MY EXPERIENCE

I have using this shampoo from the last 6 months followed by mamaearth onion hair mask. This is mild shampoo good for promoting hair growth and best part is it's paraben and cruelty free. After heavy oiling, you may require more product to get rid of oil. It  can make your hair dry, therefore conditioner is necessary. It keeps my hair fresh for 3 to 4 days, however my scalp tends to get oily. It helps to reduce hairfall and gives it a bouncy look with silky feel.

Yes, I will recommend to try this herbal shampoo atleast once. This is my 4th bottle, almost finished and I am so in love with it. It's fragrance is heavenly and it makes me fall in love with my hair.

 AROMA MAGIC LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL
 Aroma magic lavender essential oil



The consistency of the oil is neither very thick nor too runny. The oil is quite versatile. There are soo many ways to use it. I usually use it in bathing water and hair oil. I just pour 2 drops of lavender oil in my bathing water to get a feel of spa treatment. It helps in relaxing the tensed nerves and  makes me feel refreshed the whole day. I also use this oil in my hair oil. I mix 5-10 drops of lavender oil in carrier oils.

I personally prefer mixing it with coconut oil and almond oil. It is recommended not to use essential oil directly on the skin. One must always make sure to dilute it before using it. Apply 2 drops of oil on burns gently and it really helps in soothing and healing the skin. Lavender oil also helps in treating insomnia. Use few drops of lavender oil onto the bed sheets before going to sleep. It an also be used in foot soaks . Pour few drops of lavender oil in water for a relaxing foot soak. It also helps in treating headaches and nerves tension. It is advisable that it should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding ladies. It should be stored in cool and dark place away from direct sunlight.



PROS

• Easily available.
• Travel friendly packaging.
• Works well with other carrier oils.
• Lasts long.


CONS

• The scent is a bit strong when used in large quantity.

It gives a cooling effect when applied on a scalp. It feels more like water with mild fragrance. It doesn't help with retaining moisture.

PRODUCT REVIEW || MAMAEARTH ONION HAIR MASK


MAMAEARTH ONION HAIR MASK 




MAMAEARTH ONION HAIR MASK
MAMAEARTH ONION HAIR MASK


Onion hair mask 💙

As we all know about the current hype about onion oil, onion mask and other onion haircare. 

Recently I started having massive hairfall and all the possible efforts of hair treatment and hair oiling. Right in time, this onion hair mask from mamaearth started creating a lot of buzz around and I ordered it in no time.

This Onion hair mask contains bioactive like onion oil , organic bamboo vinegarrosemary oil, coconut oil, cedarwood oil...all of which are known to stimulate and improve blood circulation of the scalp thereby promoting hair growth and reduce hairfall. 


PACKAGING

This product comes in a huge tub which is suprisingly light weight and easy to travel with.


MAMAEARTH ONION HAIR MASK


The texture is buttery smooth and Oh girl! the fragrance is soo refreshing , somewhat like a mix of fresh herbs and mogra flowers. Thank god god it doesn't smell like onion because I hate it smell lol!...

My Experience


* I've used this hair mask twice a week and this has lasted me for more than a month for my mid length hair. I apply it on my wet hair and scalp. Then leave it for 15-20 min. I then wash it off with a sulphate free shampoo. 


* I was taken a back when I actually noticed lesser hairfall on my first use itself.



* As I have completed a month there was a remarkable difference in the amount of hair which have lost during hair wash and combing. 

* I didn't notice any frizz management and hair softening with this one though.

* My hairfall has definitely reduced to quite an extent but hasn't stopped. I don't think any product in the world can ever stop hairfall because it is a natural phenomena which is bound to happen respective of your sleep pattern, diet, health, exercise, stress, etc.

* Mamaearth  product are always free of paraben, silicone, mineral oil and are hypoallergic , cruelty free , plastic positive.

* Suitable for all hair types including chemical treated hair.



I think this is a decent hair mask for people suffering from hairfall issues as I've no complaints yet.

MY SKINCARE ROUTINE || SKINCARE PRODUCTS

MY SKINCARE ROUTINE AND PRODUCTS


The first step of  Skincare  Routine is to identify your skin type. Oily skin is shiny, greasy and may have big pores. Combination skin is dry in some spots (cheeks) and oily in others ( forehead, nose and chin). Dry skin is an itchy inflammation on the skin. Sensitive skin may sting, burn, or itch after you use some makeup or other products.

I've a combination skin. Spending your time outside during the day is all about dirt, sun and pollution. Here is how can take utmost care of the skin during the day with the best Skincare tips.



SKINCARE ROUTINE AND PRODUCTS

Cleanser 


Wash your face three times a day.

I wash my face thrice a day, one in the morning while having a shower, one after coming back home from work  and once in the night before sleeping. If I have an off I restrict it to twice as I have read that washing your face too many times will disrupt the natural oils produced by the face.

 I would strongly recommend the Himalayan face wash. It has made my skin soo healthy. I've used a lot of Products but this is the best when it comes to face wash.

Scrub

Exfoliates keeps pore clear , discourages clogging and is one of the ways to help diminish the appearance of dark spots left behind acne.

I don't exfoliate everyday, twice a week is just right for me. My skin can't take anything harsh, so I choose the gentle version. I use Bio papaya revitalizing tan removal scrub and it works really well with its gritty texture. I personally love the grittiness and it also make a good body scrub. It refreshes the skin while giving a clearer complexion.

Facemask

They actually work.

Yes, but make sure you are using a good quality product. I use good vibes charcoal face mask. It is suitable for all skin types and helps in removing dead skin, pore cleansing and purifying your skin. The best part of this product is that it is paraben free.

Toner


I do like using toner.

I use biotique honey water toner. The product claims to be natural but it definitely has alcohol in it . I can tell by how it feels on the skin. Some people prefer not to use alcohol on their skin . I don't have any issues with it since I think it deep cleanse my skin. Overall it's an affordable and good toner. For something alcohol free, you can try body shop toners.

Moisturizer


I use biotique morning nector moisturizer and is just working wonders on me. It doesn't feel sticky. It gives a glowing skin and it lightens the skin as well. So far I haven't faced any issues with this moisturizer. No new acne, and breakouts on my face.

Sunscream

The last and the most important step has to be a sunscream. Apply sunscream, no matter what. Make sure you don't leave your home without this essential step.  I am using Nivea sunscream with spf 30.

Hydrate yourself

Water plays an important role in skin health. Hydration is necessary for your skin to glow. I used to drink barely a litre till 2 months back but I thankfully got into a habit of continuously sipping on water at works. I drink 2.5 litres nowadays.



Diet

Your diet too plays an important role. Avoid junk , processed and oily foods. Fruits and vegetables are the best thing you can do to your body.
