Unusually Coffee!

 

Hey there! This post is all about COFFEE!! Are you a coffee person?? I love coffee a lot! Besides drinking it there are a few amazing tips and remedies of coffee which are extremely beneficial, easy to prepare and inexpensive!! I read an article about coffee in a mag recently so decided to share it with you guys on my blog!

1. REDUCE CELLULITE: 

Did you know caffeine enhances fat metabolism, reducing the appearance of fatty pockets under the skin?

Make your own coffee cellulite treatment at home. All you need to do is mix some warm used coffee beans with coconut oil and  rub the mixture onto your skin in circular motions for a few minutes before rinsing. Do it regularly and get rid of fatty skin =)

2. GET SHINY HAIR:

 

Coffee is often recommended as simple, natural treatment to make hair extra glossy!

Brew up an extra strong pot, let it cool and apply it to your dry, clean hair. Leave it for at least 20 minutes, then rinse. Keep it up once a week or so for best results and simply flaunt away the shine! ;-)

3. NATURAL DYE:

 

The pigments in coffee make it a great natural dye. Using coffee as a hair treatment, as previously mentioned, may temporarily lend a rich, dark tint to your hair.

4. EXFOLIATE SKIN:

 

The same properties that reportedly enable coffee to reduce the appearance of cellulite can smooth and tighten your skin and the texture of ground coffee will buff away dead skin cells too.

Make your own coffee-based scrub by combining a tbsp of coffee grounds with half a tbsp of olive oil and optionally a drop of your favorite essential oil. So, besides drinking use it as a scrub and enjoy your baby soft skin!

Coffee grounds. Isn't the pic cute? =)

REVIEW -- Vaseline Healthy Hand and Nail lotion

Heyaa!

Today I am sharing a product with you which I have been using all winter religiously and is one of my winter must haves. It is a hand lotion by Vaseline.
I have always neglected products of hand care. During the winter of last year I decided on giving this pink bottle a try.

My first experience was pretty good. I was really happy that it smelled good (because I was thinking that if the product does not work then I could at least use it for the sake of its fragrance =P)

Anyhow, this product is not a bad choice. The consistency is like that of a normal lotion. Neither too thick, neither runny. It quickly absorbs into the skin without leaving a greasy film, which is a plus point.

In winters it heals dry skin pretty effectively making hands soft and smooth. Although the product claims about giving stronger nails, I never experienced that. I felt no noticeable change in the growth or condition of my nails =/

I also like using it after removing my nail polish. It instantly gives nails a healthy look. 

Whats your favorite hand care product?

Hope you like reading.

REVIEW -- Nivea Visage Gentle Face Wash.

Face wash is one of the product I use every single day. I have tried many face washes from different brands and Nivea has suited my skin very well. I love to use this face wash in winters as it fulfills my demands for skin care for the dry season. I, therefore, thought of sharing with you one of my fave products of the season and it has also been included in my January Favorites post.

Let's get into the actual review now.

Brand: Nivea Visage

Product Name: Gentle Face Wash

Skin Type: Dry to sensitive skin(it is also suitable for normal/combo skin)

Active Ingredients: Natural Almond Oil and Calendula Extract

Fragrance: Classic Nivea creme smell, very delicate and mesmerizing

Texture: Creamy Texture. It will feel as if you are using a cleansing milk on your face instead of a face wash. It is 100% soap free.

Contains tiny pink beads which gently melts away in your skin as you massage.

Can you see the little pink beads??

 Nivea's Claim:

" Nivea Visage Gentle Face Wash enriched with natural Almond Oil & Canlendula Extract cleanses your skin effectively yet mildly without drying it out:

-Cleanses in depth and removes impurities.

-Offers skin additional moisturization to keep its suppleness." 

My Experience:
The first time I flipped the cap open I was carried away by its dainty smell. In the beginning I was doubting the creamy texture that whether it will clean effectively or no but as I started massaging my skin I felt so clean and the mild texture refreshed my skin very well. It doesn't lather up at all but is equally effective to those cleansers which lather like crazy but even dry out.
Nivea Visage Gentle Face Wash cleansed my skin without hurting the moisture and as I washed off my face, a silky, smooth and refreshed face was revealing. I was happy that not a single speck of dryness or impurity was left.
Another thing which surprised me was that my face remained fresh and hydrated all day long. With continuous use, my pores are noticeably smooth and minimized. I felt no irritation at all as the name suggests its GENTLE=)

Price & Availability: This is what disappoints me = P I got it for RS. 635 from Agha's whereas at MY Super Store and at Chase Value Center it costed only RS 520!! =(

Overall I would like to recommend this to all who suffer from dry/sensitive skin and needs extra gentle face wash. It is a very mild, everyday face wash which will do wonders for your skin.

Hope you enjoyed reading.

Which face wash is your favorite???
