The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum is a popular skincare product known for its ability to target various skin concerns. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, helps to regulate oil production, minimize pores, and improve uneven skin tone. Zinc, on the other hand, aids in controlling sebum production and has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin. Together, they work to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin, making it a staple in many skincare routines. It's generally recommended to use it in the morning and/or evening after cleansing and before applying heavier creams or moisturizers.

I just put on sunscreen to go to sleep

nurturing my natural self (part 3)

Disclaimer: I made this, like all my other posts, for myself, but if you are reading this, I'm not a doctor, and this is basic researched knowledge. If you realize that you need help, please seek a doctor!

A Clean Slate

Everyone's skin is different, reflecting my unique experiences and heritage. It possesses its own characteristics, needs, and inherent beauty. By recognizing and celebrating these differences, I can tailor my skincare routine to enhance my natural beauty and promote healthy skin. "My Skin is Different: A Canvas for Personal Expression." Just as artists employ various techniques to showcase their unique styles, I can use skincare to express my identity. Caring for my skin is not solely about aesthetics; it’s about honoring and showcasing my true self. The textures, scents, and ingredients blend together harmoniously, creating a symphony of care that celebrates individuality. By viewing my skincare regimen through this artistic lens, I invite creativity into my self-care practices, fostering a deeper connection with my skin as it flourishes into its most radiant self.

Ingredients: There are plenty of ingredients out there that can boost skin health, both natural and chemical. Natural options like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and chamomile are great for hydration and soothing irritation. On the flip side, chemical ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and salicylic acid can brighten the skin and help with acne. Just keep in mind that “natural” doesn’t always mean “better.” It’s all about finding what works best for you and your skin. What helps Kayla might not do the same for Kiara!

- Niacinamide: Reduces redness, brightens skin, minimizes pores, and strengthens the skin barrier.

- Aloe Vera: Soothes sunburn and hydrates the skin.

- Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates, plumps fine lines, and improves elasticity.

- Glycerin: Attracts moisture and enhances skin texture.

- Lactic Acid: Gently exfoliates and brightens dull skin.

- Ceramides: Restores the skin barrier and retains moisture.

- Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Hydrates and promotes skin healing.

- Chamomile Extract: Calms inflammation and soothes sensitive skin.

- Green Tea Extract: Contains antioxidants and reduces inflammation.

- Squalane: Provides lightweight hydration and balances oil (the hydrogenated version of squalene, which is found naturally in our bodies and unfortunately oxides quickly, which makes it more stable and gives it a longer shelf life).

- Zinc Oxide: Offers sun protection and soothes irritation, treat itching, skin infections, chapped skin, and skin conditions.

- Retinol: Stimulates collagen, reduces wrinkles, and treats acne.

- Adapalene: Prevents clogged pores and reduces acne lesions.

- Tretinoin (Retin-A): Targets anti-aging, acne, and improves skin tone.

- Vitamin C: Brightens the skin, antioxidant protection, stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin firmness and reduces wrinkles, reduces inflammation.

- Glycolic Acid: Gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, improves texture, brightens dull skin, unclogs pores and can help reduce acne breakouts.

- Benzoyl Peroxide: helps clear acne by killing acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and gently exfoliating the skin to prevent clogged pores, making it a highly effective treatment for mild to moderate breakouts. Please note: there's been some concern over trace amounts of benzene (a carcinogen) in some over-the-counter products. However, benzoyl peroxide itself is not inherently linked to benzene contamination. It’s a good idea to choose reputable products to minimize risk. for that reason, i wasn't going to include this in the list but i do feel it necessary to inform anyone who uses these products that may be reading this.

BUTTTT you don't need a ten-step routine to achieve great skin. these are just product ideas for specific targets & remember to always patch test and find what works for you.

Lifestyle Changes: Adjustments in diet, hydration, and stress management that can positively impact skin health.

Professional Treatments: Procedures performed by dermatologists or estheticians, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments.

Over-the-Counter Solutions: Products available without a prescription that target specific skin concerns (e.g., anti-acne creams, moisturizers for dryness).

Holistic Approaches: Methods that focus on the whole body and mind, such as yoga, meditation, and herbal supplements.

