Do you know what is exfoliation? Exfoliation is the process of using a physical\mechanical\chemical product to gently remove all the dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin. Generally exfoliation is of two types - physical\mechanical and chemical exfoliation.
Hello beauties how are you doing? I'm not so good but trying to bury everything that's happening around and taking some time away from all the chaos. The best places to keep me distracted? My blog and my Instagram! If you aren't following me already then please do it right away because you are missing a lot of content!
Today's post is going to be a product review because I see my readers are more interested in them than anything else right now 😊
Have you heard of face scrubs? Face scrubs are used to physically exfoliate your skin and shove off those dead skin cells quickly. Face scrubs can be a little abrasive but they are totally worth it as you get that squeaky clean and soft skin in a jiffy!

Hello all :)
Our skin is always our b at friend and worst enemy. It looks so good when we stay home and breakout exactly at a time we don't want it to, right? If you are with me then let me tell you something - using a good face mask based on your skin type is a good way to tackle the situation 😊
Today I will be reviewing a face mask that is just perfect for my oily skin. It's the Good Vibes Activated Charcoal Face Mask. Good Vibes is a brand exclusively available on Purplle.com and you can always get good discounts, offers and freebies when you buy from the site and I absolutely love this site (#NotSponsored at all!).
Price: 235 INR for 60 gms

The Good Vibes Activated Charcoal Face Mask comes in a cute and compact tub packaging with a beautiful golden lid. It's perfectly attractive at first look! The pack comes with a sealer lid inside so no worries about product spillage.
The Good Vibes Activated Charcoal Face Mask is dark grey\almost black in color (it's made of charcoal duh!) and it has a nice and creamy texture. It has a mild fragrance which is gentle and soothing!
The Good Vibes Activated Charcoal Face Mask spreads evenly and is super soothing on skin. It has a very slight tingling sensation on skin after a few minutes of application which is normal with all clay based face masks - it's an indication that the active ingredients are working their magic on your skin!
As it has charcoal as the active ingredient it's a good face mask for oily and oily-combination skin. I have been using this for quite a while and this face mask works very well on my skin. It removes all the dirt & grime and thoroughly deep cleanses my skin. It also prevents my skin from getting greasy for good 2-3 days of usage which is decent 😊
Of course regular usage is always essential when it comes to any skincare product for the results to last longer and this baby gets a 4.5 star rating from me!! Go ahead and buy it if you have oily skin, you won't regret it!! ❤
Hello readers!
So officially this is my first ever post on my new blog and I think I'm a bit nervous :) I just thought will start off with my rather popular "Know The Basics" series because it's something that would be helpful for many than focusing on a makeup look, right?
So what is a CTM Routine?
CTM is nothing but "Cleansing Toning Moisturizing". When it comes to basic skincare especially face care, these three steps are essential to keep your facial skin clean, firm and hydrated.
Cleansing is the process of cleaning your skin thoroughly with a cleanser\face wash\cleansing device suitable for your skin type.
Toning is that additional step in your routine which can help balance the pH levels of your skin, get rid of all the residues after cleansing, deep clean your pores and also help in tightening them. Using an effective toner can improve the elasticity of your skin thereby slowing down aging. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles helping your skin look better!

Moisturizing is the step where you provide enough hydrating to your skin. A well hydrated skin is always healthy! Adding a layer of moisturizer is like drinking enough water, agree?
Benefits Of CTM Routine
Following a religious CTM Routine can do wonders to your skin and help in improving the overall health and appearance of your facial skin. It also helps in reducing skin aging, prevents frequent skin woes like blackheads, pimples, dark spots and dullness.

When you follow a good CTM Routine it can really help in getting rid of everyday dirt and grime from the surface of your skin and reduce tanning.
Also if you are a regular makeup user then following a good CTM Routine can help in exfoliating all the makeup residues.
Ideally a good and religious CTM Routine is like eating a balanced meal!
How To & How Frequently Should You Follow Your CTM Routine
Always start with a good cleanser and gently cleanse off your facial skin. Gently pat it dry with a towel and once the skin is dry pick up a little of your toner in a cotton pad and gently apply it all over your face. Give it a good minute to get absorbed. Now go ahead and apply your serum\moisturizer in sweeping motion by gently pressing it into your skin. Massage your skin until the product is absorbed completely. Ta-da you are done with your routine!
Follow your CTM Routine twice a day for good results. One during the day (day time skincare routine) and other at night before bed (night time routine). This helps improve your skin quickly giving it a cleaner and better appearance. Also if you are someone who has been combatting pimples, dark spots , dullness etc then following this routine religious can really help in curing them.
Ok now I'm all set to do my CTM Routine. But what products should I choose? How can I know it would suit me? How do I realise it works for me?
