In the times of shaving, waxing still remains to be a favourite hair removal technique for many women. One of the main reasons why women like to practice this foolproof hair removal technique is probably because hair doesn’t grow back for a longer time as opposed to shaving. But did you know that the wax itself has different variants? Every different type of wax serves a different purpose and caters to skin specifics that you may want to target. For example, chocolate waxing helps you not just get rid of the hair, but also rejuvenate your skin. So, if you’re a fan of waxing (a sentence we thought we’d never hear) here are different types of waxing you can try!
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!

Despite the barrage of skincare products we have at our disposal, glowing skin can be a tad elusive. Apart from a tried and tested skincare routine that includes products meant specifically for your skin type, there are other ways to get the skin of your dreams. Some of them include paying a little more attention to your diet while others employ natural ingredients. If you’re wondering how to get glowing skin the natural way, here are a few tips...
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!

Waxing, Threading Or Laser—what’s Better For Upper Lip Hair Removal?
Written by Dayle PereiraJul 31, 2017
Ladies, let’s face it—hair removal on your upper lip can be daunting. Not only is it a mandatory monthly task to get out of the way, it’s also completely unavoidable. So wouldn’t it be better if someone just told you the best possible hair removal method for your hairy upper lip? We spoke to renowned dermatologist, Dr. Aparna Santhanam to find out the benefits and downsides of each hair removal method on your skin and which one to choose for your next salon appointment.
“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.”
For years now, haldi has been used to cure skin conditions. But if there’s one skin problem it works like magic on, it is acne. Not only is haldi anti-bacterial in nature but it’s also a complexion corrector, which means when you begin to include this ingredient in your skin care regime, it slowly and surely lightens your skin tone along with treating oily skin and blemished skin. Wondering what are the various ways to incorporate haldi in your skin care routine? Read on...
Make use of turmeric with neem
Boil about 10 neem leaves and then grind them. Add 1/4th teaspoon of haldi powder to the leaves and mix. Apply the paste on your face and leave it for about 20 minutes before washing off. Haldi is known for its anti-bacterial and cleansing properties. Add to that neem—a sure shot fungus fighter and you have the solution to reducing acne.
Try a concoction of haldi with the exfoliant oatmeal
Mix 1 tablespoon each of oatmeal and haldi. Add drops of water to make it into a thick consistency and apply on your face. Leave it on till it dries up and then wash off. Oatmeal is known to be an effective exfoliator for the skin while turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties that help in reducing pimples.
Mix the acne healing nature of haldi with the moisturising properties of honey
Mix 1 teaspoon of haldi and 1/2 teaspoon honey. Apply this thick paste specifically on the acne and leave it for about 15 minutes. Wash off with a mild face wash. While turmeric will help heal your pimples, honey has naturally moisturising properties, which will give your skin the hydration it needs.
DIY a pimple fighting and skin lightening treatment with haldi and lemon
Take ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder and ½ teaspoon of lemon juice mixed with drops of water. Apply this mix to your acne scars and active acne and wash off after 20 minutes. Lemon juice is acidic in nature and hence, helps lighten scars and spots left by acne while turmeric’s medicinal properties help heal acne and better your complexion. This is why a pack like this is perfect for those with acne prone skin.
Rely on a turmeric based acne fighting regime
Since haldi seems to be one of the most effective solutions to treating pimples, why not use it as a part of your cleansing, toning and moisturising routine? To include a face wash that works on pimples, try the Ayush Anti Pimple Turmeric Face Wash. This cleanser contains Nalpamaradi Tailam, an oil formulated with potent herbal ingredients such as vetiver, peepal and amla that heals scars, dark spots and blemishes. For acne scars specifically, we suggest you rely on the Ayush Anti Marks Turmeric Face Cream that reduces marks, spots and lightens skin tone. If you want to get rid of any skin irritability and are looking for a natural soap that treat acne prone skin, try the Ayush Purifying Turmeric Soap. Enhanced with Nalpamaradi Tailam, an oil that reduces any skin irritability, this soap draws out pollutants and toxins from the body as you shower.

