Benefits of coconut oil

Coconut oil is that one thing that we can find in every household.Coconut oil have many benefits .In todays blog i m gonna list some of them.Keep on reading.

1.As a shaving balm

One thing i learn recently is that we can actually use coconut oil for shaving purposes.I heard alot of things like conditioner as a shaving balm,soap as a shaving foam.I was using aloe vera gel as a shaving balm.But lately i started using coconut oil for shaving and for my surprise it turned out pretty good than everything else.Oil gives less friction and your razor glides on smoothly and your skin will be nourished after that.I also shaved my chin area using coconut oil and i got no burns or bumps after that.All you have to do is to take a spoon of coconut oil and massage it on the area to be shaven.One thing i have to tell is that you have clean yout razor using a tissue paper but not with water else the hairs will stick to the razor blades.Oil as a shaving balm worked pretty well for me and i m eager to know how it worked on you too.Kindly comment the feedback.

2.Coconut oil for body

In this lockdown time i m experimenting alot to be honest.One thing i m doing is to oil my whole body with coconut oil before a bath.I have noticed a huge difference by doing this.It nourishes my body .I put it for 30 minutes and then washes off.I have dry legs and feet but after doing this i have seen that the dryness is reducing.It also dissolves dirt in your body while washing.Whenever i feel dryness i put coconut oil .But don't use it on your face because it can clog your pores.

3.Coconut oil as a makeup remover

Okay,i said not to use coconut oil on your face.But if you are someone who just uses mascara and a lipstick ,i will say you can use coconut oil to remove them.Oil just melts makeup without any tugging or pulling.But don't use it on your entire face as it can clog yout pores and can cause acne.

4.Coconut oil to cuticles

Coconut oil can be used on your cuticles .You can rub a little bit of oil on your nails and sleep with a hand glove and socks on.Next morning your cuticles will be nourished and not dry.

5.Coconut oil as a hair oil

Take a bowl of coconut oil.Heat the oil and add 3 teaspoons of castor oil to it.Add three drops of any essential oil you love ,for aroma.Grate some onion ,carrot and dried tulsi to it.Heat the oil at medium flame until the onion,carrot and tulsi turns completely black.You can use the oil on your hair for hair growth.I have noticed baby hairs coming up there .

So these are some of the benefits of coconut oil.I have tried and tested these hacks and I always insist you to take a patch test before applying anything.Hope these works for you too.

Thank you💕

Five Clothing mistakes you have to STOP doing!👗👖👔👕

First impressions are ofcourse best impressions.Fashion choices are subjective .We can wear whatever we want and nobody has the power to judge you.

But,we should always remember that the only thing that we are representing materially to the world is our body and we have to make sure that the representation of ourself should be impactful and effortless.

Here are some of my suggestions to look sheek always and how to avoid some of clothing mistakes that we all did in the past including me.Here we go!

1.Wearing ill -fitted clothes

Okay,there is a huge difference between ill fitted clothes and loose fitted clothes.Loose fitted clothes are comfortable to wear and also it is always on trend.But ill fitted clothing is not very appealing.What i mean by that -imagine you are wearing an ill fitted jeans that is dropping down everytime and you are just pulling it up all the time.

Another example is ill fitted shoulder sleeves falling down.There are alot more such things in the case of ill fitting of clothes.You have to keep eye on the fitting of the clothes and how effortlessly it should fall on your body.A well fitted dress can change your entire look.

2.Wearing white undergarments

One fashion mistake girls have to stop is wearing a white bra under a white garment .People should stop buying white coloured undergarments .Because white is one colour that reflect light and it will peek fiercely through white dresses.

You can wear a grey undergarment under a white clothing but donot repeat the mistake of wearing a white bra under a white dress.It does show up even more if the material is thin.

3. 2:1 Rule violation

Dont be confused with name i given to this rule😁.What i meant by it is that ,if you are wearing a loose top you have to wear a fitted pants .If you are wearing a fitted top you can wear a boyfriend jeans below.Either one part say upper or lower have to be fitted.Otherwise it can look bulky and can kill the sheek look.

