Beauty essentials !

Hey people, how have you been? I just got back from a quick two days visit to Kushtia. It was refreshing, fun filled trip and I met many new people too. I had traveled extensively and been to beautiful places. After coming back from the trip, I am just sleeping, having tons of tea and restoring my skin that got sun burnt, accumulated huge amount of dust and what not. While I was cleaning and moistening my face this morning, I decided to share the things lately I have been using. I have been using these items for the past one year. I can say, finally I have found my products that helps control the oil, blemishes, acne and also helped giving me a healthy fresh skin.
I love buying toiletries and skin products. Discovering new products are my favourite pass time. I am a huge fan of Bodyshop and Lush when it comes to toiletries. Their oil and acne control items have been my savior. As I always try to discover new products, in the past many times it happened that, I chose a wrong one and got messed up totally. I particularly remember this one time few years back, I suddenly bought some skin care products and started using them instantly. After few days, I had a break out of acne and my skin became rough. I looked very unhealthy and as a result I became depressed. It happened many times with me, as I am whimsical; I try new products without giving much thought in it. I just go for things by their name and highlighted features without thinking much. Though I love bodyshop, but their tea tree doesn’t suit me. However I have realized this after spending a lot of money, time reading reviews and sacrificing my skin.
Among them I would say, bodyshop’s seaweed range is one of the best. I have used many items and can say, all the items did, what it promised. Seaweed night treatment, seaweed mask, pore perfector are the things I used. My skin seemed to have liked them all.
I have already in my last makeup post said I am not much of a make up person. I have reason for being so. I hate cleaning my face afterwards. This is one of the most tiresome, gruesome works in the entire world. Whenever I think of cleaning I lose my interest to makeup. However I used to use all sorts of random cleaning creams found in our stores. That also had a major role to play in my bad skin days. But recently for last few months, I use bodyshop’s vitamin E cleanser. It has a nice smell and very gentle on my skin. It cleanse very thoroughly as well. I like.
I use bodyshop’s drops of youth concentrate. I must say, for oily skin like mine, moisturizing is a great deal. Nothing has suited me in the past. But this item was a blast and gave me enough moisture, protected my skin from excess oil and also helped in controlling acne with a glow of youth that I very much need in my mid 30.
Bodyshop’s Chamomile unperfumed eye gel was once again one of my favourite item of all time. However I also use Fabindia’s aloe eye gel for under eyes and fabindia’s eye gel somehow helps me to sleep well. It cools my eye lids and I instantly fall asleep like magic.
