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…
Happy Living… 

The sweet summer is here and so is the heat which is not at all sweet, ehh! Summer has its charms and I love it. But at the same time, it is so difficult to manage my sensitive combination skin in this season. Sometimes my skin gets dried and irritated because of the strong heatwave, and other times the acne and pimples take over to add on. Uffff!

But this summer, it’s gonna be a different story. Why? Because I have found Deyga Organics, an Indian Organic Skincare brand, who has come up with their beautiful Clear Skin Combo. Deyga kindly has sent me two of their best-selling products, a gorgeous Charcoal Bath Bar and a very soothing Aloe Vera gel and I am all smiles with these two products as the timing and the season are just perrrrrfect 😉.

Deyga crafts and curates its products with love. The products are 100% Pure, Cruelty-free, and Natural. The brand creates each of its products following the age-old traditional recipes.

According to the brand, “Our Ingredients are 100% Natural. Natural ingredients originate from nature and ONLY undergo chemical changes due to biological processes such as fermentation, distillation, and cold processing… OUR PRODUCTS DO NOT CONTAIN SLS, SLES, Parabens, MEA, DEA, TEA, Petrolatum, Phthalates, Ethoxylates, and Silicones.”

Deyga’s Aloe Vera Gel :

My skincare is incomplete without using Aloe Vera. I love it to the core, especially in the Summer. I have been using Deyga’s Aloe Vera Gel for 2 weeks now. And I am simply loving it. I love the fact that this gel is completely fragrance-free, supercooling, and non-greasy. 

It is a beautiful, translucent Aloe Vera Gel. 

It is so healing for my hormonal acne and pimples and calming for the heat rashes.

This gel has a self-life of 6 months.

 Deyga uses Aloe Barbadensis (Cold Pressed) Aloe Vera Extract, Aloe Hydrosol, and Geogard ECT (Certified natural preservative) in it. 

You can feel this gel is au-natural when you use it.

I admire the fact that the brand is open in declaring its ingredients to its customers. Respect!

It is priced at INR 350 for 100 gm/ 3.53 fl oz. You can buy this gel from here.

Deyga’s Charcoal Bath Bar:

Well…this is the very first time that I am using Charcoal Bath Bar that too on my face. I have used Charcoal Scrub and Face pack before, and I have loved both of them. But this time, I won’t deny it, I was damn scared to use the soap bar on my face for the first time. After patch-testing it, when I used it, ohhhh! I was blown away. 

I am so obsessed with this soap, I can't tell you in words.

I must say, it is one of the most wonderful skincare products I have ever used.

After a sweaty workout, when I use this bath bar, it gives me a very satisfying experience. 

You see, when you get that ‘squeaky clean feeling’ after washing your face, that’s a blessing, right! My skin (or is it me?) literally floats like a cloud. 😊

This bath bar is:

• Cold Pressed
• Natural
• Vegan
• Paraben-free 
• Fragrance-free

This soap is made of Activated Charcoal Powder, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil, Unrefined Shea Butter, and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. 

It is free from any Artificial thickeners.

I couldn’t be happier because this came into my life when I needed it the most. My hormonal acne was all over the place and I was desperate to get a solution. Yes, this soap makes your skin dry, but if you apply Aloe Vera Gel or any moisturizer afterwards, then you are sorted. 

This is a Charcoal bath Bar. Its job is to clean your skin and throw out all the gunk from its core. And it does that just perfectly.

It is very effective in clearing out active acne and pimples. It unclogs your pores and clears out the blackheads like a dream. 

You can see a visible difference from the first few uses. I use it only on my face as my body skin is dry. 

Do try it on your body too if you have body acne, it’ll definitely help. 

I have a good feeling that it may even prevent your skin from breaking out. But that’s for the future to decide, I can’t comment on that right now. I must say if you have normal to oily or combination skin and you are suffering from acne or pimple, give it a try. Use it alongside the Aloe Vera Gel, your skin will thank you for sure.

One Charcoal Bath Bar is priced at INR 410. You can buy it from here.

You can buy the Clear Clean Combo here.

I feel these two products complement each other so much. And I am loving them both.  

Deyga Organics has a wide range of Skincare and Haircare products. I am eyeing their Rose & Mulethi Skin Brightening Face pack and also their Turmeric Healing Face pack right now. They seem very tempting.

Deyga Organics ships their products internationally. Isn't that great! Head over to their website to find out more about them.

** Please note that I don't get to earn a single penny if you buy any of the products from the brand. All my reviews are 100% my honest opinion- tried, tested, and very much loved 😊.

** Please use any cosmetic product after knowing about them and at your own risk. Consult medical professionals if needed. The blog or the author is not responsible for any after-effects. And yes, do not forget to do a patch test before using any new product.

Cheers!!!
