Skin care 2022✨

May 17, 2022 Sehr 2 Comments

You guys! I cannot put into words how much i’m in Love with, “The Glow Recipe” products. Their formulas are gentle yet effective. They’re AMAAA-ZING! I regret not knowing about this brand in the past. They literally have fruit extracts in their products and they’re clinically proven. I have no guilt of whatsoever on spending my pocket money on their products. IT LEFT MY SKIN PLUMPED UP AND GLOWY! And the glow was just so beautiful and came right from within.

Also i’ve said this earlier as well, Your makeup only looks good if your skin is good. My skin is sensitive to new products. And Glow recipe was the thing which went on so well for my skin. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin and someone who doesn’t mind going an extra mile for their skin care routine.

The first step is that I use a good cleanser ( I currently am using the one from neutrogena one)

This face wash does not over dry my face at all nor does it feel like my skin is getting stretched even though it contains Salicylic Acid. I got mine from a shop (Naheed) in Karachi, so if you live in Pakistan you can get it from there or Alfatah.

The second step is to apply/spray on a good toner or rose water. I don’t mind using local brands like Saeed Ghani & Marhaba rose water or you can use Thayers/Mario Badescu. Just a quick reminder you should store your rose water spray/bottle in the refrigerator to give a super cool feeling.

Next we move on to the serum step, when my face is half dry I just add a pump or a bit more of my favourite Glow recipe Niacinamide serum;

Words would not be enough to describe how much I love this serum and how amazing it feels on my skin. It has Watermelon extract, Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid. This serum goes well with all skin types so this is pretty much a safe investment.

Moving on, I let this amazing serum to settle in and absorb completely on my skin and then I apply any of my two favourite Glow Recipe moisturiser;

I use them on alternate times(depending on my mood) I’ll use one in the morning after a cleanser, toner and serum and before my sunblock. For my night time routine I just follow all the steps and just don’t put on a sunblock. These two are the safest moisturiser investments. They’re hydrating and give your skin a plumped up glow. And always remember to never ever neglect your neck area while taking care of your face.

The last step is sunblock (after my morning routine). I personally love Neutrogena Products because they’re easily accessible in my country. I am currently using this sunblock;

I would never advice anyone to buy any high-end skin care products or makeup from local department stores in Pakistan (no matter how huge they may be).Temperature control is everything! You can invest on Neutrogena and Loreal since these are drug store products. At times certain products need to be kept in cool temperatures or else they will do more damage than good. Try ordering your products from trusted pages (there are many operating these days) instead. It’s safe to get locally manufactured products instead of that. I once ordered The Ordinary Hyaluronic Serum from a local shop (wont name it) but my skin started breaking out after using that product. I never had this issue in the past so it just got on my nerves, this explains my choice of my face cleanser/wash. I had previously used this serum bought from somewhere else and it went well on my skin; but this particular shop had no temperature control nothing! Glow recipe literally rescued my skin, THANK GOD.

In the end i’d like to tell you always apply sunblock with an SPF 50+ even if you don’t plan on going out it does wonders to your skin!

Have an Amazing day!✨❤️

Skin Care Routine – Part 2 (Featuring Kiehl’s Products)

September 6, 2019 Sehr Leave a comment

Hey guys,

I hope you all are having an amazing day. So today’s blog will be about my new skin care routine. I am highly obsessed with some of the Kiehl’s products, and would definitely recommend it anyone with sensitive to dry skin. NOT ACNE PRONE SKIN.

I do this skin care routine twice max thrice a day. Once in the morning, other time when I want to wash off make up (mid day) and lastly before going to bed. I double cleanse my face, Tone it and apply a corrective or hydrating Serum and lastly put on a moisturizer.

Here is a list of my GO TO PRODUCTS:

Cleansing Step 1

This is what I clean my face with before washing it off with a facial cleanser. Either the Micellar water with cotton pads or just these amazing wipes. I absolutely love these cleansing wipes, easily takes off the stubborn water proof mascara and the full coverage makeup. No matter how much I love make up i need it off my face ASAP! As soon as I get home the first thing I do is grab some wipes and follow the next steps.

