<p>Over the last few years, awareness about skincare has improved somewhat. We all now know the importance of a good, solid routine for having healthy skin in the long run. But with that, there are also some common mistakes, like using too many harsh products or actives (I&#8217;ve been guilty of this) or just using great products that are all wrong for your skin.</p>



<p>A few weeks ago, I attended the Skin Awareness Month get-together by Galderma (the pharmaceutical company behind Cetaphil &amp; Biluma). There was a panel consisting of dermatologists &amp; creators, where we were educated about skin circadian rhythm, reformulated cetaphil products &amp; more.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/NfVrPkpHD2IfDiXOf80elYi9xjraRWtOg6diTx-ZLV-eMQDLQCsLA7GKwg4k0aD37LJaHVBeCJpynxVXL61DhyV2YT4lOIsIMXD28lc5Y6qsQlV7rta11TXQCSbBr21gcXVSg9-5D1aHRlNUnlYdg8c" alt=""/></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Let&#8217;s talk about Cetaphil</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sXfk9UsxSELGY3LjWacPwuyd2paG8Re0V-pj-SdViM9oLyMbMdhBHKKmqT9tl9GiPWCh54yUKKeYNMZTF7tl6i6htwzdCt0HoGAuJWEy77gMkRdIlkbcHGHKOAykGGiOFSne4uYZFsSCat3ioB9k94Y" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Cetaphil is a globally renowned brand that&#8217;s been around for 75 years! They&#8217;re also the the number 1 Dermatologist prescribed brand in many countries. Their first product, the Gentle Skin Cleanser was formulated by a pharmacist in 1947 &amp; today their range has expanded to include face &amp; body products., baby care as well as sun protection. Their goal remains the same &#8211; to formulate gentle &amp; effective products that strengthen &amp; protect even the most sensitive skin. Cetaphil products now have a new look &amp; an even better formula, they have upgraded their formulation by adding the goodness of Glycerin to&nbsp; improve Hydration, Niacinamide for Brightening and Panthenol for moisturizing effect.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">My Cetaphil Day + Night Routine</h4>



<p>I have sensitive skin with acne issues that leans oily most of the year (but is dryer in winter). I have been on a very simple CTM + sun protection routine.</p>



<p>I cleanse with the <strong>Oily Skin Cleanser</strong> (for Combination to Oily Sensitive skin) which true to it&#8217;s name is gentle &amp; non-stripping; a great product if you have a weakened skin moisture barrier.</p>



<p>Next, I tone with the Brightness Refresh toner, which is Non-Sticky, refreshing after feel &amp; fragrance-free.</p>



<p>For the daytime, I follow up with their <strong>Moisturising Lotion</strong> (for normal to combination sensitive skin) &amp; of course <strong>Cetaphil Sun SFP 50+</strong>, a lightweight gel sunscreen with broad-spectrum UV protection.</p>



<p>For the nighttime, it&#8217;s the same cleanser and toner, but I follow it up with the <strong>Bright Healthy Radiance</strong> night cream which reveals radiant glowing skin, every morning.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s been working very well for my skin &amp; I intend to stick to this for a while.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">All about Skin Circadian Rhythm &amp; Biluma</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/rU11Vpr_0jVeO5uxPO-jOTijfikqVIvUNywWHpv8J0rSoHN_FAnc20WmuMA2-kVphOkbr11_FHiYphk-oZzTmmtMfvG77QzOTK0-f-chY-mMa4YkaCTQfBr1q-lLAL_08E4x4qA0UxDwMeWFk2SWbiY" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Biluma is a brand from Galderma for anyone that wants to maintain healthy &amp; bright skin throughout their lives. It is a premium, science based range &amp; all products are formulated to be used based on our skin circadian rhythm.</p>



<p>Most of us have heard of our circadian rhythm with regards to our sleep patterns but did you know that it also makes a big difference to our skin?</p>



<p>Skin functions such as temperature &amp; pH balance vary a lot depending on the time of day, and Biluma harnesses that knowledge to create products that will work well with your skin&#8217;s natural functions to nourish, brighten, rejuvenate &amp; protect.</p>



<p>The range includes Biluma Advanced Face Wash, Biluma Advanced Day Cream, Biluma Advanced Lotion (to be used on hands and legs) &amp; Biluma Advanced Night Cream.</p>



