We don’t blame you if you’re overwhelmed with the surge of skin care products available today. Thanks to that, your skin care routine has possibly become a never-ending and tiresome process. With so many beauty products being slathered on your skin, you probably can’t pinpoint and tell what is it that’s really working for you. While skin care layering might actually be K-beauty’s biggest endorsement, it’s also a minimalist’s nightmare. What if you wanted that capsule skin care routine that could cater to both your basic and complicated skin care needs? We’ve downsized your skin care routine to 3 beauty products for 01 cleansing, 02 toning and 03 hydrating (CTH or as we call it, the 01-02-03 routine). Read on to know what they are…

Cleanse

A building block to good skin, cleansing is one of the most vital parts of the CTH routine. All through the day, your skin battles out environmental aggressors like the sun and pollution. The combination of sweat, makeup and grime mean that your skin is in dire need of a cleanse—the activity that ensures your skin gets rid of impurities along with dead skin, which is infamous for dulling down your complexion. While a cleanser lifts away all the gunk, it should also induce moisture into the skin during the process of washing. Additionally, the job of a cleanser is to prep your skin to absorb the potency of a toner and hydrator.

Our pick: The Dermafique AquaQuench [Cleansing Mousse].

Why: Along with being a powerhouse cleanser that lifts away dirt and grime from the skin, this cleansing mousse is packed with Amino AquaVita Complex, Vitamin E and Vitamin B5. Owing to its micro-water droplets, this cleansing hero ensures your skin remains amply hydrated much after you’ve completed the process.

Tone

The most underestimated beauty product of the skin care regimen, a toner is crucial to the health of your skin. It removes the hidden grime that your cleanser may have missed out. Consider it a double check on grime removal. Its qualities, however, aren’t restricted to just that. A toner is your superhero when it comes to deep cleansing your pores to ensure that dirt and gunk doesn’t settle in to cause acne and other skin concerns.

Our pick: The Dermafique All Important [Skin Toner]

This toner is a product that clarifies pores while balancing the pH levels in your skin to ensure that your skin barrier remains well-protected against stressors. Additionally, it is alcohol-free, which ensures it keeps irritability at bay.

Hydrate

Your skin is hugely dependent on hydration irrespective of your skin type—no two ways about that. Hydrators are the multitasking beauty products of the skin care world; they don’t just add moisture into your skin but also aid your skin in holding the moisture. This is how hydrators keep your skin protected from the damaging effects of the sun and pollution. When you don’t take the hydration ritual seriously, you compromise your skin barrier. This is when your skin starts comprehending the fact that you aren’t lending it the water it needs. Over time, your skin loses its ability to recover from sagging, wrinkles and fine lines. If you wish to save your skin from this level of harm in the future, make sure you invest in day and night hydrators. A day cream will protect your skin from damage through the day while a night cream will revitalize your skin overnight—the time where skin healing is at its optimum.

Our pick: The Dermafique Advanced Hydration and the Dermafique Advanced Repair

In a country like India where the sun is directly above us for the greater part of the year, getting fair skin can be a daunting task. Too much sun exposure, pollution, the humidity and grime all make it difficult to retain our skin’s texture, health and original complexion. So what are the measures you need to take to get brighter skin? Here’s a list of some of the most tried and tested skin care tips for fair skin that you should begin to include in your beauty routine at the earliest…

1.      Protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays that can cause it harm. One of the ways is sunscreen and the other, covering your face when you step out into the sun. If you’re outdoors, carry a hat, umbrella or scarf and use a good sunscreen that can protect your skin from sun’s rays especially during 10 am and 4 pm when they are said to be the harshest! The earlier you make this a habit, the more your skin will reward you for it.

2.      Most of us already exfoliate our skin during a facial. But if you want fair skin, you need to make this a part of your skin’s routine at least once a week. Exfoliation will get rid of the surface level dirt, grime and dead skin to reveal glowing skin that lies beneath. Plus, the circular motion of exfoliation also helps to facilitate blood circulation that promotes the growth of new cells. You can do this by way of exfoliating gloves or a gentle scrub.

3.      Even dummies are aware of the fact that in a tropical country like India, no skincare routine can be complete unless there is an SPF factor involved. Sunscreen is a must and SPF 30+ will suit our climate the best! Find one that is meant for your skin tone—oily or dry—and one that won’t leave any greasy residue behind. Also note that it is best to apply sunscreen about 20 minutes before you step out into the sun if you want it to be most effective.

4.      Diet plays an important role in your skincare routine so if you’re wondering how to get fair skin, start eating Vitamin C-laden fruits and veggies. A glass of lemon water through the day, some more citrus thrown in through the course of the evening and perhaps antioxidant-rich dark chocolate too, since antioxidants are known to help with skin lightening.

One of the other

ways to get fair skin

is to make homemade fair skin masks a part of your skincare ritual. A common one is to mix equal parts of milk and honey, apply the mixture on your face and leave it on for about twenty minutes. When repeated once a week, you can expect to see a change in your skin tone over time.

