Hey everyone, it's Shalini. Welcome back to my YouTube channel. I really hope you guys are doing well
0:14
So, I have posted a lot of glow up videos on my channel. But I have never posted a dedicated glow up video on PCOD struggles and problems and how to solve them
0:24
Now, I have been suffering from PCOD for the past 6 years almost
0:28
So, PCOD is a condition that affects your hormone. It is an imbalance of hormone
0:33
Because of which your physical and mental health is affected. So, PCOD affects your skin. You do get a lot of body hair and facial hair
0:39
You get a lot of hormonal body acne and face acne. Also, it affects your hair. Your hair gets fine, hair loss, hair fall
0:47
It affects your nails as well. It is very difficult to grow my nails. Even though I like growing my nails
0:52
They break very quickly because the nails become brittle. So, I will be talking about all these problems and I will be also showing you how I like to tackle them on a weekly basis
1:00
So, today's video is a glow up routine of a PCOD girl. So, without further ado, let's begin
1:06
I get facial hair because of PCOD. And I am done with my 2 sessions of laser treatment for my facial hair
1:13
After 2 sessions, this is what the condition of my facial hair is
1:17
There is growth but the thickness has reduced to a very extent
1:21
And I have not shaved my face for over a week now. So, earlier I used to shave my face 2-3 times a week
1:28
But, I have shifted to once a week now. So, first of all, as you saw, I washed my face properly using a face wash
1:35
And after that, I will be applying aloe vera gel all over my face. This is going to act as a lubricant
1:40
It's a very important step because this is going to reduce the friction between my razor and my skin
1:46
After that, using my facial razor, I will start shaving my face in the downward direction
1:51
That is the direction of the hair growth. And wherever I see active acne, I will not use my razor at all
1:57
And this is like an up-close shot that I am giving you. I know up-close or personal, it looks so gross
2:02
But, I have always been real to you guys. I have always shown you the reality of my skin and face
2:08
And I have been so open about my facial hair. So, after shaving my face, I will remove the residue from my razor in a wet cotton pad
2:17
And I will be repeating the same step for my neck as well. For my neck, I will change the direction
2:22
I will be going in the upward direction to get a close shave. My neck is not that sensitive as compared to my face skin
2:28
Finally, I will remove the hair around my lips. I will remove the facial hair that I see on my chin
2:34
And also, between my eyebrows, I will shave the extra hair that I see
2:38
I do have Uni-Brow. I did not shape my eyebrows because there was no requirement
2:42
And then, I will take a wet cotton pad and remove the residue from my face
2:49
And this is the important step that I am doing. That is using an ice roller on my face
2:54
This just helps to cool down and calm down my skin. So, I will use this on my cheeks and neck
2:59
And I am using it very gently. You don't have to use such kind of roller aggressively on your face
3:06
After that, I washed my entire face with regular water. I pat dried my skin
3:10
I am going to apply Niacinamide Serum on my face. Niacinamide Serum has healing properties as well
3:15
Apart from fighting acne marks, it helps to calm down irritated skin
3:19
That is why I applied Niacinamide Serum. After that, I will be applying moisturizer all over my face to bring back hydration to my face
3:25
And this is how I have been shaving my face once a week. I like to follow this routine at night so that my skin gets more time to heal
3:34
Because your skin goes through a healing period. This is the next day
3:39
I am going to be showing you how I have been taking care of my body acne. I think this is the first time I am showing you my body acne in such a close up
3:47
I am not active right now. I have acne marks on my back
3:51
But before this, I was very active. Apart from my back, I have acne around my arms as well
3:57
So, I will be using 1% Salicylic Acid Daily Exfoliating Body Wash by the brand Dermacore
4:02
This is my second bottle of this body wash. I will take a big organic body luffa
4:07
And I will be wetting it first. After that, I will take 2-3 pumps of Salicylic Acid Body Wash
4:13
It has gel consistency by the way. And then I will start massaging it all over my body
4:17
So, how this body wash works is that, this has Salicylic Acid in it
4:21
