I’ll be sharing some tips and tricks on how to keep your skin radiant, pimple free and clear. 


Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika


Step #1. Remove dirt and oil - Always remove the dirt and oil even if you don’t have any makeup or any skin care on face. It’s always good to start with a clean surface. I recommend to buy Sulfate-free cleansers, they do not dry out your skin and do a good job of getting rid of any excess oil or grime that may have settled into your skin pores.


Bonus Tip - Use face brush : I highly recommend a face brush for cleansing even if you don’t have that something like a baby skin smoother will go. It is super affordable and easy to use, it helps get into those areas where your fingers cannot. When you’re finished cleaning use warm water to wash your face and pat dry. Also, Keep your skin cool. If you’re heated or you play a lot of sports and you’re sweating all the time even a cold rinse throughout the day can do wonders.

 

Step #2. Tone your skin - It is used to balance the skin’s pH levels. Put a few drops of the toner on a cotton pad. Apply it all over the face and neck and allow it to dry. Never rub your face while applying the toner, always pat it out. 

Note - Use a toner right after cleansing when the skin is still damp, in your morning and evening skin care routines. It helps in better penetration of the ingredients. In case your skin feels too dry after the use of a toner, limit its use to once per day. 


Step #3. Apply Serum - This skin care product is popular for a reason. Apply a thin layer of a serum of your choice (about a pea-sized amount should do) and massage onto skin until fully absorbed. Serums are generally concentrated formulas that target specific skin issues like dehydration, uneven skin tone, redness, sensitivity, dark spots and clogged pores. 


Step #4. Moisturize  - Using moisturizer two times a day is vital—even if you have oily skin. Yes, really! Moisturizer protects your skin from the elements and keeps it hydrated so it looks and feels healthy.

Note - Applying moisturizer to damp skin helps trap more water in your skin. Also, damp skin absorbs products better.


Step #5. Pat on an eye cream - To keep skin around eye healthy and strong, consider using an eye cream. The skin around the eyes is more fragile, more prone to dryness, and quicker to show age and fatigue. Depending on the formula, eye creams can tighten and hydrate the skin while treating common skin concerns. Avoid applying cream too close to your bottom eyelashes. Pat the product into your skin. Avoid dragging or rubbing. Wait 2 minutes to let the cream fully absorb.


Step #6. Apply SPF - If you’re heading out into the sun, don’t forget to layer sunscreen on top where it can most effectively fight UV rays. The absolute bare minimum SPF you need on your face is SPF 30. 

Note - Stick to products that do not have too many ingredients and are fragrance-free, and try new products one by one so you can see how your skin reacts.


Step #7. Use a lip balm - Keep your lips hydrated whether it’s day or night. Using lip balm, preferably one with a high SPF, can help in lightening dark lips. Lip balms also keep the lips moisturised, preventing them from darkening further. Use a lip balm the moment you feel your lips are drying up. It can be used several times a day.


So guys with that it’s a wrap! I hope you find it helpful. I hope there’s something in there that you haven’t learned before but anyway do leave your views in the comments.

Most Common Etiquette Mistakes.

Etiquette isn’t something that just evaporated from society over time. Even though we do much of our communicating online, it’s still necessary to practice good manners when attending parties or having in-person chats. It may sound old-fashioned, but you still need to know your manners out of respect for the people around you. If you’re a little rusty on proper etiquette (like most of us are), here’s a little refresher. You probably didn’t know that you were breaking these essential etiquette rules!   Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika. 1. You Avoid Eye Contact While Talking - When you chat with others, do you find your eyes wandering? You look at what’s going on in the background, rather than looking at your conversation partner’s face.