Nail care

all about keeping things simple and healthy. Regularly trimming your nails, filing them, and moisturizing them with natural oils like jojoba or almond helps prevent breakage and keeps them looking neat. Keeping them trimmed also prevents snagging, while moisturizing makes them stronger and less prone to splitting. It's an easy way to have strong, healthy nails without relying on harsh products.

Body care

Your body needs just as much love as your face when it comes to skincare. Exfoliating, moisturizing, and protecting it from the sun is key. Like your face, the rest of your skin needs regular cleansing to get rid of dirt and oil, exfoliation to smooth things out, and hydration to stay soft. Don’t forget the SPF on areas like your arms and legs to keep them safe from sun damage, which can lead to premature aging and uneven skin tone. I usually follow up with some perfume/body spray/scented body oil.

During hot days

Apply antiperspirant in the morning, and wipe off existing deodorant before reapplying throughout the day to prevent buildup and ensure better adherence. Carry travel-size wipes or body sprays to freshen up, especially if you can’t shower. Additionally, choose lightweight, loose-fitting, and breathable fabrics like cotton to help wick away sweat and allow for better air circulation.

Feminine Care

Many feminine washes and vaginal deodorants are advertised as must-haves, but most gynecologists say they're not necessary and can actually do more harm than good. These products can throw off your vagina's natural pH balance, leading to issues like irritation, dryness, and even infections. Instead of those products, just stick to a good, sensitive skin, unscented antibacterial soap for cleaning the vulva. That’s all you really need to keep things fresh without messing with your body's natural balance. Additionally, opt for breathable cotton underwear, steer clear of douching, and consult with your gynecologist if you have specific concerns or experience unusual symptoms.

Oral Care

For mouth care, in addition to regular brushing and flossing, there are a few other practices that can help maintain oral hygiene.

- Oil pulling: swishing oil (typically coconut oil) around your mouth for 10-20 minutes. Benefits: Thought to help remove toxins, reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, and freshen breath. It may also support gum health and reduce plaque buildup. it contains the bacteria pulled from your mouth so rinse mouth and brush teeth after after. Do not swallow.

- Tongue Scraping: a tool used to scrape your tongue to remove bacteria, food particles, and dead cells. helps prevent bad breath and supports overall oral hygiene. It can also enhance your sense of taste. use a tongue scraper (or the edge of a spoon) to gently scrape from the back to the front of your tongue.

- Hydration: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day bc water helps wash away food particles and bacteria in your mouth, and it keeps your mouth hydrated, which prevents dry mouth, a condition that can lead to bad breath and an increased risk of cavities.

- Fluoride Mouthwash: mouth rinse that contains fluoride, which strengthens enamel, helps prevent cavities, and freshens breath. using it after brushing and flossing adds an extra layer of protection against decay.

- Baking Soda: natural mild abrasive that helps whiten teeth, neutralizes acids in the mouth, and removes surface stains. Some people use it as a toothpaste substitute or mix it with their regular toothpaste. mix a small amount of baking soda with water to form a paste and brush with it, or add it to your regular toothpaste.

- Whitening Strips: thin, flexible strips coated with a whitening gel containing peroxide that helps lighten the color of teeth by breaking down stains. to us it, follow the instructions on the package for use. overuse can lead to sensitivity, so use sparingly.

- Dietary Choices: eating a diet low in sugar and acidic foods reduces the risk of cavities and enamel erosion. foods like crunchy vegetables (carrots, celery) help clean your teeth as you chew.

- Regular Dental Visits: see your dentist for cleanings and check-ups at least twice a year. professional cleanings remove tartar and plaque buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss. dentists can also spot and treat potential issues early, such as cavities or gum disease.

- Probiotics: beneficial bacteria that can support your overall and oral health that may help balance the bacteria in your mouth, supporting gum health and reducing bad breath. consider taking oral probiotics or including fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, or sauerkraut in your diet.

Other Essential Tools for a Complete Oral Care Routine:

Soft-Bristled Toothbrush: Gentle on gums while still effective at cleaning.

Electric Toothbrush: More efficient at removing plaque than manual brushing.

