Reasons Why Makeup Removal Is As Important As Application

Most girls have a very strong bond with their makeup bags! Every day, they wake up, get
ready for their day ahead and a major part of that routine is makeup. Some go for a simple kajal, lip balm and face cream ritual and some go all out and experiment with contouring, eyebrows, lipsticks, foundations, primer, eye-shadow. However simple or complicated our make rituals maybe, we just can’t do without it. And why should we? They are an expression of our inner self. They enhance our beauty, and we get a chance to portray ourselves artistically through it. But makeup can also cause quite the damage if not removed on time kept on for too long. While we love putting it on, makeup removal is also extremely important. Here’s why:

1. The Terrible Breakouts

This is a no brainer. When you sleep with your makeup on, you are not cleaning off the
dirt, pollution and oil your face, gathered the whole day. They clog your pores and give you some bad acne. Cleaning your face off every night is the best gift you can give your skin!

2. The Dullness Next Morning

Listen up!
If you keep your makeup on for longer than what it should be, then you are letting all those makeup products and cosmetics seep into the fine lines and creases of your skin. This takes away the natural lustre of your skin, making it look dull, and may we say it, aged!

3. Your Skincare Efforts Will Be A Waste

It goes without saying that, if you have a nighttime skincare routine with anti-ageing creams or radiance building creams then doing it on a clean face is the best way to go about it. Otherwise, all the product on your face won’t let the creams reach your skin, delivering less than desirable results.

What Are The Short & Long-Term Consequences Of Ultraviolet Exposure?

The skin is the body’s largest external organ and thus the most vulnerable to environmental damage. Whether you enjoy the outdoors or not, Ultraviolet(UV) exposure can affect you anywhere, including indoors and can cause damage. It is well established that even a 15-minute exposure to direct sunlight can have a detrimental effect on your skin. 

  1. Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays 

It has the lowest energy level and affects only the inner cells of the skin’s top layer, including the dermis. Immediate tanning and sunburn are among the short-term effects. Premature aging, wrinkles, and certain types of skin cancer are all long-term effects. 

  1. Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays 

UVB rays have a higher energy level than UVA rays and cause damage to the cells in the top layer of the skin. In the short term, delayed tanning, sunburn, and blistering may occur. Skin cancer‘s long-term effects may also contribute to premature aging. 

  1. Ultraviolet C (UVC) rays 

UVC is a lesser-known wavelength that can damage the outermost cells in the skin’s top layer. In the short term, redness, ulcers, and severe burns may occur. In the long run, it can result in skin cancer and premature aging, but this is not a common occurrence.

Collagen Induction Therapy: Everything You Need to Know

Collagen Induction Therapy: Everything You Need to Know

Collagen induction therapy is a skin rejuvenating therapy for improving numerous undesirable skin conditions. There are two kinds of microneedling therapies available: The kind that utilizes platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and the kind that doesn’t. We will be focusing on the latter.

Collagen is the primary protein found everywhere in the body that is responsible for the structure of the cells of every organ including the skin. This is why manipulating its level of production in the human body can improve and heal so much.

Collagen Induction Therapy

Collagen induction therapy (CIT) treatments are used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin blemishes including scars. The procedure involves the use of tiny, almost microscopic, needles that are used to pierce tiny holes in the skin.

Hundreds of microneedles are mounted on a specially designed handheld roller used by our dermatologist for the procedure. The needles are mounted in such a way that they can be rolled over the skin, causing tiny puncture wounds as they press against the skin.

The tiny, almost invisible, puncture wounds signal the body that a small injury has occurred in that particular region. This forces the body’s healing agents and mechanisms to go to work in order to repair the damage. These healing agents include collagen and elastin. These two proteins are responsible for producing smooth, plump skin.

Are You a Candidate?

The collagen induction therapy procedure can be conducted on the face and many parts of the body. If you have symptoms of premature aging like fine lines and wrinkles, you are definitely a good candidate.

Loose or sagging skin is a problem that can occur on many parts of the body. The CIT therapy sessions can help with sagging or loose skin by plumping up the area, which has a tightening effect on the skin. The treatments for loose skin can be performed on the face, shoulders, arms and even the abdomen to some extent.

Then there are the scars so many men and women have to live with. Scarring from acne is a major problem for many young and older adults. There are also many who have permanent scars from illnesses like chicken pox. These are treatable as well, and patients are delighted to see them finally vanish. Scars from old wounds or even surgical scarring can be smoothed out with collagen induction therapy treatments.

Understand The UVA And UVB Rays In Great Detail

UVA and UVB rays are the primary source of concern for the skin, so let’s examine them in greater detail. 

