A child like soft, clear at and flawless skin is a dream of every woman. Skin problems arise when the dirt and germs come in contact with the skin and block its natural pores causing pimples. A pimple then leaves a spot as it goes away. Therefore treating it right at the onset is the wisest move.
Mine is an oily skin and if Shakespeare was alive he would have written my agony as "Why lord dost so unkind to gift thou such an oily skin?" Well I ask the same everyday. Being a single independent woman I try the best to put maximum hours of my day into work and work includes travel. They say women in olden times didn't have a scar on their face but how would they? They never faced tons of pollution!
The other problem with women like us is time or where is the time? My mom has lovingly gifted me a Chandan stick with a base to rub on,melt it and apply on my face for a clear skin. She lovingly did this and still does when I am home but when away at the end of a 12-14 hour job plus commute I just cannot manage it. I also do not have the time to spend hours in the beauty parlor.
The story now on is however not the Shakespeare ode to the unkind continued but my journey into maintaining a clear one each day. As I said I had an oily skin, so oily I can shine without a moisturizer like one of those models in a commercials but it has its own offsets. People like me tend to catch the pollution fast which sticks to the face and only thing that can help is repetitive washing of the face. That certainly is possible if one,'s job is desk and chair but mine involves field work and travel. As you know we how clean our Indian roads are, within 15 minutes of stepping outside the house I am victimized, my skin cries to breathe fresh air. The result four years ago was severe skin eruptions marking my face.
Nobody hires a person who looks like a can of dripping oil and I faced a lot of rejections because I had traveled far for interviews and one cannot be Aishwarya Rai unless one travels by AC car and just steps out for business. On second thoughts most of such women don't work. So for the Aam aurat the solution has to be economical and practical. Also being in a profession demanding 12-14 hours of work I cannot go now and again to keep washing my face. The result of this was having a bad skin with pimples leaving marks on my fair skin. I consulted with multiple skin specialists who prescribed medicine after medicine but nothing to cure. Then when s friends mother who was a skin specialist saw me she could understand my pain and had just one solution Neem soap.
Neem has been known since the Vedic times as a medicinal plant. It was a logical choice but there
was just one short coming, soaps render skin dry and the skin look s malnourished. From severely oily I wanted to go healthy not the bereft. So I started trying neem face washes and my eyes fell on Garnier's neem face wash. It is specifically designed for oily skin which helps you remove oil, fights germs and cleanses deeply to remove all the exposure by pollution to your precious skin.

I started using it about three months ago and my skin is much better now. It doesn't dry like using soap and doesn't get oily too soon, so you can work without bothering too much. So no pimpleas and no marks as they claim. The results of a clear skin are obviously more confidence at work and love with myself. Thank you Garnier for being at my rescue and taking care of skin. I believe in me because of you.
