• Soft wax
• Hard Wax
• Fruit Wax
• Sugar wax
• Chocolate Wax

Soft wax

Soft wax is the most preferred and widely used form of wax. You know the wax that your parlour lady smears on your body? That’s soft wax (usually made up of paraffin or beeswax.) It’s further divided into two types—hot and cold. To put it simply and as the name rightly suggests, hot wax is heated, softened and is less painful as compared to cold. Cold wax is a semi-solid form of wax that’s already applied on the strips and it’s more painful but effective.

Hard Wax

Hard wax is used for smaller areas of the skin, like upper lips, eyebrows and underarms. This wax is applied on the area when it’s warm and then left to cool down and harden, post which the hair is pulled out. Hard wax does no damage to the skin whereas soft wax can really pull the skin, making it itch.

Both of these are suitable for normal skin, however, if you have sensitive skin, we suggest you stay away from both the above to choose something that’s more suited for you.

Fruit Wax

Do you have sensitive skin? Or does the thought of your parlour lady ripping the strips off your skin dread you? Fruit wax is here to sort you out. It’s enriched with fruit (mostly berries) extract and is rich in antioxidants that aren’t hard on your sensitive skin. It’s gentler than soft wax and doesn’t pull your skin. It can fall on the expensive side, but the results are assured!

Sugar wax

In sugar wax, or sugaring, the key ingredients (apart from sugar, obviously) are lemon and water. We all know that sugar and lemon are God’s gift to mankind, be it for food or skincare! You should opt for the sugar wax if you have oily or sensitive skin, or even if you’re prone to rashes caused due to unknown products. It’s completely natural and doesn’t pull your skin, although it can get a tad bit messy. But that’s almost every type of wax. So, go ahead and give sugaring a try!

Chocolate Wax

Chocolate isn’t just a calorie induced treat that we all love. It’s got a whole bunch of skin benefits that can help achieve younger looking, healthier skin! This property of chocolate is incorporated into waxing. Chocolate waxing not only removes the hair, but also helps you get bouncy, glowing skin. It’s enriched with oils that contain moisturizing properties! So, if you’re looking at combining skincare with hair removal, chocolate waxing is what you should opt for.

Now that you know about different types of waxes for hair removal, go ahead and make your monthly hair-ripping ritual a little more fun!

• Make natural ingredients like olive oil and coconut oil a part of your beauty routine. They’re untreated by chemicals and just half a tablespoon used on drier areas or even on your face as a moisturiser pre-bedtime can help you get glowing skin. Both natural oils are rich in monosaturated fats that hydrate the skin without making it greasy.
• Apply a mask of raw honey on your face and rinse it off with lukewarm water after half an hour. Honey’s a natural humectant which means that the sugar content helps retain water in the skin and helps keep the skin hydrated, moisturised and supple.
• Go the old-school route and make besan and haldi a part of your skin care routine. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory in nature and besan (gram flour) is alkalizing which means it gets rid of deep-seated toxins. A mask made with 1 tablespoon of besan with 1 tea spoon of haldi and a few rose drops will get rid of clogged residue and reveal glowing skin.

• Green tea is known to be a wonder skincare ingredient be is consuming it with hot water or using it in a face pack. To reap its benefits as the latter combine 2 tablespoons of finely powdered green tea with some yogurt and apply it on your face. This face pack cools and rejuvenates the skin and is especially beneficial for women with oily skin.
• Invest in an aloe vera plant. We’ve spoken extensively about the benefits for aloe vera when it comes to skincare. Applying the gel of the plant on your skin once a week can help calm your skin down. It is anti-bacterial in nature which makes it suitable for anyone who’s dealing with acne or bacterial infections. It is especially suitable for those with sensitive skin whose skin turns red post waxing and threading.

• There's a direct link between blood circulation and the health of your skin. Increased blood circulation implies better skin. One way to do this is to work out and practice yoga. Like we've mentioned before, sweating is great for your skin and yoga poses like inversions can help increase circulation to your face—helping to nourish your cells and boost collagen production.
• Keep your showers short and with lukewarm water.
  Hot water strips your skin of moisture making your skin dry and stretchy—over time, this could spell wrinkles and fine lines.
• Hydrated skin is glowing skin, so ensure that you drink three to four liters of water in 24 Hours (starting the day with cucumber infused alkaline water is a good idea) and also include fresh fruits and leafy, green vegetables in your diet. Fruits like watermelon, peaches, papaya are naturally hydrating and will do your skin a host of good!

