Sodium Laureth Sulfate ~ WHAATT?!



Today, i bumped into this particular chemical...thanks to my sister who studies about this sort of stuff...do you know what it is?
lemme introduce you with this fellow 'sodium laureth sulfate' or 'sodium lauryl sulfate' (SLS or SLES) ...like the name, this fellow doesnt sound friendly aswell....my sister told me that this 'SLS' causes hair loss and is found in most of our shampoos! so the first thing i did was, i went to google and searched it...you can also go and find ALOT about it over there!

After reading all the information...i came to know that it causes skin irritation, hair loss, cataracts in adults if it comes in contact with eyes...okay im starting to sound scary now, aint i? :/
so on and so forth, there were plenty more cons of this
this SLS ingredient is for basically 'deep cleaning' ...it is used mostly in detergents etc...this will keep your hair from looking greasy! i checked my shampoo ingredients and found it was present there too :/ ...oh well, my shampoo bottle is running out...so i'll be checking out some other SLS free shampoo...btw, im using sunsilk damage repair shampoo these days, lol can u believe it...damage repair shampoo and such kind of ingredient in it :/ ...but from now on...sunsilk, you are not invited to my home, unless you let go off your SLS! lol

Do you even check what ingredient is in your shampoo? well, i dont...but im surely going to check from now on!

Now talking about Hair loss, we all know that everyone sheds almost 100 hair everyday...and after using these SLS shampoos, why arent we all bald yet? It may have caused your hair to shed some extra hair, hmm?
And apart from this hair loss factor, this SLS also has some harmful facts aswell, so why take risk?
We all want our body to be healthy, dont we?

If you use some SLS containing shampoo, do rinse your hair and body thoroughly...and dont lather your hair for a long time, do consider these precautions while shampooing!

After reading all the facts about this particular ingredient, i'll be checking out some SLS free shampoos from now on...its better to take precautions for yourself, am i right? do check your shampoo ingredients aswell...till then takecare of yourself :)

New Luscious Whitening Base for Oily/Combination Skin ~ Review

Image
A year or two ago when i got the Luscious Whitening Base, i looked at it and wished it came in a bigger tube..Im Happy that Luscious Cosmetics released it in a bigger better tube :) Lets see how this one performs! Whats they Say? Save Your Skin!  Sun damage has become a big part of our lives due to pollution and the environment. No matter what your age is, you are at risk of sun damage (dark patches and uneven skin tone) every time you step out without a good sun block. Here to the rescue is Luscious Whitening Base SPF 35. All in One:  • Oil-free Moisturiser  • High performance Sun Protection  • Makeup Primer The benefits: The list is endless. With continued use, you will see a visibly clearer and fairer complexion, as well as smoother skin texture. ShyCheeeks Experience Im really happy they actually changed the tube, the previous one was a little hard to squeeze and was for 'All Skin Types' Now this comes for Oily/Combination and for Dry Skin I like the concept...

Wishlist #12

1. CLINIQUE Cheek Pop Blush These blushes grabbed my attention the moment I laid my eyes upon them. They look adorable with the beautiful floral relief and I hear it's not just their looks that is spectacular, the creamy-powder hybrid formula is highly praised as well. Peach Pop appeals to me most and perhaps even Berry Pop , though it looks super bright. I really wanted to see them in person when I went to Müller a week ago, but it appears Slovenia is late to the party yet again. Boots international has them for £16.50 (about 20.6 €) . 2. DIOR ADDICT Fluid Stick and MAYBELLINE Color Elixir Lip Color   I used to own loads of lip gloss, but I have since completely switched to lipsticks resulting in a very pathetic lip gloss collection for a beauty enthusiast. These new releases by Maybelline and Dior, which are just a couple of the new takes on very pigmented versions of lip gloss formula, caught my attention. I swatched a few Dior ones in Müller and I really liked them. I al...

Hair Oils Series: Kérastase Elixir Ultime

Image
And the award for the most over-dramatic advertising goes to -  Kérastase (owned by L'Oreal): “The alchemy of four precious oils to beautify hair. A new legend is born, the secret of magnificent hair is revealed.” *Facepaw* Alchemy? Legend? Secret of magnificent hair? Give me a break. Who comes up with these things? It’s a hair product not a trailer for a fantasy blockbuster. Let’s keep it real, please. But let’s focus on the product. Packaging : A clear plastic bottle with a pump. It's good for travelling, not only because it's plastic, but also because the bottle is light. It has a pump that dispenses the product nicely and in small amounts, so it's easy to pump out the desired amount. Because the bottle is clear, it's better to keep it stored in a dark place to protect it from sunlight. Ingredients : First two ingredients are silicones as with all of these hair oils. They are followed by corn oil, argan oil, camelia oil and pracaxi oil. The rest six ingredients a...
