NIVEA: My Go-To Skin Care Brand

I think every girl has that brand which she can trust her skin with at times when she does not have time to go through all the options she has. NIVEA has always been my Go-To brand, a brand I could trust with everything. From lip care to wiping off my make up, NIVEA hasn't disappointed me. This blog post will comprise of quick and short reviews of a few of my all-time favorite products. Carry on reading if it floats your boat.

(Left to Right)

1) NIVEA Express Hydration Primer
If you have been following up my blog for a while, you will realize that I have given a detailed review on it previously. If you haven't read it, Click here, Just like before, totally satisfied. Keeps my skin hydrated and helps my make up stay put for longer without making my skin look oily. Perfect for those who don't like to use tinted primers (like me).

2) NIVEA Firming Body Lotion
A bit of a down since I am half way through the bottle and my skin isn't any firmer than it was 2 weeks ago. However, the glycerin in the formula has helped my skin maintain its hydration level (which is not easy!). Its light in texture therefore is absorbed quite quickly by my skin and doesn't leave it sticky. And lets not forget how important it is to have a lotion that has faint fragrance which helps you stay fresh and happy.

3) NIVEA Rich Moisturizing Day Cream
One of the most important factors while choosing a day cream is for it to not only be fast-absorbing but also intensely moisturizing. Both box checked! It absorbs very quickly, therefore in the morning I don't have to waste time massaging it in my skin (that's my night cream's job). It also leaves my skin hydrated and soft, which is a result of the Almond Oil in the formula.
The one that I am currently using is for dry and sensitive skin and also has an SPF 15. With my skin tone, that's the average amount of SPF I need and therefore is perfect for those sunny days!

4) NIVEA Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes
It is one of those things that we all need on our dressing tables and our hand bags. Handy with make-up and all sorts. With most wipes there comes a sort of dryness and uneasiness on your skin after removing makeup. However, with NIVEA Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes I have a balanced skin even after removing my make-up. They are very lightly scented and therefore, doesn't damage your skin.

5) NIVEA Refreshing Facial Wash Gel
This is probably my 3rd tube in a row; and I never use a product again in a row. This product keeps my skin clean without drying it out. I have noticed a better balance of oil in my skin, which is quite important for a healthier skin. My naked face has gotten rid of acne and spots and is moving towards no marks and scars. I am sure that there are other things that I use playing a part, but the introduction of this particular face wash to my skin care regime has definitely helped me have a better and healthier looking skin.

6) NIVEA pure & natural Cleansing Toner
This is a comparatively new product to my list. I have only been using it for about 3 weeks on a daily basis.The Argon Oil and Aloe Vera definitely has worked hand in hand with the facial wash to help cleanse and maintain my skin balance. I feel a healthy glow emerging on my skin, which definitely makes me want to flaunt my naked facial skin even more.

A drug store, affordable and one of the oldest skin care brands NIVEA definitely works for me in ways that I have not yet experienced with any other brand. This was an honest opinion on a few of their products that i have personally used. Do let me know what you think, and if there is any particular brand that catches your attention.

That is it for this week's blog post.

Have an amazing week ahead :)

5 Things To-Do With No Internet

I was caught in one of the most unfortunate situations of this century. My house internet was disconnected due to some ’essential maintenance’ for a week! On top of that, I had nothing fun planned for those seven days. So I had to find something not only fun, but also time consuming to fill up my time. Since ‘No-internet’ equals’ modern day patience test, I wouldn't want you to go through it without any help! Here are the five things that kept me happy. :) 

1)      Dig out DVDs

I did a major dig-up and got out old Disney and classic movies, wedding and birthday recordings, high school tapes and even some old school tom and jerry.  Let me just say that this proved to be my major source of entertainment since TVD and The Originals are no longer on TV! Dig up or go to an old DVD store and get whatever floats your boat.

2)      Blank or Blank

Bake or Paint, Skate or Sketch, Clean or Sleep; again whichever pair floats your boat. I did do a lot of baking and painting (expect some recipes ;) ). But what do you like doing is what should some up your pair. After a week of baking and painting I feel like doing more of it, so it might even inspire you to do more of something you like.

3)      Get cleaning!

You know that mess under your bed, the mess in your closet, and the handbag you wanted to clean up; you have the time now. I successfully gave my closet a new look!

4)      Go out and explore

There is always a cool alley that we wish we could stop by and explore, or the little park by your friend’s house, and there is always a new store open in your town. Go out and have a look. This is time when you can explore and see what’s new out there. May be dust up your camera and take a few pictures around. It’s always fun!

5)      Workout

You have been planning to start working out more often. May be now is the perfect time to actually START. You don’t have to do much; maybe a run in your local park or half an hour of yoga of meditation; again, whatever floats your boat.

Comment down below if you have ever faced a problem similar to mine; and if so, what did you do to fill the time gap.

That is it for this week's blog post.

Have an amazing week ahead :)
