How much moisturizer do you use? {Skin Care}

Swathy · September 28, 2018 · 33 Comments

Did you know that you just need a pea size amount of moisturizer for your face??? I am in the league of people who always end up using more than enough of the product, be it any, howsoever much I may try. So, I decided that I would educate you all on this very important issue as it saves our bucks and our skin as well 🙂 Excess of product is really not good for skin as it sits on the skin and ends up clogging the pores.

Just a pea drop!!

I have come to love the pump packaging more than any other as they deliver right amount of pea size we need for covering the face and another for the neck. I always take only a pump and rub my hands and simply press it on to my face starting with cheeks and going all over the face including forehead, nose, chin and skin between lips and nose and of course, the eye area.

On the Shelf Vol. 2 – Face Serums and Oils

Swathy · September 26, 2018 · 2 Comments

Hey all! I am a major hoarder of the face serums and oils and I usually have loads of them in my closet at any given point of time. Interestingly, I ordered for Biotique ageless serum while I am typing away this post. Well, old habits die hard and if you find something interesting and inexpensive being raved about, how can you skip it? So, let me breakdown the products into face serums and oils.

Face Oils

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

Bought a long time back and I have not managed to reach even half of the bottle. You need just a bit and you are good to go. The oil is really light in texture and sometimes not enough to combat the dryness. Overall, I do not have much to say about it except it smells nice thanks to the lavender essential oil.

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalene

I have used it a couple of times but honestly I am not very impressed. I am not sure if I know how to use the product correctly yet but it makes my skin too oily. Anyways, this is a product which is still under trial so reviews are yet to come.

Indulgeo Rose Gold Oil

One of my whim buys which I liked using but I have to use it regularly to say a word about it. For now, I like it as it makes my face glow.

The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics

Have you ever come across a product which is just plain water? Apart from floral waters and mists, of course. Well, the ordinary’s marine hyaluronics is one such product. I was looking for something hydrating to be added in my skin care and this was the better option from the brand so I picked it up.

The Ordinary brand has received loads of buzz in the recent times thanks to its extremely low price range and equally diverse product range. It comes from the umbrella of Deciem, the niche beauty brand which believes in serious skin care. Now, does marine hyaluronics fall in that category?
