ICynosure

Over the years, my skincare regime has been a simple CTM routine with my trusted brand products that are organic, natural and cruelty-free. However, difficult times call for extreme measure and this lockdown has proved to be one of those times. Though overall my skin health is pretty good, recently I had next-to-no time for my skincare, with all the added responsibilities and work at home during the lockdown. 

Last month I noticed some pigmentation and dehydration patches on my face, so I had to go beyond the regular skincare routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing and opt for a unique product - the Fasderma Glow Peel. 

Fasderma Glow Peel Review - https://www.iCynosure,in

I usually stay away from facial peels, for the fear of skin deterioration due to the pulling and tugging, but a close friend recommended it and I ordered Fasderma Glow Peel in 15ml to give it a shot. The product claims not only skin rejuvenation over time but also instant skin glow. 

So after a quick patch test on my arm, I decided to try it. I started with the basic cleansing my face with a normal face wash after which I applied a protective cream on the sensitive areas around the eyes, nose and lips. Finally, I squeezed out a small amount of the product onto your fingertips and applied a thin even layer on my face and neck. After about 15 minutes I neutralized the peel using water and washed it off. I soothed my tender skin with an aloe-based moisturizer and completed it with an SPF 30 Sunscreen. 

The entire peel took about 25 minutes to complete, and though I felt a little tingling sensation, it was bearable and not very unpleasant. But in case if the product feels unbearable or unpleasant, it is advised to rinse off immediately with cold water, run ice on the face and apply a soothing cream immediately. I used the product once every week for almost a month now, and so I can tell you exactly what I think about the Fasderma Glow Peel.

Well firstly, I will now definitely order the Fasderma 60ml bottle. The next thing is that regular use has helped with skin tightening as well as skin brightening. Since the skin is super smooth now, it is easier to maintain, as regular skincare products are absorbed better and makeup blends in better. Of course, the skin may feel a bit dry, which in my opinion is normal after any face care treatment, and so be generous with your moisturizers and day-night lotions. Also, since the skin is rawer, it is imperative to use sunscreen after using the peel whether you are heading outside or are cooped up indoors. 

Last but not the least, the price point may look discouraging to a few, but remember that it is better to use one product that gives you the skin you want to be in, rather than dump numerous products on your skin and not achieve the desired results. All in all, Fasderma Glow Peel is nothing short of a Celebrity Skin Secret Formula that you must try for a healthy and glowing face, so click here to buy right away.

Until next time,

5 Ways To Manage The Period - www.iCynosure.in

2000’s is a good time to be a girl. You can do almost anything your heart desires. It is also a time you can talk freely about topics that were taboo a decade ago, like ‘the period’. Everyone is now not only openly talking about menstruation but also demanding reforms with regards to feminine hygiene products and services.

It is indeed revolutionary to see these changes and help each other deal with and manage ‘those days’ to live a healthier life. Women have used alternative methods of menstrual management to cope with periods, some which are easy and convenient for everyone, while some are more discreet and less wasteful. Here are 5 ways to manage your period:

5 Ways To Manage The Period - www.iCynosure.in

Sanitary Napkins
Sanitary Napkins are the most tried, tested and used option to manage periods. Different pads are available for different absorbency needs, suitability, comfort and accessibility. Today there are numerous options available, however I recommend the everteen® Neem & Safflower Pads for heavy flow days and the everteen® Skin Thin Pads for light flow days. The cotton sanitary pads are perfect for quick absorption, ventilation, and they prevent odour and restore the vaginal pH balance.

Tampons
Tampons are the most discreet way to manage periods. Girls prefer tampons as the little plugs fit inside the intimate area absorbing the blood making them cleaner and less messy. The everteen® Applicator Tampons are perfect especially for active lifestyles, that adjust perfectly to your shape, giving superior leak protection. The best part is that you can wear clothes of your choice even during periods without any embarrassment or pad lines showing up.

Menstrual Cups
Menstrual Cups are the safest, easiest and healthiest way to manage periods. Girls prefer this more innovative, modern yet discreet and eco-friendly alternative to make life simpler while picking a sustainable and cost-effective option.

Period Sponge
Period Sponges are similar to tampons, but a more flexible way to manage periods. Girls opt for period sponges as they are not only more easier to use but also reusable for upto a year. However, sponges can get a bit messy while taking off.

Period Underwear
Period Underwear is the newest way to manage periods. Girls trial with period underwear as it is designed similar to regular underwear with a built-in blood collecting layer. There are two types of period underwear - one that can be washed like regular underwear and reused while the other is a disposable one that is perfect for one-time use.

So in a nut-shell managing your period can be a different experience for us all. Since there are multiple options available, you can better customise the solution keeping in mind what’s most important for you - convenience, comfort, price, and more. And always remember that your period is a sign your body is working healthily and just as it should.

Do let me know in the comments which according to you is the best product to manage your period.

