Doctor Priyanka Deepak Gianchandani

Within 6 weeks of using this product (I started to use it in June 2019), this product helped my face deal with small wrinkles My review: this eye cream has been the second eye-cream I have used in a routine, and I must say that it has been great at working with the natural wrinkles I have on my lids. If you do not want to use the lip mask I mentioned above or another lip mask, this product works like petroleum jelly on your lips. I know some of the products in my posts are expensive, but investing in a good skincare routine is very important, especially having a good base is also good for make-up application.

There are several types of skin: oily, normal, dry, combination (two types: oily-to-normal, normal-to-dry). If by the night, your skin is feeling dry, you have dry skin; if by the night, your skin is feeling oily, you have oily skin; if by the end of the night, your skin has not changed, you have normal skin. In combination skin, you will have different patchy areas - for oily-to-normal, you will have oil in the T zone area (forehead, nose), and for normal-to-dry, your cheeks and chin will be more on the dry side. From my background in science and medicine, I do believe it helps with circulation (which essentially might make the claim of it helping with anti-inflammation), as well as, helps penetrate my products better (it does not leave any excess product on my face, and if it truly helps with circulation this would make sense theoretically).

If you are purchasing a foundation online: you can use a electronic tool to help you determine which shade would be your skin tone, It is not a good idea to skin test on your hand, as the color of your hands is not reflective of your skin tone of your face (most commonly due to hyper-pigmentation from the sun).PRO TIP: If you have a foundation that is too light or dark, you can add colors to help you find the perfect shade. Yellow: helps neutralize all skin tones (for any undertone)Red/Orange: creates a more warmer color (more suitable for those who have a warm undertone)Blue: creates a cooler color (more suitable for those who have a cooler undertone)To understand the difference between undertones and skin tones, check out my previous blog post: After medical school, I decided to have a comeback, and now I am using the IG to spread awareness on a plethora of medical and non-medical topics.

After finishing medical school, I had planned to clean out my room in my parents’ house, as well as the section of the basement in which I was hoarding things since the 6th grade 😂 Staying at home during quarantine definitely helped! I completed school in that timeframe, but post-graduation, the standard timeline is to start residency after about 2 months of graduation. However, I will mention this: to increase my chances to match into residency and with the goal to complete all three USMLE Step examinations, I sat for Step 3. In 2011, after winning the title of Miss India International 2011 First Runner-up, I created a platform to spread fashion and other various tips.
