Best defense against oily skin

Oily skin isn't something you can fix—it's just something you have to manage. And rather than stripping oily skin entirely or using a super lightweight lotion, turns out the best way to moisturize oily skin is with face oil. The key is to find the oil that suits your own skin type or complexion issues. For example, grapeseed oil is lightweight and full of antioxidants, making it ideal for pre-sunscreen hydration. Other oils, like tea tree, can actually fight sebum buildup, bacteria, and inflammation. Some oils even have acne-fighting properties, like Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil ($80, sephora.com), which has earned a permanent spot in my medicine cabinet.

1. Don't ever leave home without a Beautyblender.
This must-know tip relates to your grubby hands, too. Remember how I told you to not touch your face? Same goes for when you apply makeup and skin-care, which I know seems like a lot of work. All you need is one magical tool: the Beautyblender. The OG miracle pink sponge seamlessly blends face creams, foundations, eyeshadows, blush—pretty much any thing you can think of. The key is to dampen the sponge prior to use, but bonus points if you use something soothing, like anti-inflammatory rose water. I keep both a Beautyblender ($20, beautyblender.com) and Glossier Soothing Face Mist ($18, glossier.com) with me at all times for that specific purpose.

2. Coat your hair in conditioner before a swim at the beach or the pool.
If you've ever gone to a public pool, chances are you may have been asked to hop under the showerhead first, to rinse off any excess dirt. While you're there, give strands a fighting chance against damaging chlorine or saltwater by coating them with a sulfate-free deep conditioner, like L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm ($5.99, target.com). The conditioner helps to fill holes (read: damage) in the hair cuticle, preventing any further breakage from forming.

3. Purple shampoo saves blonde lives.
As a lifelong blonde with only a brief flirtation with the relative dark side (a dark, dark dirty blonde), there's been nothing more helpful than maintaining my bright blonde and avoiding orange brassiness than a high-quality purple shampoo. If you wanna splurge, Oribe Bright Blonde Shampoo ($46, oribe.com) is literally the greatest smelling shampoo on earth, but you can get the same effect for a fraction of the cost with Clairol Shimmer Lights ($8, sallybeauty.com). Purple shampoo neutralizes orange deposits, helping eliminate brassiness or that bad-dye-job look.

4. Wiggle your mascara wand horizontally through your lashes to create definition and separation.
While this may seem counterintuitive if you're looking to lengthen your lashes, the only way you're gonna really get clump-free coatings is with this badass makeup-artist trick. I'm pretty sure I learned this in one of my very first interviews, but it's the only way I'll actually wear mascara now. By simply wiggling the wand back and forth, slowly working your way up, your eyelashes get coated with just enough formula to define, lengthen, and volumize without it looking like you're an extra from the new Spiderman.

5. A few drops of essential oil on the shower floor—plus a few minutes to let the steam really develop—makes for a spa-like experience.
This is probably my oldest trick in the book. Thank you, Lisa Hoffman (yes, the wife of Dustin!), for this wonderful tip, which I regularly use to this day. Because I'm all about that #selfcare life, I like to make my showers as experiential as possible. Sometimes I'll do a specific shower meditation or smudge the bathroom in sage to get rid of negative energies before hopping in, but the one consistent is that I'll always let the shower run for a few minutes after I've dropped a bit of whatever essential oil I'm feeling that day to create a spa-like steam shower. When I'm half asleep, I'll reach for an energizing oil or two, like lemongrass or eucalyptus, but if I'm about to hit the pillow, I'll usually do something more meditative and calming, like lavender or frankincense. Regardless of the oil you choose, take a few deep breaths, use caution to avoid slipping, and chill the hell out.

