An Indian Beauty Blog
Guest Post in collaboration with Earthy Selections While we are clearly stressed about everything around us, we often need a little pick me up. While we’re doing this it would not hurt to opt for products that are good for the environment and maybe even better for our skin. Let’s take a look at some…
Do actives in wash-off products really make sense? The skincare rule book says that anti-acne ingredients like Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide in wash-off products are actually effective while being gentler than leave-on treatments. However, the general verdict on actives like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Retinol in wash-off products is that they won’t get enough…
Earth Rhythm is a skincare and haircare brand that has been around for several years. Formerly known as Soapworks India, the brand started out with soaps and shampoo bars, I believe, but have since rebranded and expanded their product range. I had not tried their products until recently because I had heard that there were…
Vitamin C is one of my favourite skincare ingredients. It works for most skin types, reduces pigmentation, adds a beautiful glow to the face, and boosts collagen production to reverse aging. Moreover, it is believed to protect the skin from photoaging too, when used under a sunscreen during the day. This is why, a vitamin…
What is every woman past her mid-twenties looking for in her skincare? Retinol! This potent anti-aging ingredient still tops the list of multi-tasking skincare products for me.

Honest confession – I usually don’t moisturize my body in summers because it is hard to find a body lotion that is non-sticky and non-greasy! Do you feel my pain? There are some body yogurts that I love, but sometimes I crave for something that has the richness of a lotion without the accompanying greasiness….
Frizz is a common hair concern for women in India. Those pesky flyaways and spiky ends can be extremely annoying on a special occasion when we want to look our very best. No matter how much you straighten, oil, or treat your hair, the frizz just comes back sooner or later! I blame it on…
As I am writing this blog post, I am aware that makeup is not the first thing on anybody’s mind, thanks to the second wave of Covid in India. However, I am hoping that you are reading this blog post in a Covid-free future, where eyeshadows are exciting again! Without casting more gloom over this…
Apart from lipsticks and kajal, compact powder is probably a makeup essential for most Indian women, thanks to our hot and humid climate! Funnily enough, I usually do not prefer to use compact powders on my oily skin, because most of them tend to exaggerate the texture of my skin by clinging to acne. However,…
