Biotique- BioPineapple Facewash- A review

There are those bestowed with good skin and those destined with bad skin, but a very few like me who are shoved with pathetic skin :/
So when I was whining this way to my cousin she introduced me to biotique and there has been no looking back since then.
Of all their products what worked wonders for me was the biotique pineapple face wash. I have acne and oily skin and this face wash retains the right amount of moisture and ensures the face is not shiny for a good three hours after use. It reduces acne too within about two weeks of continuous use. I use a small button sized portion once in the morning and once in the evening. If you have similar oily skin please do try it and tell me how it goes 🙂

P.S. : The biotique range of products as such is very good. To know more about their products and about which product suits your skin, take a look at their informative and interesting literature which is available in all department stores which stock biotique products and choose wisely 🙂

Giving Back, its essential!

“Should you return your t-shirts back to your company?”

“No, why do you ask?”

“Because it says ‘Giving Back is essential’ on them”

That was the level of smartness of the kids I spent time with today 😀 . So as a CSR initiative of our company, a group of 20 of us got to interact it with a group of 50 kids from a nearby slum. And the result of this, PURE MAGIC! 🙂 It was so encouraging to see these kids being so informed and enthusiastic. And then there was me at that age, :

16954-When-I-Was-A-Kid

So a couple of friends and I did a presentation on health and hygiene (which they received quite well, except for the fact that they pointed out that

  1. We had grown our nails and painted them hideously
  2. We never seemed to be oiling and plaiting our hair
  3. Thank God there wasn’t a third! 😛 )

And then there were a couple of group activities like pot painting, and tower building out of straw to teach them the basic qualities of team work and having a strong foundation (education, family values, etc). And the day ended with lunch!

In total I felt it was a day well-spent and I sure hope the kids felt the same too 🙂
