Hey guys! Today I've brought you my number one beauty secret, I was thinking about making this a series, maybe or maybe not, who knows? I'll go with the flow. So as you can tell from the title, it is BABY OIL. Whaaaaaat? India why is BABY OIL your number one beauty secret, what about the best primer, or the best lipstick, or anything that is beauty related? Well, I'll tell you, baby oil has revolutionized my life. When I was a little kid my mom always used to make us put baby oil on our knees and elbows to keep them moisturized in the winter. Well, now as an adult I still keep it up.
Reasons why baby oil is the best
1. It is super cheap, you don't even have to spring for the fancy stuff to get the same result
2. It smells incredible
3. Almost everyone has it in stores
4. You can completely replace body lotion with it.
So, I have completely transitioned off of using body lotion to using baby oil. It is so so so moisturizing and keeps your skin looking shiny and beautiful without the constant lotion application. I use it after I take a shower and I just take a little quarter size for both my legs and both my arms. Just make sure you rub it in so you actually see the results. The one I love is the target brand baby oil with aloe and vitamin E, and the best part: It's only $3.02 for 20 oz.
That's all I've got for you all today, I've got a Morphe palette review coming soon, leave any of your beauty secrets below!

Hey everyone, It's India here with my nighttime skincare routine! I have accumulated a multitude of products that work for me and these are the ones that I have found most effective. I have combo dry skin that gets oily on my nose and cheeks (surprisingly not forehead).
So first I gently cleanse my face of any makeup with the Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser (6.77 oz). One thing about this cleanser is that it is difficult to wash off because it is not very liquidy, it has more of a gel consistency. However, this is one of the best cleansers I've ever had in my life, if you've never used it before, the first time you try it, your face will feel really cold and you can feel the charcoal drawing out all the bad things in your skin. It's very mild which I appreciate because my skin doesn't react well to harsh cleansers. My high end comparison of this cleanser (well at least it's effects on the skin) is the Lancome Creme Radiance (4.2 oz, $25) but I like the price tag of the Biore one better.
Next I use the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash in Pink Grapefruit to cleanse my face. First let me say, this stuff smells amazing. It doesn't dry out my skin even though I double cleanse and my dermatologist even recommends it. It contains Salicylic Acid so it does fight breakouts, however it is quite strong and can irritate super sensitive skin.

(Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel, 1 oz, $25)
Next I put this gel on any blemishes I can feel coming through my skin. Now I have seen a significant difference when I use this product but it does burn a little bit because the Salicylic acid is really strong. I do blow through this and it gets expensive so use it sparingly. |
Lastly, I use the Cera Ve moisturizing cream, to restore moisture to my face. This stuff WORKS. I used to be the biggest fan of the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer but I've switched over to this one because it absorbs so fast and your skin feels hydrated due to the hyaluronic acid. This isn't anything for daytime though because it is very thick. Also, my dermatologist recommended this to me too for sensitive and dry skin.
Then I go to bed and sleep the night away :)

So I recieved this lotion as a present a few days ago from one of my lovely friends and I thought I'd pop in and do a quick review.
So for anyone unfamilliar with Bath and Body Works products, they have 4 main sections: Candles, Soap, Hand Sanitizer and Lotion. They come in a variety of scents from Warm Vanilla Sugar to Japanese Cherry Blossom. Their lotions can be a hit or miss on both scent and the formula itself and they tend to arrange from around 9-12 USD for 236 mL of product which in my opinion is rather cheap due to the fact that they have a plethora of coupons at your disposal.
So this lotion retailed for 11 USD and claims to fortify with "powerful ingredients like super conditioning she's butter, fast absorbing Jojoba Oil and protective Vitamin E" It comes in the standard packaging which isn't amazing nor disappointing. It does absorb astonishingly fast (in seconds!) and the lotion is indeed very moisturizing. The scent, I believe, may not be everyone's cup of tea as it is slightly sweet with floral tones and berry undertones
Rating: 10/10
