The right time to take the banana is Noon!

Being rich in antacids and fibers, banana helps in soothing the heartburn and helps to improve the digestive system. Keeps you energetic and helps you work smoothly throughout the day.

The wrong time to take banana is Night!

I have seen many people taking banana at night after their dinner. Well, you need to stop this habit if you don’t want to make your health worse. It leads to mucus formation, increases your cough and cold. Banana at night also causes acidity especially if taken empty stomach.

CURD

The right time to take curd is Day!

The curd is a probiotic food. It helps in gut health. It helps to improve the digestion process. Take it after your day meals, it will soothe your digestive system.

The wrong time to take curd is Night!

It might be the habit of taking curd at night for many people. But this habit is not at all taking you in any right way. The curd also causes cold and cough when taken at night. It may also affect the respiratory tract.

MILK

The right time to drink milk is Night!

Drinking milk is considered very good for the body. But only if you take it at the right time, it can bring all the benefits to you. The milk requires time to get digested. Taking at night allows it to get absorbed in the cell effectively. Relaxes the body. This is all because at night our body stays in rest.

The wrong time to drink milk is Morning!

Well, it may be shocking for many people to know that milk should be avoided in the morning. It may make you feel lethargic. Your stomach may feel full for a long time as the digestion process of milk gets very slow in the morning.

APPLE

The right time to take apple is Morning!

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Truly said! The apple is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and dietary fiber. Helps to reduce the risk of developing cancer, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease. It is full of health benefits. But must be taken in the morning to get all the benefits.

The wrong time to take apple is Evening or Night!

As the apple is high in organic acid, consuming it at night can cause acid reflux. It may increase the acidity level in the body.

RICE

The right time to take rice is Day!

Rice should be taken during the daytime. You can have it in your lunch. Rice provides fast and instant energy to the body. During the day your metabolism is high, so it is the right time to take it. Rice, if many of you are not aware of, slows down the aging process also.

The wrong time to take rice is Night!

At night, our metabolism is low. So, it takes a longer time to get the digest. The rice contains high starch content, can leave your stomach with bloated sensation through out the night. It promotes weight gain when taken at night.

COFFEE

The right time to drink coffee is Noon!

Coffee lovers may be habituated to have their coffee in the morning. Waking up in the morning and rushing to the kitchen to have it, may not be a good idea. It is also not preferred to have it at night too. You should take it during noon time (1:30 to 5 pm). Or have it after 1-2 hours after waking up (preferable, 9:30 to 11:30 am). The cortisol level plummets during these times. And the cup of coffee would work like a charm during those times. Allows the body to naturally energize itself.

The wrong time to drink coffee is Night/Early morning!

Drinking coffee at night time can irritate your digestive system, make you feel restless. It is all because of the caffeine content.

PULSES AND BEANS

The right time to take pulses and beans is Night!

They are rich in dietary fibers. If taken at night, they will improve digestion. Also, lower the cholesterol levels. Help to give you good sleep. Even I was surprised when I read that !!

The wrong time to take pulses and beans is Morning!

Taking them in the morning will increase your appetite and cause you to eat more. This is applicable for all fibrous foods. They should be avoided in the morning.

Take the right food at right time and make yourself healthier and more beautiful.

Garnier White Complete Fairness Cream Speed White (Spf 19 Pa+++) Review

by Devasmita Nath
written by Devasmita Nath

Garnier White Complete Fairness Cream Speed White (Spf 19 Pa+++) Review:  Hello, girls, our hunt for a perfect daily face cream is never over. At least for me, it is so! Also, the face cream which will suit me, may not suit you and vice versa. Meanwhile, I encountered with a face cream that my aunt uses. She told me that she is getting good results from it and also suggested me to try it. It is a Garnier product. And we all know, Garnier is a well-known brand. So I agreed and am using it now, it’s been nearly about 3 weeks. After using about 3 weeks, I am gonna share my views about this Garnier white complete fairness cream speed white.

Garnier White Complete Fairness Cream Speed White (Spf 19 Pa+++) Review 1

Basic Info About Garnier White Complete Cream

It is a whitening cream with decent day protection. It is cream in order to use on a daily basis. All skin type can use. More suitable to normal to oily skin.

PRICE

MRP:- 160, for 40g

Sensitive skin alert?