7 Reasons Why Beetroot Is A Game-Changer For Skin Texture
Written by Lopa KMay 11, 2023
If you are all into trying out natural home remedies, then add this plant to your skincare routine as the beetroot benefits are too many to even count. On top of that, it can also better our health and nourish our hair from within. But today, we are here to look at one common concern that we all have and how to fix it – that is the skin texture. Thankfully, beetroot is just what you need to soften and smoothen out the skin once and for all.
Beetroot for Skin Texture: The Basics
Giving a natural glow and moisturising the face is just one of the many beetroot benefits for skin. Beetroot also has a bunch of tricks that can treat all of the causes of rough and bumpy skin. From wrinkles and fine lines to acne and scars, beetroot can help with it all. So, let’s take a look at how this plant can be added to your skincare routine to give your face a smooth texture.
7 Reasons Why Beetroot is a Game-Changer for Skin Textures
1. Rich in vitamin C
One of the many beetroot benefits for skin is that it is rich in vitamin C. And guess what, this vitamin is precisely what you may need to fix a ton of your skin woes. It can care for the simplest problems like blemishes and hyperpigmentation to give you clear skin. If that isn’t enough, this also makes beetroot a natural moisturiser for your skin. To top it all off, this means it smoothens your skin of any rough and dry texture.
Tip on How to Use Beetroot Optimally
However, if you are in a hurry or do not have time for DIY remedies, we’ve got you on that front too. The Lakmé 9 to 5 Vit C+ Facial Serum is the perfect alternative for us busy girls as it makes use of the richest source of vitamin C. And no it is not beetroot but kakadu plum, another magical ingredient. Well, using this lightweight formula repairs your skin’s barrier and in turn takes care of several skin woes like ageing, blemishes and dull skin. Just take a few drops and apply them to your face to get moisturised and smooth skin. It is also fast-absorbing so no sticky feeling or irritation.
2. Slows down ageing
Along with applying it to your face, there are many benefits of eating beetroot. This plant is rich in antioxidants and has some anti-ageing properties. If you want to get a little more sciency, it means that beetroot has lycopene and polyphenols that help keep the skin tight and plump while preventing sagging. Of course, all this boils down to no fine lines, crows feet or wrinkles on your face, keeping the texture soft and smooth. It also reduces the effects of stress and defends your skin from free radicals of UV rays, pollution and all that jazz.
3. Deals with acne and oily skin
Breakouts got you down? Well, you can get the smooth and clear skin Instagram filters boast of with this super ingredient. Yet another of the many beetroot juice benefits for skin, it can easily take care of your acne. We all know that breakouts can ruin our texture, expand our pores and leave behind bumps that take forever to get rid of. But drinking it can easily take down the factors that may be causing cystic acne from within as it detoxifies the body. It also controls excess sebum production which can otherwise clog pores and turn them into pimples.
Tip on How to Use Beetroot Optimally
The easiest way to make your face mask for your skin type is to look at the ingredients. While honey, aloe and curd are good for moisturising dry skin, for oily skin, you need mattifying ingredients. In this case, add a spoonful of turmeric, multani mitti or besan to a cup of beetroot juice and a few drops of lemon juice for the perfect face pack. Apply it to your face, let it sit for 15 minutes, and then wash it off.
4. Treats dry skin
There are very few of us who are blessed with normal skin. It's either oily skin plaguing us or dry skin roughing up our skin. Thankfully, beetroot has a solution for both types. Yep, you heard that right, it also hydrates dry skin. As we mentioned above, it can also moisturise the skin easily. It also works on repairing your skin’s natural ability to absorb moisture and stay hydrated on its own without any external help.
5. Heals scars and wounds
Okay, since beetroot has vitamins C and B, it is a given that it can heal the scars left behind by acne. But did you know that it can also heal any other facial wounds like say pockmarks, cuts and burns? This is because it has phytochemicals, anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties. And with the risk of us sounding like your science teacher, it also has a ton of other minerals like magnesium which promotes new cell regeneration. You know what that means – a fresh, new, smooth and clear layer of skin bursting forth with the help of this magic root.
Tip on How to Use Beetroot Optimally
If you want to take advantage of the beetroot juice benefits for anti-ageing and acne control, make a face mask of beetroot and curd. It also moisturises the skin and smoothens out any scars. Put a small beetroot in the mixer and blend it. Add two spoons of curd, a few drops of honey and almond oil to it. Mix the paste well and apply it to your face. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then wash it off.
6. Exfoliates skin
While you may love those granular scrubs with microbeads as it gives you the satisfaction of feeling the dead skin come off, beetroot juice is a natural exfoliant. This is because beetroot has cleansing elements and antioxidants that can easily help scrub off the build-up on your skin. If that was not enough, it also adds a natural flush and brings life to dull skin. And since it is gentle on the skin, you can use it much more frequently than the regular exfoliants which may otherwise strip your skin off its natural oils.
7. Shrinks open pores
Open pores and oily skin just happen to be a recipe for disaster as it can lead to blackheads and whiteheads. Then say you try to pick them out or not, some get infections and turn into painful pimples. This expands your pores further and continues this vicious cycle. But beetroot can be your one-stop shop for all of these concerns. It controls the excess oil and clears your pores. It can also tighten the pores and prevent blackheads and whiteheads from forming in the first place.
Tip on How to Use Beetroot Optimally
For exfoliating the skin to remove dead skin cells, dust, grime and makeup and to clear your pores, you can use a scrub. Blend the beetroot and strain the juice. Add a spoonful of rice flour or oats for the granular texture. You can add a spoonful of honey for a moisturising after-effect. Mix it all into a paste and then apply it to your face. Start massaging in gentle, circular motions for a few minutes. Let it sit for 10 minutes and then wipe it off. Rinse your face with water and you’re done.
FAQs about 7 Reasons Why Beetroot is a Game-Changer for Skin Textures
Q1. What are the other benefits of eating beetroot?
Eating beetroot can also help in several ways. Some studies say it is anti-cancerous, can lower blood pressure and can increase stamina. It also detoxifies the body, betters gut health, is anti-inflammatory and can nourish hair follicles.
Q2. What are the ingredients in beetroot?
Beetroot consists of several nutrients that are good for the skin like vitamins C and B, fibre, antioxidants and minerals like potassium.
Q3. Is beetroot good for skin brightening?

And there you have it! If you have not been able to figure out how to smoothen your skin’s rough texture, you have your answer now. So, get to cutting that beetroot lying in your kitchen and add it to your skincare routine today!

