When it comes to face wash, one thing I can definitely say, is that their advertisement is so attractive, that anyone would feel like buying them all. That happens to me all the time. I have like 3 or 4 bottles of face wash at home, which are unused ! But, not all of these face washes are effective enough. Some are a total waste of money. And sometimes, it seems home remedies work better than these face washes. And I bet there are many like me, who just buy face wash packs, because they seem attractive.

So here's listing a few face washes, I didn't like and some which I loved. Starting with those which I did NOT like-
1) Clean & Clear Morning Energy Face Wash- I'm currently using this face wash, but I'm not at all pleased with it. Me being me, had bought it because it looked attractive.. But it is not even that much of foamy and tends to be a lot on the liquid-like part rather than the jelly like ones. Moreover, it is not even as flavored or  with those added beads as they claim it to be, and I'm quite disappointed.

2) Lakme Fruit Blast- Again, attractive looks lured me into getting this. This was more on the jelly-like base that I wanted, but the one I had bought(Berry Crush or something), had this weird smell which was nauseating for me. I was trying to finish it, but that scent got too much for me, and I ended up throwing it away.

The Clean & Clear one, comparatively is effective in reducing acne and pimples and stuff, but the Lakme one was displeasing like anything. But overall, I'd say I won't recommend these to anyone, because you may find a better one out there, if you look for it.

=> Face wash I loved-
1) Himalayan Neem Facewash- This face wash was absolutely amazing. It works on acne, pimples, etc. It has a jelly-like base too! And,it is cheap too! Plus it consists of some natural ingredients, which is why it is suitable for all skin types. It does not have any irritating or nauseating scents, is effective and cheap and maybe that is the reason it is the only face wash to make it to my favorites ! It comes in a small size, which you can even pocket, if going somewhere!

So that is it for face washes. Hopefully, you like it :)

At times, we all have been through rough or dry skin which makes our face look a bit dull. Like in winter, my skin tends to dry out, giving a dull, worn-out effect. So, today I'm listing five things, which work wonders in making your skin become soft and smooth.
1) Aloe vera- Aloe Vera works like magic for me! Firstly, it's natural, so you don't have to worry about side-effects(unless you have allergies), and secondly, you can use it for any skin problem! Be it Acne, Pimple, scratches, roughness, dryness, Aloe Vera gel seems to heal all of this. I always use Aloe Vera gel too, for pimple problems.

2) Cucumber- Yes, I know cucumber is good for the eyes, but cucumber is also good for your skin. It works as a good cooling agent in hot summer days. And just like Aloe, no side effects plus it works for almost everything. Recently, I heard from a friend that,cucumber gel also works for getting rid of dark circles. I haven't tried this out yet, but I do intend too, and I'll let you know accordingly.

3) Turmeric- Might seem odd to you, but I've seen people use turmeric as a fairness agent, and I'm quite sure it helps in smoothening  your skin too. For this, you make a paste of turmeric with water, and apply it on your face. Let it dry and wash it out later. It will brighten your face and soften the skin too.

4) Fuller's Earth- Called Multani Mitti in my country, India, this is one very effective product! It is mainly used in facepacks and facial kits. This is quite famous here, because of the instant results it gives. You just have to apply it all over your face and let it dry for quite some time. While drying it tends to give a stretchy feeling on your skin, but well, no pain no gain. Once you are washed with it, smooth and fair skin, here it comes!

5) Coconut oil/ Petroleum jelly- However much I hate oiling my hair, skin or anything, I can't disagree with the fact that it works wonders on your skin. Even petroleum jelly works wonderfully in making your dry skin soft again. And these are probably the best options out there! They are cheap and they work marvelously!

So, these were my 5 things to help you get smooth skin, this winter. Go natural instead of using some creams ! ;)