Yes

Garnier White Complete Fairness Cream Speed White (Spf 19 Pa+++) Review

Natural/Organic/Vegan?

No

How to use:

The product comes in a small tub with a rotating cap. Open the cap, take the required quantity of the cream after washing the face nicely with any face wash. Gently massage into the skin using light circular movements, moving from the center of the face outwards and from the base of the neck to the top. Apply daily in the morning on perfectly cleansed skin.

Garnier White Complete Fairness Cream Speed White (Spf 19 Pa+++) Review 2

My Experience With Garnier White Complete Fairness Cream Speed White

I found the packaging very travel-friendly, though the tub like packaging can compromise hygiene. But it is fine for me. The tub is not that deep so you can actually take out the whole product by your fingers. Coming to the texture of the cream, it is not that thick or you can say it is moderately thick and like most creams, it is also white in color

. The smell is very sweet and pleasant. I apply it on my face daily. The cream blends so well.

It gets absorbed into the skin and it will not leave any white cast. After application of the cream, you will not find the applied area as oily. The skin stays oil free for few hours. The applied area gets smooth and looks matte.

Most of the people with dry skin prefer to use creams which make their skin a bit oily after use. So I am not sure, how well the product will work for people with dry skin.

One thing I understood that you need to apply the cream daily in order to get better results and use it for at least two weeks in order to start getting the result.

It does whiten the skin; you get the natural fairness. I have seen that my pimple marks got lighter than before. But hardly any change in the little dark circles that I have.

About SPF protection, yes it works fine. My skin has not got tanned. But for people leaving near tropical areas, I don’t think it will work that well.

Would I recommend?

Lakme Sun Expert Lotion Review

by Devasmita Nath
written by Devasmita Nath

Lakme Sun Expert Lotion Review: Hello, everyone! We all know how much harmful the sun rays can be to our skin. So it is very much essential to use sunscreens before stepping out of the home. We have lots of options in the market for sunscreen. I have picked up one which I am using for a couple of years. My mom bought me this. I use the Lakme Sun Expert, so today I am going to talk about it. My one is for NORMAL to DRY SKIN. So not recommended for oily skin.

Lakme Sun Expert Normal to Dry Skin Fairness + UV Lotion SPF 30 PA++ Review

Basic Info about Lakme Sun Expert Lotion

What is it for and who is it for?

It very travels friendly, compact, leak-proof. The product is kind of thick and white. Has a very mild and sweet fragrance. Provides enough moisturization to the skin. The product comes in a different variant. I am writing for the Normal to Dry skin, SPF30.

PRICE

Comes in two sizes.

50 ml- MRP 225, can get at a lesser price from local and online stores.

100 ml- MRP 400, can get at a lesser price from local and online stores

Sensitive skin alert?

No

Natural/Organic/Vegan?

No

How to use:

It is a bright yellow tube, the cap closes tightly and is a flip open type. I have the smaller size with me. Usage is simple. Just have to press the tube gently to get the product out and put on the palm and apply over face, neck and on hands. It needs to be applied 20 minutes before sun exposure. Before applying any makeup give it some minutes to be absorbed.

My Experience with Lakme Sun Expert Lotion

The pleasant smell wears off after some time. It needs to be massaged well to avoid the whitish appearance and get it transparent on the skin. It provides the matte look and good moisturization. However, it will not provide any fairness as claimed by it. And if you have a combination skin you may get an accumulation of sebum after some hour of application or go under the sun. So it goes more for dry skin people. I apply face powder after applying this sunscreen, which I feel gives better results.

Lakme Sun Expert Normal to Dry Skin Fairness + UV Lotion SPF 30 PA++ Review 3

Overall Performance of Lakme Sun Expert Lotion

Pros
  1. Has SPF 30 (gives UVB, UVA protection)
  2. Moisturizes the skin.
  3. Well suited for normal to dry skin.
  4. Travel-friendly.
  5. Pleasant fragrance.
  6. Contains cucumber and lemon grass extract
  7. Contains Vitamin B3.
  8. Can be applied on hands as well.
Cons
  1. The claim for fairness is not true.
  2. Has the presence of chemicals.
  3. Not completely water proof.
  4. Don’t lock sweat.
  5. Better suited for only dry skin people.
Would I recommend?

