Cosmetics are not a Quick fix

Cosmetics are not a Quick fix. Choose them with care. These days we can observe the market is flooded with an excess of cosmetic brands and every brand is promising that their product is “THE BEST”. In such a cumbersome situation consumer gets confused for a good and bad choice. As a result, they end up with any random pick up and leave. Skin specialists advice to take proper consultations before using any product. Here you can find some experts in this industry :

Dr Siddhi Tiwari, Dermatologist
As per Dr Siddhi, Cosmetics, OTC products and home remedies are various options available for skin care, pampering and grooming and they are easily available to individuals for use at home. These products can provide major support to maintain skin tone, texture, hydration, photo-protection, camouflage etc.

The choice of these products depends largely on individual skin type and external and environmental factors. Specific skin conditions like pigmentation, ageing skin and other dermatological ailments need treatment with directions of pharmaceutical agents recommended by a dermatologist for their therapeutic effect.

Products should never be self-prescribed or should never buy without a doctor’s supervision. As you never know which product can harm you.  And which product can give you life long punishment? Home remedies like use of honey, lemon, aloevera , curd face packs, Multani mitti, besan, fruit pulps etc serve as the best option for instant revitalising of the skin, achieving exfoliation and glow and without any side effects. These remedies are easily available in our kitchens, easy to use, safe and effective but yes you can say results are for the short term.

Kanika Aggarwal, Co-founder, Satvik Spirit
As per her opinion, one can surely buy products over the counter. But, we need to be more careful about the ingredients present in them. Like for shampoos, generally see that they are SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) free as it can cause irritation to the eyes and skin. For oils, prefer natural oils or cold-pressed oils, especially during winter. Also, make sure they are free from mineral oil. People with sensitive skin should never be uncertain for their decisions about the product. So it’s better to avoid using artificial fragrances as these can cause rashes and allergies.

Mahima Gupta, Founder, Bhu Botanicals
As per her words, one should look for the products that are available online and that must contain Sea Buckthorn Oil, Olive Leaf Extract, French Rose Clay, Hyaluronic Acid titanium Oxide & Zinc Oxide, Immortelle oil, Niacinamide, Kokum butter. French Rose Clay that hold great benefits for the skin. Rosehip seeds are extremely beneficial for the skin around the eyes. Opt for the products that are soap-free, especially if you have dry and sensitive skin. While consuming skin care products, one shall not only look for products that provide external glow but also nourish your skin.

Amrita Alexander, Founder, Auravedic
As per Amrita Alexander, when finding your skin care products, the basic thing to look for is the ingredient information. Opt for clean ingredients that are free of toxins, parabens and sulphates. Also, this is clear that one size does not fit all. Find the best product that will suit your skin type and address your skin concerns. While there is nothing wrong with OTC skincare products per se, they may not provide targeted solutions.

Achieving a Radiant Complexion: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding Your Skin

Before embarking on your skincare journey, it’s crucial to identify your skin type. Are you dealing with oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin? This knowledge will enable you to select the most suitable products and tailor your routine accordingly.

Nourishing Your Skin from Within

  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
  • Eat a balanced diet: Incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your meals.
  • Limit processed foods: Reduce your intake of sugary and processed snacks.
  • Boost omega-3s: Consume foods like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds for essential fatty acids.

A Daily Skincare Ritual

Morning:

  1. Cleanse: Gently wash your face with a suitable cleanser.
  2. Tone: Apply a toner to balance your skin’s pH.
  3. Serum: Use a serum containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or retinol.
  4. Moisturize: Apply a moisturizer that suits your skin type.
  5. Sunscreen: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Evening:

  1. Remove makeup: Gently remove makeup with a suitable cleanser or makeup remover.
  2. Cleanse: Wash your face thoroughly to remove dirt and impurities.
  3. Exfoliate (2-3 times a week): Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells.
  4. Serum: Apply a serum, potentially different from the morning one.
  5. Night cream: Use a nourishing night cream to replenish your skin while you sleep.

Key Skincare Ingredients

  • Hyaluronic acid: Hydrates and plumps the skin.
  • Vitamin C: Brightens, protects against damage, and promotes collagen production.
  • Retinol: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

The side effects of nighttime smartphone usage

Night Phone Eye Problem

**After-Hours Smartphone Habits: Unveiling the Unseen Consequences**

Engaging with your smartphone at night, especially before retiring to bed, brings forth a host of unforeseen consequences that can impact your health and daily life. In this exploration, we delve into the less obvious side effects:

1. **Sleep Sabotage**: The most prevalent repercussion is the sabotage of your sleep. The blue light emitted by smartphone screens interferes with melatonin production, disrupting your natural sleep-wake cycle and making it challenging to drift into slumber.

2. **Sleep Duration Dwindles**: Late-night phone sessions often lead to extended hours of wakefulness, which directly translates to a shortened total sleep duration. Consistent sleep deprivation can have cascading health implications.

3. **Insidious Insomnia**: Prolonged smartphone use at night can pave the way for insomnia, a condition characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Chronic insomnia can severely affect your overall sleep patterns.

4. **Ocular Fatigue**: Gazing at a brightly lit screen in dim surroundings places undue strain on your eyes. This can manifest as dry eyes, throbbing headaches, and intermittent blurriness.

5. **Circadian Chaos**: The blue light intrusion confuses your body’s internal clock, wreaking havoc on your circadian rhythm. Your ability to sleep and wake at appropriate times is disrupted, leaving you perpetually drained and disoriented.

6. **Heightened Stress and Anxiety**: Late-night phone interactions, particularly when engaging with distressing news or the relentless churn of social media, can elevate stress and anxiety levels. This heightened emotional state is counterproductive for relaxation and sleep.

7. **Diminished Productivity**: Subpar sleep from nighttime phone usage leads to reduced daytime productivity, diminished cognitive function, and concentration difficulties.

8. **Digital Dependency**: Frequent nighttime smartphone checks can foster digital dependency, a compulsive urge to engage with your device even when you don’t want to. This can negatively impact your overall quality of life and interpersonal relationships.

9. **REMitigation Challenge**: Emerging research hints at the disruption of the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase of sleep due to late-night screen exposure. REM sleep is essential for memory consolidation and emotional regulation.

10. **Heightened Health Risks**: The cumulative impact of disrupted sleep, stemming from nighttime phone habits, increases the risk of various chronic health concerns, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular ailments, and mood disorders.

To counteract these repercussions, consider instituting a “digital bedtime ritual” that involves scaling down smartphone usage at least an hour before sleep. Leveraging features such as “night mode” or “blue light filters” on your device can also mitigate the disruptive effects of blue light on your sleep. Establishing a tranquil, screen-free bedtime environment is your key to enhancing sleep quality and overall well-being.
