O3+ PLUNGE WATERMELON BRIGHTENING SERUM REVIEW

In this post, I will be reviewing O3+ Plunge Watermelon Brightening Serum in detail.

Item Description:

The O3+ Plunge watermelon brightening serum is lightening up and a hydrating serum that evens out skin tone diminishes the presence of barely recognizable differences and renews the appearance for brilliant, glowing skin. It is rich in natural AHA that helps in making the skin luminous. Infused with the goodness of watermelon, this serum is an unquestionable must have for all skin types aside from extremely oily skin type.

Cost:

INR 740 for 10 gm.

Skin Type:

Dry, acne-prone, combination.

Ingredients:

My Experience with O3+ Plunge Watermelon Brightening Serum:

This serum comes in a transparent, glass bottle that closes with a dropper. So as to take out the serum, you need to utilize the dropper. The mechanism is a mess-free, however, looks sensitive. I somehow prefer the pump dispensers as it has better command over the product. Since the container is transparent, you can watch out for the measure of the product left in the bottle. Discussing the value point, I feel this serum is somewhat costly considering just 10 gm is given.

The texture of O3+ Plunge Watermelon Brightening Serum is lightweight, it's transparent and gel-like. It is a light pink liquid which sinks into the skin without leaving any oily buildup. The scent of this serum is wonderful and mild. It feels like fresh watermelon essence and I like it. Just a small pump of this product is adequate to cover the whole face. I take around 2-3 drops of this product utilizing the dropper and dab it all over my face (make sure you press the product in the skin and not rub it). Abstain from taking the item in your hand as it may prompt product wastage. It spread evenly without much effort on the skin. This is a quick absorbing serum which seeps into the skin very fast. It prepares the skin and makes a smooth base for makeup application.

Much the same as most facial serums out there, O3+ Plunge Watermelon Brightening Serum supplies the skin with a good dose of nourishment and hydrates skin in the first application itself. It doesn't feel sticky at all and has a lightweight feel to it. My skin feels brilliant and radiant after utilizing this serum. With regular use, my skin has turned out to be delicate and supple. The texture of my skin has additionally improved. I have utilized some facial serums which broke out on my skin, however, fortunately, this serum did not obstruct facial pores. So, it is good for acne-prone skin as well. During winters, it would not be enough to take care of the dryness.

Talking about the claims of this product, it claims to even out the skin tone, however, I didn't notice any impact on my skin tone.  This doesn’t perform any specific action with respect to skin brightening. I can’t comment if it works on fine lines as my skin doesn’t have such signs. This serum is best to be used at night time before going to sleep. I keep it overnight and the next day, I wake up with fresh skin.

Summing up, this is a hydrating serum, works well for night-time skincare schedule. My skin feels fresh and radiant in the morning. The quantity provided is less and wouldn’t last long.

Pros of O3 Plunge Watermelon Brightening Serum:

Travel-friendly packaging.

Made from watermelon essence

Gets absorbed rapidly, does not feel sticky.

Makes skin delicate and smooth.

Hydrates skin.

Does not cause breakouts.

Improves skin texture with regular use.

Cons of O3+ Plunge Watermelon Brightening Serum:

Somewhat costly.

Less amount is given.

Doesn't level out skin tone.

No skin lightening.

Would I Repurchase/Recommend O3+ Plunge Watermelon Brightening Serum?

Absolutely.

Shimmer Candy Ratings:

3/5

EASY POST WINTER SKIN CARE REMEDIES

                                           EASY POST WINTER SKIN CARE REMEDIES

They say, “To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.” True that! Winter has its own charm. But have you ever realized the havoc it could wreak on your skin? The cold air robs the natural oils from your skin, leaving it dry and itchy. It can even cause severe dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis. That’s why you need to take care of it. In this article, I have listed 15 tips you can follow to keep your skin super happy post winter.

15 Skin Care Tips To Beat The Post Winter Dryness and Dullness

1. Use Lukewarm Water

It is very tempting to go for hot showers when the temperature is dipping. But if you love your skin, avoid them. Instead, use lukewarm water to shower and wash your face. Hot showers dry your skin quickly, and if you do not moisturize it immediately, your skin can develop cracks and winter eczema. Once you have taken a lukewarm shower, apply a moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid and ceramides. This will keep the moisture barrier intact and prevent dryness.

2. Stay Hydrated 

Be it inside your home or outside, the air is drier in winter and post the season.  As a result, water evaporates from your body easily. Hence, you need to keep your skin hydrated. An easy way to keep it hydrated is by drinking lots of water and fresh juices. Though you might not feel as thirsty during winters or post as the other seasons, you need to maintain your regular water intake. You can also install a humidifier to manage the moisture level in your home. This will certainly keep your skin happy.

3. Choose Skin Care Products Wisely

A recent Society of Dermatology SkinCare Specialists (SDSS) study shows that 88% of women don't know the right products for their skin!
What kept your skin happy during summers can make it sad post winter. That’s why you need to change your skin care products accordingly. The key to healthy and glowing post winters skin is using mild skin care products. Choose cleansers that contain moisturizers to avoid stripping your skin of its natural moisture barrier. If you have acne or breakouts, use products containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, hydration serums, and glycerin to help in repairing the moisture barrier of your skin.

