Some of you might already be a PRO in your CTM routine. Facial Cleanser, sunscreen, moisturizer, exfoliator etc pretty much sums up everything that you need for your CTM to work. But, there are still a lot of people who never really use a face serum. In this post, I will be detailing on why it’s required to use a face serum and how a face serum works. I am also featuring three different face serums from Dot & Key Skincare that you can incorporate to your skincare routine.
What is a serum?
It’s not a big deal. A serum is a concentrate of active ingredients, which targets one’s specific skincare concerns, and the ingredients are made up of smaller molecules, yet powerful. The level of active ingredients in a face serum is higher than what it’s in a usual face cream.
Adding serums to your regular skincare routine can make a big difference to the way your face look and feel. Unlike your moisturizer, serum has no fillers, containing the highest concentration of active ingredients. If yoiu compare—cleansers and moisturizer contain between 5 and 10% active ingredient, whereas serums can contain up to 80%. Whether you’re looking to even your skintone, fade away those fine lines or wrinkles, brighten your complexion by fading the dark spots, firm your skin — A serum does wonders.
In consistency, Serums are much lighter and penetrates deep into the skin layers faster than a moisturizer, thereby keeping your skin hydrated without any greasiness.
Choosing the right Serum for Your Face & When to use a Face Serum
How well formulated a serum is, if its not right for your skin type – It’s of little use. if it isn’t a match for your skin type. If you’re looking for a face serum for oily or combination skin, look for a fluid or lightweight lotion serum which goes weightless on skin. For dry skin, you’ll likely love a serum packed with emollients and antioxidant-rich
Depending on your skin type and concerns, a serum can be used either once or twice per day. During the day, you would apply before your daytime moisturizer with SPF; at night, it can either be used on its own or applied right before your night time moisturizer and eye cream.
Designed to meet every skin concerns and skin type, Dot & Key’s range of face serums penetrates deeply, rejuvenating the skin and maintaining the healthy glow. They recently launched 4 different face serums and in this post I am featuring three which they kindly sent over to me. I have been mixing and matching these with other products in my skincare routine since few weeks now.

If you are a regular reader here, Yay! you’d know by now my never ending love for this brand, Guerlain. When Guerlain launched in Nykaa. I knew exactly what I wanted to try. These hydrating matte lip colors ‘ KISS KISS MATTE’ range from Guerlain was already in my wishlist. Guerlain Kiss Kiss Matte Lipsticks are supposed to be hydrating and plumping on lips and these have the intensity of a lipstick and the comfort of a balm. A subtle spice extract gives the impression of voluminous lips, while precious oils and hyaluronic acid smooth and hydrate them.In this post I am featuring three beautiful shades from them which suits Indian skintones.
Lipsticks are something that I never get bored of. The beautiful packaging which is inspired by the luxury leather goods from the Paris Fashion Week is something that you can’t skip. L’Oreal Paris Luxe Leather Lipsticks really did drew my attention and I instantly fell in love with three shades from this range. Though never a fan of L’Oreal Paris lipsticks that tend to uproot from the base. I couldn’t resist this purchase. I got myself the shades : 292 Shellie’s Plan, 294 Melissa’s Fingertips & 291 2AM with Arya. In today’s post I am swatching these three shades. Let’s get started!

These days, We all are concerned a lot about eating the right food. Starting from the supermarket shelves, we reach out for products labeled “gluten-free” and “all-natural.” etc. Well, When you think that one must eat foods that contain natural ingredients; shouldn’t the same apply to your skincare? Most skincare products available today have parabens in them. Though, cosmetics regulatory has accepted to include parabens in skincare products for many years, recent researches have shown that exposure to parabens may cause reproductive issues, and are also linked to an increased risk of cancer. It’s important to look for skincare that’s free of harmful chemicals, irritants, preservatives, allergens etc.In today’s post I am introducing another fabulous Indian Skincare brand I came across.
Fiducia Botanicals is an all naturalhandcrafted Indian skincare brand which focuses on the use of high performance active ingredients, They have a variety of skincare products to suit every skintype and address every skin concern.
Do you follow a proper skincare routine? Or, Are you someone who prefer to fall asleep every night and not worry too much about what is on your skin? With every other brand claiming their products to be natural, It’s quite a leaden task to pick one among the lot. Not long ago Since I heard the story of a mother from India, who began creating soaps and skin care products when her newborn required special products to combat his dry, sensitive skin. Steering clear of harsh chemicals and synthetic perfumes, Suganda products are all natural – free from parebens, petrolatum and SLS. I first heard about Suganda after my friend Krupa featured few products from them. Through her insta story I got introduced to this Indian household brand.
I tried four different products from them and put to test for over a month and in this post I am going to feature each of these product in detail and also how to use them alone or in combination for a problem free skin.
