What is PCOS and PCOD ?

by Jagriti Verma June 25, 2019

written by Jagriti Verma

We are women of the 21st century and we live in a competitive world where there is a constant and never-ending fight to be the best in their respective fields. The passion to be the best often takes a toll on our health. We often compromise on our eating habits. But, we do not realize the fact our body is just like a machine; if we do not maintain it will wear out and succumb to deadly diseases. A lot of diseases in today’s world are psychological and stress-related because there is no time left to take care of you in this busy life. One of the diseases cause by drastic lifestyle changes and bad eating habits in women is PCOS.

What is PCOS?

PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. If I explain PCOS in a layman’s language, I would describe it as a disease caused by an imbalance of sex hormones in women. It can create problems with your menstrual cycle and cause hindrance in conceiving a child. It can cause abnormal changes in your appearance. It can lead to serious health problems like diabetes and heart problems. In PCOS, women develop small cysts on their ovaries. These cysts are in itself are not a problem but they are responsible for hormonal imbalance. Early diagnosis and treatment can save you from lot of further complications.

What happens in PCOS + PCOS Diet

Normally, ovaries release a very small amount of male sex hormones and these cysts are responsible for the abnormal release of these male sex hormones. The imbalance of sex hormones stops ovulation, the growth of extra facial hair, and obesity. PCOS are responsible for irregular periods. The body is unable to make correct use or no use of insulin which cause the blood sugar levels to rise up. This eventually increases the chances of diabetes among women. Diabetic women face a lot of problems while conceiving a child and there are higher chances of miscarriage among such women.

Image Credit: style craze

Causes of PCOS:

Genetics: Yes, you heard it right. Genes can be responsible for inheriting PCOS. If your mother or sister is suffering from this condition, there are chances of you inheriting it. Though there is little evidence of genes associated with this condition. Genetics is something you acquire from your ancestor and nothing much can be done to avoid it if it’s in your genes.
Hormonal imbalance: The abnormal release of hormones can be linked with this condition because the PCOS has direct linkage with hormones. The abnormal release of hormones is responsible for the medical conditions related to PCOS. Hormonal balance has a direct connection to what we consume. So, we should include more fruits and leafy vegetables in our diet rather munching on burgers and pizzas!

Image Credit: Pinterest

Excess insulin levels: Diabetic women have a higher risk of acquiring with PCOS because, in diabetes, insulin is not utilized properly which causes the blood sugar levels to rise up. The excess of insulin levels causes the androgen levels to rise up considerably. Avoid foods rich in sugar which will shoot up your blood sugar levels.
Psychological factors: Stress is one of the prime causes of PCOS because to maintain equilibrium at both your personal and professional life, there is no time left to take care of your well being. The constant fight to be the best takes a toll on our mental well being. Include any kind of physical activity in your daily routine to keep stress at bay!
Obesity: Obesity is the root cause of a lot of diseases. It is always said to keep in check your weight because obesity gives birth to a number of diseases. Drastic changes in eating habits and lifestyle have also contributed to the rise of PCOS. No time for play and highly saturated and fat food are responsible for high rates of obesity in our country. Leading a healthy lifestyle can help fight such diseases. The inclusion of nutritious foods and physical activity can lessen the chances of acquiring PCOS.

written by Jagriti Verma

Today, I shall be reviewing Khadi Gold Thermo Herb Skin Tightening Face Pack . Most of us prefer going natural for taking proper care of our skin because it is good to keep away from chemicals as much you can! We all must be reading grandma’s home remedies for good skin while turning pages of magazines! LOL 🙂 I must say the prime reasons for going natural is that we are away from harmful chemicals and its harsh effects on our skin and there are no side effects. People switch to the chemicals from natural products because the results are not very immediate with the natural products but the harm caused to our skin due to use of chemicals is way too much! So, what do you prefer? Chemicals or Natural. I am sure you will pick going natural.Read out the review below!

Khadi Natural Gold Thermo Herb Skin Tightening Face Pack Review

Price:

I bought it for INR 200 (100 grams) from a Khadi outlet. It can be brought online also at various e-commerce websites.

How to Use:

Clean your face and pat it dry. Apply cream on face and neck and massage it. Make a thick paste of powder and cold water (In winters, prefer using warm water for better results). I add lemon drops to the paste for effective results. Apply the paste on your face leaving eye circles, lips and eyebrows. Avoiding applying the paste near your hairline as it might get difficult taking it off. No face movement. Leave it to dry. Wash your face and wipe it off gently.

My Experience with Khadi Gold Thermo Herb Skin Tightening Face Pack

I seriously needed something to deal with my skin tan as I travel by my scooty everyday and exposure to sun could not be avoided. I covered my face with stole and my hands with long gloves but all efforts were going in vain. I brought this Khadi product to combat the situation as I believe we should always opt for natural products for taking care of our skin. On applying this for the first time, I built confidence in this product as it really freshness and glow to my face. It has a stainless steel jar. The product is whitish pink color powder and has no smell. I only thing I found little difficult was taking off the pack. It is one hell of a task as I keep splashing water on my face for a long time to take off the pack completely!

Lips tinted with different colors give you a glamorous look.

# Shiny liquid liner

Last year, we saw different styles of eyeliners from winged eyeliners to double winged eyeliners but the shiny effect in eyeliners will add a different touch to overall makeup.