On waxing the upper lip

“While the skin is stretched when waxing, it isn’t harsh enough to cause any injury,” says Aparna. However, it can have temporary effects on the upper lip like burning or redness because waxing goes considerably deeper into the skin than threading. However, if you have sensitive or oily, acne-prone skin or issues like rosacea, waxing may not be the best choice for your upper lip. “The tugging, heat and wax can cause sensitive or rosacea affected skin to get inflamed and irritated. There’s a chance that oily, acne-prone skin can get folliculitis when waxing isn’t done well,” continues Aparna.

On threading the upper lip

While waxing is efficient for large sections of skin like the hands and legs, threading is better for small areas like the upper lip. “The reason why threading is ideal for all skin types is because the pressure of it can be adjusted accordingly,”Aparna tells us. But, threading is more superficial than waxing, which means hair will grow back quicker. However if not done gently enough, it can cause boils and bruising so make sure you tell your skin technician to go easy before the process.

On laser hair removal for the upper lip

“Laser hair removal is safe for all skin types and shows considerable reduction in the hair growth.” says Aparna. However, not many are aware of laser hair removal. Plus, it does have certain downsides too. “It requires multiple sessions and is definitely more expensive than most other methods,” states Aparna.

Aparna’s skin expert recommendations

“To remove hair on the upper lip, I recommend threading because the pressure can be adjusted in this method,” Aparna tells us. Further, she advises us on post-removal treatment—“If faced with skin redness or irritation after hair removal, apply ice over the area and if it persists, consult a dermatologist.”

This clinically-approved cleanser is perfect for all skin types including those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. That is because it uses a non-comedogenic, gel formula that includes skin-loving nutrients like amino acids, vitamin E and B5 to cleanse your face while repairing the skin’s barrier and leaving it strong, soft and smooth.  

How to cleanse your face:  

Just squeeze out a dollop and massage it to a damp face before washing it off. 

Steam 

To get the salon and professional experience of face clean up at home, include facial steams. It opens up your pores and detoxes your skin without you having to do anything. But you reap all the benefits as it allows your skincare products to be easily absorbed, helps dislodge your pores of blackheads and whiteheads, and hydrates your skin.  

How to take steam:  

You can use a face steamer or just boil a bowl of water.  

Then take a towel and cover your head while you keep your face above the bowl and make sure your eyes are closed.  

Take a break every three minutes so you don’t get light-headed.  

You can do it for a total of two to three rounds.

Exfoliate

The skin constantly sheds dead skin cells but as they sit on the upper layer, it can turn the complexion grimey and patchy. Exfoliating helps get rid of these dead skin cells as well as smoothen the texture of your skin. It also helps in blood circulation and the evening of the skin tone. You can use a micro-granular DIY scrub of sugar and honey or something like the Lakmé 9 to 5 Vit C+ Facial Foam with an inbuilt brush to exfoliate. Made of soft silicone, it works even if you have bumps or acne and gently exfoliates away the dullness. As for the foamy goodness, it is loaded with vitamin C to brighten your complexion while getting rid of the damaged dermis.

How to exfoliate your face:  

Pump the product to cover the brush with the face wash. 

Then gently rub the brush on damp skin in an outward motion.

Mask 

In order to rigorously clean your face, it can dry out your skin. To get that added boost of hydration and also target some severe skin conditions, a face mask is your best friend. You also get a chance to sit back and relax for a while as the face mask does its job. A mattifying mask like multani mitti absorbs the excess oil while tightening your pores. If you want something that deals with dryness and blemishes, you can make a mask of turmeric and honey. 

How to apply mask:  

Apply your face mask to clean and dry face. 

Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes and then wash it off.

Toner

Your face clean up kit should also include a toner like the alcohol-free Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner perfect for all skin types.

If you have any minute traces of dust or makeup that may not have come off while washing your face, the toner also gets rid of it. 

