Is anybody else having trouble sleeping at night and drinking 3 cups of tea to stay awake during the day?
Can’t believe July is here and it’s more important than ever to stay in #quarantine

Best news I’ve heard today. In a new bid to cancel out whitening and fairness creams, @unilever has announced its part in diversity. Fair and Lovely, the top selling cream in India will have a new name, and mindset too.

Apricot Scrubs were every 90s girl introduction to

Apricot Scrubs were every 90s girl introduction to exfoliation. Fast forward to 2020, when AHA-BHA-PHA toners and essences, have made it to every woman’s beauty kitty. Today we’re going to talk about physical exfoliators (scrubs, washcloths, pumice store) and chemical exfoliators (alpha-hydroxy acids and beta-hydroxy acids) that help you exfoliate your skin. ⠀⠀
✅What Is Exfoliation?
Simply put, it is the process of removing the dead layer of skin cells from the top layers of your skin.
✅Physical Exfoliators
Now, back in the 90s, we didn’t really have anything else because the skincare industry was quite limited, and most exfoliators included an apricot or a walnut scrub (fruits that are naturally granular), and DIY sugar and coffee scrubs soon made their debut with Pinterest. (I still love a sugar scrub on my lips by the way.) To this day, anything that is naturally granular in nature, is often combined with other ingredients and used as a physical scrub. Pumice stones and washcloths are physical exfoliators too.
✅Chemical Exfoliants
Just as the beauty industry became the billion-dollar industry, the stigma associated with “acids” began to dissipate, and chemical exfoliators came into the limelight. In came Mario Badescu, COSRX, Pixi Beauty and Drunk Elephant with their beauty elixir, each showcasing an acid that helped a specific skin concern.
Chemical Exfoliants Are Classified Into:
✨AHA Or Alpha-Hydroxy Acids
Preferred for normal to dry skin, and glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid help exfoliate dead cells, tackle hyperpigmentation too.
✨BHA Or Beta-Hydroxy Acids
Ideal for oily skin, help with controlling excessive sebum and acne. Most common BHAs include salicylic acid and citric acid.
✨PHA Or Poly-Hydroxy Acids
Poly-hydroxy acids are a newer generation of acids. These are bigger molecules and cannot penetrate as deeply as AHA and BHA based chemical exfoliants. However, studies suggest, PHA is less irritating to use.
⠀⠀
Most chemical exfoliants are available as face mists, essence, toners, peel pads and also in facials. Apart from exfoliation, they also counter acne, acne scars, spots and signs of ageing.

So my sister made me realise I haven’t done an introduction post in years.
👋🏼 I’m Manavi, I live in New Delhi, India where I have stayed most of my life. I come from a very close family of 4 where my mom was my best friend (everything from boyfriends to work drama) and my Dad was cool as a cucumber.
✨ I used to hate school till I moved to Bangalore. I really shined and flourished both as a student and a teen in my time at Bishop Cottons Girls High School. ✨I spent some of the best years of my life studying English literature in school and then college. I miss it everyday.
✨ I started working as a trainee producer at India Today which is where I met some of my favourite people too.
✨ I have worked in lifestyle journalism for almost a decade. I’m really fortunate to write for magazines I grew up reading.
✨ my sister and I started blogging in 2009 for fun. Combined, we have had 6 blogs. Now I run a lifestyle blog called Be For Beauty and Pragati runs My Swiss Story on expat life.
✨ I absolutely love skincare and I hope to make my blog section one of the most informative portals of all time.
✨ My primary income comes from my client work: I help strategise content creation and execution for clients. I have also done in-house processes for start ups.
✨my productivity relies on Google sheets, Canva, Trello and Grammarly. Finding process in chaos is my thing!
✨ I spent most of my twenties with others but I’m much happier spending time by myself in my 30s.
✨I’ve made big changes in my diet and I have a long way to go. This is actually the first time I’ve prioritised my health (physical and mental) over work and people. Yup, self love is a real thing.
🐶 I’m absolutely terrified of dogs. My sister and I were constantly attacked by strays growing up and my phobia is still there. Ironically, I watch dog videos everyday.
💍 two years ago, I married @srijan.kaushik and I love him more everyday. I had never lived with a partner before this and on most days, I feel I lucked out.
💍 our most common fights are if i watch new episodes without telling him or elimination rounds in @masterchefau
What about you?
