So how is winter treating you my pretties? In Kolkata, we’ve hardly got an opportunity to experience the cold this year. Can you believe that it is 6th of Jan and the temperature right now is 24 degrees?? Global warming my friends. High time we all take some action else Lord knows what will happen in the coming years!! Anyway, let me get to the point. Whether it is too cold or not, winter brings with it the usual skin issues – dryness, chapped lips, cracked heels etc. Come November, I start hoarding winter skin care products and this year, I’ve been loving some of the products from Himalaya Herbals. Take a look at some of my favorites.
VLCC Sandal Cleansing Milk – Review
One thing I am extremely particular about is removing every bit of makeup from my face before hitting the sack at night. My regime is pretty simple. I first clean my face either with a cleansing oil or milk, then wash with a mild face wash, then I apply a toner and the last step is a moisturiser. Lately, because of how dry my skin feels, I’ve been using the VLCC Sandal Cleansing Milk in the first step of my cleansing regime and I quite like it.
Product Description

Used in a variety of ways, it can help balance oil secretion, dryness, pimples and dark circles.

Garnier Pure Active Apricot Face Scrub – Review
What is that one product that guarantees fresh and radiant skin instantly? A face scrub of course and my current favourite is this new launch by Garnier, the Pure Active Apricot Face Scrub priced at Rs 70 for 50g . Garnier says that this scrub contains the goodness of 1500 apricot beads to make the skin feel special. I can’t vouch for the 1500 claim but yes, the granules pack a mean punch to remove dead cells and reveal clean and fresh skin.
