Blessed with high maintenance skin that gets oily and acne prone in summer and a little dry in winter, I keep experimenting with different moisturizers to find the ones that best suit my skin type. and I am so happy to share some which have worked really well for my skin. In this article today, I am covering all options from affordable to mid range to luxury moisturisers that are gentle on our skin type and never cause breakouts.  Here are my top 5: 1. Tatcha The Water Cream  This is one of the most gentle moisturisers I have ever used on my skin.  Usually, I expect my moisturiser to be a multi-tasker — provide youthful glow, brighten skin, etc. —  but this one only hydrates, yet there is nothing I would replace it for. When nothing else suits my skin, I come back to this. It has earned a permanent place in my skin care stash. Overall, absolutely and highly recommended. Tatcha's products are on a whole different level and worth buying.  MRP: 60 $ for 50 ml and 2...

This is one of the best sleeping masks I've tried so far. Improves skin texture, brightens, hydrates and heals the skin while giving a glow from within.  Product claims: Boosting radiance and glow-  The freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask hydrates the skin and enhances the effects of vitamin C products. It's formulated with Niacinamide and Adenosine, which give various skin improving effects and can also be used a gel type moisturizing cream .  Vitamin E  has skin softening, anti-ageing properties, soothes inflammation, and even shields skin against sun damage. Niacinamide is great for those with oily, acne-prone skin as it works to suppress sebum secretion for a more balanced complexion. Adenosine is found in every single one of our cells, to strengthen our skin by promoting collagen synthesis and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in wound healing and regeneration, and improving acne caused by oily skin. Directions : After clea...

Hola beauties! After falling in love with The Ordinary's AHA BHA peeling Solution (Check the review HERE ), I was eager to try more products from the brand. So, I bought two serums: Niacinamide and buffet. Spoiler : The Ordinary products never disappoint and I have absolutely fallen in love with it.

(Oil free, gluten free, vegan, silicone free, alcohol free) Note : While using topical Vitamin C, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM).

The representative at Health and Glow store recommended this product and I bought it. I love dewy products and it is one of them. It makes my skin feel very smooth after applying it. It has fine gold particles that add very subtle radiance to skin. Although I have combination skin that turns a little oily in summer, this serum never feels sticky nor does it make me sweat more. Sometimes I use it as a base to my BB cream bec...

MRP : 100 INR Ingredients : (given in the pic above) How to use : (shown in the pic above) My experience: I was very excited to use it as it was my first ever sheet mask.