<p>Another interesting product is the Biluma Advanced Cream for sensitive areas, which is specially formulated to brighten sensitive areas that might have a darker / uneven skin tone such as Underarms, Inner Thighs &amp; Neck. The whole range promises visible results within 21 days.</p>



<p>I&#8217;m quite impressed with the products I&#8217;ve used &amp; I&#8217;ll definitely be exploring more of the range over time.</p>

<p>The skin can go through a lot during the teenage years due to hormonal changes and experience skin issues like acne, pimples, skin discolorations, and oily skin. Teenage years are also the best times to start building a skincare routine to maintain your skin&#8217;s health and prevent accelerated skin aging.</p>



<p><strong>The Face Shop</strong> is one of the Korean skincare brands that cater to the skin of all ages. If you&#8217;re looking for recommendations on products safe for teenage skin, you should look no further.</p>



<p>Here&#8217;s a good list of <a href="https://www.yesstyle.com/en/the-face-shop/list.html/bpt.299_bid.314576">Korean beauty products</a> for teens:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Dr. Belmeur Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser for Acne-Prone Skin</h3>



<p>This mild, hypoallergenic foaming cleanser is ideal for treating acne-prone skin. Its low 6.0 pH level gently cleanses away dirt and impurities that can cause blackhead formation and pimples. Its gel type texture makes it mild enough for sensitive skin and does not contain ingredients that can irritate the skin, unlike most cream type foam cleansers.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Wash your face upon waking up and before bedtime with this foaming cleanser to gently clean away impurities and refresh your skin. It is suitable for daily use.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Dr. Belmeur Amino Bubble Foaming Cleanser</h3>



<p>Formulated with Salicylic Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, and Glycerin, this cleanser provides deep cleansing effects to wash away deep-seated skin impurities. It is ideal for all skin types but especially oily skin, since Salicylic acid helps effectively control excess sebum production. Its refreshing citrus herb scent also reinvigorates your senses.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Dr. Belmeur Amino Clear Cleansing Water</h3>



<p>This <strong>The Face Shop </strong>cleansing water acts as a double cleansing system that removes dirt and makeup while simultaneously exfoliating your skin. Saturate a cotton pad and swipe over your face all over. Rinse off with lukewarm water if necessary. It also comes in a soothing fruity-floral and musk fragrance.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Dr. Belmeur Daily Repair Toner</h3>



<p>This mild toner effectively moisturizes your skin while also cleansing residual skin impurities left after face cleansing. This low-irritant moisturizing toner contains Sage leaf extract, Birch tree extract, and Phytosphingosine to create a moisturizing layer on your skin and calm dry, sensitive skin. Mild and gentle for daily use.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Dr. Belmeur Daily Repair Moisturizing Cream</h3>



<p>Moisturizing creams can be tricky for oily and acne-prone skin because creams often cause pore blockage, further aggravating acne breakouts. It is crucial to select hypoallergenic moisturizing creams for this reason. Dr. Belmeur Daily Repair Moisturizing Cream is safe enough for daily use without causing further skin irritation.</p>



<p>The cream contains Shea Butter extract, Nutmeg Extract, and Sage Leaf extract to deliver moisturization to your skin without excessive oiliness, making it ideal for acne-prone skin. Gently pat on the skin after toning.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">6. Dr. Belmeur Clarifying Toner</h3>



<p>Excessive sebum production causes acne. Applying a toner after cleansing is an excellent method for controlling excess oil. However, many toners are alcohol-based formulas, which is not ideal as alcohol often only produces short-term oil control and can aggravate oily skin.</p>



<p>Dr. Belmeur Clarifying Toner is an alcohol-free toner that helps control excess oil production with irritating acne-prone skin. Added with Beta-glucan, Chaga Mushroom extract, and Blue Citrus Peel extract, it helps refine pores to prevent sebum buildup and minimizes hyperpigmentation and acne scarring.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">7. Dr. Belmeur Clarifying Spot Ampoule</h3>



<p>Acne breakouts often cause skin spots and scarring that dull skin complexion. Targeting these skin issues is essential for undoing skin damage and achieving clear skin. This clarifying ampoule contains Centella Asiatica extract to soothe breakouts and Betaine Salicylate to break up and clear away dead skin cells. It also contains Beta-glucan to balance skin moisture and calm irritated skin.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">8. Dr. Belmeur Vita-Serine Tone Smoothing Serum</h3>