6. Go for a microfiber hair towel—and never flip your head over post-shower.
Guilty as charged. For most of my life, after showering I'd flip my head over, shake out some excess water, and tie it up with a terrycloth towel. This routine no doubt contributed to all the aforementioned hair damage. But once I discovered the slew of towels designed for hair specifically, like the Aquis Lisse Luxe Long Hair Towel ($35, aquis.com), I realized how much LESS damage I would cause if I didn't flip or overly twist fragile, wet strands. Instead, these towels gently sop up excess moisture after I carefully blot a freshly washed head of hair before applying a styling product.

7. Lip balm is the most versatile product you can have on you.
You can moisturize cuticles, fix frizzy spots or cowlicks, or add a bit of glossiness to your eyelids. I only say this because I tried it all in a moment of desperation long before I even knew you could be a beauty editor for a LIVING. As a sophomore in high school I wasn't exactly toting around my now-impeccably curated on-the-go beauty bag, complete with a teensy flatiron and product minis. So when pieces of hair stuck out, I turned to my little tube of Aquaphor ($4, target.com). Even if I was a bit too heavy handed when I was younger, I was able to tuck away my edges that made me self conscious. I also discovered, a bit later in life, that my hero tube is equally as effective to use on my lids and lashes in a pinch, giving me that dewy, I'm-made-up-but-not look that I love so much.

8. Don't ever skip that post-workout shower.
Body acne is real. The easiest way to wind up with a few whiteheads on your chest or a cystic zit on your upper back is to not shower after a workout. One dermatologist swore to me that using a body-cleansing wipe, like Yuni Shower Sheets ($15, yunibeauty.com), is a great stop-gap, but if you've still got your sweaty clothes on it's kind of a moot move. The best thing you can do is actually shower, obviously—but if not, grab a cleansing wipe or two plus a fresh set of dry clothes to keep skin blemish-free.

9. SPF is the best anti-aging tool you can own.
I could wax poetic about how important it is to slather on sunscreen before you step outside even on the cloudiest of days. By protecting skin from UVA and UVB rays, a broad-spectrum sunscreen protects skin from wrinkles and dark age spots (not to mention skin cancer). And if you're worried about SPF breaking you out, just make sure to look for a face-specific SPF that has a "non-comedogenic" label on the tube, which means it won't clog your pores. I'm really into Pacifica Mineral Face Shade Coconut Probiotic SPF 30 ($13, target.com), which is vegan and cruelty-free, too.

10.Love dry shampoo? You'll love it even more if you use it before you hit the pillow.
A good spritz of dry shampoo can work wonders to help you stretch out your last hair washing, but I've found a genius way to do more than your average emergency oil mop-up before heading to work. I've found it to be FAR more effective if I work in some dry shampoo, like Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo ($24, sephora.com), and tie my hair up in a loose bun before hitting the sack. It really gives the dry shampoo time to work its magic—absorbing the oils in my scalp, giving my thin hair a bit of volume—and also avoids the dreaded powdered part that's the dead giveaway you haven't washed your hair in a while.

The 9 Best Beauty Tricks

1. Keep your eye cream and nail polish in the fridge.
The reason some eye creams are sold in tubes with metal tips is that the metal helps deflate puffy areas by cooling the skin, which theoretically constricts blood vessels. But you can get the same exact effect by just stashing any old eye cream in the refrigerator. During the summer, I do this with my can't-live-without-it Yes To Coconuts Ultra Hydrating Overnight Eye Balm ($16, ulta.com), but it works with any formula. The fridge is also a great place to stash nail polish, as it keeps it from thickening over time.

2. Always layer your skin-care products from thinnest to thickest texture.
If you think about your skin as if it were a sponge, you want it to soak up all the good stuff you're applying to your face and body. Therefore, it's important to layer properly. Use the thinner, more watery products first in your skin routine and finish with the heaviest creams or oils. Oils help seal in any products applied prior. So if you're starting with an oil and then adding a lighter hyaluronic acid serum on top, you're not going to see those amazing HA benefits.

