My Skin Diary - September 2013

Ok, so, I can see my entire life changing in front of me now. And, now is the main time to take care of my skin :D So, what all did I do in September? I was pretty serious about using sunscreen this month. And, now I have run out of my favorite one so I need to replenish it in my shelf.

Guess what, MVO has started charging shipping for India. It has become so damn expensive so I have to wait till my friend comes from US and I have asked her to get me a few bottles. Till that time, I have to survive on lesser spf. Well, hopefully, I should not get too tanned.

So, I did not really do anything much to my skin. Yes, one experiment I did was removing makeup everyday using Oil Cleansing Method. It worked out really well for a few days in the starting but then I thought my skin was not really accepting such a heavy treatment everyday so I left it at that!! So, I would suggest OCM only once a week at max. Do not do it everyday. Ciao with another post tomorrow. Its a bridal update post :D

How did your skin do in September?

Tips to Quick Skin Care Routine {Skin Care}

I am a very very lazy person as you all would already be aware! So, I am always on the look out on how to shorten the skin care routine. So, let me share some of my shortcuts which do not really compromise on the quality of skin care.

Use Shower Time Optimally

If you use homemade face washes cum masks like besan mixed with something, keep the mix of the flours or powders in enough quantity to atleast last you a week in a handy jar. Take a scoop and mix with water or milk and apply a thick paste while you get ready for your shower.

Switch on the geyser, choose your clothes for the day or do other miscellaneous works in which the mask dries off a bit. If using a face wash instead, get into the shower, use that and follow with a face scrub and then apply a thin layer of a face mask. (I hate to apply face mask separately after shower because it involves so much of washing up and don't forget your neck!!) Use body gloves for a quick and thorough scrub. Rinse, wipe off and moisturize.

And, when you have a bit of time like on holidays or in the evenings when you feel like pampering yourself, finish the shower and then apply the face mask on damp skin and wait for 15-20 minutes. In the mean time, wash off the clothes which you need to. And, then, finish off with a final shower completely before proceeding with after shower routine. And, always moisturize on damp skin.

Hair Wash Time

When washing your hair, shampoo and rinse. Again, shampoo and rinse. Condition. While you wait for the conditioner to soak in, shave off or give a pedicure and manicure to your feet hands or wash your combs and brushes or better yet, cut your nails!! After the task is done, finish rinsing your hair with cool to cold water. Follow with regular body routine.

I can not think any more of shortcuts or shall we say time-saving tips. Do you have any such tips?

The Green Beauty Skin Care Tag [Part - I] {Skin Care}

Thanks Vivi for tagging me :) And, I am excited to do this post! I have never really done any such posts so let's see how I fare :-)

Describe your routine in 5 words.

Simple, Lazy, Natural, Lazy, Sleep

I keep my routine simple and natural and extra stress on lazy because I am really lazy and sleep because it cures everything!

What's your skin type?

Combination with oil tendency in summers and dry in all other seasons. I am 27 now and I do not use any anti-aging product yet. In dilemma if I really need it.

What's your favorite skin product?

I love oils. More exotic it is, more my tendency to use it. Till date, I have loved all oils I have used but best among them is apricot oil. And, I do love Rustic Art Aloevera gel in commercial products.

Top Blemish Zapper?

I never really had problem with blemishes coz my skin does heal itself in the course of time but I do believe honey helps a bit! And, proper routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing helps for sure!!

Face Wipes - Yay or Nay?

I am against face wipes in a daily routine basis but they are life saviors when it comes to travelling or during emergencies. But, please do not use them to wipe off sweat. The film it leaves behind can clog the pores!

Toner - Yay or Nay?

After a long stint with toners, I would say yes. If applied before immediate moisturization, it helps keep the skin hydrated and supple for a longer time.

High-end skincare or makeup?

You know the answer already. Skincare!!

What's the most unusual skincare product I have tried?

I do not think I have tried anything weird on my face yet. I can say that first time I used face mask on my face was pretty weird for me!!

Since I am typing this on my mobile, my hands are tired so I shall finish this post in another part. Oh btw, I would love to hear your answers to each of the questions above so do not forget to answer them :-)
