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!

RASPBERRY RUSH

I BELIEVE ALL THE THE WOMEN ARE PRETTY WITHOUT MAKEUP BUT WITH THE RIGHT MAKEUP PRETTY POWERFUL

BOBBI BROWN

RASPBERRY RUSH

Fashion and Beauty choices are never predictable. Sometimes you want to go subtle sometimes bold, sometimes glittery and sometimes natural.

I really heart this berry-hued lip colour makeup tutorial. This winter it’s one of the juiciest colours of the season as they say” Berries for Winters”. This berry shade can be toned down for the day and amp for the night and will work on most skin tones. If you love to try this look as much as I did, here is the tutorial:

Let’s start with

FACE

The first thing you notice about this look is that it calls for a fuss-free base.

  • Start with a moisturiser
  • Follow up with a good eye cream. I picked Neutrogena as it suits me a lot.
  • Dab foundation on forehead, cheeks and chin and evenly blend it in with your finger tips or sponge.
  • Using a puff apply pressed powder and buff away with big powder brush.
  • Keep the cheeks bare for optimal look.

EYES

Need to keep the freshness of colours.

  • I am using shimmery and subdued pink eyeshadow all over the eyelids, starting from brow bone extending to lash line. Blend it well with an eyeshadow blending brush.
  • Next, take a small eyeliner brush and create winged liner with eyeshadow in purple. It does’t have to be perfect line, you can even smudge the corners out if you like.
  • Add the finishing touches with two generous coats of a volumising mascara.

LIPS

Depending on how intense you want your lips to look

  • Define the lips with lipstick brush before filling in the colour.
  • Apply two coats of your favourite Matte Lipstick in Raspberry Syrup.

If you notice, the makeup on the eyes is quite subtle and has natural undertones allowing the bold lip colour to stand out. I am in love with this matte Raspberry shade lipstick and always love to experiment with my wardrobe and makeup.

Love the makeup so much that I am going to try this out quite a few times, just love the freshness on the face after finishing the look. Do give it a try and drop a comment in the comment box that how you like it!

Thank you so much for reading! You can watch a tutorial of this amazing makeup look on my INSTAGRAM REEL.

Stay safe! Stay Beautiful from the inside out!

DO YOU LOVE YOUR FACE?

“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.” 

― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

We all love doing makeup, lighter or darker, simple or creative and of various types but do we ever realize the most integral part of our makeup is its tools, which we use to perform all possible looks we want. We use brushes, sponges, spatulas, or maybe Q-tips. Q-tips are the ones you can use and throw, but brushes and sponges are the ones that you hardly tell when they are dirty. Moreover, the brushes which we use for eyeliners or applying foundation seem like they have only product residue. Brush bristles and sponges are both porous; which means they hold onto oils, debris, dead skin and even bacteria.

So all my beauty with brains friends out there answers me with one simple question? What is the point of spending thousands of bucks on expensive skin care products, when you are directly giving germs-free access?

Let me tell you a very important thing guys. Sometimes just because of the time crunch or just being lazy, we can easily get infected by our own makeup tools because they can be a breeding ground for different kinds of viruses, fungi and bacteria. These can be present in the air all the time and accumulate over time and can enter your bloodstream through even the finest cuts on your face and cause infections. This is the biggest reason why we wonder about breakouts, rashes and other allergic reactions which directly lead to dull and unhealthy skin.

I mean.. it hardly took minutes to clean your makeup brushes and sponges. You only have to gently put them in mild water and applying soap, you can even go for a baby shampoo too if available.

The correct way of doing it is here:

Wet the bristles with lukewarm water and place the drop of cleanser or shampoo into the palm of your hand. Then gently massage the tips of the bristles. Rinse off with cold water. Do not introduce the base of the brush head with water, soap or detergent as it will lead to the loss of the bristles from there resulting in the destruction of your makeup tool.

After rinsing it properly, clean it with a towel, reshape the brush and let it dry with its bristles hanging off the edge of the counter. This would intact the shape of your brush. No drying on a towel.

As well as for the sponges you can soak them up in lukewarm water and shampoo solution, Sponges dry quickly.

Important note: don’t use a bathing bar as it will dry out the bristles and they will be no softer, so don’t use them. A weekly wash is good enough for face tools. If possible do clean the eyeshadow brushes on a daily basis as recommended by the dermatologist, to avoid various eye infections.

My only advice to all of you is just to protect your skin from any damage by simply keeping your makeup tools neat and clean. All the best to you for all the make-up you are planning for the coming festive season.

Stay Beautiful-Stay Healthy- Stay Happy