Of course for people with dry skin is a good product to use. Stays good especially at indoors. I personally like it as it evens out the skin tone. However, for other skins, I wouldn’t recommend that much as it is not sweat proof.

People with oily skin can go with the other variant that’s for oily skin.

L’oreal Hydrafresh Toner Review

by Devasmita Nath
written by Devasmita Nath

L’oreal Hydrafresh Toner   :Hello friends, am back with my next review. Today I am going to review L’OREAL Hydra Fresh Anti-Shine Purifying and Refining Toner.Toner enhances the skin’s surface, giving skin what it needs to look better and fresher. So, a toner is an essential part of your beauty wardrobe. L’oreal is a well-known brand, let’s see how the performance of this toner by L’oreal is. Keep on reading folks.

L’oreal Hydra Fresh Anti-Shine Purifying and Refining Toner

What is it for and who is it for?

This toner helps to control oil. Provides hydration. The product is made for oily skin.

PRICE

MRP:-  420, for 200 ml.

How to use:

It has a sturdy plastic bottle. It has a minty green translucent body and a white cap. Open the cap and pour the needed quantity on a cotton pad and swipe through the face. Apply daily after cleansing.

My Experience with L’oreal Hydrafresh Toner

The packaging is good, sturdy. But the size is more. You cannot carry it everywhere due to the bigger size. The toner has a typical smell of hydra fresh range products. The smell is good, refreshing. The texture of the toner is water like. It has a transparent color. I applied it after cleansing the face every day. It brings a refreshing feel after application. As claimed by the brand, about the prevention of oiliness and shine, I would say, it performed as claimed but not fully. It could prevent the oiliness for a while, but not for a long time. I felt that people with extremely oily skin should not use this. It is a fine product, but not that good as claimed. For people with combination skin, looking for a regular toner, it can be an option. A good thing about the product is, it has no parabens.

L’oreal Hydra Fresh Anti-Shine Purifying and Refining Toner 4

Pros
  1. Good packaging.
  2. Pocket-friendly.
  3. Good fragrance.
  4. Easily available.
  5. Good quantity of the product you will get.
  6. No parabens.
  7. Instant freshness.
  8. Tries to control oil.
  9. Will recommend to people with combination skin
Cons
  1. Not recommended for people with extremely oily skin.
  2. Claims about the prevention of shine and oil are not totally true.
  3. Less effective than expected.
Would I recommend?

Well, I will not recommend it if you have oily skin. Though it claims to be made for oily skin, it hardly works for people with super oily skin. I am disappointed with it. I expected more from this.

If you have a combination skin and looking for a fine, affordable, everyday toner, then you can give a try. And, yes, I am not going to repurchase it!

All You Need To Know About Oxygen Facial

by Devasmita Nath
written by Devasmita Nath

Oxygen Facial: Hello, beauties! Hope all are doing fine. This is the month of Diwali and all must be very busy with shopping. And of course visiting the parlor and salon for getting a new look  🙂  So, this Diwali let’s try something new and better. Let’s have good oxygen facial this Diwali! Many of you may be knowing about this and may have also opted for it. So how is your experience? Would love to know. But those who are totally unaware of it or know very little about it please keep on reading to know about this amazing oxygen facial!

Why Oxygen Facial?

Our face is very delicate and we need to take proper care of it. We may use various products to make our face skin better. But wait… Are they all really working? Are your regular facials really able to feed the skin the needed food? Our skin pores are very tiny. The required ingredients contained in many makeup products need to penetrate directly into the skin. They penetrate in the form of molecules. But unfortunately, the large molecular size restricts the penetration and get stuck only on the uppermost layer of the skin. Thus we may not get the better growing and healthy skin that we wish for. Sometimes the large molecules like Hyaluronic acid and collagen (found in many cosmetic products) do not pass through the skin and result in clogged pores.

So what to do? What is the solution? Yes, here comes the role of our Oxygen Facial! The oxygen facial helps to feed the skin with all the required food. I mean, the vital vitamins and other ingredients which are required to maintain healthy and glowing skin. The facial helps your skin to breathe, provides hydration to skin. After you take your oxygen facial, you will see your clean glowing skin. Your creams will start working better.

