My search mode for finding out ‘the perfect skincare products’ is always on. Moreover, if you love using natural ingredients-based products like me, then you know that is an add-on to a lot of extra work and extra bucks. 

It happens to be such an interesting coincidence that Snaana contacted me right when I wanted to try something new. What inspired me to work with them is that they believe in using 100% natural ingredients in their products. 

Nowadays, when the market is full of gimmicky ‘natural’ tags in an innumerable number of products, believing the brands could be a really big deal.

But Snaana’s transparency says it all and leaves no doubt.

I have tried their Goat milk Soap with Malai, Rose Water, and Pomegranate- Tamanu Age Delaying Face Oil for a good month on my skin. And, I think they are worth every penny.

How I use them:

After washing my face with the Goat Milk Soap with Malai, my skin feels soft and supple. The soap gently cleanses the skin without stretching and pulling out the natural oils. Moreover, it provides additional hydration. It smells like an Ayurvedic soap, but its fragrance is not overpowering. According to the brand, this soap is a tonic for “Dry, flaky & dehydrated skin and eczema-prone skin.”

I spritz the Rose water all over my face after washing the face. The fragrance is just delightful, and I feel like I am inside a spa. The rose water is gentle and soothing for the skin. I get redness around my nose after cleaning my face. It instantly calms my skin with subtle hydration.

I let it sit on the face for 30 seconds, and then I take about 3 to 4 drops of Pomegranate- Tamanu Age Delaying Face Oil. I dab the oil on my skin to warm it up. I gently massage to spread it evenly. The oil is nongreasy, very lightweight, and very hydrating. It gives a sheen to the skin, which I love. It smells like gentle ayurvedic oil, and the good part, my skin feels rejuvenated the next day. It has Jojoba oil, Almond Seed Oil, Pomegranate Seed Oil, Tamanu Oil, Cucumber Seed Oil, Turmeric Essential Oil, Rosemary Essential Oil, and Frankincense Essential Oil. There is nothing but ayurvedic goodness in a glass bottle.

All these products are 100% natural, chemical-free, and preservative free. If you are keen to know about the benefits of a particular product, head over to their website snaana.com. Everything I believe should be in a skincare product are in the skincare range of Snaana. The soap and the Facial oil work their best on matured skin (30- 59 years as per brand).

I will provide links to buy all the products below if you wish to check them out. But remember the mantra: don’t forget to patch test before using anything new.

When options are limited, we gotta choose what is available, right! But what if there are ample of options? Then, we get confused so easily. Do we need this or that?

 As a picky skincare fanatic, I study and research a lottttt. What would be the best thing for my skin. It is changing so fast with age. But what to use and what not? Such a monumental task (I am kidding!!!)

Well…if someone who knows my skin, helps me with the perfect routine, I can save so much time and energy of my life. That’s no joke. But… that’s rare to find. So, I had to dig deep and find out the best routine to save my skin from the winter. Hopefully, this helps you too.

 First off, we have cleanser.

A mild cleanser which doesn’t strip away the natural oils from your skin would be the best for winter morning. For that, I love my Just Herbs Silksplash Rehydrant Face Wash. It’s natural, ultra-mild and cleans beautifully even though it doesn’t lather much. Except their really irritating pump (you need to pour the product somewhere else), I love it. See a full review HERE

Alright… I prefer to scrub my face once a week. And for that, I mostly go for homemade scrub which provides me a little hydration as well. What about a nourishing pack made of honey, coffee granules, little bit of brown sugar, and aloe vera gel? Wooo… just perfect. Put it on for 10 minutes, let it dry a bit and then gently scrub it off your face.

Well… after this don’t forget to take steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Your pores are already unclogged because of the exfoliation, so it works the best.

Next stop, we have Toner. And, I have the perfect solution. I don’t recommend chemical exfoliating toner for winter because your skin is already dry and broken because of the strong winter wind. It already lacks moisture and hydration. Why to tear it more with harsh chemical peels? So, to me organic mists are the gentlest way of toning your skin.  
I recommend the Kama Ayurveda Rose Water Mist (review HERE)

 
or the Juicy Chemistry 100% Organic Lavender Water. (check out HERE)

 
Now, if you are scrubbing your face, use a hydrating face pack, or just move into the next step. It’s time to seal your skin with some hydration. If I am going out, I use a light Moisturizer like Clinique Moisture Surge. But if I am home, I top it up with a facial oil. My current favorite is the Juicy Chemistry Saffron and Red Raspberry Facial Oil.

 
 
 
Don’t forget to hydrate those chapped lips too with your favorite lip balm. I can't think of anything else except my Laneige Berry Lip Sleeping Mask. It is a dream product for your lips.
 
And last but not the least, use a Sunscreen, no matter you are home or going out. Since the last couple of years, I opted for mineral sunscreen. I am loving the La Shield Fisico SPF 50+ & PA+++ Mineral Based Sunscreen Gel. Its very lightweight, gives a matt finish, non-greasy, and doesn’t leave a white cast. Pure love…

 
I am sure this post will help you prepping for a winter skin care. Stay tuned for a relaxing and rejuvenating night time skin care routine.
 
Cheers…

I am a big fan of Organic Face Mists, especially because of their multipurpose use. And when it’s summer, they are literally my go to skin care. These facial mists work excellently as toners. They tighten up the pores, prep my skin for moisturizer, and keep me hydrated. I love to use them in my face mask too. And what makes them special is that whenever my skin feels rough, dull, and lifeless in the heat, I spritz some mist and instantly feel rejuvenated.

I have tried sooooo many mists over the years. Not all of them turned out as effective as I expected. But there are five facial mists who are my absolute favorites and most importantly, they work wonderfully on my skin.  

•     Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water

Full review HERE.

•     Juicy Chemistry Lavender Water
•     Forest Essentials Facial Tonic Mist – Panchpushp
•     Kama Ayurveda Pure Mogra Water
•     Kama Ayurveda Vetiver Water

Every single facial mist mentioned above are amazingly beneficial for skin. They maintain the skin’s natural ph balance, excellent for calming an inflamed skin. If you are prone to acne or heat rashes, these mists will come really handy. 

While Rose Water has antibacterial properties, Vetiver Water clarifies and tightens the skin. Lavender Water is anti-inflammatory and Mogra Water cleanses the pores and soothes the mind. 

Lastly, Panchpushp Water is extremely hydrating and provides a cooling sensation to the skin which is what we look for in the Summers, isn’t it!

So, keeping a travel friendly bottle in your purse is an excellent solution to beat the heat when you are outside.

What are you waiting for! Spritz some cooling mists, relax yourself, and stay fresh in the Summer.

Cheers!!!