There are plenty of men who’ve given us our favourite hairstyles—be it David Beckham’s Mohawk or Elvis Presley’s famous quiff hairstyle that had the world going gaga over him. From long hairstyles to short ones, you can’t deny the fact that a hairstyle can change a man’s persona. So if you’re looking for research on a list of hairstyles to try out this season, we’ve got an extensive low-down on the most popular all-time fave hairstyles for men. Read on to know what they are…

Undercut

This one is when the sides are shaved while hair at the top is on the right, left or even backwards. Perfect for men who like experimenting with their looks, the undercut hairdo is easily achievable with an effective hair gel.

Pompadour

Surely, this one looks high maintenance but a nicely done pompadour will easily get you all the attention you’ve been yearning for. In this men’s hairstyle, the hair is swept back above the forehead—its look is neat and is easily achievable using a blow dryer and a pomade.

Buzz cuts

Also known as the military cut, the buzz cut will always be the go-to men’s hairstyle. This is when the hair is extremely short not more than 3-4 inches. If like a low maintenance men’s hairstyle that’s fuss free and easy to pull off, buzz cut is what you ought to try out!

The fade cut

In this men’s hairstyle, the texture of the hair remains on top but on both the temples, it is kept shorter. If you have curly hair, try going for a fade on the side while keeping your lustrous curls on top. But make sure you don’t step out without a bit of leave in conditioner in your hair.

Quiff

This men’s hairstyle is all about keeping the volume at the top. But if you don’t like too much volume, you can decide on how much texture you actually want. The best part is that you can actually experiment further with this one by keeping it messy or neat.

Side part

This is when your hair is split on the left or right section—depending on which side you like your part. Perfect for men who suffer from bald spots and wish to conceal them, this men’s hairstyle is smart and stylish. If you want a slick look, go for a gel that will help set on your hairstyle perfectly.

Messy fringe

This hairstyle strictly for the experimental man—you have a textured messy fringe over your forehead. Unlike us girls, you needn’t worry about the fringe looking poker straight for effect; this one can stay as messy as possible!

French crop

You’d be lying if you said that losing hair doesn’t bother you. Sure, we might lose 100 strands a day, which is considered normal but hair loss in chunks can give most of us sleepless nights. This is when we try it all—from overpriced hair treatments to spending a fortune on hair products. While this may give you results, it might also be all in vain. This is when you need to consider a variety of factors that might actually be the reason behind hair loss—the lack of nutrition in your diet, hormonal concerns, careless hair regimes and so on. If you wish to get all the deets on some easy peasy ways to reduce hair loss, it’s time to face these questions...

Are you eating right?

Just like Vitamin C is imperative for glowing skin, zinc is important for hair growth. This means that a balanced diet with the right nutrients is necessary for healthy hair and is of absolute importance if you’ve been suffering from hair loss. When you don’t include healthy hair inducing nutrients in your diet, your scalp gets dehydrated, which eventually leads to hair fall and hair loss. This is why you need to make sure you include foods like oysters, pumpkin seeds and lentils in your diet, all of which are rich in zinc.

Are you mishandling your hair?

You sleep on silk pillowcases to ensure that your hair doesn’t lose moisture but what use is that if you’re tying your hair too tight before getting into bed? While it’s imperative to tie your hair up to avoid breakage, also remember that tying your hair too tight might cause headaches and pull your hair causing breakage. Moreover, if you truly wish to know how to stop hair loss make sure you never sleep with wet hair since that will only lead to your hair turning frizzier leading to breakage.

Are you going overboard with heat styling?

Yes, we’re all struggling with chock-a-block schedules that leave us with little time for ourselves (and our hair). This means we invariably reach out for blow dryers and straighteners to style our hair. Little do we realise that all the hair loss we’re experiencing might actually be a result of heat styling tools. Heat styling often robs your hair of moisture leaving your hair dehydrated. Hence, it’s best to steer clear of heat styling if you’re truly looking for the perfect hair loss cure.

Are you using the right shampoo and conditioner?

You might be tempted to invest in the shampoo your friend keeps talking about but using the same one for yourself might hardly help your hair. You need a Keratin based shampoo and conditioner that induces proteins into your hair. This will make your tresses healthy and strong so they are well-armed against hair loss and hair breakage.

Are you forgetting to oil your hair?

You’d rather spend your weekend sleeping in rather than giving your hair that extra TLC, right? Time to correct that! Oiling and

applying a hair mask

When summer comes calling, it’s a sign to pull out those dresses, sit by the pool and take in the sunshine. What can make this a tough feat is if you have long hair. Although flowing tresses look lustrous and magnificent; caring for them can be tedious in the summer months. That’s why it’s important to opt for the right hairstyles for long hair during the sweltering season so that your locks can look wonderful with minimal effort.

Braided top knot

If you find the top knot too basic for your long hair, look no further than its braided version. Adding a braid before you twist your hair into a top knot can breathe life into your look and give it classic touch. To get the look, tie your hair length into a ponytail at the back of your head. Then plait the ponytail into a 3 strand braid. Finally, wrap it around the base of the ponytail and use bobby pins to secure it in place. Especially for a formal dinner on a hot summer night, this is the updo for long hair that you need to try.