Understand The UVA And UVB Rays In Great Detail
Understand The UVA And UVB Rays In Great Detail
  1. Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays 
  • UVA rays account for 95% of all radiation reaching the earth. 
  • They have longer wavelengths and lower energy levels than other forms of ultraviolet radiation. However, because they are more penetrating than UVB rays, they can affect deeper layers of the skin and cause indirect DNA damage. 
  • They cause the skin to age more rapidly or prematurely, which manifests as wrinkles. These are also linked to certain types of skin cancer. 
  • They are not absorbed by the ozone layer, unlike UVB rays, and thus approximately 95% of this radiation reaches the earth. This results in immediate tanning and, if left out too long, sunburns.
  1. Ultraviolet B rays 
  • UVB rays account for only 5% of radiation due to their filtering by the ozone layer. 
  • Because they have shorter wavelengths and a higher energy level, they cause damage to the skin’s outermost layers and can directly damage DNA. 
  • UVB rays are responsible for the majority of skin cancers, but they can also cause wrinkles.
  • Overexposure to UVB rays results in sunburn and, in most cases, delayed effects or delayed tanning.

AN EXPERT GUIDE TO EXFOLIATION

Someone on Instagram once said, “Filters are great, but great skin is better!” We have always emphasised that when you take good care of your skin, it shows. And while we remain ardent advocates of the CTM (cleanse, tone and moisturise) routine, your skin needs a little more than that to stay glowy and healthy. Enter: Exfoliation.

While exfoliation is not a new concept, many of us still don’t seem to get it right or skip it altogether. To understand the benefits of exfoliation and how to do it right, we got in touch, Head of Education, Dermalogica India, to help us put together a detailed expert guide on how to exfoliate the skin the right way. Check it out.

What is exfoliation, and how does it benefit you?

Every few days, your skin sheds dead skin to make way for new ones. This dead skin remains on your skin surface and leads to issues like clogged pores, dry patches, white flakes and breakouts.

To avoid all these, you must exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week. It helps get rid of the dead skin cells, make your skin even and smooth, unclogs the pores, stimulates collagen production and reduces fine lines as well.

How to exfoliate face: Step-by-step guide

Before you begin, it’s best to exfoliate your skin at night to avoid sun exposure on a fresh layer of skin achieved after exfoliation. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, here’s a step-by-step guide to exfoliating the skin.

A Complete Guide on Classic, Hybrid & Volume Eyelash Extensions

Thinking to enhance your natural eyelashes with eyelash extension but not sure which style will suit you best? Don’t worry; we will tell you all about the different types of lash extensions and help you decide which one is best for you.

The Three Main Types of Lash Extensions

CLASSIC EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Classic lash extensions are the most common and natural-looking eyelash extensions. They’re applied in a 1:1 ratio which means 1 eyelash extension is glued to 1 natural eyelash. It is not possible to place an extension where there isn’t a natural lash!

Classic lashes are great for you if you:

  • Have a lot of natural eyelashes
  • Want to add more length

The application process typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours and the result would be beautiful, natural-looking eyelashes. However, if you have fewer eyelashes, you should not go for classic eyelash extensions.

HYBRID EYELASH EXTENSIONS

If you want to add both length and volume to your eyelashes but don’t want the dramatic look of Volume extensions, you should go for hybrid lash extensions.

Hybrid Lashes are simply a combination of Classic as well as Russians Volume extensions. When you choose hybrid eyelash extensions, you get the best of both worlds without the dramatic look of Volume lashes.

VOLUME EYELASH EXTENSIONS

If you are not blessed with beautiful, voluminous lashes, then volume lash extensions might be the perfect solution for you. Volume Lash Extensions, also known as Russian volume lash extensions, provide incredible fullness & also last longer than classic lash extension.

If 2 lash extensions are applied to 1 natural lash, it is described as 2D, if 3 lash extensions are applied to one natural lash, then it’s described as 3D. This can continue up to 5D.

Volume lashes are great for you if you:

  • Have fewer eyelashes
  • Have gaps in your lash line
  • Want fuller looking lashes
  • Want a more glamorous & dramatic look 

The application process typically takes 2 to 3 hours and the result would be thick, dramatic eyelashes.

15 Reasons To Embark On A Yogic Journey To Stay Fit This Season

Yoga is like the true essence of a healthy lifestyle. From staying fit to rejuvenating oneself from the daily chores of life, including yoga in your routine is surely going to be one of those things that you cling on to for life. And it’s a common misconception that yoga is for adults or grown-ups. It is for all those who wish to treat their bodies like a temple.

1. Extremely Beneficial For Respiration

One of the most extraordinary benefits of doing Yoga breathing exercises (Pranayama and Kapalabhati) is it supports your respiratory muscles making them stronger, flexible and gives your lungs more room to breathe. It also enhances the overall capability of our respiratory system by gradually lengthening our inhale and exhale abilities. Regular yoga breathing exercises also lower the chances of being a victim of Asthma. It can also cure mild Asthma and COPD. Practising Yoga regularly would help you take fewer breaths of greater volume and which is very calming to enhance the stillness of your body.

2. Cures Sinuses

The basics of yoga—asana, pranayama, and meditation—all work to improve your health, but there’s more in the yoga toolbox. Consider chanting! It tends to prolong exhalation, which shifts the balance toward the parasympathetic nervous system. When done in a group, chanting can be a particularly powerful physical and emotional experience. A recent study from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute suggests that humming sounds—like those made while chanting Om—open the sinuses and facilitate drainage.