<p>Blended with Serine, Vitamin Complex, and Hyaluronic acid, this triple care serum brightens, evens out skin texture, and moisturizes your skin all in one step. Serine is an amino acid that acts as a mild peeling agent to exfoliate dead skin cells and facilitate skin cell regeneration.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h2>



<p><strong>The Face Shop</strong> Dr. Belmeur skincare line is designed with Skin Sync technology that mimics your skin&#8217;s natural barrier, making it easy for your skin to absorb topical skin nutrients. Only natural ingredients are used, and up to 26 types of allergenic additives are eliminated to ensure minimal skin irritation. This product line is hypoallergenic and dermatologically-tested, which makes this skincare line ideal for teens.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>At the foundation of any good skincare routine is a cleanser. It’s the first step in the process, helping to remove all the dirt and impurities that made their way onto your face during the day. We all know that it’s a daily beauty must. But how much do you know about the cleanser you’re using?&nbsp;</p>



<p>The importance of cleansers is echoed in the myriad of options available on the market. Of course, not all of them are made equal. Depending on the needs of your skin, a certain type of facial cleanser will work well, while others will cause more problems than they’re purported to solve.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Following is a list of 7 types of facial cleansers and some pointers on how to find the best one for your skin.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gel</h2>



<p>As the name suggests, these types of cleansers are clear with a gel-like consistency. They are generally designed for deep cleansing, which makes them suitable for unclogging pores and ridding your skin of excess oil. Their antiseptic and exfoliating properties make gels an effective weapon against acne-causing bacteria.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cream</h2>



<p>These thick, creamy solutions are typically loaded with moisturizing ingredients such as botanical oils. Cream cleaners are gentle, offering a purifying solution that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils. This makes them suitable for dry and sensitive skin types. You might also find them labeled as a ‘lotion’ or ‘milk.’</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Clay</h2>



<p>The main purpose of clay cleansers is to use their strong absorbing power to draw out impurities from your skin. If you have oily or combination skin and are prone to breakouts, then this type of cleanser is worth consideration.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Oil</h2>



<p>It may sound like a recipe for a breakout, but some experts believe that it’s not a bad idea. Oil cleansers are supposed to be a gentle way to get rid of pore-clogging dirt and debris. They are suitable for most skin types and are especially effective at removing waterproof makeup &#8211; all without drying your skin.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Micellar</h2>



<p>This soft liquid contains tiny oil particles known as ‘micelles.’ Their purpose is to absorb oil, dirt, and makeup so that all impurities are taken off your skin. One of the greatest benefits of micellar is that you don’t need to rinse it off like other cleansers. For a more in-depth look, <a href="https://www.herbaldynamicsbeauty.com/blogs/herbal-dynamics-beauty/what-is-micellar-water-and-why-is-it-good-for-your-skin">this post on micellar water</a> has all the information you need.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Powder</h2>



<p>Despite their fairly recent entry into the limelight, powder cleansers are actually nothing new. Starting as a dry and powdery mixture, these cleansers transform into cream-like concoctions with the addition of water. This provides a thorough but gentle cleanse with the benefit of some exfoliation. They’re best suited for oily and sensitive skin types.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Foam</h2>



<p>Foam cleansers often start out more like creams before bursting into a light and bubbly consistency. They are better suited for oily and combination skin types. Foam cleaners work just as well as gels when it comes to removing excess oils.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Choose the Right Type of Cleanser</h2>



<p>First and foremost is your skin type. Is it oily, dry, sensitive, normal or a combination? There are many easy ways to <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/how-to-identify-your-skin-type_l_5cd1d496e4b06c00871a7f2a">determine what kind of skin you have</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For instance, sensitive skin is prone to irritation and easily turns red after shaving or cleansing, while normal skin is characterized by an even tone and the lack of dryness or oil. Knowing that, you can <a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2017/05/151880/best-cleanser-your-skin-type">identify a suitable cleanser</a> depending on whether your skin needs a detox, hydration or balancing out.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It’s as simple as considering the needs of your skin. From there, you can give it what it’s asking for and help your skin look better than ever. x</p>

