During lockdown period I ate too much oily food and because of that I have acne problem. So I searched and found a very effective facemask of disprin that I would like to share with you all.
Disprin contain salicylic acid which is good for acne. So it is very good for skincare also.

If you have dry skin, go for facewashes which are soap free and very gentle so that they do not remove oil from your skin. Gently apply facewash on your face and splash it off with water.
2. Oily skin
If you have oily skin, use a cleanser which has lactic acid, glycolic acid, malic acid. Apply a generous amount of facewash all over your face and leave it on for about 2-3 minutes and then wash it off. Allow the active ingredients in the facewash to act on your face and help in oil control.
3. Acne Prone Skin –
If you have acne prone skin, use a facewash which has benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid.
4. Combination Skin –
Use a facewash made for oily skin. Apply it on face, gently massage for two minutes and wash it off.

Use a mild gently cleansing lotion.

Ist thing to do when you wash your face is to wash your hands because that’s where all the bacteria, germs sitting. So make sure your hands are clean when you wash your face.
IInd step –
Take off makeup from your skin. If you are wearing makeup then second most important step is taking off your makeup because if you keep on your makeup for long time then it enters in your pores causing other problems to your skin.
IIIrd step –
Use your cleanser. You have to cleanse your face in circular motion from centre of the face moving to the outer side of your face. Massage your face with cleanser for 1-2 minutes.
IVth step –
Use lukewarm water. While you are cleansing your face, use lukewarm water.
If you use cold water it will shrink your pores for few minutes and they are not going to clean well.
If you use hot water on your face, it will dry out your skin and you feel your skin is stretchy, dry, irritated.
After you are done cleaning your face with cleanser, wash it again with normal water. Now pat dry your skin with towel, do not rub it.
Different skin types needs different cleansers. I will tell you about this in my next blog.
Today I am going to tell you how to wash your hair in correct manner so that we did not face problems such as dryness, hairfall, frizz, brittle hair, weak hair roots.
So when you wash your hair, firstly wet your hair then use whatever shampoo you are using currently but do not use a lot of shampoo because it would dry out your scalp and hair. After applying shampoo just massage your scalp, do not rub or scratch your scalp(it’s just going to cause more frizz), instead use tip of your fingers to massage and remove the oil and dirt from your scalp.
Now let’s just wash your hair and also after shampooing your hair cuticles are open so it’s weak and you can really damage your hair if you are too rough with it.
Before conditioning, squeeze all the water off from your hair because conditioner work well when your hair is not dripping wet.
Now use the conditioner and massage all the conditioner into the hair from mid section of the hair working out to the tips, the mid section of the hairs to the tips is where conditioning is required because we did not get nutrients or the supplements that we take, you only get them when hair absorbs it from roots to the mid section of the hair and not from mid section to the tips of the hair. So the mid section to the tips is dry area and you need to treat it, so that’s why we use conditioner.
Leave the conditioner for five minutes on your hair. After that wash your hair with cold water because cold water helps to close down the cuticles of the hair and add extra shine to your hair.
Note – Shampoo is for your scalp while conditioner is for your hair. So we use shampoo on the scalp to get off all the dirt from it. Hair conditioner smoothing down the cuticles to make it less likely to chip.
