Things to Keep in Mind in Skincare

Fairness is integral to beauty and with the demand for such products, it has become even more competitive for manufacturers to produce potent and effective products. Leaving that aside, if you have ever spoken to a teenager suffering from dermatological concerns, the only response that you get is a depressing one considering the fact that every single teenage would die for a flawless complexion and this is when we doubt whether such products do work or just make tall claims.

Fair skin and lustrous hair are just two of the many desires of any girl growing up. They want to have the best of all; however, do need a heads up on beauty tips to enhance fairness in the long term basis. It is not just about that you attaining fairness, but about maintaining healthy skin.

Employing scrubs, face masks and creams is just not enough, what teenagers need is a regular skincare regime that is charted according to their skin type and sensitivity. Facial enhancement products and a good diet are important if you are serious about maintaining your overall health and consequentially, this leads to a glowing complexion.

To help teens combat skin related concerns, follow the ‘3 simple rules’ of ‘Eat Healthy,’ ‘Sleep well,’ and ‘workout regularly.’ If you incorporate these into your daily regime, improved texture and colour is what you shall notice. The need to religiously and consistently follow a routine chart is important if you really want long term results.

Drink lots of water to ensure that the skin is well hydrated.

Hair & Skin Protection

When festivals arrive, the first thing that comes to your mind is the celebrations; however, have we ever thought the consequential effect that a festival can have on our body? I guess not. One festival that instantly gets highlighted is Holi, the festival of colour and joy that is pompously celebrated across India, at the end of winter, on the last full moon day of the Phalguna lunar month. This is the day when colours are used on each other to welcome the advent of the spring festival. Consequentially, it is then that our skin and hair gets affected tremendously.

Most colours that we get nowadays are synthetic-based or contain harmful chemicals. This gravely affects our hair colour, texture and sheen no matter which hair product we use. It also causes skin irritation, allergy, rashes, acne or other skin ailments. Hence, I have come up with a few pointers to share with all before you expose yourself to such colours.

Hair and Skin needs added protection during these festive seasons. Hence, for Hair protection, apply henna or mehendi to protect your natural hair colour, apply almond or coconut on your hair to coat it and protect it from damage and tie it up neatly behind. Also, use a good quality hair product comprising of a shampoo, conditioner and serum for extra protection before going out to enjoy Holi.

Hence, ensure that you use an appropriate sunscreen lotion that has ingredients with high sun protective factor. Apply liberally all over the face, neck, arms and exposed parts of the skin for protection against sun exposure especially during day time. Next use a few drops of almond or baby oil over your facial area, neck, arms and exposed areas. Apply a lip balm with SPF protection of neutral colour and a waterproof Kajal to avoid smudges especially when playing with colour water. If you wish to enhance your eyes, use a smudge-proof eyeliner and waterproof mascara after grooming.