All You Need To Know About Oxygen Facial

How to take it?

You can visit a good fully equipped beauty salon and parlors. It is hardly a 60-minute process. For better result, try to have at least twice every month. A little bit costly you may feel, but no worries, you are going to get a great result!

What is the process?
  1. Firstly the skin will be exfoliated to remove all the dirt and excess oil from the skin. Followed by mild facial steam which helps to open up the pores.
  2. Airbrush (a small pen-like device) is used to introduce steam of pressurized oxygen directly into the epidermis layer (to the skin pores).
  3. The basic oxygen facial will produce oxygen to the skin. In case, if you want you can also add on and get the vitamin, anti-aging ingredients, etc with oxygen on your face. The oxygen is infused with all these vitamins and supplements.
  4. It is not a painful process. The infusing feels like a blast of cold air on the skin, with mild pressure.
  5. You will get a face and neck massage then, to ensure that the infused oxygen go deeper into the skin.
  6. Then comes the Hyaluronic layering. This is the process of toning and moisturizing the skin, using serum or creams. At last, they usually apply sunscreen. And yup! Your Oxygen Facial is done  🙂
The Benefits!
  1. Restores your old sheen and radiance. Get back your lost blush on your skin.
  2. Say bye-bye to Acne.
  3. Moisturize the skin really well.
  4. No more blemishes.
  5. Help to remove dullness from the skin.
  6. Well-Toned skin.
  7. Get the beauty of Youthfulness with its amazing oxy therapy.
  8. Instantaneous glow.
  9. No irritation syndrome, other such side-effects found yet.

For people having sensitive skin, I would recommend you to consult a doctor first before having this facial. Yes, every good thing has some side effects too. Oxygen facial is costly. And it is said that the effect of oxygen facial lasts hardly from 7-10 days. Also, I won’t suggest you have too many treatments, as the treatment release free radicals into the skin, which means that over-doing it may cause premature aging. The FDA has yet to approve oxygen facials and there is no licensing that is required for its use. It is recommended that you find a skilled and experienced practitioner to have your oxygen facial.

So girls, hope you liked to know about the oxygen facial. Let us know your thoughts about it and also share your experience! Signing off today with all love. Stay healthy and beautiful  🙂

by Devasmita Nath
written by Devasmita Nath

Nature’s Essence Neem and Aloe Vera Facewash: Hii girls, today’s review is on Nature’s Essence Purifying Neem & Aloe Vera Facewash. It is very important to cleanse the face on a regular basis. A face wash is must and should be used on a daily basis. We all know Neem and Aloe Vera are great for our skin. The healing property of nature combined with the anti-microbial properties of neem gives you double benefits. You get radiant skin! The two names mentioned in today’s product grabbed my attention towards this face wash. So let’s find out how the face wash really is.

Nature’s Essence Purifying Neem & Aloe Vera Facewash

PRICE

MRP: 60, for 65ml (50ml +15ml free

How to use:

Moisten the face first and then open the tube and get the required quantity on the palm. Apply it on the face and gently work up a lather with a circular motion. Wash off and pat dry. Use twice a day and follow it up with Nature’s Sun Ban Lotion. Use Nature’s Lacto Tan Clear for suntan free flowing skin and deep pore cleansing.

My Experience with Nature’s Essence Neem and Aloe Vera Facewash

Packaging:–  The face wash comes in a tube. It has a green flip open kind of cap. The cap closes quite firmly. The body of the tube is of transparent green color. It is travel-friendly. You can find at the top, it is written 30% Extra.

Consistency and color:–   It has a thick consistency. The face wash has a transparent light green color. That looks refreshing and close to nature! It lathers well enough to cleanse your skin. You cannot expect much lather from it as it has soap-free formulation.

Fragrance:–  I didn’t find the fragrance so much pleasing. Though for many people it is. The smell of neem, aloe vera, turmeric mixture. Yup the smell is total herbal.

The face wash hydrates the skin really well. And feels refreshing. Pimples have reduced, but not much. It is a mild product, so people with sensitive skin can use it. It makes the skin smooth. Use in regular basis for a good result.

For better result, cover it up with a compact powder during the summer to avoid sweating.

