  • 15 Face Washes and Cleansers to Fight Dry Skin

    15 Face Washes and Cleansers to Fight Dry Skin

    Beauty fifty years ago was applying the cream of the milk (Malai) to your face before sleep. It was simple and laid-back. Today, we can probably find 15 different products just for the beautification and care of the eyes. The innovation of multitude of products is appreciable, but only if one knows how to optimize each one of them correctly. Today, lets dig deep into Face Washes and Cleansers, the difference between the two and which are the best available ones in India.

    So, a face wash is basically a product that is used to clean your face, face cleanser is also used for similar purposes but a face wash is washed while the face cleanser is wiped off. The major difference between the two remains that Face Wash produces foam, while Face Cleanser does not. Face Cleanser is also mostly used to remove makeup, while Face Wash does not have any such restrictions. Another difference we can put forward is that Face Wash, though not necessarily, is often used in the morning to open the pores; while Face Cleanser is used at night before sleeping, so as to remove the dirt that piled up during the day.

    Below listed are some highly recommended Face Washes and Face Cleansers for dry skin. Besides using the right products for dry skin, maintaining a proper night time skin-care routine is also necessary. Do read about it too, while you are at it 🙂

  • Zodiac Signs and Their Fashion Sense

    Zodiac Signs and Their Fashion Sense

    Do the stars have anything to say about the way you dress? Apparently, they do!

    Astrology divides all humans into twelve signs based on their birth dates. All astrological signs are  unique and each of them is beautiful. One of them is you. Read ahead to find out whether our pick, is what you had in your mind or not  😉

    Aries – You are bold and adventurous and well, so are your clothes.

    Aries is hot-headed. But hot still remains the key word there. This woman wont shy away from buying that deep plunge, cocktail sheath or trying that shimmery blue  bodycon top you found too bold to purchase. Modern as she is , Aries woman also has a soft spot for authentic dresses and don’t be surprised if she looks equally beautiful in an Anarkali suit, as she does in those Western Wear.

    Color for Aries – Crimson

    Taurus – Comfort with chic is this chick’s motto.

    Taurus women are genuine and natural. You my friend,  don’t  beat around the bush regarding who you are and remain comfortable in your own skin. Your clothes speak the same language. Taurus is lovely without ever being tacky or trashy. Flowery dresses, comfortable palazzos, multi coloured Kurtis, and funky jumpsuits are these signs’ jam.

    Color for Taurus – Olive Green.

    Gemini – I am an Air Sign; I detest boredom – might it be with my people or my clothes.

    You my dear Gemini, are not the one to repeat an outfit after wearing it twice. Those born in Late May and Early June have a reputation for being restless, don’t they? Their wardrobe is filled with prints and patterns, maxi dresses and comfortable shorts.

    Color for Gemini- Pumpkin Orange

    Cancer – Moody, but you won’t know it from the clothes. No matter how I feel, I dress up like a Cancer.

    One possibly can’t use Astrology to confirm who is the best dressed sign. But if you care for my two cents, I will vote for Cancer without batting an eyelash. Their sense is delicately developed. You will often see them slaying in monochrome outfits, oversized sweater and baby blue boyfriend jeans. Others would be stealing the spotlight with their designer dupattas that totally go with the jhumkas they added last minute to the outfit, without even looking twice.

    Color for Cancer – Pearl White

    Leo – The lion is always royal and sophisticated.  Would you expect my style to be anything less?

    Not all Leos are fashionable. But, name a one that went  even to the post office in shabby, careless clothing and I will pay you 100 bucks myself. Most Leos like attention. You would spot them in Baby Doll Dresses and crop tops with pair of cool sneakers. I have never met a Leo who did not have half her heart in her shoes. The ones who are not so feminine, would wear a checked plaid shirt or a simple graphic tee, and still capture your eye with their precision for choosing only the best.

    Color for Leo- Golden

    Virgo – Dainty and detail oriented. Classy but Cute.

    The most meticulous of all signs, Virgo you are definitely prim and proper. Yourr outfits carry planning and nothing is  ever out of place. Hightail ponytails, delicately painted nails, V shaped pointed shoes, Trench coats and high neck tops is what makes your closet. You are the last sign to wear something flashy or too revealing.

    Color for Virgo- Nude Shades

    Libra – I am associated with Venus, literally the planet of beauty, does it seem I would lack any?

    You social butterflies like to be updated with everything, don’t you? Might it be tie and dye tee shirts or clay rings, you are already one step ahead of everyone else. Denim shirts, cute headbands, pleated skirts, animated tees, huge hoops and comfortable joggers are few items Librains are bound to have. The Libra woman is flirty and she is outgoing, and it shows in her clothes.

    Color for Libra – Navy Blue

    Scorpio – Mystery magnets crafted with elegance and poise!

    The moment this woman walks into the room, you know she is going to take over it. High-heeled stilettos, velvet chokers, pearl necklaces, camisoles, bomber jackets and comfortable snug jeans make her wardrobe. If you are a Scorpio, you are naturally more drawn to dark, intense colours. Your style is sexy, but always leaves something to the imagination, instead of giving it all away.

    Color for Scorpio – Raven Black

    Sagittarius – Feisty yet feminine, Sag is an alluring adventure.

    Some women prefer demure net dresses. Others show up in mom jeans with a basic white tee. Your Sagittarius Sass Queen is a bit of both. Her go to essentials include funky shorts, shrugs, stylish baguette and backpacks with gold themed accessories.

    Color for Sagittarius – Lilac

    Capricorn – I look like I just came out of a Pinterest board, and boy do you love it.

    I am the boss bitch and my clothes speak that before I do. Capricorn and Cancer not only make a good friendship, they also add to an excellent fashion catalogue in itself. Thigh high boots, comfortable sweatshirts and hoodies, bell sleeves, matte lipsticks and goth looks constitute a Capricorn’s fashion fundas. Did I mention how piercings look extra dope on this goat sign? Well, I said it now.

    Color for Capricorn – Grey

    Aquarius – Unorthodox and unconventional, I am not hesitant to switch it up.

    Remember Phoebe from F.R.I.E.N.D.S with her eccentric looks, all ranging from grandma cardigans over printed maxis and faux fur coats to those beaded neckpieces and dangling earrings? Unsurprisingly, she is a typical Aquarius woman- a whirlpool of colors and fashion drafted into one, and somehow, still gorgeous. Combat boots, hair slides and eye make-up govern her style.

    Color for Aquarius – Neon Yellow

    Pisces – A bundle of dreams paired together with a splash of zeal.

    Subtle but sexy? The woman you are describing sounds like a March born to me. This water sign is intuitive, she follows her heart instead of the current trend. Maybe that’s why she is easy to spot in a room, it is almost as if her aura is radiating bright. Skirts paired with stockings, dainty tops with a well fitted piece of denim, lots of black leggings and everyday changing hairstyles, is how you describe this sign. Dear Pisces, you probably have a thing for earrings too, don’t you?

    Color for Pisces- Bubblegum pink

     

    So, this was all for this time. Did you like your Mood board or did an opposite sign’s style catch your eye? Don’t worry, fashion is versatile, feel free to take inspiration from any of the horoscope signs and recreate your own looks.

    Just remember to be yourself and laugh a little, because no matter what your sign says, a smile will always be the best accessory a woman can ever wear!
