SKIN IS IN!

SKINCARE DOS AND DON'TS THAT MAY HELP YOU COMBAT YOUR SKIN WOES

- Priyanka Acharya

Skin is in baby! And I'm not talking about revealing outfits, though that is certainly the case too. The five years before the pandemic hit were dominated by heavy, glamorous make-up, with beauty YouTubers disseminating tips and tricks formerly limited to professional make up artists. Influencers and celebrities alike came out with their own make-up lines, and terms like "contour" and "cut creases" became part of daily lexicon. At that time I had a toddler and an infant, and after putting them to bed my mind was too mushy to commit to a full episode of a TV show. Instead, I found YouTube make-up tutorials to be soothing, and was captivated by how you could literally paint yourself to have a chiselled nose, fuller lips, and J Lo glow. This revelation plus the availability of many brands, led to my love for full glam, and the best part of a night out was actually the getting ready process.
