Five ingredients your lip balm must definitely have!

Keep Balm and Carry On

Five ingredients your lip balm must definitely have!

The dry winter air outside and low humidity level indoors can really play havoc with your lips, leading them to develop splits and cracks. While you layer up from head to toe during the nippy winter months, your lips remain exposed to the sun, wind, cold and dry air. It is therefore, essential to carry a good lip balm which ensures long lasting protection and moisturisation.  When it comes to choosing the right lip balm here’s what you must look for:

SPF protection 

 Surprisingly enough, the winter sun does cause skin tanning. Since the UV rays of the sun still penetrate the ozone layer during winter, tanning, skin darkening and dryness prevails as much as it does during summers. If a lip balm doesn’t have sunscreen, then all the moisturizing ingredients won’t protect you from the sun’s harsh rays. 

Tints

At the end of the day, you don’t just want a balm that cares but also one that offers color. Tints are those hints of fun that offer the best of both worlds. Whether it’s peach, strawberry, cherry or vanilla, tints complete the deal of color along with care.

Long lasting

With winter comes dryness and with dryness comes cracked lips.  Having to apply a lip balm multiple times during the day just to watch it fade away after a steaming cup of coffee can be quite disappointing. What you want, is a balm that is long lasting and keeps your lips well hydrated! 

Packaging

Great things come in small packages, and that’s something that applies so much to lip balms. Being able to carry, apply and store your lip balm with ease is definitely important when selecting your lip balm. Whether they come in pots or sticks, application with ease must be factored. 

Moisturisation

Coconut oil, jojoba oil, hemp oil: All of these ingredients don’t just treat your lips temporarily, but they actually allow your lips to absorb the oil and effectively treat dryness beneath the surface.

This winter, get the balm that has Little Tints with lots of care!

Garnier Pure Active Apricot Exfoliating Face Scrub Review

Hello my lovelies,

Hope the new year is treating you well coz it surely has been great for us so far. Ever heard the phrase 'Ask and the universe shall provide?' Well we've been on the lookout for an exfoliating scrub for a while and guess what, we came across Garnier's Pure Active Exfoliating Face Scrub. So read on for our review of the product.

Packaging: 

Starting with the packaging, we received the product in this nice gift box containing the scrub tube and some apricots! Kudos to the team for the innovative packaging. 

The scrub comes in an opaque white tube with a flip top cap, so it's travel-friendly. 

Experience :

The scrub is creamy in texture with apricot granules perfect for scrubbing. It has a delicious fragrance, good enough to make you feel like eating it :) 

After using the Garnier Pure Active Apricot Face Scrub, the skin felt clean, softer in comparison to before usage and more polished. Nor did it dry out the skin like some scrubs tend to, in fact, it felt hydrated, due to the creamy texture so it'll be good for people with dry skin as well. 

Consistent usage is effective in eliminating skin blemishes and improving skin tone courtesy the apricot and lemon extract. 

Unfortunately, the scrub isn't very effective in removing stubborn blackheads but then again it doesn't claim to do so.

Pricing:

Coming to what matters, the pricing, a tube of 50 g is for Rs. 70

Pros:

- Travel-friendly packaging.

- Nice fragrance.

- Exfoliates

- Softer skin

- Easy on the pocket.

Cons:

- Not effective on stubborn blackheads.

Verdict:

Overall, the Garnier Pure Active Apricot Face Scrub is a great daily scrub, it does what it claims and is budget-friendly.