Avoid masks and peels, astringent lotions, and any product that contains alcohol as they make your skin dry during winters.

4. Protect Your Skin

You need to protect your skin from the cold wind or snow or rain if you are stepping out in winter. So, wear gloves and caps and do not forget your sunscreen lotion. The warm sun rays feel pleasant, but the UV rays can damage your skin a lot. Choose a sunscreen that has titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Also, avoid going outside immediately after you have washed your hands or after a shower. Wait for the skin to dry because damp skin tends to crack easily.

5. Do Not Exfoliate Much

                                    


Exfoliating the skin helps in getting rid of dead cells. But you have to be careful after winters because your skin barrier is already compromised due to the dry and cold weather. And you don’t want to lose it with excess exfoliation. Exfoliating your skin once a week is fine – this helps in boosting skin regeneration and better product absorption. Also, you should exfoliate depending on your skin type. If you have very dry skin, avoid exfoliating at all. If you have combination and oily skin, once a week is fine.

6. Don’t Forget The Hands
                       
                            



The skin on your hands is thinner and has fewer oil glands as compared to the skin on any other body part. That’s why moisture escapes from your hands quickly, making them prone to cracks and itchiness. Apply a moisturizer and keep them hydrated. Wear thin cotton gloves.


7. Care For Your Feet

                             

Choose glycerin-based creams and petroleum jelly to moisturize your feet. Also, make sure you exfoliate the skin on your feet occasionally so that it can absorb the moisturizer easily.

8. Do Not Wear Wet Clothes For Too Long

                              



This will irritate your skin further and cause itchiness. Walking and playing in the snow is fine, but make sure you remove the wet socks, pants, and gloves as soon as possible.

9. Avoid Anything That Irritates The Skin

                           

Follow this if you have persistent skin issues like eczema and psoriasis. Post winter skin is extremely fragile, and exposure to allergens can trigger your symptoms. Wear clothes that are comfy and eat healthy, apply products that are a boon for your skin.

10. Don’t Ditch The Sunglass
                             
                          
This is especially for those who live in places where it snows heavily. The snow and sun glares can harm the skin around your eyes and cause dark circles, fine lines, and other issues. So, whenever you step outside, make sure that you wear good quality UV protected sunglasses.

11. Try Natural Skin Care Ingredients

                        


\
Homemade skin care masks and face packs using natural ingredients protect your skin from chemical exposure. Ingredients like honey, jojoba oil, avocado oil, aloe vera, and banana help in maintaining the moisture levels of your skin, prevent skin issues and keep you glowing.

12. Limit Caffeine And Alcohol

                    

Who doesn’t love a warm cup of coffee on a pleasant morning? Or a glass of vodka on a cold evening? They are fine – provided you consume them in moderate amounts. Avoid the temptation of overconsuming caffeine and alcoholic beverages post winter because they dehydrate your skin and make it dry and flaky.

13. Follow A Daily Skin Care Routine

And it doesn’t need to be an elaborate one. Here’s a very basic and simple skincare routine that anyone can follow to keep their skin happy during winters. Cleanse your skin once or twice a day, preferably in the morning and before going to bed. After washing your face in the morning, apply a light daily moisturizer to lock the moisture in. And at night, use a heavy moisturizer or overnight cream. This should be done on damp skin because just-washed skin absorbs moisture better.

14. Take Care Of Your Diet

                   

Because that’s the way to keep your skin nourished. Consume a lot of seasonal fruits and veggies. Berries are exceptional sources of vitamins and antioxidants that your skin needs to stay healthy during the dry weather. Strawberries, grapes, blueberries, raspberries, or cherries – pick anything you love. Also, if you think that you are missing out on the hydration part (limited water intake), you can cover that up with fruits, veggies, and other food items such as soups, salads, juices, and milk. In this way, your body will get the nutrients and also meet its daily water required to keep the skin healthy.

15. Exercise

                             

Yes! I know it’s hard to leave the warmth and coziness of the blanket behind and get moving on a morning. But do it if you love your skin. Exercise will pump up your heart rate, which in turn, pumps more blood to your organs and skin. It also keeps your pores clear. Exercising makes you sweat, flushing out all the toxins, cleaning the skin, and keeping your internal organs healthy.

During winters and post the dry season, the oil and sweat glands in your body and the blood vessels constrict a bit. This makes it hard for your skin to keep itself healthy and glowing naturally, and that’s why it needs your help. These tips are not difficult to follow, and you can easily include them in your daily routine.

On account of advanced cameras, cosmetics craftsmen are progressively popular for weddings, fashion shoots, corporate headshot photography, and other extraordinary occasions that will be shot or recorded.

There are a few things that I as an individual want to bring forward for my reader. Let's together  dig deep into the following:

- About makeup schools:

Like any normal school, a makeup school is out there to educate you, widen your knowledge, enhance your skills, recognize your potential and to create a strong background so that the stairs to your dream work is made a little comfortable.