Best Ways To Remove Pimples Naturally And Permanently: Top 5 Steps
Written by Kinnari AsharMay 11, 2023
Dealing with pimples can be frustrating and time-consuming. You may have tried a variety of over-the-counter products and treatments, but still haven't found a solution that works for you. Fortunately, there are natural ways to remove pimples that can be just as effective, if not more so, than harsh chemicals and prescription medications. In this article, we'll explore the top 5 steps on how to remove pimples naturally and permanently. These methods are safe, easy to implement, and can help you achieve clear, glowing skin without the use of harsh chemicals or expensive treatments.
Remove Pimples Naturally and Permanently: The Basics
You've probably experienced the frustration of dealing with a pimple at some point in your life. Pimples are a type of acne that appear on the skin as small, red bumps. They're caused by an overproduction of oil, which can clog pores and create a breeding ground for bacteria. Pimples can be not only a cosmetic concern but also an indication of the overall health of your skin. Fortunately, there are natural ways to get rid of pimples and prevent them from coming back. Let us discuss the top 5 tips for how to remove pimples naturally and permanently at home and achieve clear, healthy skin.
Keeping your skin clean is essential to preventing pimples. When you wash your face, you remove dirt, oil, and bacteria that can clog your pores and cause breakouts. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid scrubbing your skin too hard, as this can cause irritation and make acne worse. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry with a clean towel.
The Simple Daily Skin Detox Purifying Facial Wash is your secret weapon in the fight against clogged pores and oily skin. It is specially formulated to deeply cleanse your skin without leaving it feeling dry or tight. Its detoxifying blend of thyme, zinc, and witch hazel works together to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, leaving your skin looking visibly clearer and fresher from day one.
2. Use natural remedies
If you are wondering how to remove pimples marks naturally and permanently, try using home remedies. There are many natural remedies that can help you get rid of pimples. Tea tree oil is a popular choice, as it has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can soothe and heal the skin. Aloe vera and honey are also effective, as they have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties as well. Apply these natural remedies to your skin and leave them on for a few minutes before rinsing off.
You can alternatively use the Simple Daily Skin Detox SOS Clearing Booster. This instant skin purifier is made with a powerful blend of thyme, zinc, and witch hazel that detoxifies your skin and prevents the overproduction of oil and sebum. With its unique ultra-light gel formula, this clearing booster is designed to be used as a primer to control shine on oily areas like the t-zone, and as a spot cream to soothe blemishes and reduce redness. Enriched with natural ingredients, this gentle formula is perfect for oily skin prone to blemishes, leaving your skin visibly clearer, fresher and balanced day after day.
3. Avoid touching your face
Touching your face can transfer dirt, oil, and bacteria from your hands to your skin, which can cause pimples. Try to avoid touching your face as much as possible, especially if your hands are dirty. If you must touch your face, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly first.
4. Eat a healthy diet
Your diet can have a big impact on your skin health. Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein can help keep your skin healthy and prevent acne. Avoid processed and high-sugar foods, as these can cause inflammation and trigger breakouts.
5. Manage stress
Stress can cause hormonal imbalances that can lead to pimples. Managing your stress levels is important for maintaining clear, healthy skin. Try to get enough sleep, practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation, and exercise regularly to help manage your stress levels.
You can get rid of pimples naturally by keeping your skin clean, using natural remedies, avoiding touching your face, eating a healthy diet, and managing your stress levels. Be consistent with your routine, be patient with the results, and consult a dermatologist if necessary. With dedication, you can achieve clear, healthy skin and feel confident.

Key Skincare Trends That Are Dominating 2023 RN: Top 10
Written by Team BBMay 10, 2023
What are the latest skincare trends? While the new season is packed with a truckload of beauty and fashion trends thanks to the festivities, we’re particularly thrilled about the skincare trends given how dehydrated and dull the skin tends to get in this season. With all the events and festivities filling up your calendar, here are ten skincare trends 2023 that will help you establish a healthy relationship with your skin. Read on and discover!
Keeping up with the latest skincare trends can be overwhelming, but it's important to stay informed about new and emerging products and techniques that can benefit your skin. From innovative ingredients to cutting-edge technology, the world of skincare is constantly evolving, and there's always something new to try. In recent years, we’ve seen many TikTok skincare trends, but there are also many other trends that are gaining traction among skincare enthusiasts. In this article, we'll explore some of the most popular skincare trends that are currently making waves in the beauty world, and discuss what they can do for your skin.
Face oils have particularly received their long due fame by being recognised as one of the key steps to fight dull and lacklustre skin. Face oils rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants help protect skin against damage and nourish the skin, keeping it healthy and glowing.
2. LED technology
LED technology seems to be a popular at-home choice to get rid of acne, fine lines and dullness. LED masks emit visible wavelengths of blue and red light. While the blue light is used to target bacteria and treat acne, the red light penetrates deeper and is used for general collagen-boosting, making it ideal for banishing signs of ageing. Unlike topical skincare, the light from the masks penetrates deeper into the skin killing the bacteria before it surfaces up. It also increased blood flow to the face, making it look plump and healthy. We don’t know about you, but we’re definitely trying this one of the newest skincare trends!
3. Skinimalism
This trend is all about accepting your skin’s natural texture and adopting simple yet effective skincare routines to deal with any skin issues at hand. Using lesser and smarter products that would work on your skin type and concerns is the way to go. So, before you stock up on skincare take a moment and reflect on how it’s going to affect your skin. Less is more with this new minimalist skincare trend.
4. De-stressing skincare
Stress is an inevitable and rent-free part of our lives. So self-care breaks are more important now than ever and this one of the current skincare trends to that. It’s all about releasing your stress and pampering the skin while at it. Just slap on a hydrating sheet mask and relax for 15-20 minutes. Not only will you be feeling better, but your skin will be looking better too.
5. Supplements
With millennials and especially Gen Z being so obsessed with quick fixes for everything, supplements are the new skincare trends for 2023. Supplements are the way to go when it comes to fixing any skin related problems. Of course, consult a dermatologist and only then invest and ingest anything after getting their approval.
6. Natural and organic skincare
This trend involves using plant-based and naturally derived ingredients in skincare products, avoiding synthetic and artificial chemicals. The trend is growing due to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly, sustainable, and non-toxic skincare products.
7. Probiotic skincare
Probiotic skincare products contain live bacteria that are believed to improve the skin's microbiome, which is the collection of microorganisms that live on the skin. These products are said to help balance the skin's pH, strengthen the skin's barrier, and improve overall skin health, which makes them popular global skincare trends.
8. Clean beauty trend
This trend involves using skincare products that are free from harmful chemicals, such as parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Clean beauty products prioritize using natural and safe ingredients and avoiding anything that may be harmful to the skin or the environment.
9. Waterless skincare
Waterless skincare products are becoming more popular due to their sustainability and environmental benefits. These products are formulated without water and use ingredients such as oils, butters, and balms to hydrate and nourish the skin. By eliminating water from the formulation, waterless skincare products reduce the need for preservatives and packaging, making them a more eco-friendly option.
10. Multi-functional skincare
Multi-functional skincare products offer several benefits in one product, such as combining moisturiser, sunscreen, and anti-ageing properties. This trend is popular among busy consumers who want to streamline their skincare routines without sacrificing the quality of their skincare products.
FAQs about Key Skincare Trends that are Dominating 2023
Q1 How skincare trends change in monsoon season?
aSummer skincare trends are different from monsoon skincare trends because the hot and humid weather during monsoon season can cause excess oil production and clogged pores, whereas summer skincare focuses on protecting the skin from sun damage and dehydration.
Q2 What is a slugging skincare trend?
The slugging skincare trend involves applying a thick layer of moisturiser, such as petroleum jelly, as the last step in your skincare routine to seal in all the previous products and create a barrier on the skin's surface. This trend is said to help lock in moisture, prevent transepidermal water loss, and improve the skin's overall hydration. However, it's important to note that this trend may not be suitable for all skin types, especially those prone to acne or other skin sensitivities.
Q3 What are the Korean skincare trends?
Korean skincare has become increasingly popular in recent years, and there are several trends that are associated with it. Korean common skincare trends include "Glass skin" and double cleansing. "Glass skin" trend emphasises achieving a smooth and glowing complexion by layering hydrating products such as toners, essences, and serums to create a dewy, glass-like finish. Double cleansing involves using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and other oil-based impurities, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove sweat, dirt, and other water-based impurities. This method is said to improve the effectiveness of cleansing and prepare the skin for other skincare products.

