Hello friends!! well there is always  few certain things we carry in our bags all time. Whether it is a sunscreen or a pain relief  cream..Well today I will tell you 5 products which is must in everyone’s house or bag...I keep these all the time...


 Ooops my cell phone you must be wondering why..well its my 2nd luv and so its in kind of 'must list' too.. ;)
I use all the products religiously, the city life keeps us giving surprises all the time..for example now dandruff problem is not restricted to only winters, now it’s on your head all the time.. for example if its summer it will be oily scalp dandruff, if it’s a winter then it will be dry scalp dandruff and here is the curse.. Rainy season mother of all skin and hair problems...
Well I am using all products from pretty long time and I was so impressed that I decided  to share with you all.

So should we start...

1. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock - SPF 50:
My skin is very sensitive and even a slight variation in sun rays causes Tanning....I did a lot of research before selecting this and believe me it didn't let me down....Neutrogena offers 3 sunblocks in India Ultra sheer SPF 50+ (88ml), Ultra sheer body mist SPF 30 and Age shield Sunblock. Since I stay out in home for many hours I chose Ultra Sheer SPF 50+ sunblock for me. I believe sunblocks are more effective than sunscreens, that’s why I chose this Neutrogena sunblock

What it is actually
It is sunblock. It is opaque, it makes a barrier to the skin and is able to Block majority of the UVA/UVB rays and radiation from the sun, thus there’s no need to reapply it every hour. Though you may need to reapply after every 3-4hours.
This product ( Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry touch sunblock SPF 50+(PA +++) claims  that it is a breakthrough in sun protection. Stabilized with Helioplexâ,¢ , it provides superior balanced broad spectrum protection against skin aging UVA and burning UVB rays and combines it with Dry Touch Technology for an ultra light, non shiny finish. This light weight sun block has a light fresh scent and is gentle enough even for sensitive skin.

LOOK & PACKAGING
Comes in a well packed box, easy to open and apply.


SMELL
It has amazing unique soft smell, I completely love it..

PERFORMANCE
After applying this light lotion like sunblock, I don't feel heavy. It is light in texture, absorbs effortlessly and truly gives a dry touch to my skin.
It doesn't give greasy feeling or any kind-a whitish cast to my oily skin.I didnt felt any burning sensation / tanning after spending hours under sun with this sunblock on my skin. I completely love it and it has become my HG sunblock now..I tried testing by using for a month on my hands and see below,




(hardly any changes between the covered ring area and rest of my hand. Amazing right!!)

Rs 499/- for 88ml, But I brought in just 399 (buy from here)

Ketomac  Dandruff  Trestment Shampoo: I have very long hair and I was pissed off from dandruff, itching and scaling problems. I tried every possible. I even tried using Head and Shoulder, but it proved back wrong horse.
So, I was in search of a better performing anti dandruff shampoo which I got in the form of Ketoma c from the makers of Torex.  My root mate suggested me this. I owe her one..


LOOK & PACKAGING
I use 110 ml.pack. The look is quite good. It has Flip open option and full lid open option. This feature enables it to use even the last drop of the shampoo . One more feature is the Transparent look of the bottle. It makes it easy to monitor the shampoo use. The shampoo releasing hole is perfectly done as pouring the shampoo  seems very easy.





SMELL
It has smell of lemons, I tried getting rid of that smell by using conditioner but it didn’t help. Some people might find it pleasing. Colour looks like the light pinkish brown.

PERFORMANCE
When it comes to performance, it’s a start performer.. You can blindly use it..It may leave your hair a bit rough, be ready for that. But since I was so upset from my dandruff problem that I was ready for it and some of my colleagues too..they keep thanking me for this product :)
I use every alternate days as I have hell like oily scalp but if you wish you can use it twice a week and you do not have to worry about flaking, scaling and itching.
Initially I used this Every alternate days for almost one month and my dandruff problem was over. Now I use only once a week and there is no recurrence of the dandruff. Also, I feel that I applied a mild level conditioner after the application and I apply the hair oil next day only.
It`s been four months and I am a super satisfied customer.

Amount
110 ml

Price
160-162 (varies how regular customer you are of your nearest store)

Directions Of Use
Apply to scalp, wet hair and left for 5 minutes before rinsing. After the scalp has cleared up, once a week application of KETOMAC Shampoo inhibits the reoccurrence of dandruff.

