My Experience with SAKS: 


The whole experience was very nice. The salon is very unique with all white interiors and super premium ambience that instantly makes you forget all the worries and indulge yourself in little "ME" time.


They offer exclusive services and treatments and they use only Kerastase products for hair treatments; renowned U.S brand ‘Young Blood’ for make-up and Elemis for their beauty and spa treatments. This helps them in maintaining their quality even further.

They are introducing Saks royalty room in India, where one can do all their treatments in the luxury of a private room. This has been specially introduced for celebrities and their VIP clientele.

Saks offers a 360-degree solution to all hair related issues. With a Cosmetologist and Dermatologist present in the salon, a customer can avail all the care she needs under one roof.

I got a chance to get consultation and haircut done from Mr. Naeem who was kind enough to give me insights and tips for hair care. Then followed the whole protocol of - hair wash, hair cut , blow dry and setting. 

The overall experience was very nice and I am very happy with my new haircut !!! I thank Naeem for suggesting me this style and giving me tips on maintaining my tresses.... I will surely consider your tip of getting Highlights done :) :)

Dermadew - Acne Soap Review

Hi everyone ... its time for another review .. this time it is a acne soap which is prescribed to me by my dermatologist. Yes I am suffering from acne since past two months now, it is really bothering me and I am frankly very sick and tired mentally of it. As soon as i am successful in getting rid of one... another two of my  "best friends" pop out to say hello . . . . .

It was then I lost hope and decided to visit dermatologist who first suggested me to go in for glycolic peeling . . .which I am sure we all are aware of what that is. . . I declined to go in for that treatment because I don't suffer from that many acne . . .

So she had started on series of medicines and ointments. She also prescribed me this soap and suggested me to use this for my face everyday.

So let's have a look at this soap - -

This soap comes in a packaged box and it shaped very similar as to Dove's soap. The soap does have a faint medicated smell which does not bother much and its very faintly bluish whitish in color.

  What the product says ?

Price: It is expensively priced at 115 Rupees.

Ingredients: 
Oleo Base Surfactant
Triclosan
Ethyl lactate
Zinc PCA
Salicylic acid
Manuka concentrate
Willow Extract
Tea Tree Oil
Olive oil
Aloe vera
Glycerine


My Take on the Product: 





I absolutely love this soap. It is very gentle on the skin and does not dry out my skin.
It is successful in removing all the dirt and grime. Also it keeps my face matte and oil free for 2- 3 hours.
I noticed that ever since i started using this soap -there has been no new breakouts.
This soap is not successful in getting rid of your existing acne and pimples. It certainly prevents from new ones to occur.
The medicated smell does not linger at all which is a plus point for me.
This soap is successful in getting rid of tiny comedones i had on my face.
You cannot however expect overnight results with this soap. It takes time and slowly shows its effects.

Love it or Chuck it ? 
Love it ! My dermatologist has prescribed me to use this soap thrice daily.
