why your friends are your family

Actually, get on

Unlike family gatherings, you are totally confident in knowing that a gathering with friends will not lead to a row over a game of Monopoly, which results in someone tipping over the board.

You actually get on a lot, have a ton of things in common and any time spent together is full of laughter.

Always together

You’re almost joined at the hip because that is how much time you spend together.

Whether it is going to the gym, watching a new boxset, doing a bit of shopping, you always have a friend tagging along. You can happily spend a whole month together and not get bored.

Morning Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin: The Simple Steps That Actually Work

Description: Discover the perfect morning skincare routine for radiant, glowing skin. Learn expert-backed steps, product recommendations, and common mistakes to avoid for visible results.

I used to splash water on my face in the morning and call it skincare.

Then I'd stare enviously at people with that luminous, healthy glow—the kind that looks like they're lit from within. I assumed they were blessed with perfect genes or spending hundreds on fancy facials.

Turns out, I was wrong on both counts.

One morning, my dermatologist friend watched me rush through my "routine" and said something that changed everything: "You're sabotaging your skin every single morning. Five extra minutes could completely transform your complexion."

She was right. Within three weeks of following a proper morning routine—nothing expensive, nothing complicated—people started asking what I'd done differently. My skin looked healthier, brighter, and yes, genuinely glowing.

The secret? It wasn't about more products or spending more money. It was about doing the right things in the right order.

Today, I'm sharing the exact morning skincare routine that transformed my skin—and can transform yours too. This isn't influencer marketing disguised as advice. This is dermatologist-backed, science-supported skincare that delivers real results.

Because glowing skin isn't about luck or genetics. It's about consistency with the right routine.

Let's build yours.

Understanding the Morning Routine Purpose

Before diving into steps, let's clarify why morning skincare differs from nighttime.

Evening routines focus on: Repairing damage, deep treatment, regeneration

Morning routines focus on: Protection, hydration, creating the perfect base for makeup (if worn), defending against environmental damage

The key difference: Your morning routine prepares and protects. Your evening routine treats and repairs. Both are essential, but they serve different purposes.

Why this matters: Using heavy nighttime products in the morning can make skin greasy. Skipping morning protection leaves skin vulnerable to UV damage, pollution, and moisture loss.

Step 1: Cleanse (But Not How You Think)

Time: 1-2 minutes

The Mistake Everyone Makes

Over-cleansing in the morning strips your skin of natural oils produced overnight—oils that actually protect and nourish your skin.

The truth: Unless you have extremely oily skin or applied heavy night products, you probably don't need a full cleanse with harsh face wash.

The Right Approach

For most skin types: Use lukewarm water and gentle splashing, or a very mild, hydrating cleanser.

For oily/acne-prone skin: Use a gentle gel cleanser with salicylic acid to control oil without stripping.

For dry/sensitive skin: Skip cleanser entirely—just splash with lukewarm water. Controversial but dermatologist-approved for many dry skin types.

For combination skin: Use gentle foam or gel cleanser on T-zone, water everywhere else.

The Temperature Truth

Cold water: Feels refreshing but doesn't cleanse effectively. Can be too shocking for sensitive skin.

Hot water: Strips natural oils, causes inflammation, can worsen redness and dryness.

Lukewarm water: Perfect. Cleanses effectively without disrupting skin barrier.

The method: Splash face 10-15 times with lukewarm water, or gently massage cleanser for 30 seconds, rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with clean towel—never rub.

Step 2: Toner or Essence (The Hydration Layer)

Time: 30 seconds

What Toners Actually Do

Modern toners aren't the harsh, alcohol-based astringents of the past. They're hydrating liquids that prep skin to better absorb subsequent products.

Choosing Your Toner

For dry skin: Hydrating toners with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or rose water

For oily skin: Lightweight, oil-controlling toners with niacinamide or witch hazel (alcohol-free)

For sensitive skin: Soothing toners with centella asiatica, chamomile, or aloe vera

For dull skin: Brightening toners with vitamin C, licorice root, or gentle AHAs

The Application Method

Option 1 - Pat method: Pour small amount into palms, gently pat onto damp skin (most absorption)

Option 2 - Cotton pad: Soak pad, sweep across face in upward motions (also provides gentle exfoliation)

The key: Apply to damp skin immediately after cleansing. Damp skin absorbs better than completely dry skin.

Popular budget options: Rose water, Thayers Witch Hazel (alcohol-free), basic hyaluronic acid toners

work

In physics, work is defined as a force causing the movement—or displacement—of an object. In the case of a constant force, work is the scalar product of the force acting on an object and the displacement caused by that force. Though both force and displacement are vector quantities, work has no direction due to the nature of a scalar product (or dot product) in vector mathematics. This definition is consistent with the proper definition because a constant force integrates to merely the product of the force and distance.