My Experience with What is it for and who is it for? Loreal UV Perfect

The banana contains antioxidants, which fight with free radicals of the body, stabilizing them. This helps is preventing them from damaging the skin cells and cause cancer. At present, the count of a cancer patient is increasing, so we should be more cautious and eat healthy in order to decrease the risk of cancer. After all, prevention is better than cure.

  1. Cure Anemia

Anemia is the condition in which the blood lags the number of red blood cells. It occurs when the iron level in the body decreases. Especially women, due to their heavy menstrual period each month, iron deficiency may occur very easily. A banana is rich in iron content. Regular intake of banana helps to control the hemoglobin level and prevent anemia.

  1. Cures Constipation

The banana helps to cure constipation. If taken on a daily basis, it improves the function of the bowel system. It consists of dietary fiber that helps in maintaining the bowel system. No need of running to the doctor, start having a banana.

The presence of potassium and moisture helps to hydrate the dry skin. Smash up a ripe banana and apply it on the face. Leave it for a few minutes until it gets dry. Wash it off with lukewarm water. You can find your face moisturizing and soft. The Vitamin A present in banana helps to repair the damaged, dull skin.

  1. Protects from UV

The harmful UV rays damage our skin. Smash up a banana and apply it on the damaged area and massage for a while and leave it to get dry. Rinse off with normal water. Applying it on a regular basis helps in regaining the beautiful skin back again. The Vitamin E in banana protects skin from UV damage.

  1. Prevents Pimples

Lectin present in banana helps to destroy bacteria that cause acne and pimples. In fact, the peel of the banana can also help to get rid of acne. The inner portion of the peel should be applied to the face.  The enzymes in the banana peel cure acne and also help to remove dark blemishes.

  1. Whitening teeth

We often rush to dentists, when we get yellow teeth. Instead of going to the dentist we can solve the problem ourselves by using a banana. Just get inner portion of the peel of a banana. Rub it on the frontal teeth back and forth with your finger. Leave it for 5 minutes or more, and then rinse it off. You can see the change, your teeth will look brighter. In order to get a better result, repeat the process more times.

VLCC Gold Facial Kit Review 5

I use the product two days before any occasion. The result is really good. The scrub exfoliates well. Removes the dead skin mildly. The gold gel hydrates the skin really well. The gold cream adds a glow in the face. Overall the cute facial kit provides the ultimate solution to get a healthy glow for 10-15 days. I like the fact that I don’t need to rush to any beauty salon to get a facial. After the completion of the facial, my skin becomes smooth and shines, one can easily find out that I have done gold facial. There is no bad smell from this facial. The smell is quite pleasant. I can use the single kit for two times, though it is written for single time usage. I really liked the packaging. It very travels friendly and cute.

Lakme Absolute Sculpt Studio Hi-Definition Matte Rose Bloom Lipstick 

PRICE

MRP:- 750, for 3.7 g (you will find in lower price in online stores)

How to use:

Pull out the cap and twist it to get the stick out. Start applying from the center of your upper lip. Work from the center towards the outer edges of the lip, following the contours of the mouth. Glide across the entire lip. (As this is a matte lipstick, I will suggest that you exfoliate your lips well before application).

My Experience with Lakme Absolute Rose Bloom Sculpt Studio Hi-Definition Matte Lipstick

Packaging:-

The packaging looks pretty to me. The lipstick case a transparent glossy body. The cap is also transparent. You need to twist the bottom just like other most of the lipsticks to get the stick out.

Texture:-

The lipstick has a soft texture. It is creamy and easy to apply. It glides easily on the lips.

Color:-

The shade is a pretty one, and I love these kinds of shades. This very lipstick has the shade, you can say, orangey-coral. These kinds of shades go very well with Indian skin tones.

It does have the matte finish. After few minutes of application, you will get that matte finish. One thing I liked about it, despite being a matte lipstick, it is not over drying on the lips (tested without any lip balm).

Pigmentation:-

The pigmentation is really good. You can have just one swipe to get the beautiful shade on your lips. 2-3 swipes you can have to make it darker.

Staying power:-

The staying power is good. It stays for a couple of hours. You may need a little touch up after few hours. It is transferable. It may get faded away after your meal (Varies from lips to lips).

Before applying the lipstick I apply little lip balm underneath after exfoliation to make my lips softer and remove any dryness.
