जानिए BB और CC क्रीम के बीच का अंतर
हमें पता है, सौंदर्य की डिक्शनरी में जिस तरह रोज़ाना नए शब्दों की बढ़ोतरी हो रही है आपका इस बात से परेशान होना लाज़िमी है कि इतने सारे उत्पादों में से अपनी त्वचा की सभी ज़रूरतों के मुताबिक़ कौन-सा ऐसा प्रसाधन चुनें, जो बेहतरीन हो. हमारे साथ भी बिल्कुल यही हुआ था, जब हमने बीबी और सीसी क्रीम के बारे में जाना. पर यक़ीन मानिए, इसका समाधान बिल्कुल आसान है! यहां हम पेश कर रहे हैं एक आसान-सी गाइड, जो आपको न सिर्फ़ बीबी और सीसी क्रीम के बीच का अंतर बताएगी, बल्कि उन्हें इस्तेमाल करने का सही तरीक़ा भी बताएगी...
 
 

अपनी बीबी और सीसी क्रीम को जानें:

अपनी बीबी और सीसी क्रीम को जानें:

बीबी यानी ब्यूटी बाम/ब्लेमिश बाम
ब्यूटी बाम या ब्लेमिश बाम का संक्षिप्त रूप है BB. बीबी क्रीम ऐसे टिंटेड मॉइस्चराइज़र की तरह है, जिसके भीतर त्वचा को फ़ायदा पहुंचाने वाले ढेर सारे गुण मौजूद हैं. ये केवल आपकी त्वचा को कोमल ही नहीं बनाती, बल्कि त्वचा की नमी और चमक बरक़रार रखते हुए धूप से आपकी त्वचा की सुरक्षा भी करती है. बीबी क्रीम मॉइस्चराइज़र और फ़ाउंडेशन के दोहरे फ़ायदों से भरी होती है. अत: जब आप इसे लगाकर मेकअप करती हैं तो मेकअप जहां चिकना नज़र आता है, वहीं लंबे समय तक चेहरे पर टिका भी रहता है. 

सीसी यानी कलर करेक्शन/कॉम्प्लेक्शन केयर 
कलर करेक्शन या कॉम्पलेक्शन केयर का संक्षिप्त रूप है CC. भारतीय लोगों की त्वचा की सबसे बड़ी समस्या है पैचीनेस यानी चेहरे की त्वचा की रंगत का असमान होना. यह क्रीम आपके चेहरे की इस समस्या को दूर करते हुए चेहरे की रंगत को एक समान बनाने का काम करती है. यह क्रीम चेहरे की लालिमा को भी छुपा लेती है. इसका मतलब यह हुआ कि यदि आप रोज़ाना कंसीलर का इस्तेमाल करती हैं तो सीसी क्रीम आपके लिए एक अच्छा विकल्प है. यहां यह जानना भी ज़रूरी है कि सीसी क्रीम का टेक्स्चर बीबी क्रीम की तुलना में हल्का होता है और इसलिए इसे लगाने पर त्वचा पर सॉफ़्ट मैट इफ़ेक्ट आता है.
 
बीबी और सीसी क्रीम के बीच अंतर
जहां सीसी क्रीम आपकी त्वचा को सेमी मैट और नैसर्गिक लगने वाला प्रभाव देती है, बीबी क्रीम आपको मैट, नमीयुक्त और चमकदार लुक देती है. सीसी क्रीम का टेक्स्चर बीबी क्रीम की तुलना में हल्का होता है. बीबी क्रीम अच्छे बेस का काम करती है और आपके रोज़ाना के लुक को कमाल का बना देती है. इसका इस्तेमाल आसान है. वहीं सीसी क्रीम उनके लिए है, जिनकी त्वचा में लालिमा या असमान रंगत की समस्या है. अत: आप अपनी त्वचा की ज़रूरत के मुताबिक़ बीबी या सीसी क्रीम का चुनाव कर सकती हैं.
 
इन्हें कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
यह बहुत आसान है- अपनी उंगलियों की सहायता से क्रीम अपने चेहरे और गर्दन पर लगाकर अच्छी तरह फैलाते हुए मिलाएं. इसके लिए आप फ़ाउंडेशन ब्रश का इस्तेमाल भी कर सकती हैं. यदि आप हमसे पूछेंगी तो हम आपको पॉन्ड्स वाइट ब्यूटी बीबी+ क्रीम/ Pond’s White Beauty BB+ cream और  लैक्मे सीसी क्रीम/Lakmé CC Cream के इस्तेमाल की सलाह देंगे. पॉन्ड्स वाइट ब्यूटी बीबी+ क्रीम /Pond’s White Beauty BB+ cream के भीतर मौजूद है विटामिन B3, विटामिन E और एसपीएफ़ 30 और यह दिन के लुक के लिए आपको तुरंत पूरा कवरेज देती है. लैक्मे सीसी क्रीम /Lakmé CC Cream में मौजूद है एसपीएफ़ 20, जो सूर्य की किरणों से त्वचा की सुरक्षा करने के साथ-साथ हल्का कवरेज भी देता है.

