Girl on the Go….

I have been hearing quotes like … “Life starts at 30..“,and a recent one that said, ” Life starts at 40…“. Seriously ?? No matter what age you are IN, what matters is how you take care of this life!! The girl on the go…needs attention, simple everyday tips can help you stay ahead and be smart in time 🙂

Even at the cost of sounding repetitive, I would say never miss your C-T-M routine….Never!! Thinking what is this CTM?? That’s what my sister asked when I asked her about her CTM routine… 🙂 If you know the full form – hey girl – you rock. And if not , its still ok – you have room to learn. So, CTM is Cleansing-Toning-Moisturizing. No matter how busy or hectic your day was. Always remember your skin gives away your age before anything else.
So the next time you want to slip right into your bed wearing makeup or before rushing out for an important meeting, use these simple, non-complicated and EASY-Peesy hacks, to get that flawless skin.

1). No make-up to Bed
I know there are those nights, when you just don’t have the energy or you are too lethargic and just want to jump onto your bed and slip under cozy blankets to wind up, but don’t forget the next morning your skin might just say those dreadful words… I don’t think its working between us☹

It happens to me most of the times and the next day I do feel guilty. Ensure and if I may emphasize it further ENSURE you go to bed with a clean face without any makeup. You need not necessarily require makeup remover, facial cleanser, toner etc etc… You may just use the good’ol wet wipes thoroughly and you are good to go. Needless to say that this might not work well for waterproof mascara or lipstick. Don’t worry you could always use a makeup remover for such heavy duty makeup and then barge in with wipes. P.S. this hack to be used in moderation, don’t make it a routine.

2). Morning Rush Hour
For the girl who is always in a rush, there is a shorter version which will give same results as a complete skin care routine. Of course you need to start with a good cleanser depending on your skin type, there are numerous products available. I would suggest go for chemical free products, even better would be homemade stuff (if you need more gyan or DIYs on this, do mention in the comments section). Follow it up with a toner. Now comes the important step which is basically combining your moisturizer, sunscreen with your favorite BB/CC cream. Voila you get the benefits of all in one go. Take the products in your hand and mix well. To apply: dot the mix onto your face and neck (never forget your neck) and then gently massage. Make sure you don’t overdo the massage, patting and pressing the product will work and make your skin absorb it all. With some mascara and a tinted lip gloss/balm, you my girl are ready to rock and rule.

3). Keep These Always Handy
A good sunscreen, rose water- spray/mist and a tinted lip balm should always be part of your handbags. Never underestimate them. Even without any makeup just a dash of color on lips makes all the difference, and when the color/stain comes with the benefits of a balm, nothing can beat it. I might invest in a lip balm which is tinted and has SPF in it. Also we all know how important and beneficial is a sunscreen so if you are the girl who is found outdoors most of the time, you must have it handy and do keep re-applying after every 2 hours. Trust me it does make a difference. And just when you feel that your batteries are draining out, a few pumps of rose water is all that would need to re-energize and brighten your face.

I am sure most of you must be following the CTM routine, and practice these simple tips. Please share in your thoughts and ideas on how to keep the girl on the go…. always happy and young !!
