MEB if you want to be suggested products that work for your skin then join r/skincareaddiction - a lot of qualified and well informed people there.

And if you want to learn more about the DIY side of skincare (science based) then check out Making Skincare on Facebook and r/DIYBeauty on reddit. I think you might like the content that's on there. (:

I used to be one of those people who followed pinterest recipe and believed everything natural bloggers said but when I started venturing out a little I realised that the natural skincare community is mostly filled with people who like to do fear mongering and/or have their own "natural" skincare line and want people to buy from them.

Instead the science side of DIY it's freaking amazing. I learned a great deal and can dupe v v expensive products to the T. For example, the Farsali oils that are all over cost just 3 to make at home (including cute packaging) while they're sold for $50. Also, you get the chance to customise the products to your own liking. I'm someone who doesn't like citrus based ingredients in products that I wear during the day so making my own Farsali oils gave me the chance to omit the Lemon and Orange EOs and add other ones that my skin likes.

And I just realised that I'm ranting lol. I get carried away when talking about skincare. In short, like you said natural isn't always better and from my experience I learnt that most of the things they spread are just scare tactics.

Ex one of the most popular natural skincare brands sells their products without ANY preservative - which is v v wrong considering anything with even a little water in it needs a preservative or bacteria will grow into it.

Another example are these YouTubers who make "natural" masks with food grade items and tell people that it's safe to keep them in the fridge for a week - it's not. They're risking ruining people's skin forever just to make a few quick bucks and it makes me sick. -.-

^^Completely agree!! Even I get carried away talking about skincare lol. Natural does suit you & so does FE so thats what I generally stick to. I surf through that sub, most of the products I can't find in India & it's too expensive so I buy a few.

GP: Lol ya my skin is waaay sensitive! This face pack is fine & milk too. Sometimes I wash my face with milk & let it be, wash it off & then apply whatever I need to. Lemon just doesn't suit my skin!!! Blisters my skin too.

Wow. You guys do a lot for your skin it seems. I really appreciate all of those who take out so much time to follow a routine. I'm so lazy even if I'm free all day long, I won't do any of this even if I plan to do it.

Plus I have bad acne prone skin. Teenage and pimples made me lose any hope whatsoever. Though my skin is clearer now, I still get those pre-period pimples at times.

Has anyone tried any kind of chemical peels here? Do they work?

I have! I've tried TO's AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution which is pretty mild compared to other chemical peels but if used frequently it does the job.

I also use BHA/AHAs on a daily basis so idk if I owe my results to the once-a-week chemical peel only.

Btw, azelaic acid is like god-sent for acne prone skin!

I'm not gonna write everything here but I'll PM you and explain it better. I also have some other good news to give you. 😳

I have used azelaic acid creams(as suggested by Derma) earlier. It worked like a charm. I feel what works best for me is the vitamin capsules they suggest. That glow I got coz of those Vitamin A capsules as a part of the treatment was really good.

Same Derma suggested me Chemical peels but I was scared coz there are side effects I have heard of.

Good News? You're gonna be a mommy. Yayyy!😆

SIG: I have too. I heartily recommend Sr Rekha Sheth in Bombay. A magician! I used to go to apparently a very good derm before her, did her fancy chemical peels too & it made a huge difference but I didn't want to be hooked onto any of this. Sheth gives you lotions & face washes etc that REALLY *make a difference*!!

I do this once a week, so not fancy, lol. I just use products that I feel suit me. Nothing beats exercise & healthy eating too but I hardly get any so I can't be the one to talk about this.

No, I still have to color it. I want to cut my hair off before coloring it but I'm scared that I might end up regretting it.



^My current hair length is longer than classic but just a little shorter than mid-thigh, I was thinking of chopping it off till bra strap or armpit length but like I said, I'm confused. :((

WOW you have such long hair😲 I Myself have hip lengh hair but i am gonna chop them off till shoulder length😆