Which Intimate Care Product is Right for You? - www.iCynosure.in

Every woman is different and so are her intimate care needs. The formula one-product-fits-all doesn’t hold true when it comes to intimate care; and so it is really important to understand your needs and pick a product that suits your lifestyle.

I’ve found these two products, and I use them both as and when the situation demands. And what should you pink? Well there is no magic quiz that you can take to know what will work for you, but I suggest you give each of the two products a try and then work out on what makes your intimate area healthy and happy. And it is quite possible that just like me, both these products will be right for you too.

Intimate Wet Wipes
Intimate Hygiene Wipes provide relief from intimate discomfort while keeping the area fresh and clean. I've used and highly recommend the everteen® Intimate Hygiene Wipes that are made of 100% natural and biodegradable cloth, natural plant extracts and water making them clinically and dermatologically safe and approved. The mild formula is entirely free from alcohol, SLS & parabens and each wipe is wrapped individually for convenience.

Intimate Foam Wash 
Intimate Washes are specifically designed to help maintain the pH balance of the intimate area. I've used and highly recommend the everteen® Natural Intimate Wash that help prevent unpleasant odour, vaginal itching, dryness and skin irritation and protect natural pH flora. The product is available in two variants - for Moms with Witch Hazel extracts and for Teens with Yogurt.

Although these two are just a simple way  to achieve  better intimate care, they are a good start. As you understand your body better, bring in more products to care for  your intimate area.

This I love playing games, and this lockdown has heightened my online gaming to a really different level. Though I’ve never explored online casino games before as I thought it was illegal in India, but I’ve got to know that there is no ban on international sites. Numerous sites offer online casino games, including slot machines, blackjack, roulette and poker; while some offer the classical arcade games too.

The scope of games in the online world is limitless with a host of choices that are available 24/7, 365 days a year, where one doesn’t have to wait for a seat, make smaller stakes by making a deposit to play. It’s also a standard practice for online casinos to offer casino bonuses when a player signs up int he range of 40-200% of the deposit amount. Bonuses are incentives provided and can be in numerous forms such as free spins, on-site cash or gifts.


To know more visit source https://www.indiacasinos.com/bonuses.

As I set out to explore the world of online casinos, here are three of my favourites games I love to play whether at a Diwali party or in a brick-and-motor casino in Goa or on an online portal:

3 Card Poker
The most simple card game is poker, where you have to use three cards to make a hand. Once the cards are dealt, players compete against the dealer to see who has the best 3-card poker hand. Bet depending upon the cards, especially if one has a Straight Flush or Three of a Kind.

Blackjack
The most popular card game is blackjack, where you have to use the face value of cards to add up to 21 or as close without going over. Once the cards (2) are dealt, the player can either ‘Hit' to ask for another card or ‘Stand’ to hold your total and play. Many Blackjack variations are currently played to add even more fun and intrigue to the game.

Baccarat
The most fun card game in baccarat, popularised in James Bond movies, where the dealer deals cards (2) face up, two each for the player and banker and whichever hand totals closest to nine wins. The player can bet depending on the first cards that are dealt.

I play these games regularly with my family at home, but I’ve now upgraded to play these online, to discover a new form of entertainment. However one must remember that playing online casino games can be addictive and it is important to keep the playing habits in check.

Also if you are interested in exploring online games, check the local Indian laws and regulation before spending time and money, playing. And remember no one will always win, however the fun is in the playing.

Proper hygiene is extremely important for a woman’s health, and more so ever of the intimate areas. Having said this it is also important to understand that intimate hygiene is different from regular hygiene and we should adopt some dos and don’ts to ensure that the intimate area is well-maintained.

So what really is intimate hygiene? The intimate areas have an acidic pH value that is more acidic than the rest of the body, which makes it self-cleansing. When proper intimate hygiene is followed, the pH balance is maintained and you will have a healthy and happy intimate area. Just like menstruation, intimate hygiene is an equally taboo subject and very few women speak about it or offer tips. However, here is a ready reckoner to know everything you need to know about intimate hygiene:

Use Clean and Dry Undergarments
Wet and dirty undergarments can not only lead to bad odour but also infections. So no matter what age you are, the very basic requirement for intimate hygiene is to use clean and dry undergarments.

Maintain Period Hygiene
Women who have normal blood flow should change the period product they use every four-six hours. The same rule should apply to the days when you have a light blood flow. Additionally it is important to wash the intimate area after every toilet visit.

Clean with Intimate Wash
It is advisable to use products specifically made for delicate areas to clean your intimate areas to ensure not upsetting the pH balance. Products such as everteen® Natural Intimate Wash are actually developed specifically for your intimate area, that help prevent  unpleasant odour, vaginal itching and irritation and protect natural pH flora. The product is available in four variants -  you can opt for either the everteen® Natural Intimate Foam Wash or everteen® Natural Intimate Wash; else go for a specific product like everteen® Natural Intimate Wash for Moms with Witch Hazel extracts or  everteen® Natural Intimate Wash for Teens with Yogurt.

