The Ultimate Moisturizing Skincare Routine For Girls With Dry Skin

One of the biggest gifts you can give yourself and your skin is some TLC. Sparing a few minutes everyday to make sure your skin stays healthy is just what it actually needs to glow. And while we understand that each skin type comes with its own skin troubles, there is nothing in this world that a religiously followed skincare routine can’t solve. So, for all you lovelies with dry skin, we have mapped out a thorough everyday skincare routine to follow to take care of your skin.

Step 1: Cleanse your skin

Cleansing the face is the first step towards healthy skin. For dry skin, we suggest going with a nourishing face wash. With real strawberry extracts in its formula, this face wash gently cleanses your skin without drying it, and strawberry antioxidants help nourish it further. Use this face wash twice a day–in the morning and before hitting the bed at night–to make sure your skin stays hydrated.

Step 2: Spritz on some toner

When you have dry skin, it is always a good idea to turn to an alcohol-free toner. This helps make sure that the skin is well cleansed, skincare products are nicely absorbed, and most importantly, the skin pH levels are balanced. Our go-to toner for dry skin. It is alcohol free and has the hydrating ingredient witch hazel that helps bind moisture in the skin. It also removes impurities, tightens pores, and makes sure your skin looks refreshed and healthy.

You Can Do Beauty Treatments While Watching Netflix

Do you frequently cancel salon appointments on weekends because your bed refuses to leave you? We understand that nothing beats cuddling up in a blanket and binge-watching your favorite Netflix show.

If you’re eager to learn more, keep reading.

You Can Do Beauty Treatments While Watching Netflix
  1. Watching a two-minute trailer: While watching a 2-minute trailer, scrub dead and dry skin from your lips. Each teaspoon of coconut oil, honey, sugar, and water should be mixed together. Massage this blend gently into your lips to replenish moisture and reveal beautiful, pink lips. 
  2. While watching a 20-minute show: Your hands are one of the most overlooked parts of your body. Keep your 20-minute show to give your nails and cuticles some attention. This one’s for you if you can’t wait for your nail polish to dry. You won’t be tempted to spoil your nail color if you apply your nail paint right before hitting play. You can also use this time to nourish your cuticles and nails by gently rubbing Vaseline Aloe Fresh Petroleum Jelly on your nails, cuticles, and hands. 
  3. During the course of a 30-minute show: The greatest time to put on a face mask is now. To acquire bright and smooth skin, swiftly combine a few items from your kitchen, such as half a teaspoon of lemon juice and two tablespoons of honey. If you have acne-prone skin, use 3 teaspoons of honey and half a teaspoon of cinnamon, leave it on for a few minutes, and then wash it off after the performance is done. 
  4. During the course of an hour-long episode: Once a week, a deep conditioning hair mask is necessary, and your one-hour performances are perfect for that. You can make a hair mask with just two ingredients; yogurt and honey. Apply it liberally throughout your hair and set it aside for an hour. While you relax, it will replace all of your dry and damaged strands. 
  5. Whilst watching a film: Prepare this easy facial mist while you wait for the popcorn to pop in the microwave. Simply combine half a cup of rose water with a few drops of your favorite essential oil in a spritz container. To keep your skin looking fresh and hydrated, spray every 30-45 minutes.

A Teabag Can Reduce Itching And Redness After Waxing. This Is How!

Skin irritation, itching, redness, and rash prevent you from wearing anything that comes into contact with the waxed skin while sleeping in your blanket, or even sitting comfortably. And it persists for several days. 

However, there is some good news… you no longer have to go through that. We have a simple and natural remedy for post-wax skin irritation. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy a cup of green tea… That’s it. Tea’s anti-inflammatory properties can quickly alleviate itching and inflammation. 

Allow us to demonstrate precisely how you can use the teabag hack to quickly alleviate post-waxing itching and redness on the skin. 

The hack: 

Soak some green teabags in water and place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Place the cold tea bags against the irritated skin. It aids in soothing the skin and diminishes redness. 

