Just a few hours after I have my skincare on, my skin looks darker and duller than usual. The same happens when I wake up with my nighttime skincare on? I'm curious if its just me?

Why does my skin look dull?

So I finally won a giveaway in 2 years in Picky, and now I get the email that they cancelled my giveaway win because the brand can't ship to India 😭 Then why even let me win in the first place. This is so disappointing. 
Feela  like Picky really isn't global anymore.

Picky cancelled my giveaway

As a regular participant of the giveaways hosted on Picky, I have noticed that they hardly pick winners based in India. Is it just me or does any one else feel the same. 

We can't even participate in Picky box sales or other sale events since Picky/brands won't ship to India 😭

Wish our country would ease up with the custom regulations and prices

Has anyone from India won any of the giveaways?

Hi Guys,
Wanted your opinion on whether being a SPS or PS gives you an advantage at winning giveaways. 
I am a content creator from India and was a SPS in the past but lately I have been lacking the motivation to visit the picky app.
The giveaways were a huge factor in drawing me to the app and now that they are mostly US based or Tiktok based has really been disheartened. I see a couple of global giveaways but haven't won any in ages (not sure if it's due to my follower count or content style)
So I would like to know if being a SPS helps in giveaways so that might give me some motivation to start actively posting on this app again.

Does the Picky Squad determine your chances at Giveaways?

Omg! I just checked my profile today and realized that I became a SPS (Super Picky Squad) member. I hadn't even applied for it. 

Did the criteria suddenly change? This was a surprise 

Secretly hoping that this somehow increases my chances at being picked during giveaways since, people from India end up getting excluded 😅

Unexpected Surprise

HaruHaru Wonder "Aashi"

SKINBAE code "AASHI"

SUBLIME LIFE "AASHI10"

1. This does contain some essential oils which might not be for everyone.
2. This should be marketed as a spot treatment because I have seen a lot of people mistake it for a moisturizer and apply loads of it only to end up looking like ghosts.
3. Contains Alcohol ( This is not exactly a con for me)
4. The product is a bit on the pricier side so it&#39;s suggested to be used as a spot treatment.
5. Would not recommend having this on during the day since the Zinc oxide would leave a white cast even if it&#39;s applied thinly and layering might let it get cakey.

1. This product is the first in the line of defence of my ACNE COMBAT SQUAD.
2. I spot redness or any new pimple about to start raging, I reach out for this product to placate them.
3. This does somewhat live up to its claims of fading acne scars *
4. This works the best prior to breaking out (rather than on the actual pimple)
5. The best part of this treatment is that, unlike others that dry up the pimples, this focuses on soothing and calming the pimple.
6. Using this post the pimple patches, helps in healing the acne faster.

Nothing bad for me, but it might not hydrating enough for dry skin types

This sunscreen has been my favourite find this year.

1. The texture works wonderfully for oily acne prone skin
2. Travel friendly packaging
3. Non greasy and no white cast
4. Works well under makeup
5. Fragrance free
6. Great for humid weather 

Not readily available in India
So it's a expensive for a sheet mask (single use)

1. This actually works in calming down breakouts. 
2. I love using this at night and then following up with my usual skincare.
3. I even store the left over essence to help when my skin feels irritated

1.Titanium dioxide is the only UV filter. (Usual filters being Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide which is why I would not recommend this for long time outdoor trips)
2. It just PA+++ (just shy of one more +)
3. This leaves a slightly sticky feeling on my skin that I combat using baby powder.
4. Not water or sweat-resistant.
5. Does not help with oil control ( the absence of Zinc Oxide might be the cause)
6. Does contain essential oil (Orange peel and Lavender)

1. I am in love with the texture. This is such a lightweight watery essence type texture, without the usual thick creamy texture that a lot of physical sunscreens have.
2. Leaves no white cast and no residue. So all skin tones can use it without worry.
3. It subtly moisturizes my skin so I can skip the moisturizers in winter.
4. Super blendable and did not pile under the tone-up creams that I used.
5. I actually enjoyed using this in winter.
6. This is great for indoors and light-outdoor activities sunscreen.
7. Has a mild citrusy smell, which isn't too overpowering.
8. Did not sting my eyes.
9. Does not contain any denatured or drying alcohol.

1. Non sticky and hydrating toner, great for layering and for the summer.
2. This helped calm my inflammation after taking off my pimple patch
3. Slightly acidic so acts as a gentle exfoliator 
4. Most suitable for oily/combo skin