How to use a toner: 

Pour a few drops of the toner on a clean cotton pad. 

Swipe the cotton pad all over your face in outward motions.

Moisturiser

Finally, the last of your face clean up steps should include a moisturiser. Even if you have oily skin you should moisturise otherwise the oil glands supplicate with excess sebum production.

During a face massage, gentle pressure is applied to the facial muscles and tissues, which can promote blood circulation. This increased blood flow can help to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, improving their health and appearance. Improved circulation can also help to reduce puffiness and inflammation, which can contribute to a more youthful and radiant complexion. Regular face massages can even help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. 

If you're looking to maximize the face massage benefits, using face massage tools such as gua sha, jade rollers, and other tools can be highly beneficial. These tools work by stimulating circulation, promoting lymphatic drainage, and increasing the absorption of skincare products. Gua sha tools, for example, can help to improve blood flow, reduce puffiness, and promote skin firmness. Facial rollers, on the other hand, can help to improve lymphatic drainage, reduce inflammation, and improve skin elasticity. Incorporating these facial tools into your face massage routine can provide an extra boost of benefits to your skin, leaving it looking and feeling revitalized.

3. Reduces muscle tension 

Daily face massage benefits extend beyond increased blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Facial muscles can become tense due to stress, poor posture, or repetitive facial expressions. Over time, this tension can contribute to wrinkles and fine lines. Face massage can help to release this tension, promoting relaxation and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. 

4. Relieves tension headaches and sinus congestion 

If you experience tension headaches or sinus congestion, a face massage can provide much-needed relief.

Face Massage Top Benefits   

1. Reduces dark circles and puffiness 

Dark circles and puffiness under the eyes can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor sleep, allergies, and dehydration.

4. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 

A face massage can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production and improving blood circulation. Additionally, the relaxation and stress-reducing benefits of a massage can help to prevent the formation of new wrinkles.

If you are dehydrated, your skin will look dry and also become susceptible to several skin problems like eczema. It can also give you harsh wrinkles at an early age. This is why drinking at least 2 litres of water every day is important. It also flushes your body of toxins and helps keep your skin healthy.

3. Exfoliate 

As we mentioned above, even if you have zero pimples, scars or blemishes, if you don’t deep clean your face well, it can look dull and uneven. This is because the day’s buildup collects and collects every day as you sweat, travel or fail to remove your makeup properly. Along with washing your face, in such instances, you need to exfoliate once or twice a week. This will help scrub out the stubborn grime, and dead skin cells as well as dislodge blackheads and whiteheads while encouraging blood circulation to your face. 

4. Face mask 

Sometimes, extra TLC is needed to pamper your skin and give it a natural glow. Ingredients lying around your kitchen can easily deal with different skin concerns. Aloe vera and honey give a hydrating boost, multani mitti and oatmeal can control excess oil, and lemon and turmeric can fade out dark spots and even clear out pimples. 

5. Lakmé Absolute Perfect Radiance Serum 

The easiest way to make a difference is to have clear skin. The clearer the canvas, the more freedom you have to paint however you like. From heavy full coverage to sheer and natural makeup, you can try it all. To get rid of such dark spots and blemishes and sport clear skin, try a brightening serum like the Lakmé Absolute Perfect Radiance Serum. Since it has 98% of pure niacinamide, an ingredient that is known to fade blemishes, your face will thank you for it. As it evens the skin tone, it also gives the illusion of a natural and crystal-like glow.

6. Pond’s Bright Beauty Spot-less Glow Serum 

Another way to control hyperpigmentation and get glowing skin is to opt for multi-vitamin serums that have brightening agents. We love the Pond’s Bright Beauty Spot-less Glow Serum as it has a potent form of vitamin C, vitamin B3 and hyaluronic acid. This supercharged combo not only fades dark spots as quickly as in a week, but it also hydrates the skin and leaves it soft and plump.

7. Pond’s Serum Boost Sunscreen Serum 

Sure, you may be tired of everyone advising you never to skip on sunscreen as tan, harsh UV rays and sun spots can mess up your skin. But is the usual white, thick sunscreen residue refusing to blend put you off? Thankfully, there are tons of sunscreens now that are lightweight and tend to give a natural finish.  

