SAFEGUARDING AGAINST TRANSITIONS

Seasonal change could bring an onslaught of problems for some. Here are some tricks to maintain overall good health during such transition.

With the slightest dip in temperature, we tend to believe that the sun has lost its previous severity. In such moments, we often forget to take the same precautionary measures as before. This slip in our routines paves way for problems like sun tan, discolouration and skin irritation. Read on to know some tips to resolve this recurring issue.

Sun is always there

Have you heard the saying, “Even on a cloudy day, the sun is shining somewhere”? Apart from being a great motivational quote, it also serves a wonderful purpose of reminding us that the sun is always present. Change in seasons cannot be an excuse to give up on our sunscreens! Always protect your skin before stepping out of the house. If you don’t like the idea of exposing your skin to chemicals, then invest in natural or ayurvedic products instead. One product that catches our interest is the Badgers All Natural Sunscreen. It utilizes organic ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, beeswax, jojoba oil and rosemary extracts to keep your skin protected at all times. Another one that you can try is Kama Ayurveda Natural Sun Protection with SPF 21.

Gentle Care

The time between seasons is one of the most vulnerable phases for our body. Thus, it becomes extremely important to not only take extra care of our health but also keep our skin super clean. Any changes in weather or lifestyle can have subsequent effects on our skin, which in turn can become irritable. To prevent such a problem, pick a gentle and nourishing face wash or cleanser, which cleans the skin without harshly stripping away the essential oils from your face. You can try Jhelum Loves Honeytrap Face wash, Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser and Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser.

Pamper away

If you are already facing the effects of transition, then it’s the time to remain calm and indulge your skin a little. Nobody is stopping you from giving yourself a facial at home every other week. Just like our toned bodies require some work, our skin also needs some regular pampering to be healthy. You can try at home kits like Lakme Absolute Perfect Radiance Kit, VLCC Anti-Tan Facial Kit or Biotique Diamond Facial Kit. Additionally, if you haven’t already incorporated a serum in your skin care regime then now is the best time to do so. We recommend Clarins Double Serum, Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum and L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Intensive Repair Essence.

Hydration alert

We all have heard that water is the elixir of life. But its high time that you start believing in the miraculous properties of this liquid as well. Drinking the right amount of water will make your skin look vibrant and keep acne at bay! Moreover, it is essential to choose products that hydrate our skin externally. Even on days when the skin feels oily, applying moisturiser is important. Diligently use your day and night cream and don’t let serum be your excuse for skipping this ritual. If your moisturiser makes your skin look greasy then it is time to change it! Go for a water or gel based product like Neutrogena Oil Free with SPF-15, Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel or Kaya Ultra Light Aquagel Suncscreen SPF 25 for best results.