But at some times we may wear loose top and a loose pant,but in that case you can wear a belt to give a definition to your body.Some sort of snatching element is important else the look will be plain .But nowadays plain looks are nice too.Choose according to your style.

4.Dusky skin girls colour rules🚫

One thing i noticed in most dusky skin beauties is that they stopped wearing vibrant colours.In my teenage days i too believed in that.Later i realised that colours are for everyone.I feel like vibrant colours pop much evidently on dusky skin girls.

Everybody can carry every colours.There are no rules such that .Orange is one such colour that most of us dusky girls avoid but it looks beautiful on everybody.So carry vibrant colours confidently.

5.Too much of prints

Print on print is very much on trend.But sometimes in daily life when you layer too much clothes with different prints it can look blah.But small prints will look nice and sheek.

At the same time large prints can make your look a little overdone.For a party ofcourse you can rock it but for office and college it can look too much .So avoid that as you can.

So these are my five clothing suggestions .Hope you liked it.

P.S:- Fashion and clothing is completely subjective and the most important thing is your comfort and confidence.You can wear whatever you want if you are confident enough to carry it.Actually there are no rules for fashion and you can experiment alot in fashion.Clothing is just an external thing and your personality is what actually matters.😊

Thank you❤️💕🌹

Skincare products you really need!😍

My previous post was all about the skincare products that you don't need.Today's blog is all about the skincare products you really need.So here are the products you really need to maintain your skin in a good way.

1.Cleansers

Cleansers are really important girls.You can choose whatever cleanser you want depending upon your skin type.You can also DIY your cleanser like by using gram flour or anything like that.Cleansers will remove all the gunk from your face which is necessary because dirt and gunk can clog your pores and cause acne.

You really don't want to invest a lot in a face wash because it is just a wash off product and nothing is absorbed in your skin.Trial and error is the only way to get the right cleanser guys.Just try it and find what your skin demands.

I m an oily skin type so i will suggest you the plum green tea face wash.It is good.

2.Toner

Many people won't agree with me.They may say it is just a water in a bottle.But one thing i can tell you guys is that toners will make a difference.It helped to reduce my hyper pigmentation and uneven skin tone.If you have pore issue you should use a toner.It balances the pH of your skin.

One thing is that toner is not to remove the extra gunk in your face but something that is absorbed in to your skin.You can directly apply it .It is also a trial and error guys,you have to try different ones to get the right result.

But one toner that I can suggest you without any second thoughts is the Plum green tea toner.It worked very well with my skin.

3.Serum

If you have really good skin you really don't need one as such.But if you want to improve your skin a little more you can invest in one.Choose a serum properly .What I mean by that is if you have dry skin use a a serum with hyaluronic acid ,if you acne scars go for a niacinamide serum.Choose according to your skin type.

4.Moisturizer

As the name suggest moisturizer is something that moisturize your skin.Your skin can be flaky,dry or even oily.No matter what ,you have to use a moisturizer.If you are a beginner go for aloe vera gel(Face shop aloe vera gel is good).Always look up to the ingredients of the product that you are buying.

5.Sunscreen

The rage about sunscreen is true guys.It is scientifically proven that you have wear a sunscreen with atleast an SPF of 30 .Sunscreen protects you from harmful UV rays and ultra violet rays from sun.You have to put it on all of your exposed parts in day time.

Even if you are in home put SPF.I know lot of people are lazy to put sunscreen because of the white cast.But guys that white cast is the protecting factor in the sunscreen.You can just blend it in to your skin.After sometime it will merge to your skin.Choose the right sunscreen that does not make you sweaty and oily.It is also a trial and error process.

The one I suggest is the Ponds non-oily sunscreen with SPF 50.It does have a white cast but disappear after sometime.

So that is all about the skincare you need .You have to follow a skincare regime to maintain your skin and to protect it.

P.S:Always do a patch test of the products you use.Read the instructions given in the product first.Do little research and find the right product.

Thank you for reading my blogs guys.Have a great day😍💓

Skincare products you DON'T need!!!❌

We are of course skin care lovers .We always want that glass skin which is so much juicy and actually high maintenance.Brands will produce stuff every single day .They will have new launches that can be overwhelming for us,the consumers.We have to figure out what we actually need and what actually works on our skin.We have know about our skin type and moreover we cant splurge money on every single launches.

