DIY Charcoal Mask for Face and Body.

August 18, 2018 No Comments

There are loads of charcoal peel off mask videos circulating on Instagram which are oddly satisfying to watch. Don’t you agree? But what I always wonder is, why would someone knowingly hurt their face like that! Also, peel off masks when used too often can damage your skin.

August 8, 2018 8 Comments

Last week I shared all the clean skincare swaps I made in this post here. And as promised, I am back with all the clean haircare swaps I have made in my routine. The haircare swap has been fairly easier than the skincare swap since I have a fairly minimalist routine and don’t use many products or heat style them. Yet, this post will guide you in replacing your basic hair care products with safer alternatives.

Why use an oil for oily skin + Grapeseed oil review

August 3, 2018 8 Comments

By now you may have already read about the benefits of using oils as moisturizers. Oils are gaining the momentum in skincare with cleansing oils, facial oil blends etc. At first, when I read such articles, I was like why should I add oil to my already oily face? Wouldn’t it just make it greasier? What if it leads more acne?

6 Must-Have Monsoon Beauty Essentials

July 18, 2018 2 Comments

For the past week, the rains have created a havoc in Mumbai by pouring non-stop. Lucky me, I sat by my window and worked on my articles, with some green tea and my leftover birthday cake (yes, the cake cancels out the purpose of green tea, but who cares! birthdays don’t come often). But for those who have to make the daily commute to office or college in these rains, it can be quite a task.

A Complete Monsoon Hair Care Guide

June 29, 2018 No Comments

Hey, there! I am back with part two of the Monsoon series. In the previous part, I discussed how to practice a basic skincare routine along with some Dos and Don’ts. This time it is all about hair care during monsoon.

While the thought of getting drenched in the rains is tempting, the rainwater may be polluted and end up damaging your hair strands and allow growth of bacteria due to wetness. The heavy winds usually blowing during monsoon can turn your hair into a bird’s nest leading to knots, rough hair etc. Along with your skin, your lustrous locks can suffer during the monsoon too if you don’t treat them right. Hence, a proper monsoon hair care routine is a must.