An added plus is sunscreens in the form of a serum like the Pond’s Serum Boost Sunscreen Serum. While it has SPF 50 to protect the skin from the sun, it is lightweight and gets quickly absorbed to leave a matte and natural finish on your skin. If that wasn’t enough, we’ve entered a new era of skinification of all types of makeup and face products as this sunscreen serum has niacinamide that also works on fading already existing sun spots and dark patches.

8. Pond’s Super Light Gel 

Whether you have oily skin or dry skin, you should always end your routine with a moisturiser if you want a flawless look. The Pond’s Super Light Gel’s name gives it away as it is superlight and non-sticky, making it perfect for those who sweat a lot or have oily skin. A moisturiser doesn’t only moisturise the skin, but as seen in the case of this gel, it also hydrates the face with the help of hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. This means it gives the same clear results such as drinking water to detox your skin.

9. Lakmé Absolute Perfect Radiance Brightening Day Crème 

Another moisturiser that you can try out is the Lakmé Absolute Perfect Radiance Brightening Day Crème. It doesn’t encourage those fake claims of skin lightening or whitening. Nope, in this household, we are all about self-love. Instead, this cream once again uses niacinamide and micro-crystals to brighten the dark spots. You know what that means. An even and smooth complexion equals the confidence to sport your natural face with or without makeup.

10. Lakmé 9 to 5 CC Cream Mousse 

Of course, following such top 10 beauty tips for skin isn’t going to bring about results in one day. But who likes layers of makeup in this heat when we are just going to sweat it all off? So, while you’re getting there, if you still have a couple of blemishes or pimples, you can take it easy and just cover up with something light like the Lakmé 9 to 5 CC Cream Mousse.  

It can give you a natural finish or a full-blown wedding season coverage depending on your mood as you can easily build up the layers and blend. And while you enjoy the airy mousse formula on your skin, it also works on hydrating your face and fading the blemishes since it is infused with vitamin E. So, take this non-comedogenic and gentle CC cream and get to covering up any imperfections you may notice. 

FAQs about Easy Beauty Tips That Make a Difference Aesthetically

FAQs about Discover Best Face Cleansers for a Deep Clean

Q1. What is a deep cleanse?

Different from your everyday regime, a deep cleanse is a lengthier routine that works on a cellular level to treat your skin. It is done once or twice a week and is mostly done in your nighttime routine. It can include a face wash, exfoliation, massage, facial steam, mask, face oil and moisturiser. The steps depend on your skin woes and can help in controlling excess sebum, clearing dead skin cells and unclogging pores.

Q2. Can I deep cleanse every day?

You don’t need to deep cleanse every day, just once or twice a week is good enough. If you wear a full face of makeup and travel every day, have oily skin or acne-prone skin, you can double cleanse instead with an oil-based cleanser and then a water-based cleanser.

Q3. What is the difference between face wash and face scrub?

A face wash uses a liquid form of chemicals, actives and natural ingredients to clean your face of dirt, makeup, sweat and oil on a surface level. A face scrub uses exfoliants aka particles such as microbeads for a mild abrasive effect. This rubs at the buildup left on the skin to clear out and unclog pores. Some formulas also use a dissolving agent to dissolve or dislodge the sebum and blackheads clogging the pores.

• Eat healthy
• Exfoliate once in a while
• Turn to a moisturising alternative
• Don't forget sunscreen
• Invest in a serum
• Keep drinking water

Eat healthy

Sometimes switching up your diet is how to get glowing skin naturally at home. Increasing the intake of antioxidant rich food, especially in summer is essential because it offers an extra layer of sun protection from within. Greek yogurt, colourful fruits and vegetables are your way to healthy and smoother skin.

Exfoliate once in a while

Scrub your skin twice a week with a gentle exfoliating scrub to get rid of old layers of dead skin cells. This also helps absorb your skincare products better. If you have sensitive skin, stick to exfoliating only once a week with a mild face scrub for soft, smooth and glowing skin. Since it has an abrasive texture thanks to granules or microbeads, it easily rubs off the buildup from dead skin cells, oil, sweat, makeup, blackheads, whiteheads, the day’s grime, whatever you may have on the upper layer of your skin. And this is how to get glowing skin naturally in a week to flaunt this summer.

