure honey, wheatgerm and seaweed. It replaces natural oils and replenishes lost moisture. Softens and brightens skin for a noticeably fairer complexion. Protects skin with SPF 30 UVA / UVB sunscreen.

This face lotion is nothing but a moisturizer which can be used after you use a face wash.It is essential to always moisturize your face whether it is winter or summer. I generally use Aloe vera gel otherwise but now that my skin is dry I needed something which is hydrating and nourishing. I am happy as I found this product and it suits my skin the best. It has a lovely floral scent and absorbs well into the skin keeping it soft and moisturized. I feel this moisturizer is best suited for winter skin.


Bio Winter Cherry Body Nourisher
PRICE: Rs. 180/- for 190ML

This nourishing lotion is a blend of pure winter cherry, sunflower, safflower, musk root and almond oil, to supply moisture and nutrients crucial to body health and vitality. Soothes, softens and revitalizes even weather-roughened body skin, as it promotes elasticity, suppleness and moisture balance.


Biotique Bio Winter Cherry Body Nourisher

The body lotion comes in a plastic bottle packaging with a screw lid and the opening dispenses the right amount of product.It has a unique cherry cum floral combination of scent.The lotion is pink in color and does a great job of moisturizing the body. I use it before I sleep on my hands and especially legs which are dry most part of the year. It does seep well into the skin when massaged and leaves a moisture layer keeping it soft and shiny. The best time to use it is post bath when the body is a bit damp that way it will absorb well into the skin.Overall I love this body nourisher and recommend it to everyone.


BIO ALMOND Therapy Lip Balm
PRICE: Rs.149/- for 5gm stick 
This soothing balm deeply nourishes and fortifies lips. Tone, texture and firmness are unproved overnight.


Biotique BIO ALMOND Therapy Lip Balm


Biotique BIO ALMOND Therapy Lip Balm

I cannot tell you how many lip balms I have used in my lifetime especially after blogging since last 5 years  and there are a handful I can trust and will reach out to. As you may know if you have been reading and following my blogs that I do like clear lip balms any day to tinted ones.I always look for one which is moisturizing and feels smooth on my lips.This lip balm instantly became my favourite it is neither too thick nor thin but perfect on the lips and feels smooth when you rub your lips together which is a sign of a good nourishing & moisturizing lip balm. Almond is the best when it comes to lip moisturization and is a key ingredient in this lip balm. My lips are soft & chap free ever since I started using it and there are no complaints whatsoever. This is one of the best I have tried and a perfect lip balm for winters, do try it right away I highly recommend.

All the Biotique products are exclusively available at www.biotique.com

Now that I have shared about my skincare routine I am sure you may be convinced that these Biotique products are amazing & worth trying for sure. The products are 100% vegan and ayurvedic and hence there is no chance of side/ill effects on the skin. I have used Biotique products in the past as well and they fared well for me.If you are looking for a new winter skincare routine/products to try out for your skin this winter, this is the brand you should opt for and you won't be disappointed also they are budget and pocket friendly.

Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing well. If you are from India you may have definitely heard about the skincare brand ORGANIC HARVEST whose products I have already featured before on the blog you may check those reviews as well. They have a variety of skincare, body care, hair care and lip balms in their collection. In today's skincare scenario everyone looks for cruelty free and products devoid of chemicals and parabens. Well my answer to your problem is Organic Harvest. So I did  get a chance to try out the Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash and I am going to tell you my experience trying it.. Read on to know more....



Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

Price: Rs.215/- for 50 ml and Rs.395/- for 100 ml. Available online with discount  HERE

Key Ingredients:
Aqua, Pure Ribose, Scrubbing beads and Polyquaternium-79 in surfactant base.





Brand description about the product:
A Paraben free formula which cleanses, scrubs, and provides whitening to your skin. The active used in this face wash is pure Ribose, a natural pentose obtained by biotechnology from corn seed sugars. It restores energy to the skin. It has irregular shaped granules, soft enough to prevent the skin from scratches.

The product is free of:
 Parabens
 Mineral Oil 
 Animal Ingredients.

Packaging:
The product comes in a dark green opaque tube with the brand name, claims and all other necessary information printed on it. I love when tubes are transparent though you can tell how much product is left but that is just my opinion. Overall the packaging does not look cheap, it has a flip cap and I did not find any problem of spillage and strangely product accumulating on the cap.


Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

If you know me then you would know that I keep experimenting with face washes which are on the affordable end and this one is a bit more pricey, well obviously because they contain organic ingredients and is free of chemicals but seeing the whole list of ingredients would have made me happier as you know I am a blogger and always curious to know what is in the product I use.


Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

Coming to the face wash it is has a nice sea blue color with green granules and is thick like a paste which I like as I am not a fan of runny face washes. The smell reminds of me of a bathing soap I used in my childhood and makes me feel nostalgic. It contains granules rather than beads which most brands put in their face washes and some studies say they are not great for the skin. So these granules are not harsh on the skin and help in gently exfoliating the skin. It lathers well and does a great job of cleansing all dirt & oil from the skin.I did not notice my skin getting dry post use but using a moisturizer is always recommended. This face wash will be ideal for all those who work at a full time job as being outside makes the skin dull and dirty easily. Also someone who has tanning issues this can help them as well as it brightens the skin after repeated uses. Can't say about whitening but yes it does a great job of cleansing and gentle exfoliation. I highly recommend this to those with oily, greasy and dull skin.

MLWM Rating: 4.5/5

Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash does a great job of cleansing and gently exfoliating the face with the granules it contains. It keeps the skin dirt & oil free and fresh looking. Have you tried this face wash or intend to?? Please let me know in the comments section ☺☺

Until next time.. Take care xoxo

Himalaya Herbals Pure Skin Neem Facial Kit with Massager - Review & Demo

Hello everyone,
I cannot stress enough on the fact how important it is to take care of our skin. If you have been following my blog, since the last 5 years, you would know how much I have stressed on  the importance of good skin. I am a big fan of natural products. It is generally said why use makeup if you have good skin?? I think that is true because if you have clear skin you don't need a lot of makeup to hide your flaws. Skin free of acne is a dream now-a-days.


Himalaya Herbals Pure Skin Neem Facial Kit with Massager - Review & Demo

I was always proud of my skin being acne free until very recently during summer, they started popping on my face. To be honest, summer is the worst month for my skin. I did realize that during this time, my skin needs extra care and pampering. So I made sure I did my best. While I have so many brands and products to try as a blogger, I always go back  to my holy grail trusted brand 'HIMALAYA HERBALS'. If you are from India, there are high chances that you have definitely tried their Purifying Neem Face Wash which is one of their best sellers to solve acne/pimples problems.




  
Himalaya Herbals now has a wide range of products which they have expanded overtime. Recently, they have introduced their facial neem kit called the- Himalaya Herbals Pure Skin Neem Facial Kit. I got to try these amazing products and was very happy with the results. Everyone faces acne problems – from a teenage to adult, everyone! Also, it’s not related to the skin type. So, this kit will definitely be a one stop solution for all skin problems and I will tell you why and how. I will be running you through the 6 steps to achieve clear skin today! Please keep reading to know more.

Himalaya Herbals Pure Skin Neem Facial Kit consists of the following items and I will be mentioning it in the order I use it. The six steps is a do a Do It Yourself (DIY) Facial at Home:

HIMALAYA HERBALS REFRESHING CLEANSING MILK
The cleansing Milk is creamy and smells amazing. This is the first step to take off any dirt, makeup or residue on your face. Use a cotton and clean your face with it.

HIMALAYA HERBALS PURIFYING NEEM FACE WASH
After cleansing is done, the next step is Face Wash which is of a gel consistency and lathers well and hey wait because you get a FREE FACE MASSAGER with this kit as well, Isn't that cool?? So there are 2 things - one is like a brush which is really soft and the other is a massager. You need to use pencil batteries to use it. There is a button to control the speed as well. You need to wet the brush and dip in the face wash and use it all over your face. I would suggest to use it on a low speed to make sure it is gentle on your skin.Wash or wipe your face with a wet soft cloth.

HIMALAYA HERBALS PURIFYING NEEM FACE SCRUB
Using the scrub is the next step and essential when you do a facial at home.The scrub is white in color and has fine exfoliating beads which are very gentle on the skin and yet do a good job of cleaning the dirt from the pores on the face and exfoliating dead skin cells. Use a light hand on the face and massage it for good 3 to 5 minutes using circular motions. Wipe it or wash it off once done. I found that my skin looked brighter and baby soft. Happy ME ☺☺

The last step is to use a moisturizer. This one smells nice and is of a lotion consistency. It is light yet emollient to moisturize your face. If you have extremely oily skin do use like only a dot and spread it across your face or neck or you can skip and use any water based moisturizer like HimalayaOil Free Radiance Gel Cream which I have talked about on my blog before.