This blog is all about how we can choose the rights products and the skincare products we actually need!Read on

1.Face scrub

Nowadays chemical exfoliators are ruling the skincare industry.People have realized that scrubs can damage their skin.Most of the scrubs available in the market does have sharp beads or exfoliators in them.These particles can damage our skin by causing micro-tears.

Some people find it therapeutic to scrub their face but it can be harsh on our skin.You can use a face mask and by rinsing it off you can actually massage it if you want the feeling of scrubbing.It does remove the dead skin.

2.Facial mists

Facial mists are really refreshing tbh. But think twice that if you really want to spend thousands for an one minute relaxation?If you want that refreshing feel from a face mist take a spray bottle add some water with two drops of essential oil.You will be sorted out.You can use a toner as a face mist if want.

3.Makeup removing wipes

Wipes are similar to the scrub.When you are removing your makeup using a wipe we will feel the harshness of it in your skin.The other thing is that it actually does not take off all of the makeup and gunk in your face.Never follow up your skincare just after using a wet wipe and wet wipes are not BIO DEGRADABLE.Avoid it.

4.Essence

Essence is slowly coming to the Indian market but all i have to say is that ,an essence has the same properties of a serum.Do you really need two products that does do the exact same thing?

5.Astringents

A good toner does the job of an astringent.You have to invest in a good toner that does suit your skin perfectly well.

6.Lip scrubs

Lip scrubs are the biggest scam.Big international brands are launching their lip scrubs in different types.For what?You can just rub your tooth brush on you lips to remove the dead cells or just take some sugar and olive oil and rub it in your lips.You should not buy a lip scrub to do that.😕

7.Lip whitening lip balms

Your lip color is like your skin color.It does not change .Until and unless you had a surgery or something.Lip balms can moisturize your lips but cannot change the color of your lips.It is a false claim. Do not fall for it.

8.Under eye creams

Under eye creams does have the similar ingredients as that of a moisturizer.If you have dark circles it can be genetic,hormonal or due to lack of vitamins.Under eye creams can't lighten your under eyes.It can be moisturizing,but you can just put your moisturizer under your eyes.That's it.

9.Hand creams/Foot creams

Hand creams/Foot creams have the similar case as that of the under eye creams .It only moisturizes your hands you can easily does that job by a normal moisturizer.

10.Sheet masks

Sheet masks are another scam that is looting ours,customer's money.It is just an one time thing.You have to pay 100 rupees more or less for a sheet mask.It is actually a wastage of packaging.You can buy a good serum that does moisturize and calm your skin rather than buying a sheet mask that is a single use thingy.

11.Glitter masks/Peel off masks

Glitter does nothing to your skin and peel off masks too.Nothing is absorbed in your skin by using these two products.

So these are the products which are not worth spending your hard earned money.Hope you find it useful.

P.S:I m not someone to say how should you spend your money.You can buy whichever product you want cause it is your money.These are just my suggestions and my opinion on the case.If you have holygrails go with it and if you are happy with buying the above mentioned products go for it.😇

Thank you💓

No makeup-makeup look using affordable products😍No foundation!

Do you want to look natural and not very much madeup?Then you are at the right place!

When we are in a rush say early mornings it is very difficult to find time to apply a full face of makeup.Most of us like to look natural all the time because too much makeup does look cakey and also clog your pores.

So here are some of my tips for you to achieve the no makeup-makeup look with minimum products.

1.Do not use foundation.

Foundation can always feel heavy on your face.If you are a college/office going girl you actually does not need foundation.Foundation is that one thing which can translate a no makeup look in to a full face heavy makeup look.For a full day you will sweat and it may move your foundation.

If you are comfortable wearing it go for it until and unless it is a medium coverage foundation.Never go for a full coverage foundation.You can use tinted moisturizers if you want to.

2.Choose your perfect moisturizer and sunscreen.

A good moisturizer and a sunscreen will make your skin to look fresh and prepped.Your skin will look juicy and you actually do not need to put a lot of makeup.

3.Use a concealer .

If you have dark under eye circle,acne marks or anything that you are concerned use a concealer.Dot and dab the concealer to the skin.It does not look unnatural and also not cakey.

