Talking about how i feel after using the Plum Chamomile & White Tea Skin Revival Face Wash, now i not only use this face wash when i am coming back home after sun exposure or just before going out, i use this everyday as many times as i just wash my face. So in a day i use this at least 3 times. I find this to be a gentle face wash, very mild and does not dry out the skin, note this is winter season, and even then this does not really crack up my skin or makes it too dry. Also as has been claimed by the brand, you really would only a pea-sized amount for one wash, and it will cover your entire face, however this does not lather up a lot but cleans well. 

Plum Chamomile & White Tea Skin Revival Face Wash is basically a face wash for normal-combination skin as is written on the body of the tube. I really feel this one even though is a mild formulae, but cleans the skin well, however my skin being oily, starts getting greasy in an hour as usual. It has got a mild scent, which i really like, and the consistency of the product is medium, not too runny, and the color is yellow. It is vegan and also soap-free, which are really good for the health of the skin. Personally, i do like this Plum face wash, and might buy another pack if budget permits. I think one tube will last 1 month easily.

Natio Ageless Firming Night Cream REVIEW

RATING :- 7.8 OUT OF 10

Here is another product from Natio, it is the Natio Ageless Firming Night Cream. It is suitable for all skin types. It comes in a plastic container which is transparent in color. It costs INR Rs 1190 for a pack of 45 g.

Ingredients : Water, Glycereth-26, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Nylon 12, Steareth-12, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Rose Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Rose Oil Anatolia, Styrax Benzoin Gum, Xanthan Gum etc.

What Natio claims about the Natio Ageless Firming Night Cream ? : Natural extracts infused with modern skin science for overnight ageing defence. Organic Rosehip and Evening Primrose help to repair and firm depleted skin cells. Non-greasy, invisibly melts into clean skin.

Natio Ageless Firming Night Cream is more of a moisturizer and that's what i feel. It is superbly light-weight and absorbs like magic on the skin, leaving the skin smooth supple and very calm. It has got a very light rose odor, which lingers for sometime, and i love this thing about the face cream. So basically what i do is i apply this after washing my face, before going to bed at night, and let it be there whole night. I have been using for around 3 weeks now, once everyday, at night. Till now, it did not break out my skin. However, for oily skinned people, this might be too light, and you might pile this up with some heavy cream and apply to get enough moisturization on the skin. The texture is very light and not thick or creamy, kind of lotion. And the product is white in color with a slight tint of pink it it.

The packaging is very travel-friendly, no spillage and of course you need not worry about the container breaking or something as its made up of plastic. Regarding the claims made by the company for Natio Ageless Firming Night Cream i am not sure about the anti-ageing part. No such firmness of the skin has been noticed yet. So finally i would like to comment that this is a very nice moisturizer especially if you are having combination to oily skin. Provides enough hydration and feels fresh, with clean skin and you smell good too. I might repurchase this as a moisturizer. With the price tag, this is definitely a nice find. However, if you are looking for solely an anti-ageing moisturizer or night cream, this will disappoint you.

Plum Chamomile & White Tea Calming Antioxidant toner REVIEW

RATING :- 7.8 OUT OF 10

Here is another product from Plum which i bought recently. Its the Plum Chamomile & White Tea Calming Antioxidant toner. It comes in a white plastic bottle with a press-open cap. It costs INR Rs 380 for a pack of 380 ml.

Ingredients : Aqua, Glycerin, Chamomile Flower Extract, White Tea Leaf Extract, Olive Leaf Extract, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Menthol etc.

How to use ? : After washing face, pour out small quantity of toner on palm and splash on face. You could also use a cotton ball to dab the toner softly all over. Leave on and let your skin soak up the goodness. Let toner air dry, dont rush to wipe it off. Now you are ready for the next step : Moisturizer!

Shake the bottle well before each use.

What Plum claims about the Plum Chamomile & White Tea Calming Antioxidant toner ? : Normal - Combi Skin

A splash of calm! Filled with antioxidants from 7 different sources, this alcohol-free toner is just what your skin needs to calm down and get ready to face the world - again.

Now coming to what i felt after using the Plum Chamomile & White Tea Calming Antioxidant toner. I have been using this for quite sometime now. I use the cotton ball technique and my facial skin instantly feels very calm and smooth. Since this does not have alcohol, it is beneficial for your skin than the normal skin toners. You just need to let it air dry and post that you can continue using any cream or moisturizer of your choice. Since this is a very mild toner, it wont strip off the skin of all moisture and thats really a good thing again. However, for my super oily skin, i always need to wash my face first with face wash and then apply the toner otherwise its too mild and my skin feels oily ever after using this. So, i think that this is suitable for dry skin and normal to combination skin. The toner is colorless and very light-weight.