बीबी और सीसी दोनों ही क्रीमें आपकी त्वचा के साथ अच्छी तरह ब्लेंड हो जाती हैं और आपके चेहरे को एक समान, कोमल और चमकदार रंगत देती हैं. बस, आपको यही तय करना है कि अपनी ज़रूरत के मुताबिक़ कब आपको किस क्रीम का चुनाव करना है. तो क्या अब आप इन बेहतरीन प्रोडक्ट्स के साथ अपनी त्वचा को जादुई आकर्षण देने के लिए तैयार हैं? हां, बेहतरीन परिणाम पाने के लिए क्रीम लगाने से पहले मॉइस्चराइज़र लगाना न भूलें.

YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO DRINKING WATER

Written by Nov 20, 2015
Water is undoubtedly the ultimate source of hydration. But little did you know that drinking too much water or more than your body requires can do more harm than good and sometimes affect your health adversely. Our detailed guide below will help you understand how much of water your body needs...
how much water should you drink every day 600x400 piccontent

Throughout the day we lose at least 1 litre of water through sweat, urination and other physical activities. But that doesn’t mean all of us require the same amount of water to keep our bodies fully hydrated. The amount of water your body requires depends on your body weight and your activity levels. Scroll down to understand this better...

Calculate the amount of water you need as per your body weight

It’s very simple. Multiply your weight by 0.033 to find out how much water your body requires throughout the day. For example, if you weigh 60 kilos then your body needs 1.98 or almost 2 liters of water everyday. And if you workout regularly or play any form of sport your body requires over and above that amount.

How should you be drinking water?

Definitely from steel glass or a glass. Avoid plastic as certain quality plastics release cancer-causing chemicals called dioxins.

How to reach you daily water goals

Drinking water apps

Our biggest concern is that we don’t always ‘remember’ to drink water. Drinking water apps not only remind you but also keep a track of how much water is consumed throughout the day. Our favourites are Carbodroid for Android and WaterLogged for iPhone.

Distribute your drinking cycle evenly throughout the day

Make a habit of drinking a glass of water as soon as you wake up in the morning to get your metabolism going and a glass or two before you go to bed. You might not feel thirsty but keep in mind that when you wake up and before you go to sleep you’re looking at close to seven hours without a sip of water.

Flavour your water

Add cucumber, lemon or limes or simply make some warm green tea (without milk) for an antioxidant rich, skin boosting and hydrating drink.

THERE’S A NUDE LIPSTICK SHADE FOR EVERY SKINTONE
Nude lips are the new bold! Right from the international runways to our very own Bollywood celebrities, barely there lippers are making a loud statement. While it may seem very effortless and easy to sport, the trick lies in finding the appropriate shade that complements your skin tone. Here’s a quick guide...
 

For Olive and dark skin tones

For Olive and dark skin tones

If you are a dusky beauty like Bipasha Basu then shades with a red undertone or dark shades of melted chocolate should be your choice. Avoid the shades that are lighter than your skin tone as they will tend to make your lips grey and make your face appear washed out. Complete your look with a dewy base and highlighted cheekbones.

Shop your shade: Lakmé Enrich Satin Lip Color 531.

For Medium to olive skin tones

If your complexion is anything like that of Priyanka Chopra then nude shades with peach and orange undertones are an ideal match for your skin tone. Avoid shades with pink undertones as they tend you make your skin tone appear dull and darker. Don’t forget to deeply kohl your eyes with a black kajal for a face that looks naturally beautiful.

For lighter skin tones

For lighter skin tones

If you have light skin like Kareena Kapoor Khan then shades with a soft pink undertone would give your face the perfect nude look. Avoid shades with a dark pink undertone as they won’t create that much of an impack. Don’t forget to fill in your brows and define your peepers with tons of mascara for a sharp and bold look.