Turn to a moisturising alternative

Your skin doesn't need a thick coating of moisturiser now that winter is past. Use water-based formulations or gels instead so that they won't clog your pores and result in acne during the humid weather. For skin that is well hydrated but not oily, the Lakmé Absolute Fresh Living Essence is a summer must. Given that this ground-breaking solution hydrates and nourishes the skin up to 15 layers deep, it is the best-in-class companion to instantly revitalised and radiant skin. Plus, it doesn’t only contribute to the temporary summer glow but also helps in removing those unfading stressors and other fine lines. 

Don't forget sunscreen

Sometimes it is not even us or our habits that may affect our skin. While the sun may be one of the greatest natural sources of light, heat and vitamin D, it can also sadly damage our skin. That is because the sun’s rays also include harsh UV rays that can not only tan the skin but also destroy our skin cells or can even activate cancer cells. Along with the major dangers of skin cancer, it is also responsible for photodamage which means your skin may undergo premature ageing. So, of course summer when the sun’s rays are at their peak is when the UV rays wreak the most havoc. Hence always apply sunscreen in the morning before wearing your makeup. Even if you are going to sit in an AC room, if the sun can filter through your window, it can also reach your skin. Just choose a sunscreen that gives a matte finish to avoid greasiness or any sweaty finish. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 will keep you protected from the harsh rays of the sun and is the best way to go.  

Following your skincare routine but before applying makeup, squeeze out a small amount of sunscreen. Dot it a little all over your T-zone. Then spread it out all over your face and blend it in. Be careful to take only a small amount otherwise you’ll end up with a white and patchy finish. Wait for a couple of minutes and then continue with your makeup. Also don’t forget to apply sunscreen to the rest of your body that will be exposed to the sun like your ears, neck, shoulders and feet. A good tip to follow is to apply sunscreen 20 minutes before you head out for it to be effective. If you are extremely active, sweating or swimming, you should reapply sunscreen every four hours.

Invest in a serum

As we suggested above, you don’t need to try out thick and creamy skincare products, especially in this sweltering heat. While your favourite beauty influencer may be loving her night cream or that Korean celeb with glassy skin uses tons of oils, different climates call for different routines. For us Indians, heat, sweat and oiliness are big hindrances. So, to bring life to your dull skin, opt for a mattifying but hydrating serum. We absolutely love the Lakme Absolute Perfect Radiance Skin Brightening Face Serum With Niacinamide since it has the best of the best to address your skin woes. Dark patches? Acne? Oily skin? Well, with the help of niacinamide and a fast-absorbing formula, get an even-toned and flawless skin this summer. 

After washing your face with a gentle face wash, pat it dry. Then next take a few drops of the serum in your palm. Dot it all over your face and then massage it in for a few seconds. Once it is absorbed, you can go ahead with the rest of your routine. 

Keep drinking water

We’ve said this many times before and we will say it again, one of the easiest ways how to get glowing skin naturally is simply by drinking enough water and consuming food with high water content. Along with your usual glass of water, you can also make things interesting. Drink lots of coconut water and fruits and vegetables that have high water content, such as watermelon and cucumber.

Q1. What makeup can I use to get a natural glow

A: If you don’t have a bronzer in your makeup kit already, it’s time you get one! It will add dimension to your look and give your skin a sun-kissed glow. Just one quick swipe is all it takes to get that glow without looking OTT.

You can also set your makeup with a dewy setting spray to make your skin look glowing instantly.

Q3. What skincare routine should I go for in the summer?

A: Understanding your skin’s needs will help you address the problems better.

• 2. Lighten the moisturiser
• 3. Make SPF your BFF
• 4. Eat antioxidant rich foods
• 5. Stick to a serum
• 6. Stay hydrated

1. Exfoliation angle

As the weather gets warmer, we all want our skin to look and feel its best. One way to achieve this is by exfoliating regularly. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores, dull your complexion, and prevent your skincare products from absorbing properly. 

