Biotique skin whitening and fairness pack review (Fruit pack)

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 12:47 PM PDT

                                          Biotique fruit pack - an whitening and fairness pack

Its 12.:30 am and I am cleaning my almirah and the reason is  that I am leaving for mommie house tomorrow.:)Too excited  ye yeyeye !!! :D :D while cleaning I came across this fruit pack which I have completed long back but didn't review it.So thought of reviewing it before I get a new one for myself.

One more reason I wanted to review this is because I liked the product.Pack has beautiful thick red paste which I enjoyed though out.You can see the proof below :D


What the product claims - A skin whitening and fairness pack.Cures pigmentation of skin, eczema, porasis and increases blood circulation.


 Price of Biotique skin whitening and fairness pack is Rs 180 for 85 grams 

This pack is not recommended for sensitive skin people as when you apply it it causes burning sensation due to its effective ingredients.

Ingredients:5% Multani Mitti:, 2.5% Geru, 1.5% Yashad Bhasma, 3% Tamatar Ras, 5% Anannas Ras, 2% Kiker Gond, QS Paste Base

Why I purchased the product - All the ingredients mentioned in the product are herbal and this is why I thought of giving it a try.

   I didn't leave a bit into it 

How to use Biotique fruit pack

 I clean my face and neck and apply a thick layer of the pack on my face.Thicker the pack better is the result(This is what I experiences and I don't know the reason behind it),You can put cotton soaked pad in rose water or cucumber on eye area and avoid applying it on your eyes.You can lie down for 10 -15 minutes on your bed till the pack gets completely dried.Wash it off with lukewarm or cold water.Pat dry your face and apply toner or a moisturizer. 

My likes  - 

1. It makes my skin soft and smooth.

2. After applying the post my pores shrinks a bit for few hours.

3. Pack suits my oily skin completely .

4. Smell of the pack doesn't irritate my skin.

5. Decently priced.

6. It gives instant light fairness and glow to my face.

7.Helpful for working woman who always suffer from paucity of time and do not have time to spend hours in parlors on  facial or bleaches.

Dislikes:-

1. When I used it first time I really got scared because it irritated my skin a bit but after five minutes my skin adjusted to the pack.

2. Like most of the Biotique packaging this one to comes in a deep bottle and one has to dig their finger in it to take out the product.

3. Result of the product are temporary and not permanent.

4. This product is of course not going to make me ultra fair but surely gives me little glow and fairness which I don't mind after going through its ingredients.

5. I don't think so that it helps in blood circulation , prosais or eczema .

Will I re purchase - Yes, I will. Not a bad product at all but  a complete No No for sensitive skin.

Rating - 3.5/7

Tommy Hilfiger brands ethos is culturally livid and strong with the theme of Rock & Roll music and their various musical brand associations.

Eat before or after workout ?

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 05:23 AM PDT

By Manisha,

Do you know that what you eat before and after workout is as important as the regimen itself.



I always knew that an effective workout depends on many factors but was not aware that our diet is the most important  one.A month ago I changed my gym and my dietitian revealed some interesting facts which I would like to share here on Wise She.

What we eat before a workout prepare our body for the stress and the meal after is responsible for muscle building and body repair.Below are some points which helps a person which helps a person in getting the best from the workout.

What to eat before a work out

Healthy foods to eat - Our body needs a dose of carbohydrates one hour before we hit the gym.An ideal thing would be to have an apple but I prefer having idlis or toast.One can even have cornflakes as they are quick to make and hardly require any effort.

Best would be to have banana for the complex carbohydrate  as these needs little time to get digested are easy on the body and provides you with maximum energy during the workout.Also, do not forget to take a glass of water so that your body is well hydrated.

Never go hungry - Do not hit the gym on an empty hit the gym on an empty stomach.The stress on he body accompanied with the lack of sugar (energy) will lead to hypoglycemia, a condition that will make you prone to fatigue.

Diabetic workout diet -  A person who is a diabetic needs to work out soon after a heavy meal.Normally an healthy person should  maintain a gap of two or three hours between a heavy meal and the workout.The main logic is to allow the sugar level in the body to reach an optimum level.


What to eat after workout - During workout the level of cortisol in the body increases this makes our body prone to infections.This is why the hour just after the workout is called as the "WINDOW PERIOD" as it provides windows to infection to enter our body.One is advised to take full advantage of this opportunity and eat as soon as possible.

Best food to eat after workout

1Our body loses salt due to sweating and that is why it is very important to compensate via a rich source of electrolyte by administering oral re hydration therapy.

 2. Protein - Having protein shakes have become a fad now but do not depend upon proteins for your supply of energy as they are far more difficult to digest and take a toll on your kidneys.To aid digestion one should make sure that they include lots of greens in their meals as they are rich in fiber.

3.Post workout supplements - The body needs a high protein diet for muscle building.However ,relying on supplements is not the answer.The best option for a post workout DIY supplements is to take the watery part of curd (that is very rich in protein) minus the cream and fat, chop a banana and apple into a blender .Apple is rich in fibre too and it is a perfect combination of protein and carbohydrate.
