Sunburnt ? Try the Clinique After Sun Rescue Balm with Aloe
The Spring break might be over, but the tanning season has just begun ! If you're not careful you could easily end up getting sunburnt ! The latest victim to the merciless rays of the Sun God was Kim Kardashian. Poor thing got Kim-burnt. Ouch !
Tanning is best avoided unless it is done safe with tanning sprays and lotions. But if you're a sun worshiper then always remember to use sunscreen before you lay down by the pool. If you still get burnt, then its probably best to avoid the sun.
To soothe your burns try the Clinique After Sun Rescue Balm ($20). Apply it all over the sun burnt area to help calm the skin. Aloe has always been known to have soothing effect on our skin. The cool gel takes care of the irritated skin and reduces the burning sensation. Additionally the product also contains Micrococcus Lysate, which helps repair free radical damage caused by the potent rays of the sun. I never go tanning, so I've been using this as a cooling face mask after a run out in the sun. It helps pump back moisture in to my dehydrated face. Even 30 mins out in partial sun, get me all irritated(I get this from my mom). So I always keep some cooling product in the fridge to calm me, more than my skin ;)
Other things you can do , to help with sun burnt skin is to apply chilled yogurt, tomato/ cucumber slices, ground mint leave. These are naturally cooling agents that might give you some much wanted relief. Big thanks to lovely reader Mugdha for the suggestions. What other ideas do you have for calming sun burnt skin. Is there something special that you do ?
Kim, if you're reading, you might wanna try this out. Hope it helps , girl !
Love,

Micrococcus lysate is an extract of powerful enzymes.The extract comes from the organism Micrococcus luteus,which is one of the most UV-resistance organisms known to science. Scientific studies have shown that enzymes from this organism are able to support against UV light.Micrococcus lysate is a natural way to assist the skin against the effects of the sun.

Karma Organics - Organic Nail Polish Remover
Good Morning Ladies ! Its Friday !! Time to start looking forward to two days of pure laziness ! Are you with me on that ?? It has been raining out here, all morning and I absolutely love the rains. Brings back happy memories when our whole family used to cuddle up and munch on hot savories ! Well no hot savories this morning, but all the green outside my window does have me feeling very organic. Hence the post on The Organic Nail Polish Remover from Karma Organic Spa.
Karma Organic Spa was started by Nausil Zaheer in 2007. Having worked as a Celebrity Manicurist for several years, she was sick of the stink of acetone that followed her everywhere. Soon, she started work on developing her own line of non- toxic, organic nail products and spa. Nausil's Organic, Non Toxic Spa is located in Ridgewood, New Jersey. The line now carries the organic nail polish remover and over 80 shades of nail polish.
I recently tried out their Organic Nail Polish Remover. The remover comes in three scents - Lavender, Tea Tree & Unscented. I tried the unscented one. Removing nail polish is often a slightly painful process for me, given my super sensitive cuticles. All the brands I've tried till date left my cuticles burning a little bit. This is another reason I never swatch nail polish on my right hand because the cuticles hurt when I'm taking it off. No its not unbearable , but is a little uncomfortable. The Organic Nail Polish Remover completely changed this for me. It takes off the nail polish very efficiently without evoking any reaction from my cuticles. It feels like rubbing oil on my nails. So gentle yet super effective. Plus it feels good, that I'm not using any chemicals on my nails. I remember as a teenager, every time I go out a bottle of nail polish, my mom would remind me of all the chemicals I'm putting on myself. With this, I wont have to worry about that and she wont be able to detect a thing coz it does not carry the heavy smell of regular nail polish removers !
Gotto love this. Gotto get this ! The Karma Organic Spa, Organic Nail Polish Remover retails for $9.99. Read more here