Natural Beauty Tips Without Expensive Products: Your Kitchen Is Your Beauty Salon

Description: Discover proven natural beauty tips using ingredients from your kitchen. Real results without expensive products—tested remedies for glowing skin, healthy hair, and natural beauty.

Let me tell you about the day I realized I'd been scammed by the beauty industry for years.

I was 24, standing in my bathroom, staring at my collection of beauty products: ₹2,500 face cream, ₹1,800 serum, ₹900 face wash, ₹1,200 hair mask, ₹1,500 body lotion. Total investment: Over ₹15,000.

My skin? Still breaking out. My hair? Still dry and frizzy. My wallet? Empty.

Then my grandmother visited from our village in Kerala. She's 68. Her skin glows. Zero wrinkles. Hair thick and black (okay, some grey, but still thick). Her secret?

"Beta, I've never bought a face cream in my life."

I laughed. "Nani, seriously, what do you actually use?"

She walked to my kitchen. Picked up coconut oil, besan (gram flour), turmeric, and honey.

"This. This is what I use. And it costs ₹200 total. Lasts three months."

I was skeptical. But desperate. So I tried her routine for three months.

The results shocked me.

My acne cleared up. Skin started glowing. Hair became softer. Dark circles reduced. And I saved ₹4,500 in those three months alone.

That's when I understood: The best beauty products aren't in expensive stores. They're in your kitchen.

Over the past six years, I've tried 50+ natural beauty remedies. Some worked miraculously. Some did nothing. Some made things worse (turmeric stains are real, folks).

Today, I'm sharing the ones that actually work—tested on my own skin and hair, backed by my grandmother's 68 years of experience, and costing almost nothing.

Because beauty shouldn't require a personal loan.

The Foundation: Why Natural Actually Works

Your Skin Doesn't Need 47 Ingredients

Commercial Face Cream Ingredients List: Aqua, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Niacinamide, Propylene Glycol, Methylparaben, Fragrance... (continues for 40 more ingredients)

You can't pronounce half of them. Your skin can't process most of them.

Natural Ingredients: Honey. Milk. Turmeric. Aloe vera. Your body has been processing these for thousands of years. It knows what to do with them.

The Markup Is Insane

Commercial Product:

Manufacturing cost: ₹50
Packaging: ₹30
Marketing: ₹120
Brand markup: ₹300
You pay: ₹500

Natural DIY:

Ingredients: ₹30
Container (reuse old jar): ₹0
Marketing: ₹0
You pay: ₹30

Same results. 94% cheaper.

Grandmothers Knew Something

Before ₹2,000 serums existed, women had glowing skin. Before ₹1,500 hair masks, women had thick, lustrous hair.

How?

They used what nature provided. And it worked.

Face Care: Glowing Skin from Your Kitchen

1. The Daily Face Wash (Besan + Milk)

What You Need:

2. The Weekly Glow Mask (Multani Mitti + Rose Water)

What You Need:

Multani mitti (Fuller's earth): 2 tbsp
Rose water: Enough to make paste
Optional: 1 tsp honey

Method:

Mix into smooth paste. Apply thick layer on face and neck. Let dry completely (15-20 minutes). Wash with cold water.

Why It Works:

Real Talk:

This won't remove dark circles overnight. Genetics, sleep, and lifestyle matter more. But with consistent use (2-3 months), it does help lighten them.

My Results:

Week 1-2: Mostly just relaxing (felt nice, no visible change)
Week 4: Slight reduction in puffiness
3 Months: Dark circles noticeably lighter (not gone, but improved 30-40%)

Mix coconut oil with vitamin E (pierce capsule, squeeze out oil). Apply thin layer on face before bed. Wake up with soft skin.

Dry skin disappeared. Morning skin felt soft, plump. Winter dryness completely gone.

Cost: ₹60 for 2 months (coconut oil), ₹30 for Vitamin E capsules

3 tbsp curd (yogurt)
8-10 curry leaves (ground)
1 tsp coconut oil

Importance of Single Parent Family in your life?

Without a spouse taking up time with needs and requests, a single parent has more time – and energy - for the children. Single parents are also able to arrange the family schedule without consulting, or being concerned with, the other parent. Often, single parents are more relaxed with their children because of this.

Advantages Of Single Parenting:
You may have mostly thought that being a single parent can be a hard job, with too much to do, less time for yourself, no time to be out with friends, and hardly any time to meet new people. All that stated, as a single parent, you do get to experience a lot of advantages too. Here are just some benefits of being a single parent that you should give yourself a pat on the back, and a smile on the face for:
