Things to Know

You should avoid any activity which lead to trauma to the skin and causes flaring up of acne. Avoid mechanical scrubbing, steaming, steaming hot water showers, picking up those pimples, rubbing your skin harshly, sweet intake and touching your face very often.

There is No concept of best product for any skin. It all depends on the concern, the type of skin, the season and your preferences. Few people like to have matt finish while others might like glossy. But if you think you cannot take the full 5 course regime then the Best Product for you is SUNSCREEN!! Never miss your sunscreen.

A simple at-home test called Waiting & Watching allows you to understand what kind of skin you have by just observing how your skin behaves after cleansing. To start, wash your face with a gentle cleanser then gently pat it dry. If after 30 minutes your skin appears shiny throughout, you likely have oily skin; if it feels tight and is flaky or scaly, you likely have dry skin; if the shine is only in your T-Zone, you probably have combination skin; and if your skin feels hydrated and comfortable, but not oily, you likely have normal skin.

Dandruff is caused by the overgrowth of a harmless yeast, in many people the yeast tends to feed on the excess oil and dead skin cells which leads to shedding and clumping of skin cells into flakes. So, if you think that Dandruff was because of dryness and oiling will control it, then you are wrong. It can even accelerate the process of hair fall. Also, having oil in your hair for a long period of time can make it lose its shine.

There is no fixed rule to this. It all depends upon type of hair you have and also is there any concern. On an average washing your scalp every alternate day is recommended. If you have oily scalp then you can wash daily. If you have dry scalp then you can wash 1-2 times per week. If you have dandruff then wash you scalp more often than you usually do. The key is to use good suitable shampoo for your scalp wash.

Of course, Yes! Your skin responds to every good nutritious food you consume and the skin health deteriorates if you eat unhealthily. A diet high in sugar and processed foods can lead to inflammation, acne breakouts, and premature aging of the skin. Smoking can also damage the skin. The toxins in cigarette smoke damage collagen and elastin, which are the fibrous components of your skin that keep it firm and supple. Long-term effects include dry skin, uneven skin pigmentation, baggy eyes, a saggy jawline, and deeper facial wrinkles and furrows.

Sugar damages your skin through a natural process called glycation. The sugar in your bloodstream attaches to proteins and produces harmful free radicals called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). As AGEs accumulate, they damage the proteins around them. A diet high in sugar can accelerate aging; although quitting sugar may not reverse signs of aging that have already manifested, it can slow their progression.

If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Apply your moisturizer on damp skin to lock in the moisture. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers. Moisturize every-time You sanitize.

A big fat No. While many people with oily skin steer clear of moisturizers for fear that their skin will look greasier, using the right moisturizers can benefit this type of skin. Keeping the skin dry leads to negative feedback to the body in turn increasing the production of oil. For people with very oily skin, an oil-free moisturizer could help keep the skin moist and protected, without it feeling greasy.

To really encourage length, you have to think of it in two steps: Stimulating growth and keeping the hair you do have healthy. Focus on hair supplements like collagen and biotin and good diet. Avoid physical damage to hair strands by using heat, harsh combing, chemical cleansers etc. Protect your hair by moisturizing it with conditioners and hair masks. Make sure you eat foods high in antioxidants or add a vitamin-rich supplement to your diet.
