Turmeric is not a new ingredient for Indian households, be it in terms of food or skincare recipes. However, gone are the days when people grew their own turmeric in the backyard or sourced it from the farm next door. This is why you should reserve the turmeric in your kitchen cabinet for your dal…
Over the course of years, my skin has gradually transformed from being extremely oily to somewhat combination. This is why I have started leaning towards demi-matte or velvety matte foundations as opposed to those with a powdery matte formula. A number of flat matte foundations that I have tried recently exaggerated the texture and dry…
While powder-based face masks and face washes require a bit of an effort to use, I have realized over time that they actually last longer and are so much more customizable.
