There's a sudden wave of science and ingredient-backed skincare which I appreciate very much. But lately, it has made things way more complicated than they should be. A good contribution has been made by tiktok in general in screwing people's mind with blanket statements.😭

So I wanted to cancel the noise and give you some simplified tips that you can go back to when shopping for a new sunscreen.

‼️Don't obsess over UV filters and their stability because there's no way you could know how the different ingredients work together in the product. That being said, due to the loose and non-existent regulations we have here, shop from brands you trust!‼️

I've used the @drsheths Neem & BHA serum like an emergency treatment whenever I could feel my skin was congested and it always reduced it with 2-3 uses. (gifted)

I also use it on my shoulder and upper arms, and it is taking care of the clogged pores.

But the texture is just not good, it sits on your skin and makes it impossible for you to layer any other product over it. Even in the morning, when I wash my face I can actually feel the layer coming off.

Decent in terms of results but the texture is very difficult to work with. I don't like it sorry😭

‼️So far, TO Salicylic Acid is my fav SA treatment, the texture is much better (can't believe I'd say this for TO, LOL) I'll try Paula's Choice BHA next, unless you have any other suggestion? 👀 Shoot in the comment section.‼️

It's been months since I first got my hands on the COSRX Snail Mucin Essence and I haven't put it down even once. Quantity wise, I have almost half of it left which makes this product super cost-effective.

Today, I want you to tell me who influenced you into trying this cult favourite essence? Let me know in the comment section below.

I also did a full blog review on this - the right way to use it, how it helps your skin, what to expect from it and so on. The link🔗 is in my bio.

Not y'all in my DMs defending mineral sunscreens over this story just like you defend your toxic exes.😂 Anyway, I had another post planned for today but chuck it. I'll tell you why I think using mineral sunscreens is equivalent to being in a toxic relationship.

Mineral/Physical/Inorganic sunscreens leave a white cast and/or pill really bad. You have to pat, wait for centuries for it to settle and brush off the crumbles from your brows and hairline. Re-applying is another trouble and I don't even want to get into it. Imagine doing all the work to still look like Casper the ghost👻 at the end of the day. (Especially when you're a POC)

How is it different than being in a toxic relationship where you're putting in so much work, it's mentally draining you and you still end up heartbroken?

If you find that a lot of Western sunscreens (*coughs* Neutrogena) sting or make eyes watery, try Korean sunscreens. (Or Japanese). If they're not easily accessible, considering most of my subscribers are Indian, try Re'equil or all the Indian pharma brands.

PS: Please use what works for you, it's between you and your brow hair. When you have certain skin conditions or when you're pregnant, mineral sunscreens are generally recommended so yeah ignore me I'm just being an 🍑.

𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦 - Happy 32nd Dec, 2020 (we're not moving to next year, I said what I said) This month, I mostly had haircare empties with one face product. Here are my thoughts on them:

✨@thebodyshopindia 𝗚𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗼 - If you have itchy scalp and mild seasonal dandruff, this works very well. On my oily scalp it was okay but I think it can be drying for others.

✨@theearthrhythm 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗼 - My first time using a shampoo bar and the experience was perfect. Cut it in 4 parts and it lasted a very long time too. Always left my hair suuuper soft post shampoo.

✨@blenditrawbeauty 𝗛𝗲𝗺𝗽 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗶𝗹 - I used it as a hair serum and it always left my strands soft and bouncy. I even skipped conditioner, just shampoo and move straight to this oil on damp hair. Don't sleep on hemp seed oil for your hair. (gifted)

✨@feelrawbotanicals 𝗣𝗛𝗔 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿 - It was a 2-in-1 product, mildly exfoliating and super hydrating. For face, 100% loved it but for body it's too mild, I need stronger acids cuz PHA doesn't cut it. Shelf life is short & quantity is large to be used just on face. I wish it came in 75ml or something bottle.

✨@wellaindia 𝗗𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗼 - I'm not an avid dry shampoo user but I like to have one just in case. This was super old and got the job done, provided you know how to use it. It also gave a very nice volume to my limp hair.
