Basic Skincare Routine For Men

Posted on January 8, 2021January 7, 2021 by Mrinalini

The irony of being a beauty blogger is that the people closest to you pay the least heed to your skincare advice! It took me 8 years to coax and cajole my husband to follow a (somewhat) daily skincare routine! He has slightly oily and fairly sensitive skin, without any acne. He only likes products…

So happy that @peesafe continues to launch more pr So happy that @peesafe continues to launch more products to encourage intimate hygiene in women. They have sent me some of their products to try out and I am most excited to try out the period cramp relief roll on because cramps are like a monthly punishment for me. Other products include menstrual cups and biodegradable pads in 3 sizes, both of which are more eco-friendly alternatives to standard pads. Peesafe has also launched female condoms, which is great because women deserve safe contraception.

Thanks a lot @glamaroma_beauty for sending across Thanks a lot @glamaroma_beauty for sending across these beautiful products! The Pumpkin range is one of the most popular ranges from Glamaroma and I cannot wait to try it out. I am particularly excited about the face mask because it is such an interesting mix of ingredients! It has nourishing oils, hydrating aloe, detoxifying clay, as well as exfoliating and brightening ingredients. Could it be the one and done product that we all need? I will let you know soon once I try it out!

My all-time favourites from @suganda.co Suganda My all-time favourites from @suganda.co 

Suganda is a brand that I have used extensively over the years and I have tried out most of their products. I have witnessed the brand grow to new heights each year and love their recent approach of minimalistic formulations that strengthen the skin. They have also brought out fragrance-free variants of their products, so that everyone can enjoy their products without hesitation. Here are my all-time favourites from the brand that you should try out -
(P.S. Use Coupon code MRI for 10% off!)

1. Centella Green Tea Face Wash - A very gentle cleansing gel that cleans the skin without stripping it dry. Suitable for all skin types but particularly beneficial for dry or sensitive skin.

2. Hyaluronic Acid Serum - A soothing and hydrating serum that you can layer under your Moisturizer for a burst of hydration. It is very gentle and also contains oatmeal to soothe irritated skin. Suitable for all skin types.

3. Pure Squalane - 100% Pure Squalane, which is a lightweight oil that is very similar to the natural oils that our skin produces. Excellent for layering on top of hydrating serums. Again, suitable for all skin types and you can layer it differently as per your skin type.

4. Antioxidant Serum - I know this one has mixed reviews online but it truly worked like magic on my oily, acne-prone skin. It contains 10% Vitamin C, and helps to reduce blemishes and pigmentation. Those who are new to Vitamin C, kindly proceed with caution.

5. White Lotus Moisturizer - If you have really oily skin then you will love this lightweight Moisturizer that has a matte finish. My skin often breaks out when I apply a high concentration Niacinamide serum but this product contains a lower concentration of Niacinamide which works really well at brightening my skin and adding that glow. Highly recommend for extremely oily skin.

6. Calendula Lip Balm - Any lip balm that I am trying after this one is just not able to compete with this formulation. Plus it is tint-free, fragrance-free and does not look thick on the lips. Everyone should try it!

Hope this post gave you all the info you needed on my Suganda Favourites! Please save & share it too 😊
Have been using the Maybelline Falsies Lash Lift M Have been using the Maybelline Falsies Lash Lift Mascara over the past month and am finally ready to pass my verdict. This one is one of their best-selling mascaras, and here is what I think of it.

✨ Adds a noticeable lift to the lashes and a lot of length too. It can truly transform straight and short lashes.

✨ Doesn't add too much volume, but the plus side of that is that it doesn't make the lashes look clumpy or unnatural.

✨ Is waterproof, which is great for those with watery eyes. I personally don't like to waterproof mascara on a regular basis because it can damage the lashes, but when I want my mascara to be budgeproof, I can trust this one.

✨ The wand is pretty big and allows you to apply the product evenly from the root to the tip of the lashes.

Overall, this mascara does what it claims and does give a Lash Lift effect. If that is what you are going for then definitely give it a shot. 

P.S. - The formula gets better after 1-2 uses (exposure to air). So give it some time if you didn't like it in the first go.

Have been using the @mothersparsh Herbal Haircare Have been using the @mothersparsh Herbal Haircare range for the past 3 hair washes and I am quite impressed with the products so far. Here is my mini review -

✨ This is a 4 step haircare regimen that contains a hair oil, hair lep, shampoo and conditioner. Each of the products is enriched with the goodness of traditional Ayurvedic herbs that ensure optimal scalp and hair health.

✨ I was most intrigued to try the hair lep because it was my first time trying a powder hair mask. You simply have to mix it with water and apply on your scalp and hair before shampooing the hair.

✨ I loved that the hair mask is very finely milled, which ensures that the paste is smooth and the mask particles are easy to wash off from the hair.

✨It has a herbal scent and when I applied it to my scalp, I could feel a slight warmth which is usually indicative of scalp stimulation that increases hair growth.

✨ It contains a bunch of hair-loving ingredients such as Dashmoola, Methi, tejpatra, triphala, shikakai and more, which leave my hair soft and shiny.

✨ After this 4 step haircare regimen, my hair feels shiny and voluminous while my scalp feels clean and non-flaky. All the products work well together and provide ample nutrition to my hair.

Do try out this range if you are struggling with hair and scalp issues. It is the best way to try out our grandmothers' haircare rituals in an easy to use format ☺️
