Celebrating #SkinAwarenessMonth with Galderma

Posted on 12/08/202212/08/2022by Dollie

While I have always loved makeup, my biggest beauty passion has always been skincare. This passion was fuelled when, as a teen, I used to read French Elle and Vogue which had detailed articles on how to identify your skin type and the right products to use for it.  This was in the 90s, before […]

Dermafique Bio-Cellulose Face Masque

Winter time is when I love to pamper my skin with masks; the heat and humidity of summers and monsoons are perfect for clay masks but the dry, cool weather of winters makes me bring out my Bio cellulose masks for my twice a week pampering session and some intense burst of hydration. Recently, I […]

#7days7lipsticks is back after quite a long break! #7days7lipsticks is back after quite a long break! Personally, i like this series because it gives me an opportunity to explore my lipstick collection and wear lipsticks that lie forgotten in a drawer. Lipsticks also change your look so even if the rest of your makeup is the same (for example,  minimal makeup for work), you can beat the monotony by switching your lipstick shade.  Lipsticks shown here:

* @lorealindia Chiffon Signature Lipstick in I Loose Up
* @kaybykatrina Mattinee Lip Crayon in Rom Com
* @lovechildbymasaba Mint To Be
* @justherbsindia Liquid Lipstick in Peony Pink 
* @simplynam.beauty Lip Butter in Rani
* @plumgoodness Matterrific Lipstick in Fiery Kiss
* @maccosmeticsindia Love Me Lipstick in Joie de Vivre

Day 15 of #30DaysOfBeauty . The person who usually Day 15 of #30DaysOfBeauty . The person who usually does my gels was travelling so I got them done from another person who over buffed my nails and damaged them terribly. My nails became paper thin and brittle and would break and peel even if they grew a teeny bit! I ordered the @nykaabeauty 7-in-1 Nail Spa and Calcium Milk because they had good reviews and after using them regularly for 45 days, my nails are healthier and have started growing as well. No miracles but slow and steady improvement. 
I apply one coat of the Nail Spa and one of the Calcium Milk, remove after 4/5 days, let nails breathe for a day and apply again. 
The 7-in-1 Nail Spa has Acetyl-Methionine and Keratin-like peptide to prevent breakage, Hexanal to harden, Amino Acids to stimulate growth & Vitamin E for nourishment. 
The Calcium Milk has Calcium + Milk Protein to reinforce keratin in the nails and a blend of oils to moisturise and nourish them. 
Give them a try if you have weak / damaged nails.

Day 14 of #30DaysOfBeauty . I heat style my hair ( Day 14 of #30DaysOfBeauty . I heat style my hair (either blow dry or iron) nearly each time that I shampoo and I absolutely love the @milkshakehairindia Incredible Milk as a leave-in treatment to nourish my hair and protect it from heat damage as well as UV rays.  With murumuru butter and milk proteins, it actually smells like yummy milkshake! Have you tried this?

Day 13 of #30DaysOfBeauty. While I love putting on Day 13 of #30DaysOfBeauty. While I love putting on makeup, I love cleansing it even more and one of my absolute favourites for that is the @plumgoodness E-Luminence Cleansing Balm. 

It gets rid of ALL makeup without stripping the skin of its moisture, doesn't irritate sensitive skin, nor the eyes, and most of the times, doesn't even need a second cleanse! Best of all, it's an Indian brand and highly affordable. You need a very small quantity and one tub will last you ages! You can use code DOLLIE15 for a 15% discount and thank me later 😉

Day 12 of #30DaysOfBeauty and this is one of my mu Day 12 of #30DaysOfBeauty and this is one of my must haves in my dresser and handbag. It's the @pixibeauty Rose Glow Mist - a multi purpose face mist that has a wonderful ingredient list that includes skin loving and nourishing oils and botanicals.  It smells divine and can be used as a mist to add a burst of hydration, to blend makeup, fix it post application and to freshen it in between. Have you tried this ?

Day 11 of #30DaysOfBeauty and I have a massive PMS Day 11 of #30DaysOfBeauty and I have a massive PMS pimple on my face. My go-to for spot treating such breakouts is the @innisfreeindia Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2X. It has Jeju Volcanic clusters that pull out all the excess sebum from the pores, and lactic acid for gentle exfoliation. Best of all, it is very gentle and great even for sensitive skin and can be used for teenage acne as well! 

If you have oily skin or just want to give your skin a deep clean, you can use it all over your face (excluding the undereye area) or simply use it as a spot treatment. It doesn't work miracles and zap the pimple immediately but does reduce it's size and redness and helps it heal faster. 

Have you tried this mask?

It's #FirstImpressions for Day 10 of #30DaysOfBeau It's #FirstImpressions for Day 10 of #30DaysOfBeauty . I had heard wonderful things about the Alan Truman Blow Brush and I bought it during the recent Nykaa Pink Sale. Since I was trying it out for the first time, I decided to do it on camera so that I could share the results with you. 
The brush head is bigger than regular brushes so you can blow dry large sections of hair quickly. It has 3 temperature settings and I did my blow dry on the Cool setting. Perhaps that was a mistake because the next day my hair becamea frizzy mess due to the crazy humidity and tiny bit of drizzle during my morning walk the next day. Next time, I'll try the high heat setting. Despite that, I have to say I'm quite impressed with it.

An awesome new mascara for Day 9 of #30DaysOfBeaut An awesome new mascara for Day 9 of #30DaysOfBeauty . The @maccosmeticsindia Stack Mascara was love at first use and has become my most used mascara in recent weeks. Unlike other mascaras, this one doesn't clump or give "spidery" lashes if I layer it up. It also lasts me all day without any flakes falling on my cheeks - an issue I face with some mascaras. This isn't waterproof though so avoid if you're going out in the rains.

One of my favourite facial oils for Day 8 of #30Da One of my favourite facial oils for Day 8 of #30DaysOfBeauty ! The @ybpcosmetics Plant Remedy is magic in a bottle! Made with just 4 ingredients, it has a pretty blue colour and smells divine! It is the perfect oil to start with if you've never used facial oils before. I use 3-4 drops for my face and neck, a couple more in winters, and I use it around my eye area as well. No separate eye cream needed! Absolutely great for sensitive / sun damaged / congested / dull skin that needs gentle pampering without too many ingredients.

Sunday Pampering on Day 7 of #30DaysOfBeauty with Sunday Pampering on Day 7 of #30DaysOfBeauty with @theordinary AHA & BHA Peeling Solution.

The easy availability of acid peels means that people are including them in their skincare and sometimes, going overboard with them too. If not used with caution, they can cause issues such as burns in the short run and increased skin sensitivity and inflammation in the long run.  Here are 6 DOs and DONTs that you should keep in mind when doing a peel at home. 
1) Apply a thick occlusive cream on the sensitive areas of your face, such as under eye or around the mouth  to protect them. 
2) While these can be used weekly, I'd advise doing a peel once in 2-3 weeks only. 
3) Do not leave it on longer than the recommended time as it can cause burns. 
4) Do not use products with AHA / BHA / Niacinamide pre or post peel as you don't want to go overboard with the actives. A basic cleanser before and moisturiser / facial oil after wards is all you need. 
5) Wear Sunscreen daily regardless of whether you do a peel or not. 
6) So not use a peel if you have active acne. Consult a dermatologist for that. 

I also prefer to do the peel on a Sunday evening so that i can just put on a generous layer of moisturiser and sleep. Avoid putting on makeup immediately after a peel.