Floss: Helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth.

Water Flosser: Uses a stream of water to clean between teeth and under the gumline—especially great for people with braces or tight spaces.

Ear Care

To care for your ears, gently clean the outer ear with a soft cloth or cotton swab, but avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. Your ears usually self-clean, so routine cleaning isn't necessary unless you notice blockage or discomfort, in which case consult a professional. Protect your hearing by limiting exposure to loud sounds and using ear protection in noisy environments. After swimming or showering, dry your ears thoroughly to prevent infections like swimmer's ear. Avoid invasive practices like ear candling, and if using over-the-counter ear drops, follow instructions carefully. Lastly, go to the doctor if you experience pain, hearing loss, or dizziness, seek medical advice and consider regular hearing assessments to detect any changes early.

Routines

Face : A basic routine includes: cleansing + toning (optional) + moisture + SPF. i do skin masks at night of the beginning and end of every week, not forgetting to give my skin a break at least one day a week. I have oily skin so I start with cleansing to remove dirt and impurities. I follow up with exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells and reveal a brighter complexion if exfoliating is needed. After that, I apply a good moisturizer to hydrate and keep your skin supple. Finally, don't forget sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage. At night, i cleanse my skin with the same cleanser (La Roche Posay Toleriane foaming face wash), I use The Ordinary's salicylic acid/The Ordinary glycolic acid (each at least once a week), then I moisturize with La Roche Posay Toleriane matte facial moisturizer, and finally my La Roche Posay Anthelios melt in milk SPF 60. I plan to add niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to my routine, buy one of those vibrating exfoliators, buy more sheet masks, try more diy masks & find a vitamin c that won't oxidize as quickly as others. These steps work together to keep my skin healthy and radiant.

- Body : I have dry skin. shower with sensitive skin, antibacterial soap, Dove or Simple. Then if i exfoliate that day (exfoliate 2-3 times a week), I use either dry brush before my bath or i use exfoliating gloves with my body wash, which is usually either Dove or Olay. I heard good things about african net cloths so i definitely plan to buy a few of those. Then I rinse and use Palmer's cocoa butter +vitamin e butter, then their vitamin e oil on top. and then my sunscreen. I also wanna try glycerin.

- Feminine : Use a gentle, unscented antibacterial soap to clean the external area (vulva). Avoid harsh soaps and douching. Exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and prevent bumps. Use a gentle scrub once a week, being careful to avoid the opening and any sensitive areas. After cleansing and exfoliating, apply a gentle moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Look for products that are fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin. Avoid irritable ingredients and ALWAYS PATCH TEST.

- Oral : Start your morning routine by flossing to remove debris and plaque from between your teeth, followed by brushing with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes using a soft-bristled or electric toothbrush. Rinse with fluoride mouthwash to protect your enamel and keep your breath fresh. After meals, rinse your mouth with water to clear any leftover food particles. In the evening, consider oil pulling with coconut oil for 10-20 minutes before brushing again with fluoride toothpaste. Use a tongue scraper to reduce bacteria on your tongue, and finish with a fluoride mouthwash to protect your teeth overnight. Weekly, you can use baking soda or whitening strips sparingly to brighten your smile. Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet, while regular dental check-ups are essential to keep your teeth in top shape.

A guide to dry skin !! ˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧˚.⋆

As both dry skin and eczema girly I have learned that I really need to be cautious of my skincare and body care (which I chose to ignore back then and ended up stripping my skin TwT) to prevent white flakes obliterating my face every morning and night. So for all my combination/dry skin fellas out there that need tips, I gotchu! -- to the best of my knowledge.ヾ(￣▽￣)

To decide whether you have a dry skin type, try to find out if you often get flaky, rough, or tight feeling on your skin after washing your face with a normal cleaner. Dry skin can also constantly get itchy most likely due to dehydration, if you feel confident about your skin type being dry, then you're recommended to focus on keeping your face moisturized and hydrated. And lastly, make sure you're getting enough vitamin D, vitamin A, niacinamide, zinc, or iron as being deficient in these nutrients can result in dry skin.

