The two main highlights of the Skin Perfect range of products is that it has dedicated products targeted for different age groups and it is affordable with the small tube for age 20+ costing only Rs 99.

L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfect For Age 30+ : Review, Price, Swatch

I've been using the age 30+ cream for over a month now. The cream is housed in a small pot with a screw top lid. Inside there is a spill proof lid as well. The cream smells amazing. It has a faint floral fragrance - nothing over powering but I love it. The texture is almost mousse like, light and fluffy, non greasy. It is pale peach in color but does not leave any color on the skin. 

Price: Rs 425 (50gm)

Review: Za Perfect Solution Restoring Collagen Cream

Today I'm reviewing the Za Perfect Solution Restoring Collagen Cream from the house of Shiseido. I have previously used the Za True White Night cream and quite liked it. You can read the review HERE.

Review: Za-Shiseido Perfect Solution Restoring Collagen Cream

The Za Perfect Solution Restoring Collagen Cream comes in a tub packaging quite similar to the Za True White Night cream. The packaging this time is a gorgeous deep pink - perfectly in sync with the luxurious night cream theme that the cream portrays.

The cream itself is white in color and has a thick gel like consistency. It goes on watery on application and simply gets soaked up into the skin (even oily areas on my face seem to drink it all up)

10 Products Capable To Slow Skin Aging

Every woman wants to look young at any age. Unfortunately, it is difficult to fight with nature, and with time, our skin becomes drier and the process of aging starts, luckily there are ways to slow down this process. One of them is eating foods containing vitamins and amino acids useful for the skin.

1.   Avocado

The pulp of this fruit is rich in vitamins C and E, which are helping us to struggle with a dull skin color and improves skin elasticity. Also, this fruit contains large amount of mono-saturated fatty acids and Omega -3 fatty acid which improve the state of skin, hair and nails, but also stimulate brain activity, increase testosterone production, reduce blood pressure and acts as antidepressant. Thus, include this fruit in your everyday menu, you will not only forget about the problems you’re your skin, but also improve your health.

2. Green tea

Due to the abundance of antioxidants gathered in this product, green tea helps to cope with acne and improves the state of skin. This is a great alternative to coffee, which adversely affects the state of the skin and leads to premature aging.

Olay Total Effects 7-in-One Anti-ageing + Fairness Cream

If you have been following my blog you would know that sunscreens break me out, moisturizers break me out and it was only a Vitamin C serum that started to work for me. And for sun protection I relied on the SPF provided by BB creams.

Then came this opportunity to try out the Olay Total Effects 7-in-One Cream plus Serum duo. I was apprehensive, my acne had started to clear out and I was scared to try an Olay Total Effects product because my earlier tryst with them was really not pleasant. But after reading about the product I thought I will give it a try and if the first application broke me out that was the end of all Olay trials on my face.

Reluctantly I gave this product a try and what happened thereafter is for you to find! Lets first see what this Olay Total Effects 7-in-One Cream + Serum Duo is all about. It is also called the Anti-ageing + Fairness Cream.

Korres - Quercetin & Oak Antiageing Face Primer

Last month I had to attend a wedding and needed a face primer to make sure my makeup would last for a long time. I did not want to splurge in an online purchase (had no time to visit a counter and check out different primers) so I did some google search and found this primer from Korres - Quercetin & Oak Antiageing Face Primer.

The cheapest price for this primer was around Rs 596 on strawberrynet.com - the price was for a travel sized pack of 10ml. This was perfect for me to try out a new product. Since reviews by fellow bloggers were quite good I took the chance.

Tatha Face Scrub Anti-Ageing - review

We all yearn for a good facial scrub which doesn’t scratch the skin or over dry it but gives a natural glow. In the good old days our granny’s would make face scrubs at home with all natural ingredients. But today in this hectic pace of life we need something ready made to suit our needs.

Tatha has a range of products for the face and body which cater to our needs in terms of being natural. The Tatha anti-ageing face scrub is one such product that I came across recently.

The first thing that catches the attention is its packaging – a deep blue small pot with a shiny silver lid.

Tatha Face Scrub Anti-Ageing

All the ingredients are clearly mentioned on a label at the bottom of the jar. It also says its not safe for use during pregnancy – more details on this at the end of the post.

Tatha Face Scrub Anti-Ageing

When you open the lid (screw lid) you will find a small no-spill white plastic lid that covers the actual product.