Fishtail braid

If you are looking to give your summer look a gypsy touch, the fishtail braid is your answer. It’s sophisticated, stunning and only looks deceiving. To make the fishtail braid the long hairstyle of your choice, follow these steps. First divide the hair length into 2 large sections. Next take a small section of hair from the right hand side of section 2 and cross it over to section 1. Then, from section 1, take a small section of hair from the left hand side and cross it over to section 2. Repeat this criss-crossing of hair sections until you have reached the end of the hair length. Tie your fishtail braid with a transparent band to make your long hair look fantastic.

Space buns

Need to add a touch of playfulness to your summer beauty look? Then space buns are where it is at. From the numerous types of hairstyles for the season, this one definitely hits the mark as most quirky. To make the space buns your own, start by parting your hair down the centre to divide it into 2 sections. Take a section of hair, position it above your ears, wrap the length around the base and pin it in place. Repeat the step for the other side too. Your long hair will be tucked in place for you to flaunt your space buns at a music festival.

Twisted ponytail

Since the ponytail is every long haired girl’s go-to hairstyle, you can give it a slight upgrade this summer with the help of a few twists. To do so, brush all your hair back and separate 2 sections on side of your head. Twist the entire hair length of each of these sections until its end. Then add these twisted sections to your main ponytail and tie the entire length of your hair together. Wrap these twisted sections around the hair tie to finish off the sporty hairstyle.

Chignon bun

Are you guilty of ignoring a daily hair care routine? Invariably, we end up blaming our chock-a-block schedule and stressful lives for the same. Sure, we all juggle various tasks and play many roles but if you truly want to live a healthy life, taking care of yourself should be top priority. While your health needs to be in check at all times, your skin and hair deserve ample attention too, in order for you to feel good and look like a million bucks every single day. If you’ve woken up to too many bad hair days, thanks to your unhealthy lifestyle, here are some hair care tips to keep in mind for healthy hair...

Brush your hair

There are chances of your hair getting tangled while you’re asleep. Little do you know that this can be rather detrimental to the health of your hair—it can easily cause breakage and hair fall. This is exactly why you need to use a de-tangling brush and brush your tresses every morning before heading for a shower.

Know how to use a shampoo and conditioner

Yes, you do wash your hair every alternate day but do you know if you’re doing it, right? You might assume this to be an easy task but knowing where to cleanse your hair is crucial to your hair care routine. This means when you use a shampoo, know that your scalp needs all the nutrients, so you must cleanse your scalp with the shampoo thoroughly. As far as the conditioner is concerned, use it only on your roots to ensure that your scalp doesn’t get oily.

Do not rely on heat styling all the time

You love that sexy blowout the hair dryer gives you? So much so that you take the shortcut and blow dry your hair every now and then. But do you realise the ill effects of doing so? Heat styling can cause some serious damage to your scalp and rob your hair of moisture making it dry and dehydrated. So make sure you take this hair care tip of staying away from heat styling rather seriously.

Tie your hair before sleeping

Just like your skin deserves a night time routine, your hair needs it too! As a part of your hair care routine, make sure you tie your hair into a loose ponytail before you get into bed. This will ensure that your hair doesn’t get tangled while you’re asleep. In turn, that will help your hair stay away from breakage, moisture loss and other conditions.

Follow a fitness regime

Whether you like it or not, working out is one of the biggest solutions to healthy hair. Why should that be a part of your hair care routine, you wonder? Exercise improves blood circulation, which provides nourishment to the roots and boosts hair growth. It’s really as simple as that!

Get your dose of nutrients

From melting makeup to skin that’s constantly irritated, summers can be a trying time for our beauty routine.

3 essential healthy hair tips for long hair

Keywords

If you haven’t been paying attention to hair care as much as skin care, it’s about time you did that. With a few lifestyle changes and an easy hair care routine, bad hair days could indeed be a thing of the past. Want to know what these simple hair care tips are? Read on...

Treat wet hair with care

You need to understand that wet hair is susceptible to breakage. This is why you must pay extra attention to it. So while using the correct shampoo and conditioner is of utmost importance to your hair, it is just as necessary to be gentle while applying them to your hair. Once you come out of the shower, avoid brushing your hair immediately. When it’s semi-dry, make sure you use a wide-tooth comb on your tresses to avoid any damage.  

Don’t forget oil massages

There’s a reason why your grandma told you about the many benefits of champi. Even today, oiling remains one of the most magical routes to achieving healthy hair. When oil is massaged into the scalp, it enters the hair cuticle and nourishes the strand from root to tip. Moreover, massaging oil into your scalp also promotes blood flow, which gives rise to hair growth.

Use heat styling gadgets sparingly

We can’t resist styling our hair with straighteners and curlers. But truth be told, the heat coming out of these gadgets can easily make your hair dull and damaged because they rob your hair off moisture. This is why you should restrict the usage of heat styling products to special occasions only. However, if you must use it more often, make sure you invest in a heat protectant that will shield your hair against all the damage.