3. Regulates High Blood Pressure

It has been proven from time to time that Yoga has a profound effect on your body, mind and soul. Which eventually helps in lowering your increased blood pressure by reducing stress. Its forms like Savasana and Shisuasana promote blood circulation in the body, thus maintaining stable Blood Pressure by relaxing your entire mechanism.

The Benefits of Paraffin Wax and How to Use It at Home

The Benefits of Paraffin Wax and How to Use It at Home

Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft, solid wax, it’s often used in skin-softening salon and spa treatments on the hands and feet. It’s made from saturated hydrocarbons. It can also be used to provide pain relief to sore joints and muscles.

This wax has many other uses, too. It’s often used as lubrication, electrical insulation, and to make candles and crayons.

What are the benefits of paraffin wax?

Cosmetic benefits

Cosmetically, it is often applied to the hands and feet. The wax is a natural emollient, helping make skin supple and soft. When applied to the skin, it adds moisture and continues to boost the moisture levels of the skin after the treatment is complete.

It can also help open pores and remove dead skin cells. That may help make the skin look fresher and feel smoother.

Therapeutic benefits

Paraffin wax may be used to help relieve pain in the hands of people with:

It acts like a form of heat therapy and can help increase blood flow, relax muscles, and decrease joint stiffness. Paraffin wax can also minimize muscle spasms and inflammation as well as treat sprains.

Are there side effects?

Paraffin wax is tested in a lab to make sure it’s safe and hygienic to use on the body. It’s completely natural and has a low melting point, which means it can be easily applied to the skin at a temperature low enough not to cause burns or blisters.

However, if you have very sensitive skin, this wax may cause heat rash. Heat rash results in small red bumps on the skin that can be itchy and uncomfortable.

You should not use paraffin wax if you have:

  • poor blood circulation
  • numbness in your hands or feet
  • diabetes
  • any rashes or open sores

If you have a chemical sensitivity, you may develop minor swelling or breakouts from the wax treatment. That’s because paraffin comes from petroleum products.

If you’re doing a paraffin wax treatment at home, take care not to heat the wax too much, as it may catch fire. It should be no more than 125°F (51.7°C) when you start your treatment.

5 REASONS WHY HYALURONIC ACID IS A SKINCARE HERO FOR DRY SKIN

5 REASONS WHY HYALURONIC ACID IS A SKINCARE HERO FOR DRY SKIN

SKINCARE: If you’re a skincare junkie who has been trying to tackle dry skin forever, chances are, the term ‘hyaluronic acid’ has popped up in your searches more than a few times. Essentially a saviour for dry skin, hyaluronic acid is primarily a complex sugar that’s found in the skin and provides hydration and plumpness. Although it’s present naturally in the body, dehydrated and dry skin can’t always avail its benefits — which is where topical hyaluronic acid products step in.

From plumping up the skin to hydrating it to even slowing down signs of ageing, we’re listing down the five reasons why hyaluronic acid is a hero for dry skin.

  • Instant hydration
  • Firm, supple skin
  • Smooth skin texture
  • Anti-ageing
  • Dewy complexion

01. Instant hydration

Did you know that hyaluronic acid can hold upto 1000 times its molecular weight in water? That should give you an idea of how hydrating it is. Topically, it penetrates the skin and binds water to skin cells, thus, deeply hydrating the skin. Additionally, it’s also a humectant that draws moisture from the surrounding environment. Think of using hyaluronic acid for your face as drinking a giant glass of water for your dry skin and quenching its thirst.

02. Tighter, more supple skin

Saggy skin? No thank you. While your skin may be more at risk of sagging faster when it’s dry, topically using hyaluronic acid can prevent that. Adding more moisture to the skin, it firms up the face, giving it a more youthful-looking appearance and plumper look. You can use it with a face-roller to make your skin even tighter. We love it already!

Ultimate Guidelines To Develop A Post-Workout Skincare

Having said that exercise is critical for maintaining healthy skin, it is also critical to develop a post-workout skincare routine. Even if you exercise at home, you should maintain a consistent skincare routine following your workout to keep your skin healthy. 

Tips for After-Work out Skincare
Tips for After-Work out Skincare
  1. Avoid touching your face. 

Germs are multiplying on your workout equipment, including the yoga mat. They come into constant contact with your hands, and if you touch your face, these germs and bacteria can be transferred to your face, resulting in acne. Always have a clean towel on hand to wipe your face and neck. 

  1. Have a shower 

After your workout, you may want to rest for a few minutes before continuing with your day. Allowing sweat to dry on your skin, on the other hand, can be quite damaging, clogging your pores and eventually leading to acne. That is why after your workout, you should change out of your sweaty clothes and take a shower to thoroughly cleanse your skin. 

  1. Apply a cooling gel

Along with sweat, the workout session dehydrates your skin; this means that your skin will be quenching for moisture in the same way that your mouth does for water. Add a cooling gel to your post-workout skin care routine to instantly moisturize and calm your skin.