Supamove Pain Relief cream:
Dr Reddy’s Laboratories has unveiled Supamove cream used for treating pain and inflammation in India. The cream helps in reducing pain and inflammation in patients with joint pain, arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis and lower back pain.
                                                                Last month I got myself hurt while doing plank pose n yoga class and my shoulder  was killing me for whole 2 weeks, I applied every possible cream, eat every possible  pills but there were no result. Then one day when I was discussing about my killing pain in yoga class one of class - friend suggested me to use this product and gave me this... I applied it just once and BINGO * my pain was gone, I suggested this to my other friends and they also used it and now they owe me one..
Well this product reduces your every pain and if it doesn’t then my  friends you are having some serious business and you should go and consult doctor.

LOOK & PACKAGING
I use 30gm pack. The look is like other similar pain relief gels.



SMELL
The smell is same like other pain relief gels. The sensation and the gel form further reinforced this perception. I have a perception that gel is more powerful than ointment.

When it comes to performance, its a double star performer. Once you will use it yourself you will realize how effective it is.
It`s been 2 months and I am a satisfied customer.

Amount 30gml

Figaro Olive Oil Tin (500 ml)

I bought this product, Figaro extra virgin olive oil and I am currently using it. It can be applied to hair as well as skin. After bath, you will end up with a smooth and glossy shiny hair. Really worthy product!! You can mix it even with your henna pack to apply. It is a well-known Spanish product. Apply this oil before bathing and after taking a bath, you will fell your skin has become softer, moisturized and non-stretchy. Apply to your hair 30 minutes before shampooing to make your hair shinier and manageable that is silkier. Olive oil's benefits are known to us all and this is a must buy. It will give your body a lovely glow and will moisturize your body heavily. The smell is also very faint which is a pro for me.
But some of us hardly know that olive oil can be used for lighting the stretch marks. Applying olive oil on your stretch marks can lighten it to a commendable extent


LOOK & PACKAGING
Comes in a well packed box, easy to open and apply. It has full lid open option. So once you have opened it then there is no way you can close it. You can only close by clogging the mouth of bottle by some other means. I hate its packaging style. So once you open it you can store it in other safe bottles like I do.



SMELL
It has unique smell, but it doesn’t have any specific taste. It tastes like normal oil but given extra benefits..

PERFORMANCE
As I said I use it in all ways, as I have oily scalp so I don’t use as hair oil but yes I use the maximum part of it in food. It has also proven to be amazing diet controller, stretch marks lighter and so on... so looking all benefits one can't say no to this product

Amount Rs 590/- for 500ml (196 gm)

Directions for Use
Apply liberally on face and body 15 – 30 minutes before Bath or face wash. For stretch marks you can use it before bed time like normal oil massage.
And for food you can use it as you use other oils for cooking (you may decide yourself the amount you want to keep)
Composition
Olives (Obvious)

Rating
5/5

Would you purchase again?: Hell yes, It’s an amazing product and Multipurpose product.

Face and Body Cleansing Scrub Gel
Few weeks back my mother visited me and she gave me this product, honestly I doubted but once I applied it came out as amazing face cleanser. You know we people keep using so many face washes, soaps, etc but have we ever seen dust coming out of our face with our naked eyes..NO..well when I use this product the whole weeks of garbage which was dumped on face slipped over my palm and I saw the dust literally coming out (Can’t show you pictures guys, you may feel pukish) ;). It’s an awesome product. It doesn’t give foam.

LOOK & PACKAGING
Comes in a well packed tube like other normal face wash. It has simple design just like the product, easy to open and apply. It has full lid open option.




SMELL
It has bad smell, the cover of packaging says it has strawberry fragrance but I will say it smells more like a plastic bag. But who cares when it performs well.
It’s a thick transparent liquid but doesn't give any foam.
Amount: Rs 80 for 100ml

Directions for Use
Take out a big portion and apply liberally on face, rub it until you see dust coming out and wash your face with water.

The best part is that you can use if for body cleansing also... 

Composition
Strawberry essence, Vit E,C,D,B12

5/5 (Value of money)
