Save Your Skin with Saturday Skin care- with Luscious Whitening Base with SPF 35- Review

Its Saturday.. meaning ?? its skincare Saturday.

I will review skin care products every Saturday. And Once my internet is back i will place a link on the side column for reader's ease.Please let me know if there anything specific you want to be featured on Glossicious.

Today i will reviewing  Luscious Whitening Base with SPF 35, this review was long overdue.

Luscious Whitening Base SPF 35

What it is:  Sun damage has become a big part of our lives due to pollution and the environment. No matter what your age is, you are at risk of sun damage (dark patches and uneven skin tone) every time you step out without a good sun block. Here to the rescue is Luscious Whitening Base SPF 35. All in One: • Oil-free Moisturiser, • High performance Sun Protection • Makeup Primer

 

I was quite tempted to try this little beauty as It contains the moisturizers and also acts as a good make up base.In past i was a regular user of Olay  natural white beauty fluid , I liked it until i started to get white heads, and it used to get quite runny in summers. So i started using Luscious Whitening Base this summer , reason was its SPF properties.When i applied it ,my skin absorbed it really well without feeling greasy or still feeling dry. the whitening effect, i believe does a pretty good job. subtle. My face has a sensitive skin, if a cosmetic I use is not suitable with my skin, in a few hours the pimples/ redness will appear in my face.Therefore, I continue using it until now, especially when I am outside the house in the afternoon.
I like how it makes my skin look radiant-lightened my skin tone by a few tones overall. It keeps my face shine-free during the day while the sun protection benefits are also evident.When i use it for the primer purposes , I blend this in carefully and give it a few seconds to settle before applying foundation. Overall, a great product and my experience with luscious range has not disappointed me so far.
Texture: Its thick creamy , smooth and easy to apply and blend. 
Price: rs 745
Packaging: Very cute, small and easy to carry around in my bag

Places to Buy: Luscious website  with free nation wide delivery ,and Available at some stores/ Malls nationwide in some selected cities

I would highly recommend this product to any one who is looking for a product which has endless benefits

Over all This gloss  is very nice in texture and consistency, not too sticky, staying power is good enough for me. So yes ! Its love at first side for me. Beige Pink and Me are meant to be together and i wont leave this small , pretty tube until i use it every single drop of gloss.

Skincare for this hot, hot summer!

Summer is the season when you have to take special care of your skin.The changes in the weather and weather conditions makes it essential to modify and adjust skin care techniques so as to fittingly combat the varying climates. Make sure pamper your skin.All you have to do to love your skin is keep it healthy. Look after it and love it

(Wow, Lindsay barely looks 40 in this pic I wonder what kind of skin care routine she follows? Ohhh, tell us Lindsay! Share your secrets!)

Here are some ways to arm your skin against the harsh summer sun. Hydration is the key to healthy skin. So do not forget to stock up on water and aqua rich foodstuff such as fresh foods and vegetables. External hydration is also essential. Remember to moisturise your skin after taking a shower at least once a day if your skin is oily and thrice a day if you suffer from dry skin. Exfoliate your skin using a mild, deep facial cleanser to keep your skin smooth and clean.

Try avoiding skin exposure to the sun when it is the most powerful from 11am to 4 pm.

Do not use hot water on your skin when bathing or washing. It is advisable to go for gentle skin services like microdermabrasion or glycolic facials under medical supervision. Try to use minimal makeup because some fragrance and products can induce sunburn especially when the skin is exposed to the sun.[Source]Keep skin nourished with an herbal moisturizer your. Ayurvedic formulations that sandalwood, turmeric, Brahmi, Amla and Aloe Vera are the skin-friendly herbs look for. At least once a week, do yourself a fruit or vegetable mask appropriate to treat your skin type. Cucumbers, avocados, apricots and papayas lend themselves well to homemade masks. Puree fruit or vegetable and some yogurt, honey, oatmeal and lemon juice for oily skin (with a mixture) or rosewater (for dry skin) and apply evenly to face. Let stay for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with warm water [source]
