How I Dealt With My Lip Allergy...

Quite recently, I developed a non-understandable allergy on my upper lip area and I was all confused what it was and how did it arrive at my door step!

 It was almost like a rash cum spot cum faded skin-thingy that appeared on my lip one day.

 I tried all the googling and tried all the home-remedies. Stopped looking at my MAC lipsticks for once, kept all make up aside for a week - only to realize it is something that I have stored on my head - yes beautiful snowy almost innocent dandruff (lovingly, (with despair), called - Ms. Dandy!)

 I realized it was time to visit the dermatologist for my lip condition. And what she says - Yep! Ms. Dandy has invited a friend in your lip area... It was not all dandruff that resulted in that lip rash but also my undying habit of smacking my lips, worsened the situation.

 Now Ms. Dandy lived with me always, My mum described how I was born with a flakey head. With time, it all reduced but off-late because of some change in probably weather, probably travel, probably pollution, probably lifestyle etc. it got triggered once again and decided to slither down to my lips. 

 Well to how I dealt with it...

My entire facial skin was scanned and I was told something triggered, with long standing dandruff and smacking of my lips, so I was given some antibiotics to deal with my internal system if it is triggering the allergy, which I had to take for once a week for four weeks and then I was told to use the following products in addition, which worked beautifully.
L-R Bioderma Node DS+ Shampoo, Diprovate Lotion, Noreva Senidiane Micellar water, Uriage Bariderm Levres lip balm, Nadoxin C cream - for face, Tenovate M cream for lips)

 *Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo - for dandruff - every wash primarily for scalp (can read here)
*Diprovate Hair Lotion - prior to shampooing - for dandruff - 15 mins prior to every wash for 20 days
*Uriage Bariederm Levres lip balm - every time before use of any lip product (can read here)
*Sensidiene Micellar Water - twice a day before application of below products
*Medicinal lip cream - Tenovate M
*Medicinal face cream - Nadoxin C

 Well, it took about 4 full days for these products and medication to work and solve my allergy. I still stay away from any matte lip product, just in case, as I don't want to disturb the treatment. 

 Since most are for solving some particular allergy, few products from these can be used for other times as well like the Sensidiene Micellar Water, Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo (incase if you have mild to worse dandruff problem) and I totally recommend the Uriage Bariederm Levres lip balm for regular usage.

 Disclaimer:
Avoid using any of the medication mentioned in this blog unless and until it has been prescribed to you by a medical professional, almost all skin issues are different and what worked for me may not work for you and vice-versa. Recommendations are based on my personal usage of the product.

Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum Review

I have always liked a good Lotus product every now and then. Sometime during the start of winters I decided to include serums in my skincare routine, now a dry skin baby like me needs to think a couple of times before adding something new to my skincare routine so as to not further dry my skin and that too in winters. I started using the  Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum from December last year and I was using it on alternate days and night, as I do not believe using something new regularly just to see how my skin is reacting in the first few days. I picked this product from the Nykaa winter sale and managed to get a good discount as well. The MRP is INR 545 for 30ml and usually you do end up getting discount of 20-25% on Nykaa. Though, it is not a super pricey product, discounts always help while purchasing a "never tried before" product. I was waiting to use it for a month or so, before I could share my two cents on it. Now abou...

Things I Am Loving Lately...

Google Image Since, it is a month of love and things related to love, I thought why not throw in a post about things I've been loving lately... Well, I know the whole buzz about Valentines' Day and all the days preceding to it are not so much related about loving "things", so much as loving a person or people or even yourself. But, I am no expert on the subject to write anything lovey-dovey, so I will do what I think I know best, talk about things I have loved recently. Reading I won't classify myself to be a voracious reader or anything close to that, but every now and then, I enjoy a good book. Reading is a great way to realize how simple life can be, without all the complexities of the wifi and social media. I read a book by Sudha Murty - Wise And Otherwise, it was a good start to begin my reading game again, as it is a compilation of 51 short stories, mostly based on her experience and observations about day to day life. I am currently readin...

VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product   a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage.  About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightl...