<p>Been a while since I&#8217;ve written a new post for the blog &amp; it feels great to be back! Today we&#8217;re going to be talking about skincare which is hands down one of my favorite things to buy, use, &amp; write / film about!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1080" height="772" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/dot-key-hydration-2-1080x772.jpg" alt="Dot &amp; Key Hydration Range" class="wp-image-7920" srcset="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/dot-key-hydration-2-1080x772.jpg 1080w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/dot-key-hydration-2-768x549.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></figure>



<p>I was travelling for a bit at the start of the month, which was pretty exciting. But it also meant 10+ hours in flights, &amp; a lot more time spent indoors in temperature controlled (read very cold + very dry) environs, leading to me feeling very dehydrated after.</p>



<p>So this last week has been spent focussing on staying home &amp; getting my hydrations levels back on track, which means a lot of water &amp; good hydrating skincare.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://www.dotandkey.com/">Dot &amp; Key</a></strong> is one of my favorite brands right now &#8211; they&#8217;re homegrown, have a wide range of products for different face + body concerns, good formulations &amp; great prices! I wrote about their <a href="https://magalic.com/2019/09/the-importance-of-using-serums.html">serum lineup</a> a few months ago, &amp; today&#8217;s post is going to be about their hydration range.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.dotandkey.com/dot-key-water-drench-hydrating-serum">Dot &amp; Key Water Drench Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum Concentrate</a></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1080" height="772" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/dot-key-hydration-3-1080x772.jpg" alt="Dot &amp; Key Hydration Range" class="wp-image-7921" srcset="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/dot-key-hydration-3-1080x772.jpg 1080w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/dot-key-hydration-3-768x549.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></figure>



<p>Hyaluronic acid has been everywhere recently &amp; with good reason. It&#8217;s something that&#8217;s naturally present in skin &#8211; it&#8217;s well known for it&#8217;s ability to hold on to a thousand times it&#8217;s weight in water. Using products formulated with it will ensure that your skin stays plump &amp; well hydrated. The entire water drench range has been formulated with Hyaluronic acid, including this serum which I&#8217;ve been using for a while now. If serums aren&#8217;t part of your daily routine, I wrote about <a href="https://magalic.com/2019/09/the-importance-of-using-serums.html">why serums are important</a> already.</p>

<p>A rich eye cream formulated with caffeine and anti oxidants, this is suitable for use during the day or night. This is great for drier skin types &amp; even though I have oilier skin, I go for creams rather than gel for my under eye area. I guess it all boils down to personal preference &#8211; gel or cream, whichever works for you as long as you&#8217;re taking care of your skin!</p>



<p>While maintaining proper hydration is important all year round, it&#8217;s even more imperative during winter months, because even milder winters mean cooler, dry weather which do rob your skin of moisture. Whatever skin type you have, this range will make sure your skin is healthy &amp; happy this winter. x</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Even though I&#8217;ve been blogging for over a decade, it&#8217;s been maybe a year since I got somewhat serious about skincare. And in this time, I&#8217;ve learnt about the importance of a full routine, what ingredients to look for &amp; what to avoid, etc. I regularly share skincare tips &amp; videos on YouTube, I want to take some time to talk about skincare basics here on the blog.</p>



<p>Today&#8217;s post is going to focus on <strong>serums</strong>. What they are, why you should be using them &amp; when you should be using them. I&#8217;m also partnering with skincare brand <strong><a href="https://www.dotandkey.com/">Dot &amp; Key</a></strong> to introduce their newest range of serums to you.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is a Serum? Lets Talk Basics</h2>



<p>A serum is a lightweight skincare product that you use after cleansing, but before moisturising your skin.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>Serums are in some ways quite similar to moisturisers <em>but are definitely not designed to take their place</em>. They are usually formulated without the emollient ingredients in moisturiser, but with a higher concentration of active ingredients.</p></blockquote>



<p>Traditional moisturisers, whether cream or gel based, are primarily designed to keep your skin hydrated. They usually also have active ingredients meant to target your skincare concerns, but may not penetrate your skin as well due to the presence of the emollient ingredients. These are usually thicker / heavier as they are meant to provide &amp; lock in moisture, but can sometimes block the more active ingredients from working effectively.</p>