While intimate washes are a lifestyle essential for some women, for others it’s an option they’ve only barely considered. It is true that you do not absolutely need an intimate wash as the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. But it is the sensitive skin outside that calls for the use of an intimate wash like the VWash. Read on and discover how to use V Wash the right way!
VWash: The Basics
First off, let's start by understanding what the VWash Plus Expert Intimate Hygiene is. If you thought washing down there with just a little bit of water or regular soap was alright, you're mistaken. A liquid soap that's specially designed for the vagina, it has a unique lactic acid formulation that helps maintain the pH balance of the vagina while soothing it to prevent irritation, itching, dryness, and odour. Disrupting your pH balance can lead to infections. But filled with natural ingredients, this hygiene wash doesn't have any toxic ingredients that are otherwise present in regular soaps; we're talking about it being paraben-free, sulphate-free, and fragrance-free, of course.
Here are the essential VWash ingredients:
1. Lactic acid
A healthy vagina contains the bacteria lactobacillus. This bacteria produces high levels of lactic acid, which makes the vagina slightly more acidic and promotes its ability to fight off bacterial infections. Some of the infection symptoms include an odd smell, excessive amounts of white discharge, and later, increased chances of catching STIs, amongst other health issues. VWash contains lactic acid for those who may not be able to produce it in high enough quantities. It helps retain vaginal health to avoid any unnecessary issues in the future.
2. Tea tree oil
While it has been used to help treat skin infections for years and years, did you know tea tree oil's antifungal properties are also good for the vagina? Apart from being used as yeast infection medication, tea tree oil helps fight off all forms of vagina-related infections. It also helps prevent any infections you may be susceptible to.
3. Sea buckthorn oil
So, this is probably a new ingredient for you — but trust us, it's super helpful! It helps treat vaginal dryness, itching, discharge, and burning sensations while urinating. These issues usually happen with postmenopausal women, but sea buckthorn oil, which contains essential fatty acids, can help improve vaginal elasticity and tissue integrity.
Now that we've covered how this intimate wash helps vaginal health, let's move on to how to use V Wash step by step. It is easy and can be seamlessly incorporated into your daily routine.
How to Use V Wash Plus Practical Tips to Consider
1. You can use it every day
When it comes to intimate hygiene, maintaining a pH balance of around 3.8 to 4.5 is necessary for vaginal health which your VWash provides.
Instructions on How to Use Tip
How many times to use V Wash? As long as you follow the steps properly, you should have no problem using it every day. However, if it has been prescribed to you by a gynaecologist, use it as recommended.
2. Be gentle with it
How to use V Wash Plus? Don't you dare go near your vagina with a loofah! The key is to be gentle and only use your hand since it's being used on one of the most sensitive areas of the female body.
Instructions on How to Use Tip
Don't use it as a douche either, since douching has long been regarded as being unnecessary, and can actually harm your vagina's natural microbiome.
3. Don't overdo it
Hygiene washes are designed to help maintain personal hygiene and cleanliness, but it's important to use them in moderation. Overusing hygiene washes can strip the skin of its natural oils and disrupt the balance of healthy bacteria, which can lead to dryness, irritation, and even infection.
Instructions on How to Use Tip
How and when to use VWash? Don’t take more than a few drops than required and stick to using it once a day. To avoid these negative effects, it's best to use hygiene washes only as needed, and to choose products that are gentle and pH-balanced for your skin.
4. Do a patch-test beforehand
Well, you want to be sure you're not going to get an allergic reaction, right? Always do a patch test, since it will help determine whether you're allergic to the product or not.
Instructions on How to Use Tip
Apply a little to the inside of your wrist and monitor for 24 hours. If there is no reaction, you can go ahead, and that’s the safest way of how to use V Wash intimate hygiene wash.
5. Use on cleansed body
How to V Wash use? Once you've cleansed the rest of your body with your regular body wash, it's time to move on to V Wash.
Instructions on How to Use Tip
Start by pouring a small amount of it on your palm or your fingers, like you would with any shower gel.
6. Apply the right way
Apply it gently on the outer part of the vagina aka the skin for a couple of seconds. If you've consulted a gynaecologist beforehand, use as directed.
Instructions on How to Use Tip
How to use the V Wash? Do not put it or any product for that matter on the inside of your vagina which you may have heard is a self-cleaning organ.
7. Rinse thoroughly
Rinse the vaginal skin thoroughly. Rinsing the vaginal skin thoroughly is important for maintaining good hygiene and reducing the risk of infections.
Instructions on How to Use Tip
Dry the area with a soft, clean towel, and you're done! The correct way of how to use V Wash hygiene will help remove any irritants that may accumulate in the area, and promote a healthy vaginal pH balance.
FAQs about VWash: A Complete Guide
Q1 Who can use a V Wash?
People of all ages can use it, and during menopause, too. Many gynaecologists also recommend using it post-intercourse and after pregnancy.