Additionally, it functions as a cold compress, and the cooling sensation aids in the healing of irritation and itchiness. Hold the teabag against your waxed skin for a few seconds before rinsing. After that, apply a cooling moisturizer. Repeate whenever your skin becomes irritated or itchy. Teabags can be reused two to three times. 

However, there is a simple way to alleviate post-wax itching; simply apply a calming moisturizer such as Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Fresh Body Lotion. This body lotion, enriched with natural aloe vera, aids in repairing and healing the skin, as well as calming the redness and itchiness that often accompany waxing, particularly if you have sensitive skin.

Everything You Need to Know About Fire and Ice Procedure

Everything You Need to Know About Fire and Ice Procedure

The Fire and Ice procedure is a combination of two FDA Cleared non-surgical technologies for skin tightening and permanent fat reduction. Fire and Ice treatment combines the two best non-surgical, non-invasive devices for treating the body and face.

The fire is BTL Exilis Ultra™ a heat based technology that uses radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound to help tighten the skin. The ice is CoolSculpting®, a cold-based technology that freezes fat to help reduce unwanted volume. Both devices are used to address several concerns in a single treatment.

What Are The Benefits Of The Fire & Ice Procedure?

These are both body contouring procedures, degrading or destroying fat cells. BTL Exilis is also a skin tightening procedure. By combining the two treatments, the different methods complement each other. CoolSculpting destroys up to a quarter of the fat cells. Exilis initiates skin tightening through enhanced collagen production.

This is the best of both procedures — you lose up to a quarter of the fat and your skin tightens down and firms in the area of the fat loss. This combination improves upon either procedure in isolation.

Am I A Candidate For Fire & Ice Treatment?

Everyone has stubborn pockets of unwanted fat that are virtually impossible to target with changes in diet and exercise alone. Also, as we age our collagen production continues to drop to the point that at 50 we’re producing 30 percent less collagen than when we were 20. Since collagen provides the skin’s natural underlying support structure, this allows the skin to sag and become visibly loose.

If you have pockets of stubborn fat and the skin laxity that comes with aging, the combination that is Fire and Ice at BodiSculpting Specialists is the perfect option.

How Do Fire And Ice Treatments Work?

First, we begin with the BTL Exilis Ultra. This is the “fire” portion. The BTL Exilis handpiece is moved over the treatment area. It delivers a combination of radiofrequencyand ultrasound energy down through the epidermis into the dermis layer of the skin. These two energies convert to heat energy when in the dermis. It triggers a wound response in the dermis, where new collagen is produced to “heal” the wound. This tightens and firms the skin.

Second, we perform CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to freeze the fat cells in the treatment area. About 20% of the fat cells in the treatment zone will die. This is the “Ice” portion of your treatment.

Need A Manicure? This Robot Will Lend You A Hand

Need A Manicure? This Robot Will Lend You A Hand

Frustrated with the time, effort, and money required to maintain a decent-looking manicure, Renuka Apte used to joke about how she’d invent something where she would put her hand in a contraption and when she removed them, her nails would be done. “Funny enough, that’s more or less what we’re doing now,” Apte, the co-founder of Clockwork, says over the phone. The development of a robot that could paint your manicure wasn’t only imagined out of necessity; artificial intelligence was advancing at a breakneck speed—Apte and her co-founders wanted to see how they could push the envelope themselves. “Robots are going to start interacting with humans more and more,” she says. “We wanted to have a voice there.”

What Is Clockwork—And How Does It Work?

Clockwork’s target audience is the person who is juggling a million plates and they don’t have time to do their nails on a regular basis. “Beauty services shouldn’t be reserved for those who just have the time and money for them,” Apte says.

The Clockwork team wanted to make the manicure process as seamless as possible. First, you drop a nail polish cartridge into the machine. (“It’s kind of similar to placing a pod in an espresso machine,” says Apte.) Then you place your fingers, one at a time, inside the machine. Then the robot works its magic: “The machine basically captures a bunch of pictures of your hand with two 3-D cameras and then it builds a multi-dimensional map of your fingers,” Apte says. “That information is sent to the AI, and the AI determines how the robot should move in order to deposit the polish in the right places.”

