HAVE YOU DETOXED YOUR SKIN? WHILE WORKING AT HOME

Healing your tired skin isn’t just about skipping makeup products; its all about following a detox practice.

-sweta

As we spend most of our time indoors, it is the best chance to detox our bodies and facial skin. As most of us still continue to work from home, it’s the right time to do a skin detox. Soothe your skin from the inside out by following a healthy diet, a skin cleansing routine, and an acne care regimen to help the skin shed toxins and maintain its glow. We need to intensely cleanse the deep-seated impurities, the stale particles of makeup, and the dead skin that, obviously is stored in the pores.

Let me share simple home care tips and tricks for an effective facial detox at home:

GET STEAMY

Steam clears up the pores and aids in loosening any build-up of dust for a deeper cleanse. Steaming opens the pores and softens blackheads or whiteheads allowing them to be gently extracted. The mixture of mild steam and water expands the blood vessels and boosts circulation.

EXFOLIATE

As you get older, the skin’s ability to shed dead skin cells begins to degrade, and it leads to dry and patchy skin that cannot receive any sort of nutrient-rich product that is applied to it. So, make sure to apply a mild exfoliant to have your skin shining and bright, even if you’re not going anywhere. The upper layer of your skin can be detoxified with exfoliation, but to enter the deeper layers and serve an intense cleanse hydration and nourishment are of utmost importance. I use Cetaphil gentle Scrub which is an amazing good product for skin routine.

HYDRATE YOUR SKIN

Hydrating and soothing toners cleanse the skin, reduce redness, and hydrate it. Sometimes a cleanser does not remove all the dust and oils from the face, and they can leave a residue. A toner will remove all this leftover dirt and give the face s fresh and refreshed look. It’s essential to use the toner after cleansing and before applying a moisturizer. This easy three-step method is sure to make your skin clean and bright. Clean the face with a mild cleanser to remove the oil from the skin, then use toner to remove the leftover dirt, and then apply moisturizer to hydrate the skin.

MASK UP

Product build-up and anxiety can take a toll on the skin and make it seem dark and dull. It’s necessary to pamper the skin with a detox session and keep it healthy. Clay masks are excellent for this purpose; they bring out dirt, absorb excess oil and unclog the pores. But I used a cucumber hydrating mask from K-beauty for super hydration. Add a mask to your skincare habit and use it two to three times a week for fresh, clear skin.

APPLY SUNSCREEN

The skin can get exposed to UV rays indoors as well. Regular windows can block out UVB rays to some extent, but they can’t tackle skin-damaging UVA rays, continued exposure to which can make the skin more prone to early ageing. So, use sunscreen indoors and reapply it every two to three hours to avoid dry-looking, distressed skin.

Detoxing your skin involves a combination of beneficial practices to restore its natural radiance and health. Whether harnessing the power of steam to open up your pores and promote deep cleansing. The gentle exfoliation that follows helps remove dead skin cells, allowing your skin to breathe freely or treat yourself to a refreshing cucumber mask, known for its soothing properties and ability to rejuvenate tired skin. Shield your newly revitalized skin from harmful sun rays with a layer of sunscreen, preserving its youthful glow and preventing damage. Complete your detox routine with toner and cleanser, working together to remove any remaining impurities and balance your skin’s pH level, leaving it feeling fresh, renewed, and ready to face the day with confidence.

Hoping you guys try at least two to three products to detoxify your skin and achieve hydration effortlessly.

HOW TO NAIL METAL MIX LOOK: Here is a guide to mix metals

I love tie dye, metallic, and anything stands out in terms of fashion. If its fun and unique, I am into it..

Jeffree Star

In this post, I would like to show you how to mix metallic shades to achieve the look you may never try and might give thought to trying out this festive season. Let me show how you can channel this look nonchalantly. Always start with eyeshadow. Metallic eyeshadow is always my preference whether it’s copper, silver, burnt gold or platinum all are mainstays for this awesome look which is absolutely stunning for every occasion. But just one shade doesn’t cut the mustard anymore. We need to try mixing shades.

To start with this look, you have to follow a simple guide to mixing metals:

  1. Sweep any metallic eyeshadow of your choice on your whole eyelid. I chose metallic silver for the post.

2. Smudge a bit of grey eyeshadow along the inner and outer corners of the eye connected to the crease. As you can see in the pictures below.

Since the look is all about metals, don’t forget to add Mascara generously; even better if you choose voluminous Mascara, which goes aptly with metallic shades.

For a chiselled look, contour your cheekbones for definition.

To keep the whole look focused on metallic eyeshadow, apply a muted lip balm that will enhance the natural colour of your lips.

PS: Watch for the cut-off point, some of us have natural double lids, but if you have hooded lids, raise the colour a little higher to make it more dramatic.

Most of us really want to experiment with different dressings, hairstyles and makeup. Going metallic in your dressing or makeup never hurts moreover it brings that thrill or stirs to your whole personality. My purpose for sharing this small little guide on mixing metal is; that you should come out of your regular makeup look and have some fun. Shine a little with this metal mix and enjoy the festive season with your loved ones!!

Thanks for reading!

Stay Safe and Stay Healthy

” Makeup is an extraordinary tool that allows me to share my inspirations, my fantasies, and my vision with the world”

PAT McGRATH

Glittery eye accents and warm highlights are definite standouts for any season, especially when we are transforming from one season to another. And taking this to newer heights by trying on earthy tones is a bang-on! My love for earthy tones will never end and also it’s my mantra when I am not planning to go overboard and keep it close to simple. Earthy shades always glam up the whole look by keeping it subtle which other shades or colour palettes rarely do. You can play any which way with these earthy shades as they rarely go wrong and can be experimental any time you want.

Let me decode one such makeup look which includes all earthy shades from head to toe as you can accessorize this look with a proper hairdo and take this to next level.

