I would like to share the joy of having rediscovered the Aviance SPF 15 moisturizer-a product from Unilever India again.
I was introduced to this wonderful moisturizer at this quaint little parlour in Mumbai
I was given the following pieces of gyan by the parlour assistant:
Your skin has a bad tan
You need to be double careful in a dry climate (when I told her it would improve by itself now that I was moving to Bangalore)
This is a sunscreen+moisturizer, which will prevent it from tanning and make it smooth and glowing
Well, that was all I needed to be convinced and even though it left a small dent in my pocket(around 276/- for 150 ml), I was ready to give it a try.
And work it did for me-as a background, I am one of those chosen ones with a terribly oily skin and have had more than a fair share of acne and other skin eruptions!!!!:)
This moisturizer, besides doing the obvious of moisturizing the skin, also has a SPF ingredient, which protects the skin against UVB.
Here is a little bit of info on the usefulness of the SPF factor:
''SPF measures the length of time a product protects against skin reddening from UVB, compared to how long the skin takes to redden without protection. If it takes 20 minutes without protection to begin reddening, using an SPF 15 sunscreen theoretically prevents reddening 15 times longer - about 5 hours. (Actually, it may take up to 24 hours after sun exposure for redness to become visible.)
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends SPFs of at least 15, which block 93 percent of UVB.''
The 150 ml lasted for almost 6 months, as promised by my beauty advisor!!:)
And no, this is not the only reason for my joy. I was shocked to find that the product is not available on the shelf and when the quota was over, I rushed around trying to get a few bottles from Mumbai.
I had almost resigned to the non-availability of the product when I accidentally found out about the Unilever network, that supports the sales of this and many other products.
Got my pack yesterday and I am looking forward to a wonderful complexion again!!!!:)
And I have not got a catalog from them listing various other products in the Aviance line too. Hopefully, another review will follow soon.
Till then...Cheers
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
