Hi
Recently, my friend started a clay earrings business and thanks to her followers on instagram, she got few orders the day she launched her jewellery page!
I also always wanted to learn the skills of jewellery making and sewing and tailoring and what not! But on youtube I found resin jewelleries and those were beautiful..
I looked for the prices of resins online and man, they are quite costly to me!!
For the time being, I will focus on my studies and rebuilding my instagram page and using all my skin-cares!
I am happy that I almost emptied moisturiser, micellar water, face scrub, 2 perfume bottles! It have emptied a face wash, sunscreen (name-sake), body cream and a face gel, a shampoo! I have been hoarding these for the last 3-4 years!!
Now I am into wise and conscious shopping and consuming! I have ordered a sunscreen, a face-wash, reusable cleansing pads and a moisturiser as there was "buy 2 get 2 free".
I will take more time to finish facial kit and pedicure kit! I am thinking to try shampoo bars as they are more money saving, more efficient in long run and less waste!
So, are you a minimalist in terms of skin-care? Or just a lazy person like me? Or you like hoarding skin cares? Do you derive out of the world happiness when you finish products within the expiry date?

I only used very basic skin care and that's enough for me. I'm not very worried about my facial routine or anything.

As I am very sensitive to sun and also we have lot of humidity! My skin peels off in winters and in harsh summers! So, I have to take care of my skin! And also blame it to aging!

@asianlady And also I want empty space! Too much of products give anxiety from time to time! I don't wanna waste them by not using them or by throwing them! So, I am really caught up!

@Andini Which serum from Ordinary? That is such a popular brand! There's demand in India for that brand!

Actually for two years, I did not use anything except for cleanser(ocassionally).. So, I am getting myself into habit of cleansing and moisturising! I have skipped the toner part! Once I am done with hoarded stuffs and get into habit of skin care, I will get a serum/essence for me! Which brands do you use?

I've never even heard of shampoo bars.
I do use some skin care products. My skin is really oily so I get acne. (I'm 57 years old and still have trouble with acne. )
My daughter, Pretty, uses a lot of different skin care products. Some she finishes and some she doesn't. I don't ask her about them.

Ordinary is very popular there in US! They have great products! Use a cleanser which has 2-5% of salicylic acid.. But consult your doctor before hand! Cleanse your face twice a day- after waking up, and before sleeping! I have a combination skin! My T zone gets oily!

@anya12adwi My shower gel has 5% salicylic acid and I shower every morning. Then wash my face in the evening before bed. It does help but I still have breakouts.

I actually did not use any products on my skin during pandemic and the year before that!! I noticed, my pores on the skin got inflammed and also I had tiny bumps on my nose! Hence, I started skincare and I don't have those pesky bumps! Touchwood! And my pores are normal now!

@anya12adwi I’m pretty loyal, but do try new brands, too.

Are you loyal to your brands or quite experimental?

I don`t put too much on my face. I just wash it in the morning and evening before going to bed.
