Thanks Christine..
Aloe Gel is really nice and does not leave a cast. its actually a protector..

when you wash it off skin just feel soft & supple..
Being a oily skin try to less chemicals as you can..

before that, this is what worked very well for me:
Face wash: lotus teatree wash 9used 3 big tubes)

Day moisturiser + sunscreen for face: Neutrogena oil free moisturiser with SPF-15

And some more:

i keep changing brands but my all my fav is “Clean n Clear” face wash. right now, i m loving our very own “vicco turmeric” too! n in winters, though none of u would believe it, i apply Boroline all over my face before going to bed and wake up to soft and glowing skin. i was quite sceptical about it at first as the cream is really sticky(i thought it would break me out!), but then i have my mom infrnt of me who applied nothing but boroline till she was almost thirty n believe it pr not, the lady hasnt got a SINGLE wrinkle or line on her face till now, her skin is taut as ever( she is 52 now) 😮 she swears by boroline and even i do now 🙂
and the best part is… the the tube costs as less as 20 bucks!
why moderation? 🙁

My favourite is Essentials Face Mask. This face pack is really great and works well for your skin. Actually any skin!
My favourite is Very Me Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow. BB creams are quite in vogue these days. Though this one is not exactly a BB cream…but it works pretty much like one. I’ve been using it for quite some time now and I’m more than happy with it. It brings a subtle change in complexion and the perfect peach hue that makes your skin a little dewy.