Which is a BHA. This is oil soluble. So, this works on the deep layer of the skin
4:26
This unclogs the pores, targets acne, blackheads, whiteheads as well. So, this helps to deeply exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells
4:33
I have used this with luffa in my body. But you don't really need a luffa because this is an exfoliator
4:38
So, you can skip luffa and use it with your hands as well. This is also powered by pentamine which helps to boost hydration and lock in the moisture
4:45
Because of this, your skin won't feel dehydrated after using this. This is a sulfate free and a fragrance free product
4:51
If you are not comfortable with body wash, they also have a soap variant for this
4:56
This is their Salicylic Acid Plus Charcoal Daily Scented Soap. This soap comes in two packs
5:00
And you can see that I have already used one of these. And TMI, I mostly like to use this for my body
5:07
Like, butt acne and butt texture. I know, too much information. So, if you are interested in Dermaco products, I do have a coupon code SHALINI2022
5:15
You can use my coupon code and you will get 20% off on their website
5:19
And every time you are going to make a purchase on Dermaco's website, you will be helping a child with their education
5:24
Because Dermaco is going to link your order to a child that they help educate along with Bhumi
5:29
They have pledged to help over 10,000 plus students across the year
5:34
Next step in my routine is taking care of my body. This is the before condition
5:38
It's been 45 days since I haven't waxed my legs and hands. There is a lot of growth
5:43
And I have already exfoliated my entire body. I have booked an at home service appointment for Rolon Wax
5:48
So, a professional came to my house. She set up everything and started the waxing routine
5:53
So, this is white chocolate Rolon Wax that I opted for. This is callophony free
5:57
So, it doesn't give rashes and irritation to your skin. Anyway, when it comes to removing body hair
6:02
I am comfortable with waxing for my legs and hands and also underarms
6:06
But for shaving, I do prefer only hands and underarms. But for underarms, I have been using razor because I might be going for laser treatment
6:13
And I must say I do prefer at home service for waxing treatment nowadays
6:17
Because I stay in a chill and relaxed mood. When the waxing routine was complete
6:22
they did a post wax care. They applied oil on my hands and legs
6:26
So, yes, I do prefer waxing and shaving both. I have told you my preferences
6:31
And that's how I have been taking care of my body hair. Just because I am talking about removing body hair
6:35
you don't really have to do it. This is just a personal choice. After waxing, this is next day actually
6:42
And I will be taking care of my skin, particularly acne marks. I get acne because of PCOD
6:47
Now, my acne has reduced. But acne marks are slowly going away
6:51
And the routine that I am going to show you today, I like to do this once a week just to target acne marks
6:57
So, first of all, I will wash my entire face using a gentle cleanser
7:01
And then I am going to pat dry my skin. After that, I will be using 25% AHA BHA peeling solution
7:06
But I will not use it on my entire face. I will spot treat acne marks and scars
7:11
I have taken Q-tip. By the way, its handle is made of paper. This is not a plastic handle
7:16
I will be spot treating my acne marks. I will apply it wherever I can see acne marks
7:21
After taking some more peeling solution in my palm, I will pick it up and apply it wherever I can see acne marks
7:27
I am using 25% peeling solution. My skin is used to peeling solution
7:31
But if you are a beginner, then you can use 15% peeling solution
7:35
You can try that if you want. And whatever product is left, I will apply it on my nose and chin
7:40
To target whiteheads and blackheads. I don't have that many blackheads, but I do have whiteheads
7:45
I will be keeping this for 10 minutes only on my face. After 10 minutes, I will take my mugha
7:50
Which has water in it. I will start washing my face very gently
7:54
After washing my face, I will go to the bathroom and wash it again
7:58
With clean water. After that, I will be doing 2-step skin care routine
8:02
That is bringing back hydration to my face. For that, I will be using a toner. Which is a hydrating toner all over my face
8:07
And then I will be using a moisturiser. Which is a ceramide based moisturiser
8:11
This will help my skin to stay hydrated. And this is a routine that I like to follow once a week
8:15