How To Get Bright Skin Naturally

Written by Vidhi GandhiNov 16, 2015
How to Get Bright Skin Naturally

When you’ve got a chock-a-block schedule that leaves barely any time for things apart from work and travel, getting skin that looks healthy, fair and glowing can be a gargantuan task. Of course, things like environmental pollutants and the sun are relentless when it comes to leaving it looking tired and lackluster, but it’s never too late to make just a few lifestyle changes and land that fair complexion you’ve always wanted. Here’s what you need to do to get fair skin

 

Avoid prolonged sunlight

Avoid prolonged sunlight

Unavoidable tanning is obviously the first deterrent to fair skin, but there are ways you can beat it. Remember that the sun’s rays are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm. So it’s best to wear a hat or a scarf, sunglasses and of course, slather sunscreen with SPF (read more about that here). The sun’s UVA rays activate the melanin pigment (gives your skin its natural colour) present in the upper dermis causing tanning. UVB rays, on the other hand, increase the melanin pigment deepening the tan, the kind that stays longer and strips the natural fairness off your skin. So if you wish to avoid this at any cost, make sure you use a reliable sunscreen every single day irrespective of the weather conditions.

BB tip: To keep things fun, opt for a chic fedora or carry a cute umbrella.

 

Opt for a targeted face wash

Opt for a targeted face wash

One of the best routes to achieving a brighter, fairer complexion is by using the right face wash. The first step of a cleansing-toning-moisturing ritual, washing your face with a cleanser ensures that all the impurities from your skin are out of the way. This is why you need to give your skin routine a boost of brightness by using a face wash which targets fairness. For this, we turn to the Fair & Lovely Advanced Multi Vitamin Face Wash. With its multi vitamin formula, this face wash cleanses, exfoliates and massages the skin so that the dead skin cells are banished to reveal bright, beautiful skin! Sounds like magic? Well, try it to believe it!

BB Tip: Use this face wash twice daily for the best results.

 

Say yes to a lightening cream

Say yes to a lightening cream

While washing your face with the right cleanser is imperative to your skin care regime, it is just as important for you to use a cream or a moisturiser that adds a luminous touch to your skin along with giving you fair skin. When it comes to a reliable fairness treatment nothing can get better than Fair & Lovely Advanced Multivitamin Cream. It contains Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, which heal the skin from inside to give you a fair complexion. With regular application of this product, you will be able to bid adieu to dark spots and flaunt that perfectly luminous face.

BB tip: Let your cream soak in for one minute before putting anything else on your face. We suggest you start your base makeup with this one and then go on to using other products on your face.

 

Suck on ice cubes

Suck on ice cubes

Might sound absurd but our editor has actually tried and tested this— suck on ice cubes to brighten your complexion and achieve fair skin. Well, when you suck on an ice cube, the several cells in your lips and cheeks are chilled – something that instantly causes an increase in blood circulation. This leads to rosier looking skin—the kind of skin you always yearned for. Who thought the solution to fair skin lied in ice cubes!

BB tip: Rubbing ice cubes on your face before a night out also helps in giving you an instant glow by constricting blood vessels, reducing any redness or puffiness and lending it a healthy glow. But make sure you don’t rub them on your skin for too long.

 

Get your dose of vitamins

Vitamins

If you’re feeling like your skin isn’t getting enough vitamins through food, try consulting a doctor who can prescribe you Vitamin C and D supplements. Vitamin C helps you achieve a brighter and even complexion while Vitamin D prevents breakouts and keeps your skin from looking dull and damaged.

BB tip: You can use pure Vitamin C capsules on your face at night for a visibly brighter skin in the morning.

Just follow our simple rules to fairness and there’s no stopping you from achieving that flawless complexion you always wanted.

 

Homemade face packs for fairer skin

Homemade face packs for fairer skin

Lemon
We’re sure you’ve heard of using this ingredient as a fairness home remedy before – it is the staple of skin whitening. The acidic nature of lemon, as well as its high vitamin C concentration, allows it to act as a bleaching component, helping to reduce any dark spots and facial discolourations. It is also a great natural exfoliator – it effectively removes older skin cells on the surface of your face (often these cells may be pigmented) leaving you with fresher, brighter skin.
All you have to do is apply some lemon juice to the localized area, leave it on for about 10 minutes, and then rinse your face thoroughly with water.

Turmeric
This is another home remedy for fairness that works wonders for evening out your skin tone and makes sure it’s looking the very best it can. Turmeric contains a substance called curcumin, which is great for reducing the production of melanin, which is responsible for causing skin pigmentation.  In addition to this, it also has anti-inflammatory properties to help treat any aggravations or acne on the skin.
To make it most effective, combine one teaspoon of the powder with 3 teaspoons of lemon juice in a paste. Leave this paste on the specific discoloured areas for around 10-15 minutes before rinsing the mask off with water.
 

