Product review #2 - Biotique Red Sandalwood sunscreen

I've been using this for a while and I must say, it's good! Biotique is an Indian beauty product company specializing in herbal products made with actual herbs rather than chemically synthesized ingredients. What I can honestly way about this product is that, it is a good sunscreen and also serves as a moisturizer. It's safe to use with complicated result inducing products like Retin-A. It did require a breaking in, the first two or three days were rather greasy and could lead to small bumps. That's barely noticeable and passed fairly quickly. I recommend this for anyone with oily or sensitive skin as it doesn't worsen the condition and lead to massive break outs. It also works remarkably well as a sun protectant.

The verdict - It's great, I'll be using this for a very long time!

Product review #1 - Olay quench body lotion

I had the chance to try out a new body lotion to end my dry skin problems. I got Olay Quench-lavender body lotion and has been using it for a while. It's actually great as its got these little bits of shimmer particles, a pleasant smell and really seems to help with my dry skin issues. The great thing about this lotion is the fact that it doesn't get absorbed in tot eh skin too fast and dry out completely within minutes. It gives a nice shimmer that is all over the runway and keeps skin hydrated. Though I've read reviews about this being a non-greasy formula, I have to disagree on that. I can't quite describe the feel, it's not entirely sticky and oily but rather a feeling of having a layer of lotion on my skin. perhaps that's my own understanding of hydration.

The verdict - It's good, really good, I will definitely stock up on that. Perfect to use in the summer because of the shimmery bits.