For acne marks. This is the last day of this routine. And today I will be focusing on my hair and nails
8:24
Because of PCOD, hair is also affected a lot. Hair thickness reduces
8:28
Hair falls. Loss also happens. And you can see that my hair is very fine and thin
8:34
So I will be giving a hair oil head massage to my hair. First of all, I will detangle my hair
8:39
Using a white tooth comb. And then I will be taking this virgin coconut oil
8:43
This one also has aloe vera and mix of different oils in it. And first of all, I will apply this oil on my hair
8:49
After that, I will massage my hair. So, I have applied this oil on my hair
8:54
And then with the help of the tip of my finger. Not my nails. The tip of my fingers
8:58
I will start massaging. So, I will give a head massage to my hair
9:03
Head massage improves blood circulation. And increases blood circulation on your roots
9:07
And improved blood circulation means. Better absorption of nutrients by your roots
9:12
And that's the biggest reason that I like to give a head massage. And I never used to believe in this
9:17
Until my doctor told me that it actually can help. So that's why I have been lately doing this
9:21
So, I massaged from the front to the back. And for the back, I gave myself a head massage from the front to the back
9:28
I did this for like 10 minutes almost. I am following this once a week nowadays
9:32
So after giving myself a head massage. I am going to tie my hair in a bun. Keep it for like 20 minutes at least
9:37
And then I am going to rinse my hair. First, I rinsed my hair with shampoo. Then I will be applying conditioner on the length of my hair
9:43
Gonna keep it for 2 minutes. Gonna rinse that off. And then I will be towel drying my hair
9:48
After that, I will be completely air drying my hair. And this is a routine that I like to follow once a week
9:52
And it feels so relaxed. Trust me, you have to try it. As I told you
9:59
PCOD is a condition of imbalance of hormones. Which affects the nails
10:03
They become very brittle. And I have been trying to grow my nails. So I am going to show you how I have been taking care of my nail bed
10:09
This is a routine that I like to follow once every 2 weeks. So first of all, I took a nail paint remover
10:14
And removed the old nail paint. And this is the after. You can see that my nails are yellowish
10:20
This is just the residue of the old nail paint. That I already had on my nails. So to remove this
10:24
I will be using a filer. I will be filing my nails very gently
10:29
I won't over file my nails. Alright. I can see some residue on the nail bed
10:34
I will remove that. And after filing my nails. You can see the difference
10:40
I can see a lot of difference. I will be doing the other hand off camera
10:44
And after filing my nails. I will push back the cuticle of my nails. This is a very very important step
10:49
Once every 2 weeks. As I told you. This just helps to make my nails look more put together
10:54
I will say. So you can use a cuticle pusher. But I am pushing the cuticle with my thumb
10:59
And after that I am going to cut the cuticle. Using my nail cutter. Cuticles are just like dead skin
11:03
It doesn't hurt at all. You can see. It came out in one cut
11:07
This was so satisfying to watch. But gross at the same time. And for all the other fingers
11:11
I did that off camera. So after cutting the cuticles. This is the after result
11:15
Nails are looking so good. I won't be shaping or cutting the length of my nails
11:19
Because I will be leaving that to the professional. When I get my nails done
11:23
Just to protect my nail bed furthermore. I will be applying top coat
11:27
This is a top and base coat by Shambor. So I will be applying one coat of this. I can pick another nail paint of my choice
11:32
And apply it on top of this. So that the yellow color protects my nails
11:36
That's why I applied this. After that I moisturized my cuticles. I applied some antiseptic boralline
11:41
All across my cuticles. And then all over my hands. And this is the after result
11:46
And that's how I like to take care of my nails. Once every two weeks. And like try to grow my nails
11:51
So yeah. That's how I have been taking care of my skin, body and hair. Whatever problems or struggles I had
11:56
I told you about them. And how I like to tackle them. I told you that. I like to take out some time and do all this on a weekly basis
12:02
I love to pamper myself. So I really hope you found this video informative. Relatable
12:07
I have posted so many glow up videos. But I have never posted a dedicated glow up video on PCOD
12:13
