TRESemme Hair Fall Defence Shampoo Review




Here I am going to post my review of Tresseme Hairfall Defense shampoo that I purchased months ago from Big Bazaar wherein I got 2 products for the same price due to an offer. This shampoo comes in a black and red bottle of which I have tried and tested both the products which are for preventing and curing hair fall.

 

About the product:

This Tresemme Hair Fall Defence shampoo helps to protect the hair from breakage and is said to improve the strength of the hair so that it doesn't break easily. It also prevents hair fall that can be caused due to dandruff or weakness and it is said to improve the quality of the hair, leaving it smooth and silky.

 

 

Experience:

Initially, I used to like this shampoo as it has a great fragrance and when I used it in the first week, the hair felt very soft and silky but while combing the hair, the amount of hair fall was too much. After using this product for a month, I just noticed that the quality of my hair is retained but there was no h
 
air growth and instead the hair started falling a lot. The hair breakage problem as same as before and hence I had to stop using this product and give away the second bottle. The brand is popular which is why I purchased this product but it did not help my hair breakage problems reduce at all.

 

Overall, I am quite disappointed with this product and would not recommend its use.

Olay Total Effects 7in1 Day Cream gentle SPF 15 Review




I have been using Olay Total Effect since 2 years now and am quite happy with the results of this product. I used to purchase this product from medical stores earlier but recently I purchased this product from an online shopping portal as was surprised to see that the same product available in medical stores is sold at a much cheaper rate online and even there are price discrepancies on different websites.

 

About the product:

 

This Olay Total Effects 7in1 Day Cream gentle SPF 15 is different from the other Olay products as it can be applied only during the day and it works as a moisturizer, lotion as well as an anti aging cream that helps to protect the skin and face from dust and dirt particles as well as fight the seven signs of aging.

 

Experience:

 

This cream has an amazing aroma that I absolutely love and while applying it as well, it leaves an awesome feeling on the skin and face. I apply it on my face only while I am at home in the morning itself after washing my face as when I once applied it and went out during a sunny day, I noticed patches on my face that looked miserable. It doesn't work well when outside and hence I apply it only while I am at home.

 

 

Benefits:

It is best suited for sensitive skin and since I have sensitive skin, it worked well. My skin quality has improved a lot since I have been using Olay and it's not that there are no aging sings on my face but they aren't that deep as they were before. The sings have reduced a lot and my skin is still intact which means the product has worked for me.

 

This product contains Niacinamide B3, Vitamins C & E and Pro Vitamin B5 wherein Niacinamide B3 increases the rate of skin renewal, Vitamins C & E helps dry skin and keeps it hydrated and Pro Vitamin B5 protects the skin, thus working as a moisturizer.

Lacto Calamine Skin Balance Daily Nourishing Lotion Review



I have been using Lacto Calamine lotion since years and when earlier it used to come in a glass bottle and the color of the lotion was pink, now it comes in a white pastic bottle and there are many brands that sell this product but none can be as good as the product sold by Lacto Calamine.

 
About the product:

This product Lacto Calamine has an amazing scent that adds to its qualities and when I apply this product on my hands, it smells amazing. Lacto Calamine works as a moisturizer as well as a repair cream that helps to repair the open pores and cure dryness of the skin.


Experience:

The best fact about this product is that the smell doesn't fade within few hours and remains for atleast 6-7 hours and hence I apply it before leaving my house and hence it remains for 7 hours since that time. The lotion is immediately absorbed within the skin and the exterior portion is left soft and smooth after that. When I travel for hours, the effect of the lotion is not lost and I have noticed that the skin doesn't feel dry nor does it get oily after applying this lotion. Even during the raining season, this lotion doesn't get wet or come off due to the rain water but it remains on the skin, nourishing it and keeping it soft and smooth.

 
Benefits:

It contains kaolin and glycerin which treat acne and protect the skin from any form of dust or pollution that can harm your skin, thus acting as a skin protector. The effect of this product is long lasting and the result on my skin has been amazing ever since I have been using this product.

Use of hair sprays

Here I will be discussing about the use of hair sprays and their advantages and disadvantages.

I used to apply hair sprays instead of using oil as my hair was quite dry and looked messed up when I used leave my hair. The hair spray I used to use was Gatsby Hair Spray that was recommended by the store where I purchased the same from. I used to apply gel on my hair before but it used to make my hair too wet and sticky and hence hair spray was the best option for me then.

When I started using hair sprays first, my daughter too wanted to give it a try and we both used to spray it on our hair after washing the hair and leave for work. The hair spray worked well first and I noticed that my hair was set even after hours of travel and work and till the hair did not come in contact with water, it remained as it is. However, the only issue I had with the product was that it used to make the hair strands stiff and the hair appeared as if it had gel without the sticky feeling.

 

After using the product for about 6 weeks, I noticed that the quality of my hair and my daughter's hair too reduced drastically and my daughter who is still young started getting white hair. It never happened with her before but it was after the use of this hair spray that her hair started turning white. I thought that it's because I bought an unknown brand but after that when I tried Loreal hair spray, my hair started falling a lot and hence I do not recommended use of hair sprays as while some cause whitening of the hair, others can lead to increased hair fall.

Tips to reduce/prevent acne

This is a problem of every woman who passes the tender age of 13-14 and becomes a teenager wherein the acne problems start rising and the acnes get too painful and at times start bleeding if proper care is not taken. Here I would like to list few tips to reduce and prevent acne (methods that I've personally tried):

 

i. Wash your face regularly: Our skin is very delicate and when we travel a lot or our skin comes in contact with dust and dirt, it's necessary to wash it regularly to take off the dirt from the pores and leave it dry. It's necessary to use only water while washing your face or you can use a good face wash but only use it twice a day and not regularly else it can affect your skin quality and make it look dull. Washing your face regularly will prevent more acne on your skin as it removes any oil or dirt from the pores that causes the rise of acne on your face. You should was your face almost every hour and never touch your face without washing your hands as hygiene is the first step to prevent acne.

 

ii. Drink lots of water: Water is the best cure that helps your stomach to remain clean and when you drink water, your metabolism remains good and any food stuffs that can cause the rise of acne on your skin can be avoided. Usually acne is caused due to the food items we eat and mainly during menstruation for women that create a bad stomach and lead to the rise on acne. Drinking 5 glasses of water a day can help your digestion and also reduce the acne on your skin. Also, avoid eating any oily or junk food if you suffer from acne problems a lot and try to eat more fruits while having lots of water.

 

iii. Use warm water: If you have acne on your face, the best method to help the acne from reducing is to dab a piece of cotton in Luke warm water and place it on the affected areas of your face. The water shouldn't be boiling hot but just Luke warm and then let the cotton remain on the spots till it drops on its own when dry. Repeating this every day will help in preventing the acne from breaking or bleeding and eventually the spots on the face vanish after the acne is cured. It helps in not leaving marks after the acne vanishes and this is the best technique rather than using pimple creams.

 

iv. Use clean tissues: Whenever you need to wipe or clean your face, use a new tissue (face tissues only) and move it softy on the face whether or not you have acne. Avoid touching your face with your bare hands and only use tissues to remove sweat from the face or anytime you need to wipe it and use a new tissue always and then dispose it off after use. Avoid using towels if you have acne.

 

v. Use of moisturizers: It's best to avoid moisturizers if you have acne as they can attract dirt and dust while travelling and increase the acne issues. If you don't have any acne, you can use a moisturizer and then after 2-3 hours, wash it off with a face wash and use it again if needed. It does not have to remain on your skin for a long time as it can cause acne problems.