Cleansing Step 2:

So this is my final cleansing part. I usually use the Mask of Magnaminty from Lush Cosmetics in the morning when waking up. I put it on for a good amount of time, 10-15 minutes. This gives my face a cooling sensation, thanks to all that mint. I use the Kiehl’s ultra facial cleanser other times throughout the day, like when I want to wash my face when coming back home or when I do my skincare routine before going to bed. This makes my skin feel AMAZING! This does not overly dry your skin and even good for people with acne prone skin, since it is super mild.

Tone Step 3:

I recently switched to these two amazing toners. I actually choose the one i want to use according to my mood, no time in particular. It has been almost close to a month since I have been using both it amazing products. The Kiehl’s Calendula actually works wonders for people with Acne or if they have an acne prone skin, but it works good for people with sensitive skin too since it’s alcohol free. Pixi Glow Tonic makes me feel great in general, I always put it on when i’m in a good mood and i want my skin to feel great too. Both these products are worth every dollar or rupee!

Step 4 Serum:

I have two serums and i’m absolutely in love with both of them. I use one in my morning skin care routine and the other one in my night skin care routine. I got both these products from Kiehl’s and it has been over 2 months since I’ve started using both of these amazing serums. I use the Daily Reviving Concentrate after my morning skin care routine and Midnight Recovery Concentrate after my night time skin care routine. Both of these oils leave my skin feel AMAZING! I won’t be recommending this to anyone having an acne prone skin, it works best for normal to dry skin.

Step 5 Treating Those Gorgeous Eyes:

I always wanted to invest in a good eye cream but was not really sure for which one to go for. Then I heard a lot of people reviewing and recommending Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado. I will definitely recommend this to anyone reading this if they to want to invest in a great eye cream, this isn’t fancy but it does an amazing JOB!

Step 6 Moisturize:

My Favorite Body Shop Products

March 26, 2018 Sehr 2 Comments

Hey Guys,

I hope you all are having an amazing day. So today I’ll be telling you guys about my favorite Body Shop Products. The Body shop is a British cosmetic and skin care company. I have a combination skin which is a bit sensitive too. So my skin tends to get dry in winters like everyone else and it gets a bit oily on the t-zone during summers.

I absolutely love the Tea Tree Range. It works wonders for people with acne or acne prone skin. It’s really good for combination skin and it does not over dry your face. And it helps clearing out blemishes. I’ve personally used 3 products from this range.

Tea Tree Skin Clearing Clay Mask – $17

Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash – $14

Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanse – $15Final verdict: If you have an acne prone, blemished skin which also tends to get oily this range and these face wash will help you fight your skin problems. This entire range is for people with blemished skin and acne prone skin. They also have cooling properties.

My next favorite range is the Vitamin E. This range is again for people with sensitive and dry skin. As my skin gets super dry during the winters I switch to the Vitamin E range. My 2 favorite Vitamin E products are:

Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash – $6

Vitamin E Eye Cream – $19.50

Final Verdict: I would definitely recommend the vitamin E range to anyone who has a dry to sensitive skin. This face wash has non drying properties. I recently started doing a lot of eye makeup and the area around my eyes has gotten really dry. So I started using this Vitamin E eye Cream and it has helped a lot in fighting the dryness.

This next range has an amazing fragrance. I’m talking about the Strawberry range. I absolutely love strawberries and any moisturizer with its fragrance is just so cute. I tried two products from this range and I would recommend it to everyone, since it’s just too good.

Strawberry Hand Cream – $6

Strawberry Lip Butter – $7

body shop 7

Final Verdict: We need hand and lip moisturizer throughout the year, be in summers or winters. Hence this is the most safest investment you can make. And they have an AAA-MAZING scent. Would definitely recommend both of these products.

Stay tuned for more!♥
