From Home Remedies to Hair Removal Techniques- Checkout these Skincare Tips
Battling these tumultuous lockdown blues can be stressful enough. Maintaining your skin at home sans professional support shouldn’t be another worry on your list.
Use Moisturizers
We all know how imperative it is to wash our hands, especially now to keep the virus at bay. But, this diligent washing is also leading to extreme dry hands. You can prevent these cracks or chapping on your hands by following a proper skincare routine during times like these. Use cool water for every wash, pat your hands dry with a towel, and moisturise with a hand cream or a moisturiser. At night, you can also try slathering your hand with a thick moisturiser and covering them with cotton gloves to increase absorption .
For your Hair
The ideal hair care routine doesn’t just require oiling, hair wash, and conditioning. Shampoo your scalp and condition your hair 2-3 times a week. Comb your conditioner through and after your shower, apply your choice of serum. Always pat dry with a micro-fibre towel, or a plain cotton T-shirt. This prevents hair breakage. You can also deep condition your hair once a week to keep the frizz at bay and strengthen your hair follicles. Oil your hair once a week, but avoid keeping the oil on for longer than a few hours.
Feet Attention
Foot care is often neglected. But when you’ve been at home for an extended period of time, it’s the perfect opportunity to lavish some care and attention to your feet. Here are some beauty tips that you can try at home.
- Soak and wash your feet thoroughly, with soap and water, and use a brush around your toes.
- Smooth out damp heels or calluses with a pumice stone or foot file.
- Trim your toenails and file the edges.
- Moisturize your feet with your favorite cream – preferably at night when you’re in bed.
- Wear socks to protect your newly moisturized feet against dust and dirt.
Repair Your Skin
Taking care of your skin begins at home. You don’t need a beauty parlour or shelves full of products. Remember that a lot of your skin health is genetic. But that doesn’t mean you can’t help it a little bit. Follow these lockdown beauty tips for better skincare:
- Follow a proper cleansing routine even if you’re at home all day. Cleanse once in the morning and once at night. If you’re wearing sunscreen (which you should be), double cleanse in the evening (with two cleansers or use your favourite one twice) to make sure you get rid of every layer on your face.
- Hydrate your skin regularly. If your face feels tight immediately after a shower, it means your skin is dehydrated. It’s not solved with a moisturiser (that adds a layer to seal in the goodies on your skin and doesn’t penetrate enough to hydrate). Instead, make sure you drink at least two litres of water a day. If you have any skincare with hyaluronic acid as one of the ingredients, use them lavishly. A spritz of cooling face mist also helps.
- Be intuitive about your skin—not everyone needs a detailed skincare routine. And your routine need not look the same every day. Your skin might need a moisturiser on some nights and some nights you might feel you don’t need anything on your face at all.
- Face masks are a great indulgence – and they force you to take 15 minutes from your day to relax. Remember that not ALL natural ingredients are safe for you just because they are natural. Stick to combinations and products that you have tried before. This is not the time to experiment since you won’t be able to rush to your doctor if your skin suddenly breaks out.
- Sunscreen is imperative—it’s proven to be the most effective protection against the sun to prevent spots, pigmentation and wrinkles. Not to mention, skin cancer. If you’re indoors all day, the sun’s ultraviolet rays still come in through the windows. Pick a sunscreen that has both UVA and UVB protection.
A Beard-ed Attention
For bearded men, social isolation might look like an enforced choice between staying clean-shaven or adopting a hobo look. Thankfully, we are here to tell you that good beard maintenance is perfectly possible at home when you know what to do. Wash your beard at least 2-3 times a week with a natural shampoo, condition with a moisturizer or beard oil and regularly trim uneven patches, split or loose ends.
Au Revoir Puffy Eyes
If you suffer from mild dark circles or puffy eyes, put thin slices of cucumber under your eyes. Green tea bags can also be used for the same as they both help in detoxification naturally.
Lip Care Is Crucial
Moisturise your lips using a good quality paraffin balm or petroleum jelly before and after using a surgical face mask. Why? Continuous use of face masks can lead to an increased risk of bacterial infections. Lip care prevents your lips from drying and cracking in the process.

