Do we need a basic Skincare?

These days online and YouTube videos are filled with skincare reviews and influencers' views. People who are not aware of basic skin care may fall into the trap of spending more and not getting the desired results that they need. 

Do we need a basic Skincare? 

Many used to say that our grandparents and parents did not even use any face creams they would just use one soap to wash the entire body including their face and talcum powder that's it. Yes!!!!! I too agreed to the same, they had good skin with strong hair. But I have a few questions now please answer Yes or No to that.



1. Do you follow the same lifestyle as your grandparents and parents such as walking or cycling alone when you need to travel?

2. Do you think you are getting the same amount of nutrients as them from the food you consume?

3. Do your food habits and social outings' food menu look exactly as or at least similar to your parents?

4. Do you think you have the same level of pollution and UV Rays that your parents and grandparents underwent?


If you got at least 3 answers as No, then you definitely need basic skin care which is the right amount of product that was used for a consistent period to show results and lifelong to follow.

On average an Indian needs just 3 to 4 steps skincare routine for healthy and beautiful skin and not more than that 

So what is basic skin care?

AM 

1. A cleanser/ Face wash

2. Moisturizer

3. Sunscreen preferably SPF 50 above

4. SPF lip balm

PM

1. Oil Cleanser or cleansing balm (To deep cleanse and remove the sunscreen residue)

2. A cleanser/ Face wash

3. A chemical exfoliator (Just once or twice a week)

4. Moisturizer

5. Vaseline/ Lip balm




If you follow this basic skincare consistently throughout your life for sure you will certainly have healthy and glowing skin. You can ask what about Vitamin C, Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, etc. You can use that if you have existing issues and they are quite powerful as well. But my point here is If you follow the basics correctly the issue won't arrive at all.



Choose the product according to your age, climate, and skin and use it wisely with consistent and of course a healthy lifestyle and diet to get good and healthy skin. Dring more water you won't need Hyaluronic Acid, and eat Vitamin C you won't need Vitamin C serums. The main reason why our grandparents and parents had good skin is because of their active lifestyle and healthy food habits so be active and move yourself daily.

Blog Post - How did my book-reading journey started

 H ow did my book-reading journey started When I was a little girl I used to see lots of regional books filled the entire shelf of my dad's room. He is very generous and will always allow me to touch those books but I was not allowed with the pen or pencil into that room. Of course due to some damage control preservation. Whenever I enter that room the old book presented in that room will give me a warm hug through its dedicated book smell. So whenever I entered that room I used to sniff those book's wonderful smell and will open those books and there I could find the coffee-stained color inner pages. When I go through those books I used to see the small classic old ads for Pond's Powder Tin, Colgate tooth powder, Hamam soap, etc.   The small tiny black letters, the yellow stained pages, and the pencil art inbetween the novels all were purely nostalgic to remember.  Since my 7th grade I started to read my regional novels and then when I hit 9th the public exam pre-coaching

INDIGO EARTH, the Golden, Satyuga, is very interesting and informative. What are the changes we expect to witness and How? Greetings. Indigo Earth is the Golden age. Mother Earth in its entirety is transiting into being the Indigo Earth. The changes are mentioned in the book. The answer to the ‘How’ makes it a guidebook. We all are an intrinsic part of this experience. The transition has begun. There are many who are like a guiding light, a light house, enabling others to transit. They are there. The transition is smooth sailing. 2. Spirituality, awakening, infinite consciousness, self-realization, nirvana are the terms which are associated with renunciation or sanyas. Is it true?  Hahaha…. It’s a lifestyle. Being in awareness of the self and living it is a lifestyle. We choose, to live a life of unconditional lov

Tales of Unstoppable Women written by Dr Urmi Thakker . The idea of creating such a book is really appreciatable. The cover looks very impressive and the images given inside the book too. About the book: This book is not a fiction or regular storybook. This book is a collection of short stories and that too not a fiction one its about the women who struggled but succeeded in their life and fulfilled their dreams. The book has the total number of seven stories and each story are about fifteen to twenty pages. The story covers the women and her life from different levels and how she fulfilled the dreams. There are pictures of those dream winners by the end of each story and three self reflection was asked to their readers. To know more about the story and these questions please do read the book. My review: The idea of creating these kinds of a book with the picture is very good and inspiring. The narration is really good and in detail. Everyone will struggle with one point and we ne