Q3 When should one see a gynaecologist?

How To Do Face Cleanup At Home: A Step-by-step Guide
Written by Lopa KMay 08, 2023
While everyone makes it sound so complicated and high maintenance, if you break it down, face clean up is the easiest thing to do and can be also done in the comfort of your home. Especially under the hot sweltering sun, it is time to pamper your skin and keep it healthy and clean. The everyday pollution, sweat and oil can suck the life out of your face but if you’re up for the challenge, some extra TLC once in a while can do wonders for your skin.
How to Do Face Cleanup at Home: The Basics
Getting the skin of your dreams has never been this easier. You just need to make some time and persevere and you got this! Your face clean up kit doesn’t even have to include thousands of fancy-looking products as long as you have your basics covered. Even the bare necessities are enough like good quality face wash, toner and moisturiser for your CTM stage and DIY remedies like face packs, facial steam and exfoliating scrubs.
Step-by-step Guide on How to Do Face Cleanup at Home:
The first of your face clean up steps should include washing your face. Pick a safe cleanser like Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash. It doesn’t have any of the harsh chemicals that could harm your skin later whether it's sulphates and parabens or artificial colours and fragrances. Simple and natural ingredients are used to clean your face of the usual dust, grime, sweat, oil and makeup. 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.
If you are an outdoorsy person, to deal with free radicals like UV rays, pollution and sweat, the Pond’s Pure Detox Foaming Brush Facewash should be your go-to. Instead of the usual harmful cleansing ingredients like sulphates and parabens, it uses the au natural aka activated charcoal to pull out deep-set dirt and grime. Get exfoliating off the week’s dead skin cells with its soft silicone brush for a mess-free experience.
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.
Rinse it off with water thoroughly.
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. It literally tones the face by tightening the pores and hydrating your skin to get rid of dryness. If you have oily skin, it also helps reduce the excess sebum by regulating your pH levels. And it does it all with the help of natural and antioxidant ingredients like chamomile, witch hazel and allantoin to soothe inflammation and smoothen the skin. 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. The Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser works best with a lightweight gel base for even the oiliest of skins and in all climates. Like the rest of Simple skincare, it is free of harsh chemicals while hydrating and moisturising your skin with the likes of glycerin, vitamin B5 and borage seed oil.
As for dry-skin gals, you need something hydrating like the Lakmé Absolute Hydra Pro Gel Crème. It adds moisture to your skin and seals it in for 72 hours straight. It also helps boost the skin’s natural hydration ability by 70% with the help of hyaluronic acid. Get soft and plump skin with this lightweight gel with a fancy sciency formula that works on a cellular level.
How to apply moisturiser:
After you are done with your clean-up, pat your face dry with a fresh towel.
Take a dollop of moisturiser and dot it over your face.
Spread it out and massage your skin simultaneously. Do avoid your eyes and mouth.

6. Prevents damage to the skin barrier
A consistent morning skincare routine that includes gentle and nourishing products can also help prevent damage to your skin's barrier. This can help your skin retain moisture and protect it from environmental stressors.
7. Creates a self-care routine
Establishing the best morning skin care routine can also be a form of self-care. Taking a few minutes each morning to care for your skin can be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. It can also help you establish a healthy routine, leading to other positive habits in your daily life.
Following a morning skin care routine can do wonders for your skin's health and appearance.

Plus, with the added benefits of reduced stress and increased confidence, a morning skin care routine is a self-care practice that can benefit your overall well-being. So, give it a try and see the difference it can make for your skin! Your future self will thank you for it.
FAQs about Benefits to Following a Morning Skincare Routine
How long should a morning skin care routine take?
A morning skin care routine can be as quick or as elaborate as you like, but ideally, it should take around 5-10 minutes to complete. This includes cleansing, toning, moisturising, and applying sunscreen.
Do I need to follow the same routine every morning?
While it's important to follow a consistent morning skin care routine, you may need to adjust your routine based on your skin's changing needs. For example, if you're experiencing dry skin, you may need to use a more hydrating moisturiser or skip exfoliating for a few days.
Can I use the same products for my morning and evening skin care routine?
While some products can be used for both your morning and evening skin care routines, it's important to consider the specific needs of your skin at different times of the day. For example, you may need a more hydrating moisturizer at night to nourish your skin while you sleep.