Step by step Skin Prep for All Bride To Be
Congratulations, bride-to-be! As you prepare for your big day, glowing skin is undoubtedly at the top of your wish list. Your wedding day is a celebration of love and commitment, and feeling confident in your own skin is essential. To help you achieve that coveted bridal glow, we’ve curated a comprehensive step-by-step skin prep guide just for you.
Start Early with a Consistent Skincare Routine
Begin your bridal skincare journey well in advance to allow your skin ample time to adjust and improve. Establish a daily skincare routine tailored to your skin type and concerns. This should include cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sunscreen application. Consider incorporating serums or treatments targeting specific issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or dryness.
Address Specific Skin Concerns
Identify any specific skin concerns you want to address before your wedding day. Whether it’s acne breakouts, uneven skin tone, or dullness, consult with a dermatologist or esthetician to develop a targeted treatment plan. This may involve professional facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments to enhance your skin’s appearance and texture.
Hydration is Key
Hydrated skin is happy skin, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain optimal hydration levels. Additionally, incorporate hydrating skincare products such as hyaluronic acid serums or moisturizing masks to replenish moisture and plump up your skin.
Exfoliate Regularly
Regular exfoliation is essential for sloughing off dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin. Choose a gentle exfoliator suitable for your skin type and use it 2-3 times a week to reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath.
Don’t Forget About Your Lips
Soft, smooth lips are a must-have for any bride. Incorporate a lip scrub into your skincare routine to buff away dry, flaky skin, followed by a nourishing lip balm to keep your lips hydrated and kissable soft.
Prioritize Stress Management and Self-Care
Wedding planning can be stressful, but don’t let it take a toll on your skin. Practice stress-relieving activities such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to keep your mind and body in balance. Remember to prioritize self-care and make time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation.
Get Sufficient Beauty Sleep
Quality sleep is crucial for healthy, radiant skin. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to allow your skin to repair and regenerate. Invest in a silk pillowcase to minimize friction and prevent creases and wrinkles while you sleep.
By following this step-by-step skin prep guide, you’ll be well on your way to achieving a radiant bridal glow that will leave you feeling confident and beautiful on your wedding day. Remember to start early, be consistent with your skincare routine, and prioritize self-care throughout the process. With a little dedication and effort, you’ll be glowing from the inside out as you walk down the aisle to say “I do.”

Kiara Advani’s Soft Glam Makeup Look
Kiara Advani is proof that a look may be beautiful without always requiring intense contouring and layers of makeup.

Lekha Gupta, her makeup artist, created the ideal mix between a clean, glowing complexion and a subtle brown smoky eye. Whether it’s for her big day or multiple red carpet appearances, the actor has a reputation for doing minimalist makeup flawlessly.
Kiara Advani, wearing a body-hugging pink gown by Tran Hung, was spotted having a pink moment that was enhanced by her bold beauty appearance. Her face was defined by the delicately bronzed cheeks, her glossy nude lips completed the ensemble, and her gently smudged out makeup accentuated the shape of her eyes.

The IT Girl Hair Colour for 2024
January is over halfway through, so now is the ideal time to schedule a hair appointment and treat yourself to a much-needed makeover. It’s time to give your desire for a fresh appearance some action, starting with a chic hair colour makeover. Your distinctive personality is reflected in your mane of hair, which changes colour and shape to mirror the range of emotions you experience during your life. Thus, wear your hair the way you prefer it since, in 2024, it will make a statement and the revolution will be colourful, daring, and wholly original! Are you looking for new and inspiring ideas? Fear not—we’ve got you covered.
In contrast to 2023, which focused mostly on adding warmth to varied hues, 2024 will be all about subtly updating those in-vogue colors that are already well-known to us. We’re still living in the past and trying to figure out how to style those early aughts beauty trends in a more contemporary manner. Additionally, we’ll keep seeing fresh takes on red hair, which this year proved to be the “it” colour. There’s a shade of red that works for everyone, whether you want to use lowlights to draw attention to certain areas or not.
Red hair was trendy in 2023, as seen on Emily Ratajkowski, Dua Lipa, Megan Fox, and many more of our favorite celebrities. Red hair can be really entertaining, depending on your skin tone and eye colour. You can choose between a bold red like Lipa and a more subdued, natural auburn like Meghan Fahy. Whichever shade of red suits you best, aftercare is crucial. Use a shampoo and conditioner with Color Care to prevent color fading.
Rich bordeaux, a gorgeous blend of brown oak and burgundy-red, is the ideal option for giving dark hair a dash of refinement and coziness. It appears that this is the color of the season for everyone from Dua Lipa to Ira Khan.
Copper, a color that isn’t typically considered red. A shiny, intensely contrasting auburn that strikes a balance between deep red and brown could be the hairstyle of 2024. This tint has great appeal for both Bella Thorne and Kendall Jenner, she declared herself a certified redhead when she wore it.
There will be more to red hair than a fashion statement in 2024. Since red is the undisputed color for IT girls in 2024, there is a red for every girl out there, regardless of shade.