To make sure that the algorithm was as diverse as possible when it came to the hand and nail types, sizes, and colors that made up the formula, Clockwork’s team first started by asking family and friends to send pictures of their hands. Then they invited people from Dropbox and Roman (their offices are near Clockwork’s HQ in San Francisco) to try it out. And when they were fundraising, they asked investors to stop by their office and paint their nails, giving them even more data to strengthen their algorithm.

This Post-Shower Body Care Routine Is Perfect For Sensitive Skin

Do you want to avoid the annoyances associated with not caring for your body after showering? Consider this your guide to developing an effective post-shower body care routine for sensitive skin. Whether you opt for a quick shower or use the steam and warm water as your haven to think, the post-shower routine is the same for all!

  1. Keep it quick

While a long shower may feel wonderful, spending too much time in it can strip your skin of its natural oils and even cause inflammation, itchiness, and irritation. Thank you, but no. 

  1. Avoid showering in extremely hot water. 

In terms of irritation and inflammation, if you have sensitive skin, avoid burning hot water. Additionally, hot water depletes the skin’s natural oils, and while we’re not advocating for showering in ice-cold water, why not cool it down a bit? We’ve heard that lukewarm water is extremely effective. 

  1. Gently pat your skin dry. 

If you’re too rough on drying your skin, you risk irritating your skin and causing inflammation; therefore, whenever you pat yourself dry, keep in mind that gentle motions are far more beneficial. Additionally, do not abandon the towel entirely! Drying the skin with the air causes the body to lose any moisture it has gained and may further dehydrate your skin. To be safe, gently dab and blot your skin until it is completely dry, then immediately apply your moisturizer.  

  1. Use a deodorant that is alcohol-free 

No post-shower body care routine is complete without a quick application of deodorant.

Is It Necessary For Me To Alter My Skincare Routine Prior To Laser Treatment?

Is It Necessary For Me To Alter My Skincare Routine Prior To Laser Treatment?

Generally, the answer to this question is ‘Yes’. Your dermatologist will advise you on what to avoid prior to laser hair removal treatment, but we’ll go over some common preparations. As you may already be aware, laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with fair skin and dark hair. That is not to say it will not work for people with darker skin and lighter hair; however, you may require additional treatments. 

Your dermatologist may determine that the treatment is not appropriate for your skin tone or hair color in some cases. Thus, the most important factor in maintaining high contrast is to avoid exposure to sunlight for approximately a month and a half prior to treatment. When you must spend time in the sun, apply sunscreen daily to prevent tanning. 

In some cases, your dermatologist may prescribe a skin bleaching cream to apply to the treatment area prior to the laser to help maximize its effectiveness.

The skin bleaching effect is only temporary, and the skin reverts to its natural color upon discontinuation of use. For approximately a month prior to laser hair removal, you should abstain from all hair removal methods, including plucking, electrolysis, and waxing. These processes may cause the laser to miss hair follicles that are simply lying low following their removal, resulting in the regrowth of new hair. 

Finally, you will almost certainly be asked to shave the area the day before treatment. This allows the laser to focus exclusively on the follicle, rather than on the hair above, which can result in superficial burns on the skin’s surface.

Under-Eye Filler: A Sure-Fire Way to Get Rid of Pesky Under-Eye Bags

Eyes are some of the first areas to show signs of aging, which is why some may want to opt for and under-eye filler. Under-eye filler is a cosmetic procedure designed to add volume to the area under the eye where it may be sagging or look hollow. And they’re very popular.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, about 3.4 million procedures involving fillers were performed in 2020.

But are eye fillers right for you? Keep in mind that you don’t need eye fillers to improve any aspect of your health — they’re purely cosmetic for people who may feel self conscious about the appearance of their eyes.

Here’s what you need to know about under eye filler, including the preparation and aftercare for the procedure.

