Getting Skin Ready for Winter

By

 As we can feel the claws of winter ready to touch our lives, we are getting ready to welcome the chilly season with warm clothes. We can definitely take advantage of protecting our skin at this time of the year. Winter can make our skin very dry and flaky. It is better to start taking appropriate care before its onset.  Here are a few essential points to remember to make our skin winter-ready. 

1. Moisturize: We must moisturize our skin without fail, even if it does not feel dry. The key is to select a moisturizer that matches our skin type. Looking out for humectants like Hyaluronic acid, glycerine, etc, in the ingredient list can make things easier. Often, our skin can look dull during this season, so ingredients like Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin in your moisturizer can improve the skin by brightening it. Some moisturisers I enjoy using are Plum Hello Aloe moisturizer, The Face Shop Rice Water Emulsion, Quench Botanics Jeju Cherry moisturizing Gel.

2. Exfoliate: One of the best ways to keep skin dryness at bay is to exfoliate it twice a week. It is better to avoid physical exfoliators and opt for chemical exfoliators. Those suffering from pimple marks, blackheads and open pores should use BHAs like Salicylic acids and those with redness, whiteness, etc, can go for AHAs like Glycolic acid or Lactic acid. Some of my favourite picks are Dermaco Salicylic Acid Serum and Pixi Glow Tonic (glycolic acid).

3. Apply Sunscreen: No matter if the sun shines brightly or just gives out a dim light, it does not matter. We must take out that tube/bottle of sunscreen and apply it daily. This is something we cannot miss. My best picks are Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence and Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen

4. HydratingToner: This may not be everyone's choice, but if we select the right toner and use it correctly, soft, supple and wonderful skin is an assurance. If applied in 2-3 layerings, a hydrating toner can give a wonderfully plump skin. The best toners that I have used are Klairs Supple Preparation Toner and The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Toner.

5. Treatments: The one thing that can heal extreme dryness is a treatment. We can apply hydrating serums like Hyaluronic acid serum or Ceramide infused treatments. Some products I have used and liked are Chemist at Play Hydrating Serum and The Mom's Co Natural  Ceramide Face Serum.

Feeling exhausted during the hectic week, well it's time to indulge in some me-time or we-time if you are a mom to a teenager or young adult. What better way to catch up with a movie with some coffee and snacks? Here is a list of movie recommendations from our side that are absolutely suitable to bring out the teenage girl in you: 1. The Princess Diaries: Anne Hathaway shines in this 2001 film, as Mia, a messy teenager who discovers that she is the only heir to the throne of Genovia. She undergoes a surprising transformation from a confused and shy teenager to a gorgeous, graceful woman. The movie has some fun moments and is a good venture to watch, especially because of the presence of Julie Andrews as Mia's grandmother, Queen Clarisse. If you like it and want to get more of Mia and her kingdom of Genovia, you can also watch the sequel from 2004. 2. Mean Girls: This is my favourite from the list. This 2004 film, starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachael McAdams and Amanda Seyfried is a

5 Old Movies That I Liked This Year

 Although I love watching films, I missed watching most movies released this year. However, instead I watched a lot of films that were released earlier. This list consists of films from various genres, and not just one particular. So, you will get one from your choice of genre for sure.  1. The Dressmaker : ( Drama, Dark Comedy) This 2015 film stars Kate Winslet as Tilly as a drop dead gorgeous dessmaker who returns to her Australian hometown long after she was evicted from there over false accusations. She changes the entire town's dressing sense from drab to fab within a short span, while taking care of her sick mother. The film is superbly stylish and smart, with some dark humour constantly lingering throughout it's runtime. Winslet simply owns the film. She is stunning, confident and yet vulnerable in times but the way she hides that part of her so skillfully, is what makes her one of the best actors of our times.  2. The Hating Game : ( Comedy, Romance) The 2021 movie has