Using honey on face on a regular basis will keep your skin hydrated thereby leaving you with a clearer complexion and a youthful glow.
2. Hydrates skin
Dehydrated skin looks dull and lifeless. No amount of skincare or makeup products can repair the damage that dehydration causes. Loss of moisture from your skin can lead to dry patches that are coarse and itchy. In such cases, it’s best to rely on natural home remedies to bring your skin back to life. Well, time to whip out a honey face pack as its soothing and moisturising properties will help hydrate your skin leaving it smooth, radiant and glowing. The natural humectants and emollients present in honey increase the water content in your skin and curb dryness. Using a honey-infused skincare routine can do wonders in reviving your skin’s glow.

What’s worse than acne? Acne scars. Scars not only bring your skin game down but also affect your self-esteem. If you’re someone who is struggling to hide acne scars with makeup, well, you’re in for a treat. Here’s a natural ingredient that can help heal those stubborn scars. We’re talking about—you guessed it—honey! The benefit of using honey on face is that it minimizes inflammation which in turn heals your skin faster.

4. Brightens the dark patches
The benefit of using honey on face is that it is also one of the best natural remedies to brighten skin.

Pampering your skin with this face mask every day before hitting the sheets can help you achieve noticeable results.
5. Softens chapped lips
While we care for the delicate skin on our faces, we often tend to neglect our lips. Your lips are equally affected by the harmful UV rays, dehydration and pollution and therefore need some pampering. Sometimes, even the regular use of drying liquid lipsticks can leave your lips chapped and dehydrated. But you’ll be happy to know that applying pure honey on your lips regularly can make them smooth and supple. All you need to do is dab some honey on your lips every night before going to bed. This natural remedy for chapped lips can make all the difference in improving the health of your lips. And if you want an exfoliating scrub to peel off the excessively chapped skin, just add a few granules of sugar to the honey and scrub your lips with it.
Honey Face Packs to Try
1. Lemon and honey face pack
If you have acne, dry skin, hyperpigmentation and blemishes, lemon and honey face pack is your saviour. It also smoothens rough texture by gently exfoliating it. Just mix one teaspoon of lemon juice with one tablespoon of honey. Mix it and apply the paste to your face. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then wash it off.
2. Turmeric and honey face pack
Ever wondered why people have the haldi ceremony at weddings? Well, this skin-loving ingredient not only adds a natural glow but also has antiseptic properties that quickly take care of most of your skin woes from inflammation to dark spots and pimples. Add a pinch of turmeric to a teaspoon of honey and mix it. Apply the turmeric and honey face pack and let it sit on your face for 10 to 15 minutes before washing it off.
3. Besan and honey face pack
Besan and honey face pack is the fastest way to clear out your pores, tighten them and get rid of even the stubbornest of whiteheads. It also absorbs the excess oil on your skin. Just add two tablespoons of besan to one tablespoon of honey. Add a little water to make a paste and apply it to your face. Wash it off after 20 minutes.
4. Curd honey face pack
If you have dry skin, the best way to add an instant moisture boost is to combine the most creamy ingredients i.e., honey and curd aka yoghurt. To make a curd honey face pack, mix two teaspoons of curd with one teaspoon of honey and mix well. Apply and let it sit for 10 minutes before washing it off.
5. Coffee and honey face pack
The best exfoliant is one made out of naturally soothing ingredients, repairs the damaged dermis and has a granular texture to exfoliate easily. In such a case, the coffee and honey face pack is what you need. Add three teaspoons of honey to three teaspoons of coffee. Add a small spoonful of aloe vera gel if you have sensitive skin or breakouts. Scrub the paste on your face gently and massage it for five minutes. Then let it sit for 15 minutes for the aloe, honey and caffeine to moisturise and depuff your face.
FAQs about Amazing Honey Face Pack Benefits for Skincare
Q1. How does honey face pack exfoliate skin?
Apart from following a cleansing routine religiously, it’s also important to include exfoliation in your regular skincare regimen. And the best way to do this is to use honey for your DIY scrub as it acts as a natural exfoliant that is gentle on even sensitive and acne-filled skin, and promises to leave you with a brighter complexion. However, remember to not over-exfoliate as that can strip your skin of its natural oils.
Q2. Does honey stop premature ageing?
Honey can help prevent early signs of ageing. This miracle elixir is loaded with enzymes, antioxidants, probiotics and nutrients that aid in anti-ageing as it helps hydrate and plump the skin, reduces wrinkles and promotes collagen production.