 

Egg pack

Egg pack

The best thing about this mask is that it only has one ingredient – egg whites! And yet, it is still amazing for reducing any imperfections on your skin. Apart from containing high amounts of vitamins that contribute to reducing wrinkles and fine lines, egg whites are also great for removing any excess sebum or oil from your face, thereby helping to treat acne.
Take a single egg and beat it until it becomes foamy. Apply this all over your face, leave it to rest until it is fully dried and then wash it off with water.

Orange peel pack
Before you throw away your orange peels, why not try this face mask if you’re looking to brighten your complexion? Oranges are able to fight the free radicals that are responsible for so many of the imperfections on the skin; they contain citric acid which is great for dealing with acne. In addition to this, oranges also contain copious amounts of vitamin C, a super tool for anti-agingit helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the face.
Mix one tablespoon of orange peel powder, one tablespoon of honey and a bit of lemon juice together, and add some water in order to get a pasty consistency. Leave this mask on your face for around 20 minutes and then rinse off thoroughly with water.
 

 

Rice flour

Rice flour

If you’re trying to fight that tan after a day spent on the beach, this is the perfect way to get your skin back to normal. Rice flour is full of para amino benzoic acid, a great protectant against the sun, and also boosts vitamin C production, which we already know is great for skin whitening. In addition to this, it also contains a substance known as tyrosinase which plays a huge role in controlling how much melanin (responsible for skin discolouration) is present in the skin. Finally, rice flour also helps regulate sebum levels, minimizing acne incidences.
Mix together 2 tablespoons of rice flour and 3 tablespoons of milk with 1 teaspoon of honey. When you first apply this mask, rub it in by softly massaging your face. Leave it on for around 20 minutes and then wash it off and dry your face.

Cumin seeds
If you’re looking to give your skin that healthy glow (which you obviously are), cumin seeds are the ultimate ingredient. Their anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties make them the ideal for dealing with any redness or outbursts of acne – if your skin has been angry lately, use this to calm it down and whiten your complexion.
Boil a teaspoon of cumin seeds in 2 cups of water. Use this to wash your face daily–it will help rejuvenate and freshen your complexion, in turn making it look lighter.
 

 

Tomatoes

Tomatoes

Although it may be a controversial fruit (or is it a vegetable?), tomatoes are undoubtedly a saviour when it comes to whitening skin. It is heavy in vitamins that not only reduce any blemishes and dark spots but also give your skin a lift by increasing collagen levels and removing wrinkles; it further contains magnesium which is known for making your skin glow. Doesn’t it seem like tomatoes were made to brighten your complexion?
To reap the benefits of tomatoes, create a mask with a just few drops of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of tomato juice – mix them together and then apply it all over the face. Keep the mixture on for approximately 15 minutes before taking it off and washing your face with water.

Baking soda
Here’s our last fairness treatment to uplift your skin and give it that extra bit of radiance. Baking soda is extremely useful as an exfoliator and can help remove any discoloured or pigmented old skin cells that may be making your skin tone uneven. It also really soothes the skin – its anti-inflammatory properties work wonders for dealing with any skin blemishes and aggravations.
All you have to do is mix 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 2 tablespoons of baking soda and apply it to the discoloured areas of the skin. After about 15 minutes, rinse the concoction off with lukewarm water, dry your face and put some moisturizer on.

5 ETHNIC FASHION TRENDS TO MAKE A STATEMENT WITH THIS FESTIVE SEASON

Written by Vidhi GandhiOct 16, 2015
5 ETHNIC FASHION TRENDS TO MAKE A STATEMENT WITH THIS FESTIVE SEASON
The season of celebrations and good-times is finally here! And it gives us yet another reason to play dress up and go OTT. To keep our looks updated, we compiled a list of 5 major fashion trends we think every woman should try her hand at. Take a crack at it and let us know your favourites.
 

Neutrals

1

India is a country majorly associated with colour. But this time, Lakmé Fashion Week saw a lot of designers sending their own interpretations of ethnic wear to the ramp in varied shades of black, white and nude. And what made these hues stand out are the details: sequins, beads and a lot of embroidery to keep intact the charm of Indian tradition.

Picture: Payal Singhal at LFW

 

Kutchi Embroidery

2

There’s nothing more opulent that hand-crafted embroidery and with designers reinventing the kutchi art, fashion this time will see a beautiful merge of traditional and contemporary thread work on indo-western garments. Think cropped jackets or stiff shirts to introduce the trend to your wardrobe for the festivities to come.

