Your username is the lipstick shade( Charlotte tilbury) that I use. Always thought of saying that but now that this thread is related to cosmetics…here I said it

I think your hair might benefit from long term use with a good shampoo/conditioner that has Biotin as its active ingredient. Having said that, please take any recommendation with a grain of salt. If hair breakage/loss is severe enough, topical treatments may not do much good. Would definitely recommend seeing a dermatologist for systemic treatment tailored to you. But if you’re just trying to maintain health of your skin and hair or looking for a regimen to start with, then feel free to take what works!

I personally strongly believe in active ingredients not brands. Any brand from any country that has the active ingredient I am looking for is fine with me.

For thinning hair, breakage prone hair and hair growth, any shampoo and conditioner with biotin works great. For dry, frizzy hair or if you color your hair often, any shampoo and conditioner with keratin is a must.

I personally swear by biotin, it’s changed my hair game. It’s never been this thick or shiny. Been doing it since 2020 because work stress during the early stages of the pandemic took a toll on my mental health which also adversely affected the quality of my hair. I have recommended biotin based shampoo/conditioner to a lot of women in my life and it seems to have worked for all of them.

For skin care, I have a four step morning routine and 2 step night time routine:

1. Vitamin C based face wash- improves skin color consistency since it’s really good at diminishing sun spots/hyperpigmentation spots.

2. Hyaluronic acid based serum- retains moisture and makes skin look more supple.

3. Retinol based moisturizer- anti-fine lines, slows down formation of wrinkles.

4. Sunscreen with at least SPF 30- rain or shine, inside or outside. Every single day. Total must for all genders.

At night, I wash my face with 1 and moisturize with 2.

Lastly, once a week, I use a turmeric based face mask. For reducing any skin irritation/inflammation.

Also, to whom it may concern, I didn’t start the above skin care regimen until my 30s. I only wore a basic moisturizer and sunscreen throughout my 20s because I could care less and thought that was enough. So if you feel like it’s too late to start at whatever age, it is never truly late to start with whatever regimen that works for you. 🌸

Thank you Khaala jaan

Yes I'm definitely going to a derma soon and also try a biotin based shampoo.

For skin...I have started using retinol...just once a week for now.

Do you use the retinol based moisturizer during the day?

I especially loved the last part of your reply.

It really is never too late.

I'm k desperately seeking haircare.

It's thin, frizzy and breaking. Had a haircut yesterday for the same.

My skin is fine. Just need an even tone

I'm doing Cetaphil facewash, moisturizer and sunscreen. That's it. Though I need more for getting rid of dark circles.

Please suggest

Dark circles are so tricky to treat....

Are you taking enough rest and sleep?

You can try the cucumber on eyes thing for Dark circles I guess.

Ok I'm loving these replies from men.

I’m not skincare expert but one thing that literally change my skin in 6 weeks was using retinol/trent from pharmacy

Its literally a 200 rupee tube that works better than any cream I’ve tried

Use only a pea sized amount and spread it all over face

Wait 5-10 mins (ideally 20) for it to absorb. Then apply your moisturize.

Don’t use any other actives the day you use it.

Be very careful about sun exposure

And use retinol 3 days a week.

Rest your usual skincare

This is the product you are looking for if you are in india

Ooohhh Tritinoin has been on my list for so long.

Definitely gonna ask my derma for a prescription. I'm currently using Epiduo and it has literally saved my skin from acne.

Thank you!

My hair falls a lot too, I just bought a new shampoo - Tresemme Beauty full strength. So I'll try that out and let you know how it goes!

Thanks queen.

Is Tresemme a good shampoo?

Shampoo and medicated shampoo. Ask a professional to prescribe you as different people have different needs. I used to have dandruff. Some things like t gel and pantene don’t work for me as I have a sensitive scalp.

Regular haircut.
Skincare

Sunscreen every day
Moisturiser

Facewash for sensitive skin

Ice

How often do you use ice? Do you find it beneficial?

Honestly, I find bathing in the blood of the innocent and a little night time satanic worship does wonders for your skin.

Okay. You look pretty innocent to me. 😈

Coming for your blood!