What is under-eye filler?

Under-eye filler is a non-surgical procedure. The contents of the injected fluid most often contain a base of hyaluronic acid that’s injected directly into the under-eye area, says Andrew Jacono, MD, FACS, board-certified facial plastic surgeon at J Spa Medical Day Spa.

Those who are thinking about getting under eye fillers should have realistic expectations and be aware that fillers are not a permanent fix. You will need to have follow-up procedures every 6-18 months if you want to maintain your new look.

The benefits of under-eye filler

  • Restores volume under your eyes immediately
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines around the eyes
  • Corrects the darkness under your eyes
  • Helps balance the face
  • Makes you look younger

The under-eye filler procedure

The procedure is simple, including the prep time and recovery. Be sure that you’ve done your research beforehand. Jacono urges you to make sure the doctor you choose is well-credentialed and can share before and after photos with you that you like.

Before the procedure

Once your procedure is scheduled, the most important thing to do is to discontinue use of blood thinners. Jacono says this includes over-the-counter medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen as well as supplements like fish oil and Vitamin E.

Everything You Need To Know About Face Rollers

Face Rollers: If you have been scrolling on Instagram recently, you may have come across another crystal skincare trend – the Face Roller. Ever since the Face Roller has trickled into the beauty community, everyone wants to know more about it. So, we put together the ultimate guide to face rolling – from its benefits to choosing a Roller according to your skin type. Read on to learn it all!

What Is A Face Roller?

A Face Roller, just like a Gua Sha, is neither new in tool or technique. It can be traced back to ancient China, where it was commonly used by wealthy Chinese women. A Face Roller is a handheld facial tool that is dual-ended with jade stone or any other crystal heads. These heads are used on different parts of your face, depending on its size.

Owing to their rising popularity, face rollers come in different sizes and stones. For example, a mini roller, like the name suggests is smaller in size and has only one roller head. It is travel friendly and more affordable than mid-sized rollers. The mini roller is designed to fit and focus around the eye and mouth areas.

Using a Face Roller produces several benefits, such as –

1. It Prevents Your Skin From Ageing

Face rolling tones your facial muscles and thus improves your skin’s elasticity, depuffs your face, and reduces any ageing signs

2. It Renews The Cells In Your Face

The rolling treatment is as good as any facial massage when done correctly (more about this soon). It energises your tired face by replenishing your skin cells.

3. It Increases Blood Circulation And Collagen In Your Face

Face rolling allows your blood to flow from one end of your face to the other, making it look fresher and brighter. It also improves the production of a facial skin protein known as collagen.

3 Ingredients That You Should Never Use Near the Eye Area

3 Ingredients That You Should Never Use Near the Eye Area

Our eyelid skin is extremely delicate and sensitive. As a result, it’s critical to be cautious about the ingredients you apply to the eye area. Applying harsh ingredients to your eyes can irritate them and even result in unpleasant infections. But before we begin, it’s critical to understand what the eye area actually is. The eye area is comprised of the upper eyelid and the surrounding area of the lower eye. Because the skin around the eye is extremely delicate and the first to show signs of aging, it must be treated with care. 

3 Ingredients That You Should Never Use Near the Eye Area
3 Ingredients That You Should Never Use Near the Eye Area

1. Parabens 

Using paraben-containing products near the eye area can cause inflammation, resulting in swelling, redness, itchiness, and in some cases, serious eye infection. 

2. Acne facial cleanser 

If you’re using an acne face wash, avoid the eye area, as acne does not occur around the eyes. Secondly, if you are using an anti-acne gel that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, avoid applying it near your eyes. 

3. Retinol 

Retinol is a widely used anti-aging ingredient that is found in a variety of anti-aging products. However, due to its potency, it may cause skin sensitization and extreme dryness in some. To begin, because our eye area is extremely delicate, it is best to use the mildest form of retinol. Maintain a safe distance from the lash line. Utilize it in the orbital region to achieve remarkable results.