I suggest you to go for wet n wild concealer for medium coverage and Maybelline age rewind for a full coverage.

4.Set it with a powder.

If you are an oily skin girl like me.You need to set your face with a powder.You can choose a loose powder or a compact for your liking.

I suggest you to go for Maybelline fit me loose powder because it does have a coverage and sets your makeup beautifully.If you do not set your face with powder your concealer may crease and also your face can get oily.

5.Do you eyebrows.

Eyebrows can build or kill a look.You can use an eyebrow pencil to fill up your eyebrows if you like them to look done.If you have bushy eyebrows better comb the hair and do not do much.

I will never recommend to use a brow pomade or a brow powder because it will look unnatural.You can use a brow mascara to set it in place.I use Etude house brow pencil because i can just fake hair strokes and still it does not look unnatural.Etude house eyebrow pencil have a lot of shades and it is affordable.

6.Curl your lashes and put mascara.

If you have thick long lashes use a curler and leave it as such.But if you want your lashes to look long and thick use a mascara.Maybelline lash sensational is affordable and gives a good lashes.

Applying a mascara and curling your lashes will open up your eyes and you do not look sleepy.

7.Choose a nude lipstick closer to your lip color.

Lipstick is very tricky tbh. You have to find the perfect nude for you and it is not very easy to get.It should brighten up your face and should not look too in to face kinda shade.

The one i suggest is wet n wild liquid lipstick in the shade give me mocha.It suits most dusky skin girls and is a perfect nude with both pink and brown undertones.

Always dab the lipstick and put a little bit on your cheeks for a flesh of color.You can also use lip tints or lip oils.

8.Do not put boxy contour and stalk highlighters.

Contours and highlights are the two things that are completely optional.You can use strobe creams to make your skin glow and always blend it into your skin.Glitters in highlighters are visible sometimes and contour can be muddy for a no makeup-makeup look.

P.S:Makeup is subjective and actually there are no rules for it.India is a democratic country and you can always choose what you want😀.You can present yourself the way you like and always be confident in what you are.You go girl!

Thank you💕

Period hygiene and hacks that nobody tells you😯

Period hygiene is something that most of us girls does not pay attention to,but something that is very much important for our health .

The following are the things you must pay attention to when you are chumming!

1.Replace your sanitary pad with a fresh one every 4 to 5 hours.If you keep it for too long bacteria can grow there and you can get infections.Even if the pad is not stained you have to remove it.

2.Take a shower! twice a day.It is better to take shower on morning and also before bed.Your body have to be clean for the whole day otherwise you may get vaginal infections(Hot water baths with some disinfectant drops are the best).

3.Prefer cotton napkins rather than plastic ones.Plastic pads can cause rashes in your pubic region.Soft cotton nappies are the best.

4.Use panty liners where you are in your spotting days.It does not feel heavy on you and also you can save up your money.If you do not have one cut your napkin into two parts. Tadaa!Panty liner is ready.

5.You does NOT require any extra cleansers to clean your vagina.Companies always try to increase consumerism .You does not require such cleaning gels or powders .The vagina has the ability to clean itself dude.Even if you are using one of such cleansers you can find that most of them have the similar ingredients that is in a soap.

6.If you are the one using tampons remove it after every hours else it can be dangerous.Toxic shock syndrome is the bad after effect of it which is a vigorous bacterial infection that may even lead to death.

7.Use comfortable cotton panties which are not very much tight .Don't use lace,silk or any other types of fabric which can actually be a discomfort.

8.If you have any infections,rashes or any unusual feel on your pubic region consult a doctor.

9.Always keep your pubic region hair free.If else it can accumulate bacteria and cause infections.Never and ever use hair removal creams on your intimate area .The skin there is very sensitive .You can either wax or shave.

10.If you don't have long pads during your heavy flow days you can make a T shape pad situation with using two pads .Then there will be no leakage.

Hope these hacks will help you on your periods!Happy and healthy period girlss😁

P.S:-I know menstrual cups are so good ,leak free and sustainable.But i have not tried it yet!So i can't comment on it.I will try it soon and will give an update on my blogs.💛
