Hello sweeties! So winters are finally here—that too in their full glory!
Especially for us cold souls (pun intended) residing in Delhi and mostly the
whole of north India, the winters are chilly and drying—trust me when I say
this, excessively drying! And dry, parched looking skin never is a good sign,
and a good session of skin-pampering never hurt. But why do we need to take out
special time for a special love-thy-skin session when we can get the desired
results by just switching a few products of our daily use?
Confused much, dig in to know more!
How To Get Nourished
Looking Skin Which Looks and Feels Healthy?
So we all know the basics of skin cleansing—cleansing,
toning and moisturising daily! And adding on the goodness of using a facial
scrub and soothing mask once or maximum twice in a week! But this winter, we at
beauty and beyond decided to go au natural with our skin care and switched to
the products provided to us at the Vedic Collection Bloggers meet held in New
Delhi!
My Skin Care Regime
To start off with the cleansing regime, I generally used a
lathering face wash and used to love the results it yielded, till the time I
got my hand on this purely organic face wash tub!
Tatha Face Wash
(Almond)
Curated with the luxuriant goodness of Coconut oil, Sesame
oil, Almond oil, Almonds and Honey, the tatha almond face wash is the first
step to a skin care regime which yields a glowing skin with regular usage!
I could actually feel almond peel on my face, and though it
does not lather but it does give a very smooth and cool feeling on the skin.
Yes, it does have a slightly cooling effect but nothing too stingy or of that
sorts!
Apply a small amount to moist face and neck and spread
evenly. Massage gently using a circular motion. Rinse off and pat dry. I
personally love the feeling it leaves my skin with!
Tatha Face Scrub (normal)
After the Face wash comes the need to exfoliate (once or
twice a week) and for that I tried the Tatha normal face scrub which is made
with a blend of Avena Sativa, Prunus Amygdalus Var. Dalcus, Apis Mellifera,
Prunus Amygdalus Var.
The scrub is dry and powdery and perhaps needs to be mixed
with water in order to activate it. It does a good job at exfoliation and if I
am not wrong, I could feel grounded almonds in this scrub as well which of
course, is bound to give a nice exfoliated yet nourished feel to the skin. No,
it is not abrasive—brownie points for that!
Gently massage this scrub with fingertips on wet face and
neck, concentrating on nose, forehead and chin. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid contact
with eyes. I use it once a week, and it is more than enough to yield the
results I desire—and I do have problematic skin!
Tatha Clay Mask
(normal)
The last thing in my weekly pampering session which I wrap
it up all with is a good soothing mask which feels smooth on the skin and
leaves my skin feeling supple and polished! And this clay mask from the tatha
line is a match made in heaven for me and my poor skin needs.
This super-awesome clay mask in powder form is infused with
the goodness of Rosa Damascena Essential oil and the purity of White Clay.
Smooth over face avoiding the delicate skin around the eye
area. Relax and allow it to dry for 10 minutes. Splash off with warm water and
pat face dry. Use once or twice a week! And because it is in powder form, it is
so much more mess free—take some of it on your palm and either add a few drops
of water onto the palm and smooth the mask all over your face or take the
powder and smooth it all over your wet face! The best part is that it dries up
in 10 minutes—only 10 minutes girls! No more binge watching your favourite
soaps while having to wait for the mask to get tacky—leave alone dry! So 10
minutes it is and you are left behind with the best skin of your entire
existence! J
Tatha Rose Serum
On a Daily basis I add up a nice serum—nowadays going with
the Rose Serum, again from the Tatha collection!
And guys, though not the best
out there in the market—but for the fragrance and the light weight texture
which seeps right in with one blending motion on the face—this serum made me a
fan! And as I said, man oh man, it smells heavenly! <3
Moisturiser
So tatha provided us with two moisturising variants—one a
lightweight day time moisturiser, while the other being a heavy-duty night time
moisturiser
Tatha Day Cream—this white coloured, extremely light weight
cream is so luxuriantly blendable and goes right into your skin. The best part,
it does not weigh down the skin even the tiniest bit and is not at all oily.
Tatha Night Cream—is a yellowish waxy kind of a potion, not
exactly a cream but butter. It is more like an oily potion which looks very
heavy and oily when applied but does not feel so! It makes your skin feel so
supple and waking up after having let your skin seep in the benefits over night
is the best feeling in the world. Even in this drying weather I do not wake up
to stretchy cheeks, which is bliss!
So here we go with the perfect skincare regime for this dry
winter season without having to go too out of the way! All you need is the
right blend of products and you are good to go!
