Vivel Cell Renew Night Creme Review

Vivel Cell Renew Night Creme

Vivel Cell renew from ITC has come up with a new Night creme. 

The product has derma refine complex,a formula which promises to boost ceramide synthesis at night when the skin's metabolism is high and helps to repair the damage caused by the harsh environment and the sun.The Derma Refine complex also renews skin by antioxidant replenishment and there is an instant surge of hydration.

Ceramides make 40% of the lipids on the topmost layer of the skin. Ceramide content is affected by exposure to sun and harsh environments. As a result, the skin's defence system can also become weak. This can cause the sun to cause further damage to the skin leading to pigmentation, black spots and dullness.

Vivel Cell Renew Night Creme review

I used the cream for about a month or so before writing about it. The process is simple. Just cleanse your skin and apply the cream in a circular motion every night.

What I felt about the product ?

• The cream was light in texture. Even in this humid weather, it did not feel too heavy on my skin

• I like the packaging of the product. Unlike other creams which come without a spatula, there is no contact with the cream, so there is no contamination. The smart packaging allows only the required amount of cream

• My skin felt hydrated every time I applied it

• The cream has an amazing light smell which feels nice and fresh at night.At the same time, it's not very overpowering

A 50g pack is priced at Rs.649.

Take care of your skin this Holi - Skin care tips from Dr.Blossom Kochhar

Holi is a festival of colours and happiness. It is one such festival that brings out the child in us. The vibrant colours and the festive mood is enough to light up the atmosphere and enable people to enjoy. However, it is essential that to ensure that we have a safe Holi.

During this festival we tend to use colours that have harsh chemicals, so first I would request you all to play Holi with Organic colours. The colours that are usually used during Holi can lead to skin allergies, rashes and damaged hair. According to me, the best way to play Holi is to play it with flowers. The aroma of different flowers makes a wonderful ambience and it is the safest way as well.

 I would recommend you to follow a pre-holi regime for skin and hair care as under:

Nails:

• Paint your nails bright as this will help you keep your nails and the cuticles safe from the harsh colours and the chemicals.
• Before going to play Holi, I would recommend you immerse your fingers in a mixture comprising of 1 tablespoon each of coconut oil and olive oil and 1 teaspoon of castor oil. This will help in keeping the colours from penetrating the cuticles of your fingers. This should be done for both fingers and toes.

Lips:

• For protecting your lips while playing Holi, use a lipbalm or a lipstick so that it keeps the lips protected and moisturised at the same time.

Skin:

• Make a mixture of 1 tablespoon each of coconut oil and olive oil and add to it a teaspoon of castor oil. Apply this mixture all over your skin before playing Holi. Make sure you apply it on the ears as well and the area behind the ears.
• If you wish after moisturising your skin thoroughly with oil mixture, you can apply sunscreen on your face.
• I would recommend you avoid putting any kind of makeup while playing Holi with colours.

Hair:

•    Oil your hair from the scalp to tip of the hair the night before. Give your scalp a gentle massage before you sleep and repeat the process in the morning.
• Do not leave your hair open. Tie it into a ponytail or a bun and cover your head with a scarf

Post Holi Skin Care:

·       Do not scrub the colour off with soap. Use a cream based cleanser or you can even use oil for removing the colours, and then go for a bath. Apply a lot of moisturising cream to keep the skin hydrated.

·       If the colours are still left on your skin you can follow any of the two recipes:

 a.)   Add 1 teaspoon of besan to 2 tablespoons of milk and make it into a paste. To it add a few drops of lavender essential oil. Apply this mixture on your skin. Then have a bath

b.)   Take 2 tablespoon of besan and sandalwood powder, to it add a tablespoon of orange peel and milk. Mix them together thoroughly and to this paste add 2 – 3 drops of sandalwood essential oil. Apply this mixture on your skin thoroughly and then have a bath

 Hair Care Tips:

Since your hair turns dry after the festival of colours is over, you need to put it through deep conditioning. I recommend the following recipe for post holi hair care.

• Take 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and coconut oil, to it mix 1 teaspoon each of castor oil, glycerine, vinegar, conditioner and your shampoo respectively. Apply the mixture on your hair and the scalp and leave it on for an hour and then rinse it off

Review: Garnier's new Pure Active Exfoliating Apricot face scrub

Face scrubs are a must have in every girl's skin care it. They gently scrub off the dead cells and the accumulated dirt and grime to give you a fresh and soft feeling.

Garnier Pure Active has come up with an exciting product - The Pure Active exfoliating apricot face scrub. It promises to pack in the power of 1500 beads with every wash for a flawless looking skin.

Apricots are known for their benefits for a healthy skin. It is considered one of the exfoliating properties. You can find out about more benefits by clicking here.

 

The product comes in a nice inverted tube which is easy to use and causes minimum wastage.The moment you take out a small amount in your hand, you feel the apricot beads in your hand and can experience the welcome aroma of fresh apricots.

The pack instruction mentions gently massaging the cream on your wet face before washing off clean water.


After using the product on my face as per the pack instructions, my skin felt smooth and clean. It does not dehydrate the skin because of its creamy texture as is the case with other face scrubs. However, if you have very dry skin, you might have to use a moisturizer after scrubbing. Whether or not the skin feels dry, I apply a moisturizer or sunscreen after using a scrub.

The product is priced at Rs.70 for a 50g pack.

Lets look at the Pros and Cons:

Pros:
1. Nice creamy texture
2. welcome aroma of dried apricots the moment you open the tube
3. The skin feels soft and clean after usage
4. Does not cause skin drying
5. Affordable product

Cons:
I didn't find any disadvantage in the product

Overall, A good product. You must try it out.
