5 Reasons Why You Must Apply Sunscreen Everyday

Swathy · May 2, 2018 · Leave a Comment

never skip sunscreen, apply sunscreen always

Updated from 8th June, 2016. As much as I can preach to the choir about the benefits of sunscreen, I can not reap those benefits myself. I am lazy and have a very undisciplined routine in that way. But, I can see the dark spots and blemishes and hyperpigmentation on the skin on my bad days which acts as a constant reminder to why one should apply sunscreen diligently. So, check out the five reasons not to skip this routine.


As much as I love to preach that you should NEVER skip sunscreen, it is one rule I can never follow thoroughly. Either my laziness or the feel when I apply anything on my skin stops me from pursuing the course.

Having said that, I always try to start the routine and maintain it successfully as much as I can. Thus, I know the difference in the skin when you regularly apply sunscreen and when you discontinue it. So, lets see what you lose by not following the number one skin care rule.

5 Reasons Why You Must Apply Sunscreen Everyday

Sun damage is cumulative. The damage an be minimized with proper protection and skin care routine over a period of time but skin never really recovers from the damage already wrought on it. So, beware when you decide to skip the sunscreen next time.

Quality of Skin Changes

You would notice a marked change in the quality of your skin. If you skip sunscreen, your skin becomes a little tough and looses the plumpness which it naturally has and it has nothing to do with lack of hydration. It is something very subtle and indefinable but you feel it when you have alternated in the periods of putting on sunscreen and skipping it.

Kiehl’s Vitamin C Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate Serum

Swathy · March 30, 2018 · 7 Comments

Kiehl’s Vitamin C Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate Serum

Vitamin C along with hyaluronic acid has become the latest trending skin care ingredient. Kiehl’s Vitamin C is one of the products in the market with 10% vitamin C concentration. Vitamin C is great at reducing pigmentation, induces collagen production, protects skin from sun rays, fight breakouts, exfoliating the skin and improving the hydration levels of skin to a certain extent.  It is applied before sunscreen to boost the protection and in the night to improve skin quality. If used alone, Vitamin C serums are drying in nature so they do control oil production as well.

Never apply vitamin C serums on damp skin. Vitamin C gets neutralized on contact with water. It must be the first product to go on your skin.

Kiehl’s Vitamin C Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate Serum

Price : Rs 5000 for 30ml

Yes, very expensive but it lasted for me at least 3-4 months easily using two pumps once a day and I am still left with one third of the bottle. Kiehl’s Vitamin C is yellowish in color and a bit drying to touch but I found that it can be used alone as well. It has hyaluronic acid so it hydrates as well. The feel of the serum is a little papery and does not require a lot of blending in. Apply in dots and just pat it all over. It makes my skin a little dewy but controls the oil production and shine to a little extent. Applying this makes it easy for me to use a little more sunscreen.

Inveda Argan Oil & Dragon Fruit Facial Kit

Inveda Argan Oil & Dragon Fruit Facial Kit product review

This is the second facial kit I got from Inveda, the first being Passion Fruit. Looks like exotic fruits are the way to go. Anyways, so let me start by saying that though the passion kit did not really manage to impress me, I do love this dragon fruit facial kit.

Inveda Argan Oil & Dragon Fruit Facial Kit Product Review

Price : Rs 245

Availability : Online Website

Packaging

I have the same thing to say again. It would have been better packaged in small tubes instead of sachets just like I said for the passion fruit facial kit.
