    Skincare tips before and after Holi celebrations

    As the most colourful festival is finally here, it is important to keep skincare in mind as Holi celebrations go beyond dry colours and flower petals. There are synthetic elements in certain colours and of course, we end up using other materials that can have a damaging impact on skin and hair. It is important to keep certain tips in mind to protect the skin and hair before and after the colourful celebrations. It is crucial to keep your skin and hair safe so here are a the top 5 useful and easy tips for pre and post Holi celebrations.

    Moisturise

    Keeping your skin moisturised is the most important step. Apply a gentle moisturiser that keeps you protected from the hazardous effects of colours and the synthetic elements in it. Pick a moisturiser that suits your skin type and helps retain moisture.

    Hydrate

    You can go for a good water based toner to maintain the nourishment level for your skin. You can either go for a clinically recommended toner or a herbal one is also a good choice.

    Oiling

    Applying oil to your skin and hair before the Holi celebration begins is always a good idea as it helps in getting rid of the colours post celebrations in a much easier way.

    Scrub

    Before the final cleanse regime, go for some homemade scrubbing as it will help in getting rid of the dead skin and the remaining colours post the festivities.

    Cleanse

    -Finally, use a good cleaner to complete the skincare. Go for a natural mild cleanser and complete the process and thereafter, apply some mosturiser and you are good to go. If there is any eruptions and boils due to any sensitivity, wash it properly and consult a skincare specialist.

  • Skincare tips before, after and during workouts

    Skincare tips before, after and during workouts

    We all know that workouts are great for the body and mind, but did you know that they are equally good for the skin, too? Regular workouts leave your skin feeling fresh and glowing. However, not many realise that certain skincare mistakes may be responsible for not letting the skin breathe, which is why you might be missing out on a post-workout glow.

    Pre-workout session

    –              Cleanse: You’re more likely to experience a breakout if you start your workout with dirty skin. Remove your makeup with an oil-based cleanser and then with a gentle cleanser.

    –              Moisturise and apply sunscreen: Apply your moisturiser and lip balm, as your lips can feel dry and chapped after a workout along with a sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

    During workout session

    –              Do not touch your face: All the germs and bacteria from the workout equipment can cause acne and even bacterial infection. So consciously keep your hands off your face while working out.

     

    –              Wipe off the sweat: Don’t wipe or rub your face against your clothes as it can lead to rashes and itchiness. Instead, use a soft towel and pat on the skin to get the sweat off.

    –              Hydrate: Keep drinking water during your workout. If you do not drink enough water, you may experience symptoms like dehydration, dry mouth, lack of sweating etc.

    Post-workout session

    –              Always clean your face after a workout: Use a gentle cleanser that works for your skin type. Keeping a sweat-free face can prevent the pores from clogging.

    –              Don’t ignore the body: Post-workout toxins usually get soaked into clothes. Ideally, one should take a quick shower and change into clean clothes.

    –              Moisturise: Skin can feel flushed and red following a workout due to heat from exercise. Apply a gentle moisturiser following your cleanse to help soothe the skin with a sunscreen.
