Basic skincare

Hey guys. This post will basically be all about skincare. Honestly skincare excites me as much as makeup and glam does. Skincare should always come first especially to all those out there who have hectic schedules. Here are a few tips I wish I’d known sooner and some extras. Hope you guys like it!

• Know your skin type. Its very important that you know your skin type. You should always try to buy products that would help you get rid of your certain problems or products that work well with your skin. buying products that don’t suit your skin may cause some short term or long term effects on your skin. For example, if your skin’s pH is low then you should opt for products that are supposed to balance skin’s pH level. I would recommend Neutrogena ‘s mild facial cleanser. This face wash goes with MOST skin types and balances your pH and leaves your skin feeling soft. This might help you figuring out your skin type/s.

Also note that it is completely possible to have more than one skin type such as a combination of dry, oily and acne-prone.

• Have a skincare routine. I know how hard it can be to maintain a skincare routine because of the hectic routines, deadlines and stuff. But trust me its really important that you have one. Here’s one of the most standard routines that even I go by.

Just taking out 10 mins every morning and night will give you amazing results and could leave you mesmerised with your own skin. Regardless of your skin type your daily/nightly routines won’t change. The only thing your skin type affects is the products used.

Visit a dermatologist for best results. if you know your skin is very acne prone or extremely sensitive then its best to pay the dermatologist a visit. This is even for people who have a normal skin type. The dermatologist will simple tell you which substances should certain products have in order for you to get the best results of your skin.

A few tips. Exfoliate (not to hard). Do face masks (clay, sheet etc). Meditate. Use clean sheets. Stay positive. Drink water. Eat fruits. Always remove make up. Use makeup that doesn’t harm YOUR skin type. Use eye roller balls. Detox masks. Make own face masks if you want

Know your brands. This is very important when it comes to products that go on the skin. Don’t just buy things because of their aesthetic looks or trend. buy products that your skin likes. I actually mean it. When it comes to skin you don’t get to decide what products to use but your skin does. See which products make your skin softer, which make it dry, if your skin is prone to acne than a face wash that clears off your skin of the oils would be the best.

Here are few of the best affordable brands I know:

• Neutrogena
• Forest Essentials
• Lančome
• Glossier
• Sephora (for face masks; one of the best ones Ive ever used)

There are many high end/luxury skincare products which I would also recommend but I’ll write about it in another post.

And whatever happens remember guys you’re all beautiful in your own skin! Skin care isn’t about getting the standard skin that Insta model’s have BUT maintaining a HEALTHY SKIN for YOURSELF. And the best way to to do is staying positive and happy.

I have a lot more to tell you guys but I’ll write more posts for it. I hope you guys enjoyed please let me know anything in the comments below and share with your friends!
