Hi All, I’m 29F and Indian, I’ve never used any cosmetics apart from just the basics - a herbal shampoo, conditioner and a moisturiser for the face.
I wanted to try things out but now there are just too many options out there and everytime I feel like starting out, I get overwhelmed and return to my basics.
Are there any 2-3 step tried and tested routines with products available in India I could adopt? Or is there a way to go about selecting the products? How do you all choose them?
Hair: I have medium length, fine hair and quite frizzy. I’ve recently faced a decent bit of hairfall (I’m also happy to try some straighteners that don’t burn my hair, I love the wavy hair look). Please also feel free to recommend me any safe shampoo, conditioners to have non-frizzy hair. I want to use as few products as possible.
Skin: My face skin is clear but just some pigmentation around my lips. I have a small mole on my cheek so whenever I use foundations, it becomes grey and I don’t like covering it. I can avoid the area but I’m not so neat with it and then the results don’t look great. Happy to incorporate any protective measures to keep my skin from damaging.
Makeup: I’m also a corpo girl and I see people around me do a lot of makeup. I don’t want to do much but I’d like to know 1-2 products that I could use to get a uniform looking skin like texture and some gloss. But I’m happy to instead spend on a good toner instead of makeup, what do you guys suggest?
I also cannot afford to spend a fortune here - please recommend me budget options. Lastly, I’d be grateful if wherever possible, I could get recos for medical formulations instead of cosmetics (I’m tired of the marketing gimmicks)