Like previous tutorials again we have to focus on three major areas to nail this look!

Let me start with:

CHEEKS

  • Moisturise your skin, I used Aveeno Moisturiser the best suitable for any skin type.
  • Will use bronzer in the end, not now.

EYES

  • Choose an ordinary eyliner, I used Nyx Eyeliner make it winged liner to enhance the look.
  • Well shaped Eyebrows is a bonus feature to add with this.
  • Glam it up with gold or bronze accents.
  • This eye makeup involves a warm metallic earthy shade for an eyeshadow as per your skin tone, I used L’oreal Infalliable Eyeshadow.
  • Swipe up the mascara to amp up the look.
  • You can slightly play with the eyes by giving hint of metallic dab to inner and outer corners.

LIPS

  • This look demands something ingenious to go with.
  • Just a hint of nude gloss lipstick, I used L’oreal Pro Gloss lipstick.
  • Yes, you are right! not a right time to wear statement lips as we are looking for overall earthy look for a face. So nothing works best then Nudes.

Finally, give a hint of bronzer to the cheeks which belong to an earthy colour palette for finishing!

Not to mention, to augment the whole look I opted for a voluminous top knot with geometrical earrings.

Everything on the face feels so real and natural with a hint of metallic glam but still ethereal and that’s the whole beauty of this makeup do! I hope you guys like it and give it a try for your next night out with family or friends.

Stay safe, Keep Smiling!

Thank you so much for reading!

TOUCH IT! AND BLEND OVER

BLEND IN YOUR OWN WAY

Anonymous

Wishing you had the kind of flawless, glowing complexion that only the soft-focus filter on your phone camera seems to achieve? Let’s introduce you to a real-world miracle worker, the Makeup Sponge. A beauty tool that helps you blend your foundation perfectly, the sponge ensures even coverage and is pretty easy to use, once you’ve learnt a few basic tricks.

INVINCIBLE EGG

The makeup sponge has been around for a long time. The most common ones were the stiff, triangle-shaped ones that were used to even out pancake foundations. But they had their own drawbacks, so when the egg-shaped Beauty Blender was created by Makeup artist Rea Ann Silva in 2002, it pretty much took the world by storm.

There are many makeup sponges available in the market and picking the right one makes a big difference. The sponge is soft on the skin and, unlike makeup brushes, it does not emphasize dry patches and flakiness.

SUPER SPONGE

These days makeup sponges are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and colours to suit every need. While the iconic egg-shaped Beauty Blender occupies a special position in most beauty kits. The best part is that they are available in all possible sizes. The really tiny ones are brilliant to use on the under eyes area. A few come with flat surfaces as well, which work perfectly for contour lines.

WHEN BUYING MAKEUP SPONGE

When buying a makeup sponge, look for something that is soft and porous. Small sponges are great for spot application to hide marks on acne. The pointed tip of the sponge is great to target smaller areas of your face such as the corners of the eyes and areas around your nose. The flat surface on some sponges is great for powder application and to cover larger areas on your face.

BLEND BASICS: DO’S AND DONT’S

  • Don’t use a dirty sponge or the same sponge for too many products. Mixing products on a sponge isn’t a great idea.
  • Only use a best quality or you will end up doing more than good.
  • Do not drag or rub the sponge on the skin; instead use a dab or roll motion.
  • After blending the foundation with a brush, dab rather than rub, the blender all over the face make sure you don’t remove products.
  • Dampen the sponge the right way and when you squeeze the waterout.

Blending sponge’s popularity is its versatility. Tend to use it to apply blush, moisturizer, corrector and highlighter to contour, define brows, apply eyeliner and also to tone a look and evenly apply powder on the face.

Blenders are every beauty expert’s go-to tool. You really need it in your life right now to change your beauty game.

I hope you like the post. Thank you for reading!

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL

“Freedom lies in being bold.” 

― Robert Frost

Crazy Times are going on. As we are leading quarantine lives in our safe homes we are experimenting new ideas and make this time as useful as we can, because all we need to do is to pass this time smoothly and safely. Social media is always enraged with beauty and fashion DIY’s tutorials whether it’s quarantine or not

I am not at all professional in making these tutorials for fashion and beauty but as I said earlier we need to keep us busy during this hard time, so what we can do better than keeping ourselves busy doing creative stuff and of course something which is not only creative but easy to execute as well as look fabulous too. One such beauty tutorial which I like to try today is all about boosting your glamour quotient

Marsala, is one such colour which says it all, this red brownish tone is all time rage and little of it can give an instant magnetism which reflects in the whole look

Let’s go!!!!

GET THE LOOK

FACE

  1. Begin with cleansing , toning and moisturising your face
  2. You can apply a good primer to conceal scars and blemishes
  3. Apply BB cream to keep the makeup light( I usually prefer BB cream over foundation)
  4. Let it sit for a minute before you set your base with a compact powder

CHEEKS

  1. Since the focus is on the lips, keep those cheeks subtle
  2. Apply an apricot blush on the apple of your cheeks and blend it with golden highlighter

EYES

  1. Choose a shimmery light golden eye shadow and swipe on the lids
  2. Rim the waterline with a bronze eye pencil
  3. Add a glitter highlighter in the inner corner of your eyes
  4. Blush out the lashes with volumising mascara

LIPS

Especially for the looks like these we focus more on lips

  1. Prepare by moisturising with a good lip balm
  2. Once the lips feel soft and smooth apply a matte marsala shade lip
  3. colour/crayon

Anddd…. you are done!!

Feel that boldness in your look and rock it!

PS: Don’t forget to scrub your lips before starting your makeup. If you don’t have marsala shade lip colour you can blend your red lipstick with brown one to achieve an earthy marsala hue
