It’s January and winter is in its full glory (here in Delhi at least). While I absolutely love the winter warm and fuzzy clothes, the hot chocolate, and all those deserts that taste extra good this time of the year, what I just don’t like is what winters do to my skin. I recently came across one product that claims to maintain a healthy skin and I decided to try out and share the review of, with everyone. It is the Spawake Whitening Triple Care Serum that gives the skin a spa-like glow and moisturizes the skin from within. Read on to know how this skin serum fared for me.My skin feels so dry, patchy and dull in the colder months of the year. So I am all for finding good moisturizing skincare products that helps my skin in any way possible and keeps it moisturized and smooth. Spawake Claims: Triple Action Formula – Reduces Melanin Production, Prevents Melanin accumulation, Hydrates & takes care of skin that has been damaged by UV radiation. My review of Spawake Whitening Triple Care Serum:
Even though Spawake Whitening Triple Care Serum happens to be a whitening serum, I did not get this serum because I would like to become fairer. No, instead, I was intent on trying the said serum out for its triple action formula that it boasts of. This spawake serum essentially reduces the Melanin Production and even prevents the melanin accumulation in the body. Now, Melanin basically is the pigment that gives the skin/ hair and eyes the color. If there is a high production of melanin in the skin, or even and accumulation, the skin reacts quickly to the sunlight and gets darker. Since the Spawake whitening serum prevents the production of Melanin and even its accumulation, it basically prevents the skin from turning dark. This serum also hydrates the skin and takes care of the skin that has already been damaged by UV radiation. Triple Care serum is gel like in texture and feels very smooth on the skin. I usually take two pumps of this serum and it is enough to cover my whole face and neck area.
For applying it, I wash my face with a mild face wash, let the face dry completely and then go ahead with applying this Spawake serum gently with light hands. The spawake serum gets absorbed into the skin really quickly and gives aglossy and radiant texture to the skin. I can almost see my skin with a little glow due to this serum. Post the whitening serum getting completely absorbed into the skin, I finish off my skincare routine with a moisturizing lotion to lock the serum into my skin for best results. After just seconds of application of this triple care serum, I can feel the freshness it gives to my skin. It is very lightweight and doesn’t even feel like I have layered some product on my skin. Since I have just begun using this Spawake serum on my skin, it would be unfair to say that I have already started seeing great results on my skin but I can say that the serum has definitely been working for me and that my skin definitely feels more glowing, fresh and awake. Price in India: Rs.399 for 45ml
Availability: Retail Market – Urban Chemist shops and Supermarkets like Big Bazaar in Delhi / NCRI recently shared my night time skincare routine on Snapchat and many of you wanted me to review The Body Shop Vitamin C Facial Radiance Capsules. My skin is usually combination-oily in summers however due to certain medications it has become very dry and dehydrated. My complexion looks quite dull and I was looking to incorporate products which brighten up my face. I’ve read many a times that topical application of Vit C helps in clearing out dark spots and improves the skin texture. That’s when I decided to gives these Vit C capsules by TBS a try. Read on to know if it’s worth the high price tag. Price: Rs 1,995Contains 28 capsules.Can be bought at TBS India PackagingThe TBS Vitamin C Radiance Capsules are packaged in a thick glass jar with a screw on cap. The jar comes packaged in an orange box which mentions all the necessary details like product claims, usage, date of expiry etc.
The product is sealed in an orange capsule which needs to be broken from the neck. The first time I tried it out, the capsule popped and the product went straight into my eyes, so yeah be a bit careful while doing that. TextureThe Body Shop Vitamin C Capsules are pale yellow in color and have a light citrus scent. I’m not a huge fan of such fragrance but the scent of the capsules is light and dissipates upon application hence it does not bother me. The texture is extremely light weight and feels almost like a serum. One capsule is enough to cover the full face but not the neck. Vit C capsules should be applied at night as they can cause photo-sensitivity. I usually cleanse my face with Avene Cleanance Gel, follow it up with a toner and then apply the Vit C capsule. Earlier, I was using it everyday but I had to limit the usage to every alternate day as it made my skin a bit sensitive and irritated. Hence people with sensitive skin should avoid Vitamin C products. It can also be a bit drying so I follow it up with a facial oil or a heavy duty night cream.
The Body Shop Vitamin C Capsules show result from the first day itself. My skin looked brighter the very next morning. I have been using it for more than a month now and it has made my skin softer and looks more healthy. The dullness has been reduced greatly and since I use it every other day, it lasts longer and doesn’t feel so expensive. Topical application of Vitamin C aka L-ascorbic acid provides amazing benefits as it is an antioxidant hence protects the skin from free radicals that lead to premature ageing. It helps reduce dark spots, melanin production and boosts collagen production leading to a healthy youthful skin. Using Vitamic C on the skin also helps increase the effectiveness of sunscreens. The Body Shop Vitamin C Facial Radiance Capsules have made my skin look so much better. However, if you find it a bit too expensive then you can try Cipla Vitamin C Serum instead which is a little more affordable. HBM Rating: The Body Shop Vitamin C Radiance Capsules are a great night time treatment which makes the skin brighter.