I recommend you try out products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe vera extract, and ceramides since these are very fresh for your skin! And it's best to stay away from harsher ingredients like alcohol, isopropyl, and sulfates also preventing too much scrubbing/exfoliating!

Now, it's finally time for my favorite parts, skincare recommendations! From the products I have (bravely) tried for the sake of healing my skin, I will leave out a few product recommendations that I LOVE with my favorite ingredients from each of them -- please feel free to also leave out your skincare recommendations, I'd trust more than tiktok, but of course, do research beforehand.

[mashriqiyyah]

If we want to promote the boycott of is-not-reali products, we need to give substitutes and options for it.

Now, I also remember sisters asking me for my skincare/haircare routines, and I wanted to give a detailed article on that, but now it ain't about the time.

So, here, I'll try to compile these two topics.

Skincare that's effective without using any israeli/american product.

First of all, I don't have a skincare routine. I don't follow any step by step process. But, I do use products that help me keep my skin clean and hydrated.

And the most important advice I'll give to sisters is not to go for "skincare brands" that give pea sized products in bag size money. These industries are mostly scam. Always go for drugstore products. Those that are created for medicinal purposes oriented towards genuinely healing the skin problems. And if you don't have any active skin problems, don't expose your face to various products for achieving "perfect skin". There's nothing like that. Normal skins have occasional pimples, pigmentations, dark spots and uneven texture.

Anyway.

If you're going for drugstore products...

Go for phrama companies like Cipla and Reddy's Laboratories.

I personally use Reddy's Venusia Max moisturizer as my skin gets extremely dry often. If you have dry n normal (combination) skin you can use it. And if you have oily skin, go for squalane based moisturizers from Derma Co.

Next in line, if you want to use any serums, vit C is best for skins and there's a product by Cipla "Rivella Vit C and HA Serum" it's soothing, and effective. Alhamdulillah.

As a face cleanser or what you call as face wash, there are very brilliant new company products from DeConstruct that I love love love because they are so gentle on face and keep your pH balance and moisture intact (great substitute for Dove soap)

Then there's one more important aspect on skincare that's protection from UV...so you'll need a sunscreen. Go for Regaliz Truederma SPF 50. It's efficient. Alhamdulillah. Or Minimalist Suncreen spf 60 + Niacinamide incase you wanna go economically minimalistic. Derma Co Zinc Sunscreen is good too (one that comes in orange coloured pack)

Now, these four things are more than enough to keep your skin good.

Cleanser, Serum, Moisturizer, Sunblock.

Apart from that if you still wanna have some extra products...not from drugstore but excellent Indian brands...then Go for Pilgrim or Minimalist. They have best the ranges in every product.

And then comes Haircare...

Boycott Garnier. Boycott Loreal Paris. Boycott Head n Shoulders.

Go for St. Botanica. The Shampoos are sooooo great. Allahummaabaarik. SLS, Paraben Free, Actually formulated for cleaning dirt from hairs and reduce hair problems. Conditioners too are effective and they actually work as they advertise. If not St. Botanica, mamaearth would be good...but I didn't see it's results as best as St. Botanica.

For lipbalms though, you can go for Mamaearth. The shades are subtle and help keep your lips hydrated and avoid pigmentations. Stop using Ponds, Vaseline, Nivea. .PLEASE!!!! Their lipbalms do nothing but make your lips darker and greasy.

Makeup, I don't use tbh. But few years back, I had gotten a lipstick from MyGlamm and a Foundation of Biotique. They were good. You can go for it.

Bodywashes, Feet scrubs - Bodywise

Hair removal gels/creams - Sirona

Perfumes - Ajmal / Maison De Fouzdar are best. No doubt.

I'm sharing this post not to promote any sort of "self care" in this situation....but as an essential need of substitutes. Infact these substitutes are way better and effective than the Israeli American products we've been wasting our money on.

I have tried to mention most of the things used by women because that's the biggest market for Israeli products.

If you are an Indian, promote Indian brands 'cause we gotta "make in India" ;)

For that we need to use only that which is "made in India"

Go ahead...you can add anything else I might've missed. And yes...If any Mother's seeing this, let us know baby products that are made in India.