Tatha Face Scrub Anti-Ageing

As soon as you lift off the white lid you are engulfed in a fragrance that simply lifts your spirits – it seems like you are surrounded by a garden of roses.

Tatha Face Scrub Anti-Ageing

The pack comes in a granular form – it is composed of oats and almonds with rose essences added to it. A small amount is good to cover the entire face. To apply it you need to take a small quantity in a bowl and add some water to it (I used rose water for added benefits)

Tatha Face Scrub Anti-Ageing

Mixing with rose water forms a paste – not a fine paste but a coarse one but it is good to go on the face.

Now you need to take this paste and apply it all over the face, leave it on for a minute and then scrub it off. Once you start scrubbing you will feel how gentle the granules are and yet they are able to take away all grime off the face. Washing your face will reveal a glowing radiance. The face felt so smooth after use.
This face pack is the kind I would use once a week. It is meant for ageing skin and I personally feel this is more suitable for dry skin ladies.

What I like

• fragrance

What I don't like

• Price

Now coming back to why this scrub is not suitable for use during pregnancy. I called up the guys at the company to find out why on earth would a face scrub be unsuitable for pregnancy – and what I found was that the face scrub contains essential oils.


When I heard this I wanted to know exactly what ingredients in the face scrub made it unsuitable. After some research through google this is what I found out – below is a table with the ingredient name and what it is in layman terms.

Ingredient	Meaning	Safety During Pregnancy
Avena sativa	Oats	safe
Prunus amygdalus var. dulcus	Sweet almond oil	safe
Apis mellifera	Honey venom	not to be taken in medicinal form during pregnancy
prunus amygdalus var	Bitter almond oil	toxic for pregnancy
Citrus uranium	petitgrain – oil from the leaves of an orange tree	relieves mental fatigue but not to be used before the third trimester
Rosa damascena	a variety of rose	safe

This lead me to read more on essential oils and you can find out more on which essential oils are not safe during pregnancy in my post Essential oils and their use during pregnancy

Pond's Age Miracle Anti-Ageing Tinted Moisturiser - a review

I've been using the Pond's Age Miracle Anti-Ageing Tinted Moisturiser on and off - someday I feel like using it and some-days I don't. The basic difference lies in whether I feel like hiding all marks on my face versus I feel like keeping it more natural.
Well some-days I simply like to keep it natural but I cannot step out without a slight coverage. So on such days I fall back on the Pond's Age Miracle Anti-Ageing Tinted Moisturiser.
As the name suggests its a moisturiser, its tinted (only 3 shades available) and it has some anti-ageing properties. So lets get down to the details.

Pond's Age Miracle Anti-Ageing Tinted Moisturiser 

The packaging - its a small screw cap tube - almost the size of regular id-cards - its a white tube with a nice red screw cap. Its small, its cute but I don't like the fact that I have to squeeze it to get the moisturiser out - in the beginning that's fine but after a few uses it becomes difficult to get the moisturiser to come out.

Pond's Age Miracle Anti-Ageing Tinted Moisturiser

I am skipping the picture of the back label because it really doesn't have anything useful. The price and weight etc. but no ingredients. It is available in 3 shades - sheer ivory (light), sheer rose (medium) and sheer honey (the darkest available shade) - I am normally a beige shade person but in this sheer honey is the closest match for my skin.

Pond's Age Miracle Anti-Ageing Tinted Moisturiser

The texture is the best thing about this little package - it is smooth and creamy - I have oily skin and yet this goes on like a dream. It smooths out on the skin to give a light coverage (more than normal tinted moisturisers) - so it does cover minor blemishes and makes the skin appear smoother. It gives a nice dewy finish. In winters I would use this alone on the face as it wouldn't moisturise too much but just enough. In summers I tend to dust some compact powder once during the day make this last longer and make my skin less dewy (towards the middle of the day it tends to cause slight oiliness in the t-zone).

In the picture it looks lighter for my skin but once it is completely applied it vanishes without giving a white mask or chalky appearance.

Pond's Age Miracle Anti-Ageing Tinted Moisturiser

It contains SPF 15 so it is good for giving you the necessary sun protection. Overall its a great product. Has not caused any breakouts and for a daily good bye to ugly skin unevenness its great! As for the anti-ageing - cannot say much - maybe regular usage will prove whether it does anything in that regard.
