Skincare Diaries #3: Add A Layer Of Protection To Your Face With The Right Kind Of Moisturizer
No matter what your issue is, we have got your back as we present to you how you can choose a moisturizer that is meant for your skin type.
When it comes to the beauty industry, you'll always find conflicting views on what to swear by. This makes sense, as everybody's skin is different, and hence, deserves to be treated differently.
That being said, certain basics have persistently been classed as absolute must-haves. A cleansing face wash, a mild scrub and a stack of mask sheets - these are skincare essentials most of us have heard enough about and bought in plenty. These staples are as likely to snag a place on the beauty checklists, as they are in our skincare cabinets.
But today, we'd like to take a while, to talk about products that don't nearly see enough light of the day, even though they more than deserve to. We're talking about skincare game-changers, pure magic in tubs and tubes.
Hence, we curated this list of 5 under-rated beauty products worth getting a hold of!
1. Sleeping Mask
A face mask that works wonders on your skin, while you rest in a deep slumber doing nothing...why would you pass this one up!? Especially if you're a mask enthusiast, a trusted overnight mask is something you would adore. Not only do the ingredients penetrate your skin deeper and for longer than an average face mask, but a sleeping mask also acts as a wonderful barrier between your pores, and dirt and dust.

2. Tinted Moisturiser
Some days, you step out with a perfectly blended full-coverage foundation. But some days, your skin needs something much lighter, yet almost as effective in brightening your face. For those days, a tinted moisturiser comes handy! As the name suggests, it's essentially a moisturiser with some tint blended into the formula, such that the product not only hydrates your skin but also leaves a polished and flawless appearance. As a beauty product, it falls somewhere between a BB cream and a regular moisturiser.

3. Dry Shampoo
As someone spending way too many of her high-school days applying talcum powder in her hair to combat greasiness, finding a dry shampoo as an adult was nothing short of a miracle. Especially if your hair is tricky, and by that, we mean, getting dry on washing it too often, and look greasy when you don't, dry shampoo is worth every buck. The ingredients in a dry shampoo soak up the excess sebum from your hair and give it a good wash, without the need of water at all. I'm referring especially to busy days, or when you're travelling outside, or have a host of social engagements to attend to. As an emergency life-saver, dry shampoo truly does the job remarkably well!

4. After-Shave Balm
We realised the importance of this beauty product very recently when one of our colleague's bi-weekly wax sessions came to an abrupt halt. With no parlour waali didi to her rescue, shaving off the hair was the only resort left. But dealing with the after-shaving bumps and ingrown hair became too annoying. So, she decided to invest in a balm to combat these issues, and trust us when we say that it is a saviour.
From reducing itching to reversing skin damage and closing pores to preventing bumps and healing razor burns, an after-shave balm is a staple product.

5. Peel Pads
Quick, hassle-free and super-effective, that's how we love our skincare products. So naturally, peel pads needed a mention. These are especially not all that popular, but with a good set of these, you'll find your skincare regime entirely transformed. It's a deep-exfoliation product, that you simply wipe across your face for an instantly bright and nourished look. Especially Glycolic peel pads, and those meant particularly for acne scars, work exceptionally well. They reduce spots, remove dead cells, exfoliate your skin, unclog your pores, and smoothen your skin tone, all with a single wipe! This product tends to be slightly towards the pricier end, but investing in a pack is well worth the money.
