For that pore-fect skin


One thing that's always a turn off for an oily skin is the emergence of large pores on the skin. And it gets pretty bad when you have severe acne problem. It doesn't really make for a perfect healthy skin. But what can be a real saviour is how you take a good care of your skin. Properly washing your face at least two times a day by default comes out as the basic step. But that's not that. It takes proper toning for an oily skin to escape those enlarged pores.

I myself am the victim to such bad skin condition. And it's been a while that I've been trying everything possible to keep the enlarged pores at bay.

So, as part of this regime, I tried two products that especially come with the claims to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. And here I'm to preach the gospel.

Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum by Clinique: This one product really gave me some hope. I've always been hearing from experts to use a toner to diminish the appearance of enlarged pores but honestly I never see anything good coming out of it. (Though I still keep following that) So, one day there's one friend who suggested me to use Clinique products as they are said to be perfectly suited for acne prone skin. I took her advice and bought this one for 'pore'-fect my skin.
The product claims to reduce the enlarged pores to 58%. And take my words when I say it does fulfill its promise. The only thing is that it's a bit costly for the kind of result it gives.

Seaweed Pore Perfector by Body Shop: After three months of constantly using Clinique's Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum, I got hold of this product. Interestingly I couldn't find any good review of this product on internet and that got me worried. But I'm glad I bought this one as it has really worked for my skin. If after using Clinique's, I found my skin improving, then this one from Body Shop worked wonders for my skin. It doesn't come with any fancy claims but it is indeed one product that I would really preach about.





So, the choice is yours. Try it out and 'pore'-fect your skin as I know how badly these pores can affect your mood.

Until later,

Knowledge is Great

Indeed! As Stephen Hawking said ‘The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge’, I would like to carry forward this thought to the idea that if you know you’re ignorant, you can strive to gain knowledge; but if you’re in the delusion that you are pretty knowledgeable (when you are not), it sucks. This same thought applies to the selection of the course you want to do.

You never know if you’re in the illusion that you want to do something or you actually want to do that. I think the best way is to sort it out. Well, talking about Britain as the point of discussion is studying in Great Britain. Britain has plenty of amazing universities like Cambridge and Oxford… and students can really die to get a decent degree from any of these universities. But before that, you need to be sorted what course you want to go for. Selection of college comes next.

If you talk about me, I would be pretty interested in doing my MBA from UK. There are plenty of reasons that affect my decision here. But first I think I should be clear enough to answer ‘Why MBA?’.  The major focus is here is to hone your skills for a senior management role. Every business in some way or the other needs management and to do that job well, you need someone with the required skills. And if you don’t have a hands-on experience with that, better to go for an MBA degree. Or if you do have a hands-on experience here, you might want to hone your skills more and more.

Now coming to the point- why MBA in UK? The first point that comes to my mind without any doubt is because of the reputation of the country in the world of business magnates. The other point would be the choice it gives you in terms of the time interval you want to choose to complete your MBA. Quite a reason for me or for many who have quite much experience in the business world!

And last but not the least- which college? This one is quite easy in fact. I would definitely like to do it from London Business School.  It kills two birds with one stone for me. I’ve always been in awe of London. This is the city that I would like to explore, see and cherish. And doing MBA from London would serve that purpose very well. The other reasons are quite academic. Of course, the exceptional credentials of this business school play the foremost role here. Ranked best in the world, the school is renowned for its world class events. The respectable degree that it provides is surely a plus-point here.


Hope you agree with me!
