How often should you change your pads? {Your Opinion}

· · 12 Comments

Ok, so I would like to ask all of you a question today. During the period days, how often do you change your pads?
The reason I am asking is from two concerns – hygiene and blood flow. Now, some people suffer from excessive blood flow for which they have to change the pads very frequently. But, what about the hygiene aspect? Well, you are getting so many awesome products in the market which give complete protection lasting up to a day also. BUT, even if your blood flow is not heavy, the dry blood in the pad acts as a stimulant for bacterial growth and there is a certain type of bacteria which causes vaginal infection so you should change the pads once in every 4-6 hours so as to avoid the infection.Also share your opinions on:

How many products do you layer on your face? {Your Opinion}

· · 6 Comments

So, how many products do you apply on your face every morning and night and I am not talking about makeup here. Just skin care products.

Morning Routine
  • Toner
  • Serum (optional)
  • Moisturizer (with spf optional)
  • Sunscreen
  • Eye Cream
  • Compact / Foundation to give a matte effect or dewy look
Night Routine
  • Toner
  • Serum / Facial Oil (optional)
  • Night Cream
  • Eye Cream
When one applies so many products on their skin, it is pretty much a possibility that the products may break you out or the products might not be compatible with each other. And, there is another possibility – the products may clog the pores big time!!! So, it is always better to keep the routines simple and use minimal products so as to let the skin not be suffocated.

So, how many products do you prefer to use? 

How long do you leave the conditioner? {Tip of the Day}

Ok, so hair care routines are not very easy to follow and varies from person to person depending on their hair types and textures but I really would like to get an idea on certain topics which keep me confused and this is one of them? How do you know how long should you keep the conditioner on?Well, here is what I do? Squeeze out all the water by gently pressing the hair after shampooing it. You can use a cotton cloth if you want so as to remove the excess water. Now, apply conditioner from the level of your ears and cover the length of the hair and concentrate on the ends. Keep the conditioner for 5-7 minutes instead of just applying and washing it out. After 5 minutes, you can wash out the conditioner. But, if I am using a hair mask too, I like to keep the hair mask for around 5-7 minutes and wash out the conditioner in just 1-2 minutes.
