With changing seasons, sometimes I try to stir up my skincare regimen. It does make me nervous, and I am super cautious, what if doesn't turn the way I expected? Lately, I have been inclined towards natural & clean skincare items, that's how I came across Riovea & their illuminating series.Riovea "Found the River," a skin brightening and illuminating series that are based on real natural ingredients. The foundation of Riovea's secret is the "TrioActive" formula. TrioActive is obtained from select medicinal plants including neem and Lithospermum Erythrorhizon, using a non-invasive extraction technology. TrioActive is rich in natural vitamin E, fatty acids, antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-fungal that work synergistically to improve skin elasticity, protect skin against free radicals and microorganism, help reduce the redness and swelling. This rich formula nourishes, rejuvenates, and protects the skin against everyday environmental stress and signs of aging.
Even after using sunscreen at all times, I do get sun spots & dull skin.  Having makeup-free skin has been my dream. I have been using Riovea 4 step series since the past five weeks twice a day, and slowly, I have seen a change in my skin its luminous & my dark spots have started to fade.
Riovea products are over 95% natural and formulated without any of the following ingredients: parabens, petrolatum, mineral oil, alcohol, synthetic colors, sulfate detergents, PEGs, PPGs, phthalates, urea, DEA and TEA.
I would continue using Riovea & its illuminating series. Meanwhile, try this sweet deal use "ANKITA20" to get 20% off your order on Riovea.com.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is not only for clothes, shoes, accessories it's a perfect time to stock up on beauty items especially for skincare and makeup and of course that something you wanted to try forever. I have had trial and errors with so many items but I've realized now what my skin likes. I am pretty religious about my skincare routine so these are items I use daily.
My hair has a tendency to get frizzy, this pillowcase has been my favorite. It not only keeps my blowout in place but keeps my skin wrinkle free too ( great value). Secondly, I love hot showers that mean dry skin in store. This moisturizer keeps my skin super soft, and it lasts me more than a year! I swear.
I am big on home fragrance, somehow fresh smelling home is the nicest feeling ever. Last year these were sold out, I keep one of this in every room. Plus they act as a humidifier too, no special oil needed. This year I stocked on these candles and these diffusers too. They smell divine.

FAVORITES

As they say, Beauty lies within I like to take Vitamins before sleep time. Hum vitamins are on sale right now. I've seen a change with them, they keep my locks strong. Grab them before they sell out. Last year, I got this perfume and I am so glad I did. It's the best floral fragrance and bet it would lighten up your day for sure. And, Chanel fragrance is on sale too.
Simplehuman mirror is the best splurge ever, I use it so many times in a day especially for eyebrow tweezing.You just can't go wrong with it. There are so many other options too.  Charlotte Tilbury and Dior lipsticks have the prettiest shades to choose from.

One of the questions I am asked “How do I manage my hair especially its length” and I answer I don't cut my hair. Here's my story. I use a lot of different shampoos and conditioners and typically buy whatever catches my eye at the store, thinking it smells good, lathers well, make my hair softer, etc. Its pretty overwhelming to see so many products and choose one. When it comes to hair care, I am pretty particular about my shampoo, conditioner and other styling products. Of course, there are a zillion of products to try in the market, but how do you know if it would suit your hair needs. I have been on the lookout for hair products, sometimes drugstore, salon products, etc. I try and toss them away result is starting from the scratch again.
Well.what if I tell you if you can customize your hair product aka your shampoo, conditioner, and mask? It was an excellent opportunity to review Prose, and chance to discover new hair products specifically tailored to my hair type and to see what works for my hair. I took their quiz online to access my hair’s unique goals and needs, plus my  diet and styling habits and even where I live to account for geo aggressors like pollution, humidity, water quality and U.V.   Since I learned that my hair was in fantastic condition but I need some frizz control and volume, but that's something I chose how I want them to be. Here are few things I would like to share, I take my vitamins, and I blow dry and use a straightening or curling iron 2-3 times a month.
I was so concerned about the ingredients to my surprise, and they use 76 natural active ingredients including argan oil, hyaluronic acid, silk proteins and pea sprout extract. Select one of 7 exclusive fragrances created by a renowned perfumer in France, or opt to make your formula, fragrance-free. No parabens, mineral oil, dyes, sulfates, and GMOs. I can also choose to make my formula vegan, gluten-free or silicone-free.
My power trio - a shampoo, conditioner, and mask formulated by their team of chemists.
Pre- Shampoo Mask: To use before shampoo to repair the deepest of damage, rebalance my scalp or provide deep conditioning.
Shampoo: Prose shampoo is designed to cleanse my tresses and protect from lifestyle aggressors.
Conditioner: It meets all my hair goals, from shine to volume and protects from heat as well.
My last verdict, its been few weeks I started to use my Prose hair regimen, I feel my hair has strengthened, they break less, much softer and more volume than before. I think these products can be used for long and again I can customize them, according to how my hair feels. I am already signed up for life.!
