Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Conditioner Review

 

How does coloring your hair damage your hair?

Hair colors consist of ammonia which causes a lot of damage to your hair. The ammonia lifts the cuticle, altering the hair in a way that will never completely revert back to its natural virgin state. Hair that grows from the scalp will grow out normally with only the hair that has been dyed being affected. If not maintained properly, the dyed parts of your hair will become very frizzy, dry, and lifeless.

Does that mean you shouldn’t color your hair?

No, the color does cause damage to your hair but it can be prevented by using some good products and taking care of the colored parts of your hair. Stick to a routine that suits your hair the best. Which is using the right shampoo, conditioner, hair mask or hair oil specifically made for color-treated hair because using normal products is going to cause loss of color.

So here we go  :

Matrix Biolage Color Last Shampoo & Conditioner:

  1. This product is inspired by nature’s fade-defying orchids.
  2. This conditioner claims to provide deep conditioning to the hair; leaving it soft, supple, and lustrous and adding shine.
  3. It helps in lasting your hair color for a longer time.
  4. It is not suitable for extremely dry and frizzy hair. It is a good product for normal to a little oily hair.
  5. This conditioner is paraben free but does contain sulfates.
  6. The product retails for ₹315 for 98ml.

Matrix Biolage ColorLast Orchid Conditioner Review

L’Oreal Paris Colour Protect Conditioner

  2. The product claims to protect the hair color from UV filter, nourishes hair fiber and makes hair smooth and silky.
  3. It is not the best one out of all the other options available in the market but if you have a tight budget, you can go for this particular product.
  4. The product retails for ₹85 for 71.5ml of product.

It provides UV filter protection which helps in retaining shine, and vibrancy and repairs stressed hair. The Keratin deeply repairs stressed hair structures that can be damaged in the coloring process.
  2. The color lasts for up to 12 weeks with the usage of this conditioner.
  3. It is best suited for dry and dull hair to normal hair types. It is not the best conditioner for extremely dry hair.

The product retails for ₹295 for 88.7ml.

Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Conditioner Review

Tips For Doing Nail Art At Home

Hi Girls! Today I am sharing some very simple but important Tips For Doing Nail Art At Home. Here they are –

Tips For Doing Nail Art At Home

  • Using ear-buds for designs:

Nail art tools can get very expensive. A very cheap alternative for round tipped tool would be ear-buds. They can be used to make flowers, polka dots, etc.

  • Using ear-buds to remove nail polish from your skin:

Using nail polish remover wipes or cotton can get really risky because you can sometimes accidentally wipe off the nail polish on your skin because of the wide surface area. To prevent this, dip an ear-bud in your nail polish remover and swipe it on the areas of your skin where you applied the nail polish.

  • Using tape for painting straight lines:

You can use a tape to cover a part of your nail and paint the rest. You can as well leave a gap in between and paint that part to get straight lines lines, you can keep covered half part of your nail and color the rest making a two colored nail; the same way, you can do that with 3 colors, you can do French nails with it as well and a lot other things.

  • Using tape to cover your skin:

We often do nail arts which get on the skin and there is no way we can prevent doing that. For which, we require something that can cover the skin. Applying tape on the skin area around the nail will prevent the nail polish from getting on your nails. You can even use Fevicol instead of tape.

  • Using a hair dryer to dry your nails faster:

It can get really annoying to wait for your nail polish to dry and not being able to do any work. You can use a hair dryer to dry out your nail polish faster.

  • Using a tea bag to heal your broken nails:

Cut out a small part of the tea bag sheet and place it on the chipped part of your nail. Apply a base coat or any nail polish on top of it. This will keep the tea bag secured and will protect the nail as well.

  • How to make an inexpensive nail polish stay on your nails for long:

One disadvantage of buying inexpensive nail polishes is that they don’t stay on the nails for long. Buying expensive nail polishes won’t be very pocket-friendly. You can collect a bunch of inexpensive nail polishes and top it with an expensive top coat. This way, the nail polish will stay for long and it won’t cost you a lot of money.

  • Sketch pen art:

If you don’t have any nail art tools, you can make use of permanent markers or sketch pen to draw the designs that you want on your nail. Top your art with a top coat to keep it secure.

  • Toothpick art:

Tooth picks are also a very good alternative for nail art tools.

  • How to reuse a thickened up nail polish:

Add nail polish remover into the nail polish and shake it well for a few seconds. The thickened nail polish will become liquidy and ready to be used.

Menstrual Cups , Sanitary Pads or Tampons - Which one is the Best Choice?

Menstrual Cups, Sanitary Pads or Tampons – Which one is the Best Choice?  : We have a lot of options available in the market for usage during our periods, them being plastic sanitary napkins, cotton sanitary napkins, tampons, and menstrual cups. Everyone has different priorities and requirements from certain products. Hence, I can’t tell you what is best for you. Which is why I have compared all of the products down below, go through the points and choose what you think is best for you.

Chemicals:

  1. Cotton sanitary napkins: only 3 brands in India produce cotton sanitary napkins and none of them make use of any chemicals.
  2. Plastic Sanitary napkins: they do contain chemicals that can cause rashes and dangerous problems to your uterus.
  3. Tampons: tampons contain chemicals that are supposed to absorb the blood in your uterus. While doing so, they absorb the moisture present in the walls drying your uterus. This can also lead to a lot of dangerous problems.
  4. Menstrual cups: they do not consist of any sort of chemicals.

Eco-friendly:

  1. Cotton sanitary napkins: cotton is a biodegradable material. Hence, the pads that you use and throw away get decomposed into the soil making it a very eco-friendly product.
  2. Plastic sanitary napkins: we all know that plastic takes 1000s of years to decompose. On average, a single woman makes use of 8000 pads in her lifetime. All of these 8000 pads are going to take 1000 years to decompose into the soil. Until then they’re just going to lie around producing toxic fumes.
  3. Tampons: as long as you are using 100% cotton tampons, they’re not entirely bio-degradable either.
  4. Menstrual cups: they last you for up to 10 years, so there is no need for throwing it away.

Odor:

  1. Sanitary napkins: napkins are exposed to air causing them to react. Hence, it does produce odor.
  2. Tampons: it does smell when you remove your tampon to dispose of it as it reacts with the air and the chemicals present in it.
  3. Menstrual cups: they don’t produce any odor as there are no chemicals present in the cup.

Price:

  1. Sanitary napkins: If you look at it on a short-term basis, they’re the cheapest products available. If you look at it on a long-term basis, they can get very expensive. If on average one pad costs you ₹10 then it will cost you ₹80,000 for your entire lifetime.
  2. Tampons: Tampons as well cost more on a long-term basis.
  3. Menstrual cups: Cups are a one-time investment. They cost you ₹250-500 for about 10 years. They are the cheapest option available in the market in the long term.

Comfort:

  1. Sanitary napkins: You can always feel them when you move. They are not at all comfortable. They can even cause rashes.
  2. Tampons: Once you insert it, you don’t feel the presence of it.
  3. Menstrual cups: Same with cups, you don’t feel the presence of it once inserted properly.

Availability:

  1. Cotton sanitary napkins: they are available only online.
  2. Plastic sanitary napkins: They are available at any chemist or drug store.
  3. Tampons: Maybe, not all stores sell tampons, but they are available at supermarkets and online.
  4. Menstrual cups: they are available only online and in very few supermarkets, which is very rare.

Hygiene:

  1. Sanitary napkins: They are very messy as the blood can stick to your butt area. That can react with the air and can produce odor and stickiness. This is not hygienic at all.
  2. Tampons: As the tampons stay inside, there are no hygienic problems you would face with this product.
  3. Menstrual cup: The same way, it stays inside, so it doesn’t leak or get messy.

Comfort:

  1. Sanitary napkins: You will always feel the presence of a napkin. So they are not very comfortable while playing or if you are going on an adventure trip.
  2. Tampons: You won’t feel the presence of it until it gets full and heavy and it is time to throw it, you might feel a little heaviness but it is not unbearable.
  3. Menstrual cups: You don’t feel any discomfort for about 10-12 hours after which you will have to remove it, it might pain very little.

Spotting:

  1. Sanitary napkins: They get saturated very quickly after which they will start flowing through your panties. Spotting is more often in this method if you don’t change very frequently.
  2. Tampons: They as well will show some spots once they’re saturated but it can be prevented by using a panty liner.
  3. Menstrual cups: Leaking through a cup is very rare. They hold up the most amount of flow out of all the options and they usually don’t leak unless places wrong or not using the correct size.

How to prevent period infections and rashes?

Use unscented products: Some products consist of some scents to prevent odor but as they are chemicals they can lead to rashes or infections.

Wear loose cotton underwear: There will be no friction between the product, skin, and your underwear. Hence, no rashes.

Change the brand: It probably is just because the brand is not working out for you.

Pro tip:

The environmental crisis has been increasing rapidly. The smallest thing we can do is to use organic products. Usage of cotton sanitary napkins, 100% cotton tampons, and menstrual cups are very eco-friendly. They are not widely available in stores nearby but they are available online. Please do stop using plastic products and switch to organic products. This small change can help the earth a lot.

Which are the Best Derma Rollers in India 2019 ?

Which are the Best Derma Rollers in India 2023? : Derma rollers are known to heal scars and fix pigmentation on any part of your body. Let me talk to you about how derma rollers really work. Once your pimple heals and is no longer on your skin, it may leave some scars. Initially, the skin produces some collagen to cover your scars slightly.

Now, what is collagen?

When your body is hurt, collagen is produced in order to heal the scars. It helps in making the scars less visible. Once the external wound is healed, the body stops producing collagen for healing, which is when the scar becomes permanent.

So in order to produce the collagen again, derma rollers cause some minor (not dangerous) injuries, which send a signal to your skin to produce more collagen. This way, your scars that had stopped healing will start healing. This will lead to the disappearance of them.

How often must a derma roller be used?

Derma rollers come in a few sizes. All of the sizes have different needles. The thicker needles must be used very rarely and the thinner ones can be used on a daily basis. I have listed down how often each of them must be used down below:

  1. 0.25 mm long needles can be used daily on the same skin area.
  2. 0.5 mm long needles can be used once a week on the same skin area.
  3. 0.75mm long needle can be used once every two weeks on the same skin area.
  4. 1 mm can be used every four weeks on the same skin area.
  5. 1.5mm or 2.0 mm can only be used once every five weeks on the same skin area.

Here is a list of which needle must be used for which problem:

Derma rollers are also used to cure pigmentation, wrinkles, deep penetration of serums, curing stretch marks and makes your skin look healthier. They don’t hurt unless you have very sensitive skin which is why I wouldn’t recommend this product for people who have extremely sensitive skin.

 Some of the best derma rollers available in the Indian market are:

  • ZGTS 540 Needle Derma Roller

It claims to be one of the strongest rollers available in the market. They come in a plastic tube packaging in which you can store the roller. It holds 192 needles in it. The needles aren’t very sharp and they don’t work for very deep wrinkles.

This product retails for ₹1100 but Nykaa always has offers going on so you can buy them for ₹660.

Which are the Best Derma Rollers in India 2019 ?

  • MNS 540 Needle Derma Roller

The roller is sealed and is included in a plastic container box for safe and hygienic storing of between needling sessions. It is not of amazing quality but does quite do the job of what is a must. The brand asks you to not use any skin products until 6-8 weeks after using this product. This product retails for ₹1300 but after the offer, you can buy it for ₹730. I would say that it is quite expensive for what they provide but as long as it does the job, it wouldn’t matter.

Which are the Best Derma Rollers in India 2019 ?

  • Bronson Professional Derma Roller Bronson Professional Titanium Needles

This is the cheapest derma roller available in the market. There are a lot other brands on Amazon which provide very inexpensive derma rollers but I wouldn’t recommend them to you. This is one of the best and strongest in the budget range. It consists of 192 needles. These needles are really tough and durable, so they suit well for needling large and small areas. The product retails for ₹250.

My experience with Biotique Gold Radiance Facial Kit

Packaging:

The products are kept in a golden cardboard box which consists of a facial scrub, massage gel, peel off mask, dark spot corrector and moisturizing cream. The products come in a plastic tub. The kit comes with an instruction manual describing each step of the facial. The step description is written on the tub as well. All of the details about the product (expiry date, price, etc.) are written on the outer part of the cardboard box.

Colour, texture, fragrance, and performance:

Step 1: Gold Radiance Face Scrub

The scrub is orange in color and consists of small granules which exfoliate and deeply cleanse your skin. It removes the dead skin layer present on your skin. Scrub your face and neck with the product for 3-4 minutes and leave it for 5 minutes, wipe it with a wet cloth/rinse it with water and pat dry with a dry towel and proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Gold Radiance Massage Gel

The product is orange in color and has a gel-like consistency. It nourishes your skin. Massage this gel into your face and neck for 3-4 minutes and leave it for 5 minutes, wipe it with a wet cloth/rinse it with water and pat dry with a dry towel and proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Gold Radiance Peel Off Mask

The product is orange in color and has a sticky gel-like consistency. It helps in maintaining the pH balance of your skin. Apply a thick layer of this mask and leave it until it dries out completely. Once the mask is dry, you should peel the mask downwards (Top to bottom) and proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Clinical Dark Spot Corrector

This cream is white in color and is used for depigmentation and for dark spot correction. Apply the product on damaged areas and proceed to the next step.

Step 5: Gold Radiance Face Cream

The cream is white in color and has a very therapeutic smell. Apply the cream all over your face and neck and massage it on for 3-4 minutes. This cream adds moisture to your skin.

Experience:

The product does what it claims. It exfoliates, moisturizes, brightens and gives radiance to your skin. You can make 4-5 uses out of the kit. You cannot use this product right before an event because the cream makes your skin oily, but you sure can use it a day before the event. It is a 45 minutes process.

Overall Performance of Biotique Gold Radiance Facial Kit

Pros:
  1. The kit is very inexpensive.
  2. The kit claims 2 uses but you can make 4-5 uses out of it.
  3. It doesn’t cause any breakout.
  4. The product sizes are small. Hence, they’re very travel friendly.

  6. The products are of good quality.
  7. The products come in a tub. Hence, it is easy to store.
  8. You can do it yourself at home, whenever you want. There is no need of travel.
Cons:
  1. The peel-off mask can get messy during application.
  2. The face cream and dark spot corrector makes your skin oily. Hence, it cannot be used before going out.
  3. The kit does not consist of a face wash.
  4. The usage of the product can get unhygienic.
  5. Effects don’t stay for long.

Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes, the product is very inexpensive and provides a lot of usages. You would pay triple the amount of money for a facial at a salon but this kit provides a lot of sessions for the price we pay. The product does what it claims and the price of the product isn’t an excuse for the quality of it. The products are of very good quality and they do not cause any irritation or breakout of any sort. Keeping the price in mind, the product sure does claim a lot of things but satisfies them.