<p>Serums are lightweight &amp; there&#8217;s one for every concern you might face. Their exact function varies based on the ingredients used (we&#8217;ll get into that soon) but the mainly serums work to delivered super powered doses of active ingredients deep into your skin without being heavy, so the ingredients have a better chance of showing results. </p>



<p>It&#8217;s part the reasons serums can be a pricier product as well. But that doesn&#8217;t mean there aren&#8217;t affordable options too that are very effective.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Have you heard of Dot &amp; Key?</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="1500" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/dotkey.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-7890"/></figure>



<p>Dot &amp; Key is a young Indian brand that promises a fresh take on skincare. Based out of Kolkata, they have products for your face and body, often for things that are otherwise overlooked.</p>



<p>Their formulations are a blend of the best that nature &amp; science have to offer, their products are dermatologically tested &amp; cruelty free to boot.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Serums from Dot &amp; Key</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="1500" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/dotkey-1-1.gif" alt="Dot &amp; Key Serums" class="wp-image-7896"/></figure>



<p>Dot &amp; Key recently expanded their <a href="https://www.dotandkey.com/face-care">serum lineup</a> with four new additions. When they reached out about a potential partnership, I really wanted to thoroughly test their serums before talking about them.</p>



<p>I&#8217;ve had these for over two months now &amp; have been incorporating them into my daily skincare routine. Here&#8217;s a closer look at my three favorites!</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.dotandkey.com/dot-key-water-drench-hydrating-serum">Dot &amp; Key Water Drench Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum Concentrate</a> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f4a7.png" alt="💧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></h4>



<p>Enriched with Açai Berry &amp; Bulgarian Rose, this serum promises to boost moisture &amp; fight free radicals. Hyaluronic Acid is well known for it&#8217;s ability to retain moisture, which will prevent dehydration &amp; keep your skin supple &amp; bouncy.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.dotandkey.com/dot-key-skin-clarifying-zit-zap">Dot &amp; Key Zit Zapping Skin Clarifying Face Serum</a> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f331.png" alt="🌱" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></h4>



<p>Formulated with Tea Tree &amp; Clary Sage Oil, this serum contains Salicylic Acid actives that help fight acne causing bacteria to prevent breakouts &amp; pimples as well as speed up the post breakout healing process.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.dotandkey.com/dot-key-vitamin-c-serum-concentrate">Dot &amp; Key Glow Revealing Vitamin C Serum Concentrate</a> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f352.png" alt="🍒" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></h4>



<p>The finally serum I tried, this contains extracts of Kakadu Plum &amp; Acerola Cherry. Vitamin C is a powerful ingredient that can deliver a whole bouquet of benefits to your skin like correcting dullness, dark spots &amp; premature ageing. One noticeable difference I experienced was that it really sped up the fading of my acne scars.</p>



<p>They also have a fourth new serum, the <a href="https://www.dotandkey.com/dot-key-time-reversal-retinol-serum">Dot &amp; Key Collagen Restorative Time Reverse Retinol Serum</a>. Retinol as an ingredient has been getting a lot of buzz for it&#8217;s delaying the traditional signs of ageing, this is definitely something you can look into if you&#8217;re in your late twenties or older.</p>



<p>All of the serums are to be used twice a day, they&#8217;re super lightweight and absorb into the skin easily without leaving an residue / texture or pilling &amp; they are also great under makeup. And now to address one of the more important questions about serums.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do You Need a Serum In Your Life?</h2>



<p>No you don&#8217;t. If you are someone who like to keep your skincare routine extremely functional, a face wash &amp; moisturiser should suffice. But if you want to take better care of your skin &amp; really target any issues you might be facing, I&#8217;d definitely recommend incorporating a serum into your routine right away. x</p>

<p>Long hair has always been the symbol of natural woman’s beauty and attractiveness. No matter how the fashion changes or what kind of hairstyle is of the rage, long hair can spoil nothing. One is least likely to find a girl whose long hair does not go well with her face and figure. Long hair can be fitted into any style and image. The only drawback is the need to be cared about all year round. There are few women who crave for short hairstyle; in most cases it is just a kind of compromise, when a person failed to grow the hair or to take care of it in such a way that it looked shiny, smooth, thick and silky. Almost every woman has given it a try to let hair grow long and healthy and looked for universal recipe. But here a versatile approach is required, as the hair needs inner and outer cure and the reduction of negative effects.</p>