Avoid Tight Clothes
Wearing synthetic fabrics in fitted silhouettes can cause a lot of sweating due to reduced air circulation leading to growth of bacteria, years, etc. So it is advisable to use breathable fabrics that allow air circulation as well as sweat absorption.

See The Gynaecologist
Apart from regular care, having regular gynaecological checks is crucial to maintain your intimate hygiene and health. It is also crucial to undergo a Pap Smear every few years to screen for changes in the cells that may cause harm.

This is what I follow to maintain my lifestyle, I urge you to share these tips with all your friends for an overall healthy and well intimate area.

I’ve been so hooked onto Over The Top (OTT) platforms that I needed to top up my internet subscription plan to cater to my every day growing entertainment needs. Yes, I’m one of the 432 million video viewers in India that have turned to good old entertainment to navigate through the tough waters of the COVID19 lockdown.

Image source: ZEE5.com

Yesterday while flipping through the platforms on Alexa, I chanced upon the trailer of the to be launched short film, Chintu Ka Birthday on ZEE5. The film stars Vedant Raj Chibber as Chintu Tiwary, Vinay Pathak as Chintu's father - Madan Tiwary, Tillotama Shome as Chintu's Mother - Sudha Tiwary, Bisha Chaturvedi as Chintu's Sister - Laxmi Tiwary, and Seema Pahwa as Chintu's grandmother.

My very first reaction to the start of the trailer was, which child wouldn’t love an amazing birthday party until when the trailer progressed to an unexpected disruption by two American soldiers at the onset of Chintu’s birthday party. And that wouldn’t be a surprise as the film is set inside a war-torn Iraq, where during the US invasion of Iraq some illegal migrants are awaiting help to return home to India. In such a scenario, one family, the Tiwarys, are preparing to celebrate the birthday of their younger child Chintu.

The two and a half minute film trailer shows how a normal family goes from managing the everyday mundane to preparing for a birthday celebration to finally being locked down for being insurgents. The trailer of the film, ‘Chintu ka Birthday’ comes alive in every little scene, and creates parts of this 80-minute film in the viewers mind. The narrative is a simple depiction of a generous and life-affirming tale of an ordinary family in an extraordinary situation.

Image source: ZEE5.com

Three things that stood out for me after watching the trailer are:

The Plot
Chintu ka Birthday is based on the plight of Indian migrants during the US invasion of Iraq. Though there are a few films on this particular topic, the plot based on how a regular family struggles to do simple things during a direct conflict isn’t. And this is what makes me curious about the film.

The Performances
Chintu Ka Birthday stars Vinay Pathak and Tillotama Shome, do I need to say more? However, the kid Vedant Chibber looks promising.

The Direction
Chintu Ka Birthday has been directed by writer-director duo Devanshu Kumar and Satyanshu Singh. The duo has focused on the story and hence the narrative will be seamless. And as they rightly said in a statement, “Although the film is set in Iraq in 2004, the present situation, where we are locked down in our houses with our families is no different. We have to live in the moment, love each other and keep faith that this too shall pass."

I don’t need another reason to tune in to watch Chintu Ka Birthday that is going to be exclusively streamed on ZEE5 from June 5, 2020, but if you need another reason, the film is a winner of the Viewer’s Choice Award at the recently concluded Jagran Film Festival.

Go watch!

All You Need To Know About Panty Liners - https://www.icynosure.in/

Panty Liners are akin to sanitary napkins but only thinner, lighter and relatively smaller. The tiny version works the same way but is not to soak menstruation or period blood, but to combat vaginal discharge.

Panty Liners should be used:
» a day or two before and after your period
» with a menstrual cup to avoid any accidents
» when you feel moist while working out or travelling

Panty Liners should not be used:
» while sleeping, especially long hours
» for your period, especially during heavy flow

Panty Liners should be used to:
» to maintain good intimate hygiene, especially you have regular vaginal discharge
» to arrest light incontinence, especially during pregnancy or if you have stress
» to manage postpartum flow, especially if it continues for beyond a fortnight post-delivery
» to protect during the pre-period days, especially if you have an irregular cycle

Panty Liners features to look for:
» made of natural material and are biodegradable
» contain no harmful synthetics or chemicals
» breathable layers help keep moisture away
» ultra-thin and extra absorbent for freshness

All You Need To Know About Panty Liners - https://www.icynosure.in/

I’m using everteen® 100% Natural Cotton Daily Panty Liners for my intimate hygiene and to combat the vaginal discharge, urine leakage and unexpected period. However, I ensure I take the following precautions while using panty liners and I suggest you…

» change your liner every 3-4 hours
» do not overuse if you have sensitive skin
» stop use incase of rashness and itchiness

Now you can be yourself… dance away without worrying about leakage, laugh out loud without worrying about bladder leakage, work out fiercely without worrying about discharge.
