Simple ways to boost your beauty routine
Want to amp up your look? Beauty expert Shobana Lakkavally joined us with simple ways to boost your beauty routine.
She says beauty can be transformative and easy at the same time.
Skin
Lakkavally says an easy way to boost your beauty routine include using a serum that does a lot of different things for your skin.
She recommends the resurfacing Compound by U beauty. It has become a cult favourite because it replaces a number of serums while exfoliating at the same time.
“You don’t have to wipe off the serum after putting it on, it doesn’t irritate your skin and it doesn’t flake,” said Lakkavally.
Summer Glow
She says another cult favourite is the three in one Ilia Super Serum which has SPF, skincare active ingredients and colour.
“You have to use SPF during the winter because there are UVA rays and SPF is the best way to prevent premature aging,” said Lakkavally. “Using a beautiful product like this is a great way to simplify your routine.”
Hair Love
Lakkavally recommends giving your scalp and hair the same love and customization you give your face by using a line that addresses the hair’s needs specifically, versus hydrating, i.e. Kerastase Curl Manifesto, Chronologique, Specifique.
“I encourage you to get really specific about [how you treat] your hair if you want to see long-term results,” said Lakkavally. “You want to keep that salon, blow-out look.”
She says to consider using an oil after washing or a serum for healthier hair.
Body Love
She says to think of skincare for your body. This includes serums and oils that increase hydration especially during the winter months. She recommends Moroccan Oil.
“Moroccan Oil has a beautiful night serum for the body,” said Lakkavally. “It’s a night serum because it helps spread out your skin care routine because you may not have time.”
Change the Texture
She says for more skin-like natural looks, use cream shadows and blushes. Apply the blush to the top of the cheekbone versus apple. She recommends Rare Beauty.