• The most effective method to manufacture a cosmetics unit (ie, the sorts of cosmetics and brands you'll require for various kinds of cosmetics gigs).

• Locate the right "value point" to charge your customers. 
• System and utilize your contacts to make new business. 
• Make a site and post your portfolio on the web. 
• Contact/create associations with photographers, beauty studios, and generation organizations.
• Team up with photographers and imaginative chiefs to locate the right "look" for a shoot or occasion.    

-How to become a Makeup artist

A profound love of beauty and care products and enthusiasm for all of the things cosmetics is equipped for is one of the principal indications of a sprouting cosmetics craftsman. In the event that you get a kick out of the chance to explore different avenues regarding diverse corrective looks and to give them a shot on yourself and your companions, you may find a genuine skill for applying cosmetics professionally. On the off chance that this is your passion, there are cosmetics craftsman schools which offer classes in all the various types of aspects of cosmetics.

There are 3P's you need to keep in mind while you choose the career of a Cosmetic craftsman. 

PRACTICE 

"Practice makes a man perfect"

This is your most vital arrangement as cosmetics creativity is an expertise to be enhanced. Going to class won't present to you a superior occupation your aptitudes and assurance will. 

You have to experiment with various individuals different face shapes, eye shapes, skin hues, eye hues, and ages. 

Make a point to photo the greater part of your looks as this will indicate you later on where you have to enhance and how your cosmetics means pictures. Cosmetics, all things considered, appears to be extremely unique from cosmetics in pictures-it has a tendency to get washed out and not be as dynamic. 

You needn't bother with a costly heap of cosmetics, yet you do need to put resources into an assortment of brushes and utilize cosmetics preliminaries. Utilizing diverse brushes particularly for the eyes will give you distinctive looks in view of how you utilize them. 

Ask other cosmetics craftsmen, companions, and relatives what they think about your work-instruct them frankly, as real feedback is the means by which we move forward! (It harms, I know, however it improves us ;) )

PORTFOLIO

You can have 2 types of portfolios- a print one and an online one.  An online one is better (in my opinion), as it reaches more people and can be viewed at any time.

If you do a printed portfolio, standard sizes of your pictures should be 9×12 or 11×14.  Put these pictures in a professional looking leather binder with plastic sleeves in them.  This will be a somewhat pricey project, but worth it if you plan on taking it with you to meet with potential clients.

For online portfolios, you can purchase your own domain name and use WordPress to post your pictures.  You could hire a local web designer or even a college student taking web design to help you put your site together.  There is nothing wrong with using a blog template either as long as it looks professional.  DO NOT use myspace or facebook to host your portfolio- it looks unprofessional!

Hire a professional photographer to take pictures of your work- no, do not have your neighbour Billy Bob do it.  You do not want to spend so much time, money, and effort putting together a great look just to get an average looking picture.  Find 2 or 3 local models of various types to work with you for a day and do various styles of makeup on them. Then have your photographer take various shots of each model- make sure to get some headshots also.

Your portfolio needs to consist of various styles:  clean makeup (simple but flawless), editorial makeup, avant-garde (experimental makeup), and beauty makeup.  Do not put bridal makeup in your portfolio- have a separate portfolio of your bridal work if you plan on going this route for your career.


PUBLICIZE

Your first step in getting your name out there is to get professional business cards.  Make your cards clean and professional and be sure to include your name, email address, link to your online portfolio, and possibly phone number.  Remember the KISS rule:   Keep It Simple Stupid  :)

Make yourself known to all wedding planners, party planners, local makeup counters, and any event coordinators.  Whenever you meet them, be dressed professionally and have a great makeup look on- your face is your hugest advertisement!

Hand out your business cards to all local planners, colleges and high schools (for prom season), retailers at makeup counters, and anyone else who will take your card.  It takes time to build a reputation, so don’t give up too soon.

A cosmetics craftsman accreditation isn't generally required relying upon your area, yet a portfolio is basic. Take fantastic photos of your work as you go from task to extend all through school and past, stay in contact with individuals you've work with and improperly request tributes and referrals, and be available to work with new specialists, items, and strategies as circumstances emerge.

Relationship building abilities are essential, and it keeps up a notoriety of functioning admirably with requesting on-screen characters, chiefs, photographers, and others.

-Career Options

Cosmetics specialists can work at salons, spas, retail chains, wedding boutiques thus numerous more kinds of organizations. Numerous cosmetics experts are independent on the grounds that the work is so versatile, and showcase themselves as pros in weddings and exceptional occasions, photograph shoots, runway models, film and TV, live theater, and enhancements, among others.

The most widely recognized cosmetics craftsmen work are in the movie and video ventures, individual care administrations, performing arts, TV broadcasting, and entertainment meccas and arcades (genuinely!).

To make your job a little easy I am listing down a few schools for Cosmetic Craftsmanship training-

INDIA-

India:

Shahnaz Husain Makeup School
LTA School of Beauty
SMA Pune- International Makeup Academy