<p>It can be quite frustrating to wait endlessly for the hair to grow. Suggestions for speeding up the growth are great in number, but the easiest point to start is the diet &#8212; a few simple adjustments could make a real difference. Of course, how fast the hair grows depends on a great variety of factors such as age, health, genetics and so on, and some of them go beyond people’s power, but many are subjected to changes. I rank the inner stimulation and recovery supreme, as I am completely with the opinion that “We are what we eat”. The expression is applied to any sphere: health, figure, complexion, hair and nails, mood and behavior. Eating habits is one of the things a person has control over and it is an absolutely no-go decision to ignore such an opportunity to promote the hair growth.</p>



<p>There are dishes and ingredients that proved to maintain the hair growth, prevent its loss and in general have a positive impact on all the cells of the body. For example, spinach is a healthy green vegetable, loaded with beneficial nutrients such as folate, iron, vitamins A and C. Vitamin A helps the skin glands produce sebum, which in its turn moisturizes the scalp to keep hair healthy. Eating spinach may also benefit eye health, reduce oxidative stress, help prevent cancer, and reduce blood pressure levels. If you go vegetarian, a <a href="https://club.cooking/recipe/strawberry-spinach-salad/">Spinach Salad</a> is a sure version of a lunch or a side dish. This summer delight with strawberries will cover all your requirements</p>



<p>for a tasty dish with health benefits. Also, oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. They&#8217;re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Studies show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, a reduced risk of heart disease, smoothening of skin and hair. If you happen to have a sweet tooth, you are free to incorporate oats in your diet in the way of <a href="https://club.cooking/recipe/vegan-oatmeal-cookies/">Vegan Oatmeal Cookies</a>, made with butter and a splash of soy milk. You may enjoy them absolutely guilt free as they are wholesome and healthy, but with zero sacrifices in the flavor or texture department. The other cookies, from which you can benefit a lot in the way of taste and health promoting effects, are <a href="https://club.cooking/recipe/coconut-cookies/">Coconut Cookies</a>. Coconuts are used in everything from our daily cuisine to our beauty regimens. Coconuts are highly nutritious, rich in fiber, and packed with essential vitamins and minerals. From culinary creations to magic beauty potions, coconuts pack a good punch.</p>



<p>To experience a full range of hair caring procedures try to fit some simple tips into your daily routine and you will not recognize yourself in the mirror. Avoid shampooing every day. Unless your hair is really oily, shampooing daily can dry it out and damage. Washing your hair every other day allows your body’s natural oils to condition your hair. You may also consider using a scalp treatment to help keep your hair follicles clean. This may also help keep your hair healthy. Then rinse your hair with cool water. After you rinse the shampoo and conditioner out, wash your clean hair under cool water. It ensures that the hair follicle is tight and reduces the amount of hair that is lost after a shower. The most widespread tip is to minimize heat and color. Using heat or hair color damages the hair over time. Try to reduce the amount of heat by letting your hair air dry when possible. Stretch out the amount of time between coloring and use color safe shampoo to minimize hair dying damage. Get your hair trimmed regularly. It will help your hair from breaking off and this will result in your hair growing faster. With time, the strands of hair will begin to split at the ends. These split ends tangle and are more likely to be pulled out when brushed. Keeping your hair trimmed will minimize split ends. x</p>

<p>With any skin care product you use, you want the components to be fresh and active. When you use products that are not created with quality components, such as more actives and less chemicals, your skin will benefit. So, what type of products offer freshness and essential components for beautiful skin? It can be difficult to know just what to buy to improve your skin but items like the <a href="https://www.timelessha.com/products/matrixyl-3000-serum-1-oz">best matrixyl serum</a> and <a href="https://www.timelessha.com/products/20-vitamin-c-e-ferulic-acid-serum-1-oz">Ferulic Acid</a> can help. Learn more about these products and their application below.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Matrixyl</h3>



<p>The Timeless matrixyl 3000 serum is a fresh option to skin care that provides water, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and other quality ingredients to your facial regimen. The product contains matrikines which is an anti-wrinkle fighter with the ability to reverse signs of aging within your skin.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The product is natural and paraben free, with more actives inside instead of harmful chemicals. By adding this product to your skin care plan, you are using fresh ingredients and quality components to create healthier skin.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ferulic Acid</h3>