# Metallic shimmer

Glitters are back with a bang this year. Yes, you heard it right glitters and shine are back this year to add an edge to your make up. Shimmers makes you outshine in the crowd, while you should know the right amount of shimmer to be applied because shimmer in excess will overshadow your overall make up. Metallic shimmer can be in gold, silver or bronze depending upon the occasion for the makeup. It adds beautiful sparkle to your look. Shimmer can even be applied on the eye shadow area to give a metallic touch to your look.

# Burgundy Mascara

Mascara is used to add volume and length to the eyelashes by defining each and every lash separately. Nowadays, the mascara comes with inbuilt eyelash curler which saves you from the hassle of separately curling your lashes. Black mascara has been in since long but this year if you thought there is no tinge of red this time, then you are wrong. Red is still running in race of in fashion, but this time with burgundy mascara. Burgundy mascara will not only break the stereotype of black eye makeup, but will add an unconventional touch to your eye makeup. Colored mascara makes your eyes look bigger and defined. Burgundy mascara is surprisingly neutral and pairs well with most eye colors.

Elle 18 Glow Foundation Review 3

I got it as a gift. I had never thought of giving it a try because the Elle 18 does not hold a strong value in the market. The foundation comes in a black color slender tube. The cream is thick and does not blend easily with skin. The coverage is average as does not spread enough. It is not enough to serve the purpose of a foundation. The stay is quite efficient. It does not get absorbed in the skin. It is a good moisturizer if applied once. It is lightly scented but that does not linger for a long time. It does not live up to its claim of glow foundation. It gives a silvery finish to your skin.

Elle 18 Glow Foundation Review 4

Positives

Not highly priced
Good enough stay
Travel-friendly

Negatives

Unsatisfactory finish
Below average coverage
Silvery effect
Nothing like glow as claimed

Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry Compact Review

by Jagriti Verma December 23, 2018

written by Jagriti Verma

Who is it for? Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry Compact is for those looking for an affordable wet n dry compact.

Price:

I bought it for INR 700(9 grams) from Lakme Absolute outlet in a mall.

How to use:

Take the sponge and dab it on the compact powder and apply it evenly on the face. Apply it again if required.

My Experience with Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry Compact:

Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry Compact Review 4

I brought this product when winter season was on and I had just thought it will be kept unused till summers arrive. But to my surprise, I have been using it in winters because this compact does not give your face cakey ghostly look like most of the compact powders. It blends very well with skin giving smooth and satin finish. I put it on the BB cream to give it a good finish to my makeup. It serves dual purpose of compact and foundation but honestly, I have not given the foundation side a try. I loved its packaging as it has a nice grayish black circular container. On opening it my happiness doubled because there were two separate compartments for the compact and the sponge which makes it hygienic because in summers, sponge tends to become wet from the sweat on the face and keeping it back on the compact makes Ewwww! Dirty and smelly. The sponge is very soft and smooth which makes its application a delight.

Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry Compact Review 6

Pros

It can be used in summers and winters.
It can be used as a compact and foundation.
The packaging is very attractive as it has two separate compartments for sponge and compact.
Travel friendly
Hygienic packaging.
Smooth and satin finish.

Cons

No information about the ingredients on the compact powder.
It does not have 16 hour long stay; you have to touch up after 5 hours.

Overall Will I recommend and repurchase?

Yes, I would recommend and repurchase because it is a two in one compact powder which serves as a compact and foundation. It will save the cost of a foundation. It gives your face a smooth and satin finish and blends well with your skin. It contains SPF 17 and Vitamin B3 which protects your skin from harmful radiations. Though a bit expensive, the finish is up to the mark. It can be used in summers and winters. The product can be easily carried in our purses.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer Review

by Jagriti Verma December 9, 2018

written by Jagriti Verma

Who is it for? Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer is for those looking for a highlighting concealer with precise application. It is highlighting concealer which brightens as well as conceals your skin. It is primary step of any make up. It is used to hide any kind of flaws be it acne, blemishes, pimples or darker area of the skin. Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer Review

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer Review 1

Price:

I bought it for Rs. 660(1.5 ml) from a Maybelline outlet. It is available in three shades:

How to Use:

Twist the bottom of the container until the concealer appears on the in-built. You might have to twist it 10 times for the first time as it is written on the tube but it took me a few twists more. Apply the concealer to the under eye area, imperfections and area to highlight and blend it in an outward motion.

For using it under eye area, choose two shades lighter.

My Experience with Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer Review 3

I bought this product because I had read lot of reviews about it and thought about buying it since it was highlighting concealer. The reason I bought it since I have dark under eyes and I needed something to cover it in the function. The concealer comes in transparent plastic tube with an inbuilt brush. I found the inbuilt brush to be really good but was very unhappy as I was completely clueless on the number of times I should be twisting it to get the correct amount as you cannot determine how much is being dispensed from the tube. I did not find the product to be very promising as I found it could not blend well with my skin and coverage was medium. The finish of the product was not up to the mark as it had a grayish finish on the skin. The amount in the tube is very less.


Positives

The in-built brush makes the application easy.

Negatives

The packaging is not very impressive as it is difficult to dispense the concealer with comfort.
Fewer shades are available with this product.
Coverage is average.

Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

No, I would not recommend and repurchase because the product is bit difficult to handle because of its packaging most of the time you may end up dispensing unnecessary amount of concealer. But as far as the product is concerned, it performs average on concealing and highlighting and its coverage is medium.
