My experience with All Natural Sunscreen: Kama Ayurveda Natural Sun Protection

Kama Ayurveda sunscreen is a natural sun protectant claimed by the company containing 99.3% of the natural content. The amount of SPF may seem less but for the Indian climate and sun exposure, it’s just perfect to use. It not about high SPF but about the correct amount in the product.

This sun protectant is gentle non-chemical daily-use sunscreen blended with nutmeg that has anti-inflammatory properties that provide full-spectrum sun protection and a boost of hydration to keep skin healthy and even-toned. As claimed by the company it is not suitable for acne-prone skin but suits all other types.

I apply a layer of moisturizer and then the sunscreen in a tap motion. We should always dab and not rub the sunscreen; it should be layered in terms of protecting the skin. It forms a white cast after application but disappears after some time. It should be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure.

The sunscreen comes in a yellow black tube, perfect to be carried around in a bag. The product contains Zinc Oxide, which is a natural occurring mineral and one of the safest skin-protecting ingredients against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays. It filters out both UVA and UVB rays, thus forming a shield that keeps UV radiation from penetrating the skin and causing cell damage. With Anti-microbial properties, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide is non-toxic, non-comedogenic and is one of the few sun care ingredients that are safe to use.

The consistency of the product is perfect to apply and blends into the skin very well. It leaves the skin lightly refreshingly scented because of the content of natural ingredients.

The overall performance of All Natural Sunscreen: Kama Ayurveda Natural Sun Protection

My experience with Olay Moisturizing Lotion

During winters my skin starts feeling a bit dry even if my skin is oily, so I wanted to go for a product, which would moisturize but not make oily and this is the exact product I am talking about. Olay is a really famous brand known as oil of Olay and has a good range of products.

This moisturizing lotion does what it claims i.e. Olay moisturizing lotion replenishes skin. This lotion is formulated with ingredients to help restore and maintain firm youthful looking skin. Its formula contains fluids so similar to the natural fluids in young skin that skin readily claims as its own.

Olay Moisturizing Lotion has been shown significantly to boost skin hydration, increase skin suppleness and firmness, and improve skin smoothness. Yes, it does all of it with regular application. It has made my skin really soft and smooth. It is a non-greasy formula, which nourishes skin and makes you feel good.

I usually apply it when I stay home or at night because there is no content of SPF in the product. I also apply it before my makeup to moisturize and then follow my regime.

It comes in a white translucent matte finished bottle with a black cap. The texture is semi-liquid and baby pink in color (✿◠‿◠). It has a mild floral scent, which is delightful.

The overall performance of Olay Moisturizing Lotion

Pros:

• Keeps skin soft & supple
• Moisturizes
• Good base for makeup
• Non-greasy
• Pleasant fragrance
• Little goes a long way
• Quick absorption
• Reasonable
• Available
• Travel Friendly

Cons:

• No SPF

Would I recommend?

I would definitely buy it again after running out and would recommend to everyone facing winter dryness to give it a try; it restores skin hydration to soothe dryness leaving skin soft, supple and smooth.

My experience with Chambor Silver Shadow Compact

We usually use a setting or finishing powder to set our foundation but even compacts are really helpful. In daily use I feel carrying a compact is easier than a face powder, which is a bit bulky, and not very travel-friendly. Compacts come in cake form, which makes it more travel-friendly.

I use the product on daily basis to buff over as I have oily skin and it needs blotting. This even keeps my makeup intact and gives this slight shine, which it needs. The shade I use from the Chambor Silver Shadow compact range is RR2, which is a Rose pale. I am using this for quite some time and keep replacing the pan with a new one. The refill packs are available.

It comes in a dark blue triangular shaped compact casing. There is a mirror inside which helps to apply the product when out. The shade is written on the bottom of the case.

It has a tiny hole, which helps to replace the pan time to time with the help of a pin.

The texture of the product is smooth and soft. It comes in compressed powder form, which is easy to carry and use as well. It comes with a puff but I lost mine. I use a brush to go over my face and it gives a smooth finish with a sheen look. I absolutely love the feel of it. It needs a touch up every 4-5 hours, as my skin is oily.

The overall performance of Chambor Silver Shadow Compact

Pros:

• Blends well
• Gives a good finish
• Good coverage
• Leaves no residue behind
• Controls oil
• Decent stay power
• Travel-Friendly
• Available

Cons:

• No SPF
• Limited shades available

Would I recommend?

Overall I like the product. I like the texture and the finish it gives so I would recommend it to all who find their shade in this range.