<p>When it comes to beauty products, some components are added for what they can contribute to your skin while others are used to help the product be more effective and extend the life of the components inside. Take ferulic acid for example. In the Timeless Vitamin C serum, this component helps to keep the vitamin c fresh and functioning.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ferulic acid along with vitamin e will help to extend the life of vitamin c as well as help the vitamin to remain effective. Because of these extra components, the vitamin c product will be able to continue to even out skin tone and provide other benefits, remaining fresh and effective for a three-month time frame, allowing you to save money on your beauty products and see quality results.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Getting the Most from Your Products</h3>



<p>When using the matrixyl and ferulic acid products, you want to get the most from the fresh ingredients used. So how do you do this? What will help to stretch the effectiveness of the products even further? Simply put, a <a href="https://www.timelessha.com/products/192-micro-needle-dermaroller">Dermaroller</a>. Many people have not heard of this fantastic tool and how it can be used to upgrade the way your products are used on the skin.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A dermaroller is a small tool that has a roller on the end with tiny needles. You will roll the end with the needles over your skin lightly to create tiny channels within your skin. Once you have used the roller, the serums you have within your beauty regimen will need to be applied. The channels in the skin help to see that the serums you use will effectively penetrate the skin.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A micro dermaroller is an option that works well to help reduce fine lines on the face as well as help with wrinkles and acne scars. As the dermaroller is used, the tiny channels are activated to heal. When you apply a product, it seeps into the skin as the channels heal. This helps the skin to truly benefit from the serum application.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As you can see, fresh ingredients are key to the application and long life of your beauty products. Look for products such as those provided by Timeless that offer fresh ingredients and components that extend the life of your products. <br></p>

<p>Everyone is different, and when it comes to choosing a blowout brush it&#8217;s important to pick up the one that&#8217;s right for your type of hair. There are a lot of different types of brushes out there and it&#8217;s certainly overwhelming when it comes to picking the right one when <a href="https://ikinaki.com/">real reviews</a> are hard to find.<br></p>



<p>We are going to help you identify what is the right brush for your specific hair type.<br></p>



<p>Dry or damaged hair has to be treated cautiously. The rough, porous texture needs to be treated delicately with the right brush. In this instance, look for a brush with rubber tipped bristles. With these types of bristles, any tangled hair can be smoothed out without having to be pulled or tugged too aggressively. <br></p>



<p>If your hair is lacking moisture and its sheen is reduced, making it appear frizzy and dull this likely means you have dry hair. Nevertheless, there is some hope here if you do use the right brush. Boar bristle brushes assist in uniformly distributing the natural oils from your scalp completely through your hair. This will help your hair in retaining some moisture and give it that added natural shine.<br></p>



<p>Oily hair tends to lack volume, remain flat and often stay greasy even after shampooing. In order to avoid this, just like for dry hair, you can use a boar bristle brush. Here, the bristles also help in the even redistribution of natural oils, allowing no collection on the roots. Specifically, it targets your scalp and denies any sort of build-up which results in happier, cleaner &#8211; feeling hair.<br></p>



<p>When it comes to fine hair, a ceramic barrel brush aids by maintaining even heat distribution. This allows hair damage to be kept to a minimum and that certain parts of your hair are not heated up more than others. This type of hair can also be prone to breakage and brushes with natural bristles should be considered. This will help in gently detangling your hair. Another advantage is that natural or mixed bristles will provide the best grip on your hair which allows everything to stay in place during a blowout.<br></p>



<p>For those of you with long hair, traditionally, the round brush has staked its claim as being the best tool for a blowout. Round brushes are available with different sizes of barrels. The rule here is, the longer the hair, the bigger the barrel of your brush needs to be. The bigger barrel aids in glamorously volumising hair. A brush that does not have a big enough barrel could end up just curling your hair tips and not achieve the desired fullness that you are looking for.<br></p>



<p>If you have short hair, it can be important to create volume and sleekness but this must be achieved without curling the hair too much. So, for a short hair blowout, be on the lookout for a brush that has a narrower barrel and wider teeth to achieve your desired look.<br></p>



