Directions to use



My views about the product
I am using this since 2 years and I love this…Great value for money as well as it is very mild and gentle on skin…It won’t irritate skin and it is effective to gently scrub your face…I don’t have any black heads…So I don’t know how effective this is in removing the black heads 🙂
I use this daily after brushing and then I follow my CTM routine..
So far It’s good for my skin…Quite gentle on skin and can be used everyday..
If you are looking for a cheap everyday scrub, you can go for this…One tube will last longer…I just need a tiny bit to cover my entire wet face, I use this on my nose, chin and the t zone, areas where I need oil contol…and its effective in removing that oilness from face, It can be purchased easily from department stores or online

My views about Jovees foot scrub
I apply it daily before going to sleep on my clean feet and gently massage a few minutes till the cream completely gets absorbed by the skin…
It has a floral fragrance and it has tiny coloured beads in it…It don’t melt and I will put a bed socks and sleep…In the morning I will wash my feet…
Note: If you are leaving the cream on and just go to sleep..There’s a chance of bed stain which will trouble you…Better use a bed socks or wipe off the cream after massaging…I had shoe bite marks and this wonder cream faded it out…:)I am happy with the results…
I really recommend this cream which is cheaper too… 🙂

Packaging and Price

Qty: 60 gm


My views about the product



It comes in a flip open tube which makes it easier to dispense the product.
It has a fruity fragrance, and its a peach coloured scrub. It has mild brownish granules and it has a creamy texture, As the content is apricot, its very hard on skin, Can’t be used for everyday use like clean and clear..Once In a while you can use and exfoliate your dead cells using this…The fragrance of the product is very refreshing
The bad thing is that it contains parabens…
But it does a good job in exfoliating 🙂 which I like…
haven’t caused any break outs to my skin…
But there are plenty of other scrubs too which you can try out from other brands..I won’t repurchase this…


Now, the next product

Packaging and Price

Qty:100 gms


My views about the product
Even though it comes with high expectations, it delivers the job of a normal exfoliator…neither too good or bad..An average skin polisher…can’t be used everyday..As you can see from the swatches above, It has an orangy shade with rich orange smell(cosmetic one, not so natural…I feel it is so strong sometimes)…It won’t help to lighten or whiten the skin as it claims…ehhehe:D….After scrubbing and washing I felt an immediate radiance which lasted for a while..skin feels supple and refreshed…It won’t dry out the facial area…I won’t repurchase this…
Maybe I will try some other brands

My views about the Vitamin C Microdermabrasion
I bought this as part of my body shop haul and I love it…
Let me share individual snaps of it



When I first heard the word microdermabrasion, I thought it would be harsh on my skin, But still I gave it a try, To my surprise, this creamy exfoliator has become my favourite in a short time..I am a huge fan of body shop products and every now and then, I used to shop something or the other from body shop…This cream is densely packed with minure granules…But while exfoliating you will feel it gentle on your skin, I have a combination  skin and it works great on me…You have to be very gentle while scrubbing….Also…It has a fresh orange juice smell natural…which I luv…I always make sure to apply a moisturiser as soon as I finish scrubbing and cleaning my face..
it has improved my skin texture a lot…Really I recommend this to all combination skin beauties…It really works..It can be used once every week…
You can purchase it from here
