Meet The Blogger – Althea Lobo

1. What is your name, where do you blog, and what are we likely to find there?

My Name is Althea Lobo and I’m a business advisor from Amchi Mumbai. Recently I quit my Job, since I’m getting married soon and need time for shopping and stuff. So you can expect to see a lot of bridal stuff on the blog. AlSo im a full time blogger now. I blog at www.beautygyaan.com. Initially I started this blog for skincare stuff but soon got obsessed with makeup. Now i think I should change the blog name to MakeupGyaan. I blog about makeup, reviews,Health, bridal products, fitness, tutorials, reader queries and nail arts sometimes.

2)What are your favourite type of posts to write and read?

I love to read reviews and write on makeup brands, reviews, health & fitness related topics. Im a gym & yoga freak. Exercise in any form & color in makeup makes me happy. Infact, I keep changing my blog theme color every now and then.

3)What is your skin care routine?

Summer face wash – clean & clear or Auravedic neem puply face wash.
Winter face wash – Avon teatree Scrub face wash.
Eye cream – Nomarks. 
Moisturiser – Aaranyaa DNA repair cream.

These are all my HG products and I stick to them, Unless Im trying to use a new product for review. Most of the times I use face packs like multan mitti, besan & haldi for washing my face and baking soda for scrubbing. I Believe in using natural homemade ingredients as much as possible to avoid the chemically loaded products.You’ll be suprised as how effective these homemade cleansers are. Also I never use toners as I’ve noticed,it doesnt make much difference to my skin.

I dont do full makeup everyday. I believe your skin needs to breathe. But on a regular basis, I use orange corrector+concealor for my eyes, compact, Lipbalm or lipstick. Foundation are restricted to occasions and functions or if im doing a tutorial.5) Whats your skin type?

I have combination skin type with an oily T-zone. Although it relatively drier these days due to the winters approaching. I love winters. Since this is the only time I can pamper myself with rich moisturisers and use foundations daily without having the fear of breakouts.

6) What’s the one piece of advice you’d give to any blogger?

Blog posts has to be consistent and you need to be on most forms of social media which creates an awareness of the blog. Also plz plz plz refrain from copying articles & pictures from other bloggers. It creates a negative image of your blog. Im sure everybody knows the amount of time & effort we put in to create a post. So be original.

7)How did you come to know about www.wiseshe.com
