#SayNoToBars with Garnier Men Facewashes

   We women have completely shunned the use of soaps on our delicate facial skin due to their harmful effects, so why should men stay behind! It's high time that men be it our boyfriends, brothers, fathers or uncles who take their skincare regimen for granted start pampering their skin! And, Garnier Men, leaders in male skincare products have come up with a campaign to promote just the same!

    Why ditch soaps you ask! Here's why:
- To maintain a better level of hygiene. Why would anyone want to use the same bar of soap that in many cases used by other members of the family as well or use it for the naughty bits as well as the delicate facial skin.
- Soaps alter the normal pH of the skin. The skin has its natural pH between acidic to neutral while that of soaps tends to be on the alkaline side. This change of pH makes the skin dry. Over a period of time, this excessive dryness leads to over-activity of sebaceous glands which ultimately causes oily skin.
- Soaps by causing dryness and dehydration of skin, causes premature wrinkling of facial skin.
- Soaps often contain many harsh and harmful chemicals which could do more damage to your facial skin rather than do it any good and can result in many allergic conditions.
- Soaps help in general cleansing and wont help in specific problems that men face like excessively oily skin, acne, clogged pores, etc. whereas facewashes are made with specific ingredients which targets these issues and help overcome them. For example, if you are battling acne use Garnier Men Acno Fight Facewash, for fairer complexion use Garnier Men Power Light Facewash, for clogged pores use Garnier Men Pore Unclogging Face Wash and for oily skin use Garnier Men Oil Clear Facewash.
- Soaps get dirty by falling on the bathroom floor and also serve as breeding ground for bacteria and may lead to many infections.
- Facewashes are easy to carry and use and can be shared with others without the possibility of transmission of infections.
- Easily available across departmental stores, chemists and online shopping sites.
- Attractive pocket friendly prices.

   I have been suffering from many hair woes since around a year and a half now since I was until recently, stuck in a small town with provision of only hard water. This made me prone to hairfall, frizzy hair and a crazy combination of a super oily scalp with dry hair! Also, it made my hair very rough and lusterless.
   So, the launch of New Deep Action Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner couldn't have come at a better time as it has made my hair much more manageable. The shampoo cleanses my hair well. The conditioner helped make my hair smoother, shinier, easy to detangle and less frizzy.

   Pros:

- Packaged in sturdy melon coloured bottles.

- Both, the shampoo and the conditioner have a very good fragrance which lasts for a few hours after the hair wash.

- Good thick consistency of the conditioner, shampoo is relatively thinner in consistency.

- A small amount of shampoo is enough to produce abundant lather.

- Cleanses the hair well in just a single wash.

- Hair appears softer and more lustrous after even a single use.

- Moisturizes the hair well and takes away all the dryness.
- Makes hair easy to manage and less frizzy.

- Leaves no tangles at all after using the conditioner.

- Well affordable.

- Easily available at chemists, departmental stores as well as online shopping sites.

   Cons:
- Contains sulphates and many more chemicals known to harm hair. 
- Doesn't help much with hairfall.

   Verdict: 4.5/5. A shampoo that I would recommend to all and definitely repurchase!