One more thing that i love about this skin toner is the fragrance, its amazing and stays on for quite sometime. However the packing of the Plum Chamomile & White Tea Calming Antioxidant toner especially the cap is very bad, and the toner spills out from the cap, so this is not travel-friendly. Also the price of the skin toner is quite high compared to the other skin toners available in the market, however i could still forget about that as this is non-alcoholic if the packaging was proper, which is not. I already have another Plum Green Tea toner so i wont be repurchasing this anytime in future.

Plum SPF 50 Chamomile & White Tea Sheer Matte Day Cream REVIEW

RATING :- 9.5 OUT OF 10

Today's review is about Plum SPF 50 Chamomile & White Tea Sheer Matte Day Cream. So i got this sometime back and have been using. This is one of the best sunscreens i have ever used at this price. The price is INR Rs 520 for a pack of 60 ml. It comes in a cardboard packaging and got a white plastic tube with a white cap on it.

Ingredients : Aqua, Capric Triglyceride, Benzophenone-3, Stearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, PEG 400, Chamomile Flower Extract, White Tea Leaf Extract, Olive Leaf Extract, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Niacinamide etc.

What Plum claims about Plum SPF 50 Chamomile & White Tea Sheer Matte Day Cream ? : Normal - Combination Skin
Dream Cream Ultra-light day cream with a dreamy texture. 3 other reasons to love :

1. Specialist SPF 50 solar-shielding actives
2. Chamomile that soothes & calms skin during & after sun exposure.
3. Antioxidant white tea that helps protect & repair oxidative damage.

Sun exposure has been found to be responsible for up to 90% of the visible signs of skin ageing, such as wrinkles, spots and less-than-taut skin.

How to use : Dot your face with cream. One dot each on forehead, both cheeks, nose and chin (5 dots in all). Gently massage in with finger-tips in small upward-outward circles. Dont forget neck and arms. Reapply after 3-4 hours. Allow at least 10 mins before you step out in the sun. This allows the sunscreen to settle down and stay effective.

Plum SPF 50 Chamomile & White Tea Sheer Matte Day Cream is the best sunscreen for normal to oily skin according to me, because once you apply you will see the cream is totally matte and absorbs flawlessly on the skin, leaving no oiliness or stickiness. It also does not leave any whitish cast which is often a problem with Lotus Sunscreen Lotions. Also SPF 50 is quite a good amount of protection to the skin, and i think if you are not sweating, you can delay the reapplication by 5 hours. I applied this sunscreen 4 hours before and once i got back home, i saw no oiliness or greasiness, so i just love this. May be my t-zone was a bit oily but i cant give the credit for that to this day cream definitely because i got oily skin and even i dont apply anything on my face, it gets oily in few hours.

Plum SPF 50 Chamomile & White Tea Sheer Matte Day Cream got a mild smell which is quite refreshing. The cream is white in color and consistency is quite creamy and thick. The packaging is also travel-friendly and compact so you can carry this in your purse. However, dry skinned people might like to apply a light moisturizer before applying this day cream as this is not greasy and 100% matte. I would definitely repurchase this in near future.

Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection SPF 15 REVIEW

RATING :- 9.5 OUT OF 10

Since the winter season is not far behind, i am checking on my moisturizer stock these days. And got my hand on the Shiseido Day Moisture Protection SPF 15. Now this one is a sample pack which weighs 15ml and i got this for free. However, when i checked online, i could get this only on amazon where they are selling this as a part of kit so i could not find out the exact price yet, but i believe it should be around INR Rs 2000 for a pack of 75 ml. It comes in a white plastic bottle with a cap.

How to apply Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection SPF 15 ? : Smooth over face after cleansing and balancing skin.

Ingredients : Glycerin, Yuzu Extracts, Ensulizole, Octinoxate, Octocrylene

I really love this Shiseido moisturizer because it is non oily totally and non sticky however hydrates really well. Generally we have this confusion that if its a light-weight moisturizer and is not that greasy, will it really moisturize the skin properly? But this one Shiseido Day Moisture Protection SPF 15 does the work perfectly. It has got a mild aroma which i like. The moisturizer is white in color and absorbs very fast when applied on the skin, leaving the skin soft and supple without any oiliness. Wonderful, is not it? Just the moisturizer oily-skinned girls like us would be looking for forever! I gave this moisturizer to my relative also, who got combination skin, and she loves it too on her skin. But this might be a bit light for dry skinned people, and then you need to put two three layers of this on your skin, to make this work really well. Also if your skin is dry, you can even use this during the summer as a summer face lotion.

Another thing that i like about this Shiseido moisturizer is that it contains SPF 15 so if you are going out in the sun, you need not apply any sunscreen separately as this will take care of the sun protection side as well as hydration. Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection SPF 15 is travel friendly too, there is no spillage or leakage from the bottle so you can carry it around. The only issue is the availability. I dont know if the Shiseido stores got this because online this one's availability seems quite difficult. Also i could not find this moisturizer in the Shiseido website so i guess they have stopped manufacturing this one. That is sad! I love this moisturizer a lot!
