5 things for better skin

⭐️Antioxidant serum in the morning
An antioxidant serum will protect your skin from UV rays and other environmental stressors.
Use it on a cleansed face in the morning before moisturiser and sunscreen
Key ingredients:
vitamin C
Resveratrol
Ferulic acid
Zinc PCA
Co enzyme Q10
Ubiquinone
Green tea extracts

⭐️Moisturiser twice a day
Moisturise should be used by all skin types. You may skip a moisturiser in the morning if you have very oily skin but e never skip at nights night time moisturiser is important for skin barrier repair
Key ingredients
Ceramides
Hyaluronic acid
Glycerine
Triglycerides
Shea butter
Cocoa butter
Pantothenol

⭐️Sunscreen with SPF 30 or more every 2 hours
Best sunscreen is the one you use regularly and reapply as required. Choose the one which suits your skin type. It might take a few trails but it will be worth the effort. If you don’t like white caste go for a chemical or hybrid sunscreen. If you have sensitive skin, use a pure mineral sunscreen

⭐️Retinol or AHA at night
Night is the time for repair and regeneration along with collagen boosting. Retinol can be used on alternate nights. Along with alpha hydroxy acids can be used once or twice a week. Never use them together.
Key ingredients
Retinyl palmitate
Retinaldehyde
Retinol
Tretinoin

Alpha hydroxy acids
Glycolic acid
Lactic acid
Mandelic acid

⭐️Lip balm with SPF
Lips need protection throughout the year and not just in winter. Lip balm should contain both emollients and Occlusives.
Look for a lip balm with spf. I have a reel on lip balms for dark lips where I have mentioned a few recommendations.

Special mention to cleansers
Cleansers have to be suitable to your skin type. Avoid foaming cleansers in winter if your skin is feeling dry. Double cleanse at night if you use make up or water resistant sunscreen.

My take on Brushes V/S Sponges!

Hyaluronic acid is an essential component of your skincare routine since it delays the development of early signs of ageing.

Fine wrinkles are the first signs of ageing and can appear as early as your 20s when your skin's moisture content starts to drop.

This Loreal Paris Hyaluronic acid serum works really well in instantly plumping up your skin. The micro hyaluronic acid molecules in the serum quickly hydrate the skin since the component hyaluronic acid can absorb 1000 times its weight in water..
It definitely DOES WHAT IT SAYS!

✨Urea
Urea is a part of natural moisturising🧴 factor of skin. It is synthesized in the body and found in the skin. It is important to keep your skin hydrated 💦and healthy. If you are struggling with dry skin, cracked heels , psoriasis or eczema then creams with urea can really help.

✨Ceramides:
Ceramides are Lipids or fats which help in maintaining the barrier of 🧬skin. Ceramides reduce water loss from the upper layer of the skin. It calms the skin along with reducing dryness and itching.

✨Squalene
Squalene is produced by oil forming glands of skin Squalane is a saturated derivative of squalene. It is extracted from olive oil, rice or soy. Squalane is technically an oil but feels non-sticky. It serves as an emollient which is colourless, odourless and also has antibacterial properties. It soothes sensitive skin.

✨Petrolatum / liquid paraffin
They are derived from crude petroleum oil. High refined mineral oils are colourless, odourless and tasteless. These are good occlusives , thereby sealing in the moisture 🧴 on surface of skin. It reduces the transepidermal 💦water loss and keeps skin hydrated for long periods of time.

✨colloidal oatmeal : If you have dry itchy skin then look for colloidal oatmeal in your moisturiser and cleanser .Oat (Avena sativa) has a long history in the treatment of skin disorders.
It contains avenanthramides which possess anti-inflammatory and anti oxidant properties.

Why is your Eyebrow thinning??

1. Part of aging.
After 45 years of age, your eyebrows will appear scantier

2. Thyroid deficiency :
Many of you don’t realise eyebrow loss could be internal; the most common culprit is thyroid disorder. Both overactive and underactive thyroid glands can lead to hair loss, but if you notice the ends of your brows thinning, this is usually a sign of the latter.

3. Alopecia areata :
The main cause of thinning brows is a hair-loss condition called “Alopecia areata”. This is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, which then leads to hair loss.

Have Heat, hot showers, arid climate and harsh soaps triggered dry skin??

Try these simple products to take care of your dry skin,

🧴Shea Butter or Cocoa butter, - Shea Butter has soothing properties and may make your skin appear smoother. They are Occlusives which seal in the moisture without leaving skin greasy. Look for ingredients like ceramides, squalane in your moisturiser which will help in maintaining skin barrier. Petrolatum, mineral oil are good Occlusives which help in dry skin.
Recommendations : Venusia max cream , excela max cream, bioderma atoderm

💦Non-Foaming cleanser - Avoid face wash with the foaming properties because a cleansers with a foaming properties consist of SLS properties that makes your skin more dry.
Recommendations: episoft face wash

☀️Sunscreen in cream or lotion formulation : Cream sunscreens work best for dry skin. Reapply every 2 hours for effective protection.
Recommendations: sunstop silk, suncros lotion, z screen sunscreen, la shield fisico.