<p>Keep in mind your hair type and length when you select a blowout hairbrush to get the best look.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The international trade show for beauty made their entry into India.</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-1.jpg" alt="Cosmoprof India" class="wp-image-7517" width="346" height="460" srcset="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-1.jpg 3024w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-1-1080x1440.jpg 1080w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-1-768x1024.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px" /></figure></div>



<p>Nine years ago, I started writing about beauty as a new &amp; eager consumer.</p>



<p>Though it&#8217;s been almost a decade since, it&#8217;s still one of my favorite topics to review &amp; write about. The beauty space in India might have started small, but it&#8217;s expanding at such a quick pace &amp; global brands are definitely taking notice.</p>



<p>Bologna Fiere, one of the leading International exhibition organizer and UBM India, India’s leading  B2B exhibitions organizer recently joined hands  to launch COSMOPROF INDIA, the new event for the International beauty community. It happened on 10 and 11 September 2018 at the Sahara Star Hotel, Mumbai. As a beauty influencer, Cosmoprof invited me to witness the event first hand; it was quite enlightening to see the beauty industry from a whole new perspective.</p>



<p><span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow: hidden; line-height: 0px;"></span>As this was Cosmoprof&#8217;s first foray into India (they hold regular trade shows in Bologna, Las Vegas and Hong Kong), it was a <em><strong>preview event</strong></em> not only for the entire Indian beauty business community, but for the international beauty industry as well.</p>



<p>In addition to the expo the show they also held ‘Cosmotalks’ — a series of seminars &amp; demos focusing on key issues of the beauty sector by renowned industry players. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beauty Finds at Cosmoprof</h3>



<p>Along with suppliers, &amp; manufacturers, a lot of beauty brands exhibited at Cosmoprof India &#8211; both Indian &amp; International. I got to try international brands (like multiple K-Beauty brands, there was a whole block!) that aren&#8217;t officially available here but hopefully will be soon.</p>



<p>Among Indian brands, along with the familiar faces (many of which I&#8217;ve already covered on this blog), I also found some new ones, sharing a few of the most interesting brands below.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-7.jpg" alt="Cosmoprof India" class="wp-image-7523" width="312" height="430" srcset="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-7.jpg 1926w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-7-1080x1488.jpg 1080w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-7-768x1058.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px" /></figure></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-6.jpg" alt="Cosmoprof India" class="wp-image-7522" width="308" height="430" srcset="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-6.jpg 2643w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-6-1080x1512.jpg 1080w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-6-768x1075.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px" /></figure></div>



<p>I was attracted to the COLAB dry shampoo display because of the fun, colorful variants, but only later after I went online did I discover that it&#8217;s a bit of a cult product!&amp; turns out it&#8217;a a bit of a cult product. Other than the cute packaging &amp; fragrances, COLAB seems to be one of the only invisible dry shampoos out there that doesn&#8217;t leave that pesky white residue. It&#8217;s now <a href="http://geni.us/colabdsin">available online in India</a>.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-9.jpg" alt="Cosmoprof India" class="wp-image-7525" width="318" height="423" srcset="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-9.jpg 2642w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-9-1080x1441.jpg 1080w, https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-9-768x1025.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px" /></figure></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://magalic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cosmoprof-india-8.jpg" alt="Cosmoprof India" class="wp-image-7524" width="304" height="423"/></figure></div>



<p>The bright neon &amp; marquee lights drove me to visit Bollyglow cosmetics, a very new cosmetics brand that was just days old in the Indian market. They have a variety of fun lip products, lashes &amp; sheet masks sourced from around the world, just for Indian skin. They&#8217;re also <a href="https://clnk.in/go1A">available online</a> (I&#8217;d recommend checking out the fun desi names their lashes have).</p>



<p>I recently did an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bobw9LVHPFB/?taken-by=magali_c"><em><strong>insta review</strong></em></a> of their <a href="https://clnk.in/go1K">bronze metallic liquid lipstick</a> &amp; I&#8217;ll be trying out more Bollyglow soon&#8230;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cosmoprof 2019</h2>



<p>Cosmoprof India will be back! It&#8217;ll happen from 12-14 June at the Bombay Convention &amp; Exhibition Center (a new, bigger venue) &#8211; more details on their <strong><a href="https://www.cosmoprofindia.com/en">website</a>!</strong> x</p>