Exploring The Science Behind A Face Massage And Top Benefits
Written by Kinnari AsharMay 02, 2023
If you're someone who loves to pamper yourself or just looking for natural ways to improve your well-being, you're in for a treat. In this article, we're going to take a deep dive into the science behind face massage and explore the incredible face massage benefits. From relieving tension and reducing puffiness to promoting relaxation and improving skin health, a face massage has numerous advantages that you'll want to know about. So, sit back, relax, and let's dive into the fascinating world of face massage together.
The Science Behind a Face Massage: The Basics
If you're looking for daily face massage benefits and a way to rejuvenate your skin and feel more relaxed, a face massage may be just what you need. This luxurious practice involves gentle kneading and stroking of the facial muscles and tissues, promoting blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This can help to reduce puffiness, improve skin tone, and even reduce fine lines and wrinkles. But what's the science behind it all? Stay tuned, as we'll explore the fascinating scientific facts related to a face massage.
The Science Behind a Face Massage
1. Increases blood circulation
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.
2. Lymphatic drainage
The lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body. Face massage can stimulate the lymphatic system, promoting lymphatic drainage. By doing so, face massage can help to detoxify the skin and reduce inflammation. This can lead to a clearer, healthier complexion.
If you are looking for a serum that can provide your skin with much-needed hydration and freshness, Lakmé Absolute Hydra Pro Serum is your go-to. Its powerful formula with HA-Penta Complex and Glycerine can help smoothen your skin's texture and provide deep hydration. The serum's lightweight and fast-absorbing formula ensures maximum comfort and hydration, making it perfect for use throughout the year. When used for a face massage, the serum's hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, Pentavitin, and glycerine help in getting soft, supple, and smooth skin that you will love!
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. By applying gentle pressure to the facial muscles and sinuses, a massage therapist can help to release tension and promote drainage. This can reduce headache symptoms and alleviate sinus congestion.
5. Improves mood and mental health
Face massage can promote relaxation and reduce stress levels. This can have a positive impact on mental health and mood. In fact, studies have shown that massage therapy can help to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
6. Releases endorphins
Face massage can also stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. This can promote a sense of well-being and improve your mood.
7. Promotes mind-body connection
Finally, daily face massage benefits also include promoting a deeper connection between the mind and body. By focusing on the physical sensations of the massage, individuals can become more attuned to their bodies and cultivate a sense of mindfulness. This can have a positive impact on overall health and well-being.
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. A face massage can help to reduce these symptoms by improving lymphatic drainage and promoting blood circulation. This can help to reduce swelling and inflammation, leading to a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
2. Boosts collagen production
Collagen is a protein that is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. However, a face massage can help to boost collagen production by stimulating blood flow and promoting cell renewal. This can lead to a firmer, more youthful complexion.
When used during a face massage, the Simple 10% Niacinamide + Pro-Vit B5 Booster Serum can further enhance its benefits. The serum's lightweight and fast-absorbing formula ensures it penetrates deeply into the skin, helping to boost the circulation and lymphatic drainage of your face. This results in a more radiant and youthful-looking complexion. Additionally, the serum's infusion of Pro-Vitamin B5 and Niacinamide provides superior hydration to your skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and plump.
3. Improves skin radiance and texture
A face massage benefits your skin by improving the texture and radiance. It does so by promoting lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, leading to a brighter, more even complexion. Additionally, a massage can help to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, which results in smoother and clearer skin.
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.
5. Enhances product absorption
Applying skincare products immediately after a face massage can enhance their absorption into the skin. By promoting blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, face massage can help to open pores and increase the efficacy of skincare products.
FAQs about The Science Behind a Face Massage and Top Benefits
How often should I get a face massage to see results?
The frequency of face massages can depend on individual needs and preferences. However, many experts recommend getting a face massage once weekly or every two weeks to see significant results.
Can a face massage cause any harm or side effects?
A face massage is generally considered safe, but there are a few potential side effects to be aware of. These include temporary redness, sensitivity, and breakouts. It is important to communicate any concerns or issues with your massage therapist during the session.
Can I do a face massage myself at home?
Yes, it is possible to do a face massage on yourself at home using your hands or a facial roller. However, it is important to learn proper techniques and to avoid using too much pressure or harsh products that could damage the skin.

Exploring Beauty Tips That Make A Difference Aesthetically
Written by Lopa KApr 30, 2023
Hunting for the top 10 beauty tips for skin? Want clear and flawless skin this summer so you can ditch your makeup without worrying about sweating it off? Well, let’s see how we can go about getting our dream dermis without burning a hole in our wallet.
Easy Beauty Tips That Make a Difference Aesthetically: The Basics
A good skincare routine is the secret behind every pretty girl. And now, you can get that too. Sure, we all know it involves steps like cleansing and creams, sciency serums and all that lotion potion. But how to make it work for your skin and the problems you may face? So, let’s take a look at the top 10 beauty tips for skin that you can try out.
Easy Beauty Tips That Make a Difference Aesthetically
1. Wash your face twice a day
One of the major top 10 beauty tips for skin is as simple as washing your face every day twice a day with a mild face wash. This clears the buildup, makeup, dead skin cells, unclogs your pores and more. Sometimes it is just the day’s dust and grime collected on your face that makes it look patchy and dull.
2. Drink enough water
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
Q1. Other than the top 10 beauty tips for skin, how can I take care of my skin?
Lifestyle habits and diet also play an important role in your skin. Sleeping well repairs the skin while eating antioxidant foods detoxifies the body to give you clearer skin. You should also clean your makeup brushes regularly to get rid of the bacteria that may collect and avoid touching your face.
Q2. How does washing with cold water help the skin?
Ice-cold water not only depuffs your face, but also tightens the pores. This can do wonders if you have large and open pores. If you massage your face at the same time, it can also help with blood circulation and slow down premature ageing and bring a natural flush to your face.
Q3. What is the ideal facial aesthetic?
Nowadays, the term visual or facial aesthetic has changed from certain features like big lips or a thin nose to more inclusive goals that people can achieve without facial surgery. It is now all about keeping the skin hydrated, bringing back the natural glow, clearing out acne and blemishes, and toning the skin.

Summer is here! This season is all about fancy vacations and elaborate brunches. However, along with this sunny side comes the downside; the tanning concern. Yes, enjoying the unprotected ultraviolet rays spikes the body melanin production, leaving you with a stubborn tan that is caused due to increased melanin production. If you're wondering how to remove tan from hands, there are several natural remedies and skincare products that can help lighten and brighten your skin.
That might get you thinking, what is melanin? Well, it’s a pigment formed by cells in the outer layers of skin that is responsible for giving colour to the skin. When we are exposed to the sun, the skin creates more melanin than usual. The more melanin is produced, the darker the skin gets. You keep the darkness away by applying generous amounts of a good sunscreen — we suggest, Lakmé Sun Expert Ultra Matte Spray. This Sun spray comes with an advanced lightweight formula that hydrates your skin with a silky-soft feeling. The SPF 50 sunscreen shields from UVB rays known to cause skin burns. If you don’t take such preventive steps, you can also face the melanin building up in certain areas, more than others, causing uneven tanning and patchy skin, also termed hyperpigmentation and these nasties surely cling to your hands’ skin.
To do away with the skin situations and to unveil your true hand hue under the tanning layers, we suggest falling back on DIY anti-tan packs; easy to make and quick to show results. If you're wondering how to remove sun tan from hands, these packs can help you achieve a lighter and brighter skin tone. So, cut to chase and shake hands with confidence for the best-in-class solutions are here.
Exploring Best Way to Get Rid of Suntan on Hands
Get the tan off yourself by falling back on these amazing selects to get rid of your stubborn hand tan. If you're wondering how to remove tan from hands and legs, these selects can help you achieve a lighter and brighter skin tone.
Tip #1: Trust the papaya power
Delicious to taste, this fruit also extends its benefits to the tanning space. Yes, apart from snacking on its juiciness you can also use it to get rid of dark spots and patches. If you're wondering how to remove tan from hands immediately, papaya and lemon can be a great solution. Owing to the enzyme papain which has skin-lightening properties it does the preparation like a dream! And here’s how you get playing with it — get your hands on a ripe papaya and a lemon and then:

