Addicted to Blush Awards 2010 - Skincare
FACE
FACE WASH:
Lakme Fruit Blast Citrus Rain: I love the tangy, citrusy smell. It cleanses without drying.
FACIAL CLEANSER
Jergens Facial Cream: Even the most waterproof mascara just melts in front of this. Deep cleans & moisturizes all at one go. I have been using this for more than a year now – this is just perfect.
FACIAL SCRUB
The Body Shop Facial Buffer - use this with any face wash & up the game by adding a touch of exfoliation
FACIAL MOISTURIZER
For Day: Neutrogena Fine Fairness Lotion with SPF 30 & PPA++: moisturizes well for a good 8 hours, but totally non greasy. The high SPF helps combat the sun.
For Night: The Body Shop Hemp Face Protector: Yes, it doesn’t smell great, but my skin loves it
FACE PACK
No winners – I didn’t get any face packs this year, and the couple that I got – not too great.
FACE TONER
My very own glycerin & water combo works very fine.
EYE CREAM
Rogan Badam Shirin: Yup, the pure almond oil. Moisturizes and lightens the under eye area & is gentle too! Worked better for me than any other cream off the shelf.
LIP BALM
Nivea Pomegrante for the day
Neutrogena for the night
HAIR
SHAMPOO
My homemade Amla – Reetha – Shikakai concoction is doing very well, thank you. I’ll be picking that over everything else in the market
CONDITIONER
Sesame oil: pre-wash treatment makes my hair dark & soft.
DEFRIZZER
Organix Coconut Milk Serum: Although I have stopped using this since I began my homemade shampoo routine, I did like this a lot.
BODY
BODY WASH
St Ives Swiss Vanilla Body lotion: I love the smell – highly refreshing
BODY SCRUB
The Body Shop Bath Gloves: I love :)
BODY LOTION
St Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter Body Lotion: Instant relief for dry, itchy skin
BODY OIL
FabIndia Seabuckthorn After bath oil: This is the only after bath oil I have tried till date, obviously since I have nothing to compare it with – I like it :P
FOOT CREAM
Didn’t try any foot cream this year – poor feet just got slathered in whatever was closeby, jergens, St ives.
NAILS & HAND CREAM
The Body Shop Cocoa Body Butter – for some reason this is awesome for the nails. Makes then super smooth & shiny.
NAIL POLISH
Jordana: is the Big 3 free & let’s me indulge :)
NAIL BUFFER
The Body Shop Nail buffer.
SUNSCREEN (Thanks for reminding Anks !)
Daily use: Neutrogena Fine Fairness Lotion SPF 30 & PPA ++
More than 30 minutes of sun exposure: Neutrogena Sheer Sun Block SPF 50+

Love Body Shop Cocoa Butter. Agree with you on Neutrogena- they've got some great stuff! BTW, I liked Body Shop's strawberry body wash, wonder if they still have it.