Picture: Krishna Mehta show at LFW

 

Dhoti pants

3

The most comfortable yet chic trend of all--dhoti pants, was seen in abundance on the ramps this fashion week. And it was not the regular salwar or patiala style; there were more detailed versions such as gold, skirt dhotis and sari dhotis that we’re going to keep in mind for the upcoming wedding season.

Picture: NIKASHA at LFW

 

Body jewellery

4

Ditch the summer’s delicate jewellery layering and opt for chunky gold jewellery that starts from your neck and ends below the bust forming a magnificent empress-like concoction for a royal festive look.

Picture: Vasundhara at LFW

 

Babydoll dresses

5

For a cute and girly look, go for a printed babydoll dress and wear it as a kurta on a pair of dhoti pants or with gold sneakers for a relaxed yet glamorous look.

step by step face makeup 600x400

Step 1

Prep your face with the Lakmé CC cream to achieve a flawless look and an even skin tone.


Step 2

Use a concealer to cover your dark circles and other blemishes on your face. Make sure you blend and pat on the concealer to ensure it looks smooth and natural. A good suggestion is the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Stick with SPF. You can apply this with the help of a concealer brush for optimum coverage.


Step 3

Apply a small amount of the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Foundation in a shade that’s best suited for your skin tone. Do this with a foundation brush and make sure it blends well all over your face and neck.


Step 4

Set your makeup with the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Compact Powder and layer on as much as is necessary, so your makeup stays in place and appears natural.


Step 5

For a little colour, apply the Lakmé Absolute Face Stylist Blush Duo in Coral Blush. Dust it onto the apples of your cheeks and then move the brush upwards along the lines of your cheekbones for a hint of natural colour.

So now that you have your face makeup base in place, we advise you to add to your beauty look  by going in for a chic hair updo. Tie your hair in a messy bun to earn compliments.

HOW TO LAYER JEWELLERY LIKE A PRO

Written by Vidhi GandhiSep 16, 2015
HOW TO LAYER JEWELLERY LIKE A PRO
We’d be lying if we said that jewellery layering is one of the easiest things to do. Truly speaking, it’s one of the hardest fashion skills to master. To demystify the art once and for all, we prepared a guide on how jewellery layering can be mastered whether it’s necklaces, bracelets or rings.

1

Mix textures

Combine boho with classics, deep rich hues always work well when mixed with gold. Be mindful of the sizes of the necklaces, make sure you don’t layer all the chunky pieces all at once and allow room for only one big, attention seeking piece at a time.

2

Start by layering same hued metals

A fail-proof look is when you layer the same hued metals. The key rule with this kind of a layering is playing around with same size, colour and shape of necklaces or rings for a stunner of a stack.

3

Play with lengths

Combine varied lengths when it comes to layering necklaces. Mixing metals or combine geometric pieces can add some fun to your style whereas sticking to dainty pieces can get you ahead in the game especially when you are looking to make a statement at work.ngs for a stunner of a stack.

4

Wear your watch as an accessory

Combine your watch with one chunky bracelet or add further layers with delicate bracelets for a power packed arm candy. Make sure all your pieces are from the same colour family for a co-ordinated look.

5

Rock the boho trend

Ditch the flashy gold and opt for rose or dull gold instead when it comes to rocking the boho trend. Combine varied sizes and styles whether it’s necklaces, bracelets or rings.

5 EASY WAYS TO EAT QUINOA FOR BREAKFAST

Reduce heat to medium-low and add sweet potato, onions, peppers, mushrooms and garlic to the skillet. Keep tossing to coat. Add uncooked quinoa to vegetables and allow it to toast lightly. Pour in water and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until it’s cooked. Prepare eggs as you'd desire and serve quinoa topped with eggs and cooked bacon.

Packed with essential vitamins and nutrition, bananas have extraordinary beauty and health benefits that aid in weight loss, brighten skin and help prevent cancer in the long run. Here’s why you should be eating more bananas for overall wellbeing.

Natural moisturiser and glow

Banana is rich in skin boosting Vitamin A and Vitamin C. It restores lost moisture and instantly makes skin supple. Beauty tip? Mash a banana and massage onto your face and neck every alternate day to combat dry skin. Leave it on for 20 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water for hydrated and glowing skin.

Heals cracked heels

Make a ripe banana feet pack to heal cracked heels. Mash a banana and apply it on cracked heels. Wash off with cold water and apply every day for quick results.

Reduce puffy eyes

Bananas are rich in potassium and counteract fluid retention caused by sodium. The inner surface of the banana peel can cool and reduce puffy eyes and helps you relax when you keep it on for 10-15 minutes.