Are you in the mood for a deep cleanse? A face cleanser and scrub can do wonders for your skin if you know how to use them effectively. Like the deep cleaning of our homes before a festival, an everything shower or curly hair routine, we also need to pay extra attention to our face every few days. To encourage the skin cell turnover, rejuvenate it and leave it squeaky clean, let’s try a deep cleanse.
Discover Best Face Cleansers: The Basics
Okay, so you know that a face cleanser gets you ready for the day and later helps wash off the day’s accumulated dirt. But the same cleanser can deeply cleanse your skin on certain days with the additional help of a face scrub. So, if you have been wondering about a certain streaky patch on your cheek or trying to pinch out a blackhead, maybe it’s time for a deep cleanse. Well, we’ve come up with a list of the best face washes and scrubs for every skin type that you can try out.
Discover Best Face Cleansers for a Deep Clean
1. Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash
For a gentle face cleanser that suits all skin types, we love the Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash as it is free of soap, artificial colour and all other harsh chemicals like parabens and alcohol. Instead, it uses vitamins like vitamin B to hydrate the skin and vitamin E to soothe the skin. For the deep cleansing part, it makes use of a gel formula along with triple purified water to get rid of all the dirt and grime without irritating your skin. It also happens to be non-comedogenic so you don’t have to worry about any clogged pores.

6. Pond’s Pure Detox Face Scrub
Along with a face wash, on days you want to get into each crevice and exfoliate your skin, a face scrub can do wonders. Whether you have breakouts or sensitive skin, a gentle scrub like the Pond’s Pure Detox Face Scrub is perfect for you. Like its face wash counterpart, this scrub is free of any harsh chemicals but uses activated charcoal to easily scrub away the grime and dead skin cells, and fade sun tan.

If that wasn’t enough, it also uses walnut shell powder and licorice extract to smoothen and clear your face.
How to do a Deep Cleanse
While you should wash your face in the morning and night every day, you can do a deep cleanse every once or twice a week. A deep cleanse should include a face wash and an exfoliating scrub to clear the grime and dead skin buildup and massage your face to help with blood circulation.
Start off by wetting your face. Take a few pumps of the face wash and apply it to your face and neck. Using the exfoliating brush, evenly spread it and gently massage your skin in a circular motion.
Rinse off the face wash and then turn to the scrub.
Squeeze out a little bit of the product and apply it all over your face.
Gently rub it all over your face for a few seconds. Finally, rinse it off thoroughly.
You can follow it up with a face mask, facial steam and a moisturiser.
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.

After religiously following your skincare routine day in and day out, all you expect is a little glow. It seems quite easy when people advise on how to get glowing skin naturally at home. But what you get in return is breakouts, dark circles and other unforeseen skin issues. This often makes you think: is glowing skin even real or is it just makeup and Instagram filters? Well, while filters do make our ‘I woke up like this’ posts attractive, you don’t have to depend on them each time to make your skin look glowy. Well, you can achieve a natural looking glow by using a combination of natural methods and a few essential skincare products. Yes, really. Let us show you how.
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.
FAQs about How to Get Natural Glowing Skin
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.
Q2. How to make my face get a natural glow instantly?
A: Along with your skincare routine, using a few light and dewy products can instantly make your face get that lit from within glow. Make good use of it. Mix your illuminator with your moisturiser or foundation to add glow to your face. Use a cream blush to add a flush of colour to your cheeks for a youthful look. 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. For example, if you have oily skin, start by following a skincare routine that will tackle issues related to your skin type — excess oiliness, large pores, etc. Using products formulated for your skin type and following an extensive skincare routine is half the job done to achieve the glowy skin of your dreams.
And that is how to get glowing skin naturally. Be sure to follow a healthy lifestyle, a good and light skincare routine and you will surely get the perfect skin this summer.

Achieve A Glowing Complexion With These Simple Steps: Top 6 Steps
Written by Anushka ShahApr 11, 2023
As the temperature rises and the sun becomes harsher, causing damage to the skin. Despite the desire to stay indoors, people often have to go out for work and socialise. Therefore, it is important to develop healthy skincare habits that are suitable for summer, in order to achieve a perfect glow. And to help you with that ladies, we’ve got your back (and your skin) with the A1 tips on how to enhance your radiance and win hearts - cling on for all the deets on how to get glowing skin!
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. 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 Pond's Bright Beauty Serum Cream, Spot Less Glow is a summer must. Given that this ground-breaking solution, loaded with b3 and SPF hydrates and nourishes the skin up, 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.
If you want to add to your makeup arsenal, we also suggest using the all-time fav, Lakmé’s Absolute Perfect Radiance Creme. Formulated using precious micro-crystals and skin brightening vitamins this cream is all you need to fall back on for that illuminated look.
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.