To get the best results, it's recommended to exfoliate your skin twice a week using a gentle exfoliating scrub. Look for a product that contains fine exfoliating particles, such as sugar or jojoba beads, which won't be too harsh on your skin. You can also opt for chemical exfoliators such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) which work by dissolving the dead skin cells. 

Instructions on How to Achieve It 

When you exfoliate, it's important to be gentle and not to scrub too hard. Apply the product to your damp skin and use circular motions to massage it in, focusing on areas that tend to be oilier or have more dead skin buildup. Once done, rinse the product off thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a towel. And voila, just like that you’re prepped and ready with the lingo - how to get glowing skin.

2. Lighten the moisturiser

When thinking how to get glowing skin, it doesn't need a thick layer of moisturiser now that winter is over.

3. Make SPF your BFF

If the topic of how to get glowing skin is on your agenda, one of the best ways to do this is by incorporating a broad-spectrum sunscreen into your daily skincare routine. And while it's known that getting your hands on such a product will curb the tan, burn and the incoming of any sort of discoloration…but did you know that using sunscreen before putting on your makeup can also help prevent greasiness and keep your makeup in place all day long. 

Instructions on How to Achieve It 

Before applying your makeup in the morning, be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a matte finish. This will help to prevent greasiness and keep your makeup looking fresh and flawless and of course, if applied without the makeup magic too, having a glow is inevitable as well.  

4. Eat antioxidant rich foods

Are you ready to spice up your summer skincare routine? Look no further than your local farmer's market for some antioxidant-rich goodness that'll leave your skin glowing! 

Filling your plate with colourful fruits and veggies is the ultimate way to boost your skin's sun protection from within. What better way to do it than with a delicious bowl of Greek yoghurt topped with juicy berries and sliced almonds? Being my favourite pick, a cool curb also helps in cooling the body temperatures and indirectly giving your skin that glow and inner TLC. 

5. Stick to a serum

Don't let your skin suffer from the sweltering weather! The secret to keeping your skin looking fresh and fabulous is by adding a serum to your skincare routine.  

Serums are like superheroes for your skin, packed with powerful ingredients that can help fight off the damaging effects of the sun and pollution. They're lightweight and easily absorbed, making them perfect for those hot summer days when heavy moisturisers can leave you feeling greasy and sweaty. One serum that we’re in love with is the #oneandonly -  Lakmé Absolute Perfect Radiance Skin Brightening Face Serum With Niacinamide.  Enriched with niacinamide for skin, this serum takes the extra leap to put a stop to a plethora of probs. Looking to lighten skin tone? It can do it. Diminish darkening? Of course. Curb oil production to do away with that nasty acne! Yes and yes. Leaving you with compliment-worthy skin, this is all you need to cop all those IG #wokeuplikethis like this and benefit from all the summer glow. So, pamper your cart with this serum and unveil the most beautiful and youthful you.  

Psst…If you’re looking for an alternate option, let’s suggest our other fav - The Pond's Bright Beauty Vitamin C Serum! Infused with excellent sources of vitamin C like pomegranate, green papaya, and lemons, this serum brightens, exfoliates, wards off free radicals from the skin. It keeps you away from the cause of premature ageing and reinstates that long-lost glow of yours.

6. Stay hydrated

Last but not least, staying hydrated not only helps your body function properly but also has a great impact on your skin. When you're dehydrated, your skin can become dry, tight, and even itchy. By drinking plenty of fluids and eating foods with high water content, you're helping to keep your skin plump, glowing, and healthy. To amp up the water situation, you can also infuse it with herbs - it’ll just make the hydration tastier and easier.  

FAQs about How to Get Natural Glowing Skin   

Q1. How often should I wash if I have combination skin in the summer? 

Combination skin people are a part of the lucky clan - you don’t have to go hunting for the right cleanser — more or less, everything suits you. And the weather concerns don’t have to be on your mind all the time too. However, you need to wash your face twice a day for refreshed and clean skin.   

Q2. How much moisturiser should I use?  

Well, if you think more moisturiser will give you quicker results - let us just stop you right there! A nickel-sized amount should be the perfect quantity for your full face. Going in with heavy squeezes can bring some breakouts your way, and using too little won’t hydrate your skin, keeping it firm and tight.
