Once a week, I do a detox for my skin with a clay Once a week, I do a detox for my skin with a clay based face mask. I do this at night because this mask makes the skin a bit red (it settles down after about 30 mins) but the next morning, my skin looks amazing. If I have a shoot or a special event, this is my skincare routine the previous night. Just 3 products but so effective! 

Products used - 
* @seeloveindia Cleansing Oil
* @aminu.life Marine Clay Mask
* @rasluxuryoils 24k Radiance Oil 

How do you like to detox your skin?

As a student of psychology in college, I learned t As a student of psychology in college, I learned that the decade of the 40s is the most difficult phase of a person’s life. On one hand, you see the elders in your family grow older, have health issues and, some, pass away while on the other, your kids grow up as well, become more independent and leave home as they pursue their academic goals. 

In the last two years, we’ve lost my in-laws as well as 3 really close relatives (lost an uncle this past weekend). Seven of our very close friends lost a parent. It feels like you’ve barely just coped with a loss, got your emotions in control, and you get the news of another tragedy. 

Words cannot describe the void that you feel when you lose loved ones,  but then you’ve got to stay strong, pray for the souls of the departed, hope that they continue to shower their blessings on you,  and carry on. Because that is life.
I’m captivated by the enchanting whispers of ‘ I’m captivated by the enchanting whispers of ‘Wood Whisper’ by @ojarofficial crafted by the master perfumer  Jordi Fernandez. True to its name, this is a soft fragrance that is cozy and comforting. It makes its presence felt in gentle wafts and soft whispers each time you pass by or when someone hugs you. If ”quiet luxury” was a perfume, this would be it . It has made its way into my husband’s favourite fragrances as well. 

My nose can’t really pick up the plum notes though I do get a bit of the violet,  but I definitely get the warmth of sandalwood a bit of vanilla and more of the sensual amber and musk. When I wear Wood Whisper, I feel like I’m cocooned in a cozy, woody-musky embrace. 🍂💫 

What I love most about this, besides the fact that it is totally unisex, is that it is available as an Oil Mist, EDP and Perfume Oil so that you can layer the fragrance for better longevity. I have the oil mist and the EDP and am definitely getting the Perfume Oil too. 

Ojar Fragrances are available at @scentidoindia and besides Wood Whisper, I highly recommend Halwa Kiss and  @scentgasm Stallion Soul.

My skin has become extra dry this year, and while My skin has become extra dry this year, and while winter hasn’t yet visited Bombay, the weather has become drier. These are my current go-to bath & body products for my dry skin:

* @daughterearthofficial WildMocha Body Scrub - to exfoliate the dry, scaly skin. This also moisturises the skin so, if you have normal skin you won’t need to apply any lotion after using this. 

* @bathandbodyworksindia Moisturising Body Wash - a creamy body wash that doesn’t dry out the skin. In The Stars, Gingham & Champagne Toast are my favourite variants. 

* @boho.botanist Almond & Babasu Oil Body Wash - this is a shower oil that becomes milky and gently cleans the skin without stripping it of moisture. Has a lovely delicate fragrance too. 

* @nuxe L’Huile Prodigieuse Florale - a quick absorbing dry oil that smells delightful. I prefer to carry this in my bag for quick applications on my legs / arms / or even a tiny bit to tame frizz. 

* @loccitaneindia Ultra Rich Body Cream - Ultra dry skin NEEDS the nourishment of this ultra rich cream. It is rich yet doesn’t feel thick or greasy, gets absorbed easily and really works wonders for super dry skin.
