Innisfree Wine Peeling Jelly Softener


         As we all know, we need to exfoliate twice a week to remove dead skin cells. Therefore, it’s very important to put this on our skincare routine. I was always big on apricot scrubs. After hearing a lot on about K-Beauty products I wanted to try Innisfree Wine Peeling jelly softener. So, read on to know how Innisfree Wine peeling jelly softener worked for me.

Hypo allergic in nature.

Ingredients:
                 Water, Glycerin, Cellulose, Propanediol, Wine Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Amaranthus Caudata’s Seed Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract, Orchid Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract, Opuntia Coccinellif.Era Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Beta-Glucan, Ethyl hexyl glycerin, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Disodium Edta, Ceramide 3,Fragrance,Phenoxyethanol.

Packaging:
       Innisfree Wine peeling jelly softener comes with a burgundy plastic 180ml bottle which looks like a wine bottle. The product is sealed with an airtight seal to prevent the product from spilling.

How to use:
       After cleansing pour appropriate amount onto cotton pad and gently sweep over the entire face avoiding the eye and lip area. Rinse off with lukewarm water or refine with toner when dead skin cells start to peel off with natural cellulose.

My Experience:
     I love the pleasant fragrance it gives the aroma of grapes/wine. The texture of the product is a jelly type consistency which is translucent color and has micro granules in it. The instruction says that we need to apply it using cotton pad. 
           I usually don't apply according to the instruction. Spreading the product and massaging my face with my finger will do.  You may feel a little tingling sensation but that’s with any peel, but that’s how the product is working on your skin and that’s normal.
        Once you rub your face in a circular motion (Do not rub vigorously) it started peeling immediately. It does not peel the actual skin, but the product has a cellulose which coagulates. It does not harm or cause allergenic to the skin. I kept it for a minute.
         Skin feels cleansed, helps in removing dead skin and exfoliate the skin once you rinse off with lukewarm water. There is no dramatic change, but it keeps the skin clean, soft and firm. Since exfoliation leaves your skin little dry apply a moisturizer.
         I always use the product in the night as we should not expose our skin to harsh sun after a peel as it gets very sensitive. One thing I dint find in this product is it does not remove black heads. This product works as a mild exfoliator which is good for problematic skin. I use it twice in week as it improves my skin texture.

Pros of Innisfree wine peeling jelly softener:
·         Leaves the skin soft and smooth
·         Good for sensitive skin
·         It is organic.

Cons of Innisfree wine peeling jelly softener:
·         Does not help with blackheads.
·         Price is bit high.

Overall view:
     It does everything what it claims. If you are looking for a mild exfoliator you can try this product. This is my personal review. So, the result of the product might be different on other people.

My Experience:
                The packaging come with a round tub covered with a plastic cap inside it to avoid spilling it. The texture is very light weight and transparent in color. It has a mild scent and it does not have artificial coloring.
                I always prefer the one with a tube as this is unhygienic when u dip it with your hands. So always have a spatula to use the gel or use it with your clean hands. The quantity of the product is good as it can last for months.
                This gel can be used any time but i apply it on the night before going to the bed. I apply a layer of gel, massaged my skin and leave it overnight and when you wash it in the morning your skin feels hydrated.
                This product does a great job. I have a combination skin i was suffering from breakouts and the aloe Vera gel did help me out. My acne had reduced after using this gel. It dint break out and made my skin smooth and moisturized. When applying the gel on your face it makes your skin sticky but when you leave for minute it just gets settled on your skin.  It is soothing and goes smoothly under my makeup mattifying skin. Refrigerate the tub and apply on your parched skin this really worked wonders on my face.

Pros:
                Best for oily skin and acne prone skin
                Moisturize well
                Comes in huge tub and lasts for months
Cons:
                Little sticky on face.
                Has a light fragrance
                I just love tube packaging as it is convenient to use.

Overall view:
                Be little patience and use this religiously as a moisturizer and a night cream you will feel the difference. I would buy this product again. I would rate the overall product as 4.7
This is my personal review, So the result of the product must be different on another people.

Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water

Hellooooo beauties!
             I'm super exited to write my first blog, I can’t wait to share it with you guys. So today I am going to review about Kama Ayurveda rose water.
Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water

Why Rose Water:
             1. Rose water is a natural astringent that helps in maintaining the pH level of our skin.
             2. It helps in tightening the pores and reduces oil from our skin.

What the product claims:
           “ KAMA Ayurveda Pure Rosewater is made from the roses of Kannauj, a region in North India, rich in white soil conductive to roses growth. The Kannauj rose is considered special, it has the same specifications as the Bulgarian rose.The steam water distillation process used to create this wonderful rosewater ensures a high level of hygiene and unmatched purity. Rose water is a natural astringent. It balances and restores skin's pH level and helps tighten pores. Rose water is also a good non-alcoholic toner. Kama rosewater is a good non-alcoholic refresher that helps remove the residue of the previous cleansing procedures such as removing of makeup. It refines the pores and tones the skin making it ready for moisturizing treatment. It can also be used to damp skin before applying Kama Natural Plant Mask (Lavanya) or Kama Miraculous Beauty Fluid (Kumkumadi)
Price: 27 for 50 ml and 1050 for 200 ml
Where can u buy:  Online and Kama Ayurveda stores
Shelf life: 2yrs

My experience
  The Kama Ayurveda rose water comes in a dark brown bottle with a white spray nozzle. This nozzle sprays the exact amount of mist and the cap is tight enough to prevent any damage to the pump. It is a clear liquid with the most soothing, refreshing and most rose fragrance.  About the consistency, well it feels just like water. 
           This rose water has a mild and natural fragrance of rose which is not overpowering. After cleansing my face, I pour out the toner on a cotton pad and apply it gently all over my face and neck avoiding my eye area. It has never caused any breakouts or irritation on my skin, in fact it calms down my skin.  It is travel friendly, whenever you feel exhausted u can spray the mist. The skin will feel refreshed.
           If you are applying it as Makeup setting spray do not touch your face or else, you will end up wiping off your makeup. Just wait and let it get settled in your skin.

Different ways to use:
         1. Spray it on your face to feel refreshed 
         2. Mix it with your face pack
         3. Use it as toner before you apply your makeup
Pros:
         1 It’s a multipurpose rose water
           2. Good for oily skin
           3. Skin feels refreshed
           4. Chemical free
           5. Does not irritate skin
Cons: 
         1. Cost is a bit high
Overall review:
            Yes, it’s little expensive but it’s worth. Beauties who think it is costly can go for a smaller size you will not regret.

Score: 4.8/5
