Before You Buy – How to Know Your Skin Type (and Why It Matters)

Ever wondered why that “miracle” cream your friend swears by doesn’t work for you? It’s simple — skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all.

• Wash your face and pat dry.
• Wait 30 minutes without applying anything.
• If your skin feels tight → Dry skin.
• If it looks shiny → Oily skin.
• If only your T-zone is shiny → Combination skin.
• If it feels fine → Normal skin.

When you know your skin type, you’ll avoid wasted money and irritation — and pick products that actually work.

Makeup 101 – 5 Questions to Ask Before Your Next Buy

We’ve all been guilty of buying makeup just because it looked good on someone else. Before you add that product to your cart, ask yourself:

• Does the shade match my undertone?
• Does it work for my skin type?
• What’s the coverage and finish I want?
• How long will it last in my routine?
• Is it safe and still within expiry?

These simple checks save you money and prevent “regret buys.”

Healthy Hair Starts Here – Choosing the Right Products for Your Hair Type

Haircare works best when you understand your hair’s needs — especially porosity (how your hair absorbs moisture).

Quick porosity test: Drop a strand of clean hair in a glass of water.

• Sinks fast → High porosity (needs moisture retention)
• Floats halfway → Medium porosity (balanced care)
• Floats on top → Low porosity (needs light, absorbing products)

Once you know this, picking the right shampoo, conditioner, and treatments becomes easy.