3. You can curl your entire head with an iron in under two minutes flat.
This is the one trick that has saved me the most time over the years. Splitting my hair into one-inch sections and then rolling over each with the curling iron used to take me 30 minutes, but I have cut styling time to a mere two minutes with this hack I learned from Pinterest. After blow-drying hair straight or letting it air-dry, throw it into a high ponytail atop your head and split into four even sections. Roll the wand around each, set with some texturizing spray, then shake out after hair is cool—like after your morning commute. I like an easy-to-use curler like the Eva NYC 25mm Tourmaline Clipless Curling Wand ($60, target.com).

4. Never underestimate the power of a bold lipstick.
I can't tell you how many makeup artists have told me lipstick would be their "desert island" beauty product pick. Before I began my career, I was a mascara diehard. Now, not so much. Turns out a lipstick, especially something bold (I love a hot magenta or coral in the summer; a classic red in the winter) can also be dotted onto the apples of cheeks and the lids of eyes for a monochromatic look you can pull together in two seconds flat. I regularly do this with whatever lipstick I have on hand. (If you're a bit gun-shy at the idea of a one-color-fits-all look, try a lipstick close to your lip color for a neutral effect.) My go-to is Tom Ford Lips & Boys in Thomas ($36, sephora.com).

5. Don't touch your face unless you have to. Your hands are GRUBBY.
And hand sanitizer totally doesn't count—at all. As someone who is oddly scared of others touching my face, perhaps I take this tip a bit too seriously. But your hands are REALLY dirty. Anytime you're just cradling your chin in thought, putting your hand to your cheek or the like, you're actually leaving germs behind, and creating a potential zit minefield.

6. Setting spray is actually life.
Makeup primer is the natural go-to product to prep your skin for long-wearing makeup application, while also helping seal in your skin-care routine. But what's even better is setting spray. After you finish your makeup, just a few choice spritzes will keep everything in place. Try one with added benefits, like Urban Decay Chill Makeup Setting Spray ($31, sephora.com), which cools and hydrates skin, or CoverFX Illuminating Setting Spray ($31, sephora.com), which gives dull complexions an ethereal glow.

7. Don't double or triple process your hair like I have.
I have made a trillion hair mistakes in my almost 33 years. I was born with light blonde hair that turned green every summer because I loved to swim. By the time I was a teen, it had gotten darker and curlier—the latter of which was extremely distressing in the 1990s when everyone's hair was stick straight and mine had a Jewish frizz pattern that even the toughest of stylists had problems taming. So I started getting highlights at far too young of an age (15, fine, I'll tell you). By the time I was 17, the Japanese straightening process had rolled around. And I did that, too.

You know what happened? My hair all but broke off. I had pieces of various lengths and textures. But I didn't learn my lesson, and probably never will, because today, I highlight my naturally dark blonde hair to a pretty bombshell hue and get keratin treatments. But that's because I'm beyond repair. Treat your hair well. Be kind to it.

8. Use a gel-like topcoat on every single manicure.
I've had manicurists look at me strangely for toting a gel-like topcoat everywhere I go. Even if you're using a regular nail polish, use one of the topcoats designed for gel-like results without the UV light, like Essie Gel-Setter Topcoat ($10, target.com). It gives any regular polish a hard, clear lacquered coating, and if you refresh it every other day, your mani will last twice as long.

9. The best defense against oily skin is an offense of face oils.
Oily skin isn't something you can fix—it's just something you have to manage. And rather than stripping oily skin entirely or using a super lightweight lotion, turns out the best way to moisturize oily skin is with face oil. The key is to find the oil that suits your own skin type or complexion issues. For example, grapeseed oil is lightweight and full of antioxidants, making it ideal for pre-sunscreen hydration. Other oils, like tea tree, can actually fight sebum buildup, bacteria, and inflammation. Some oils even have acne-fighting properties, like Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil ($80, sephora.com), which has earned a permanent spot in my medicine cabinet.

What Happens When You Don't Take Care Of Your Hair?
If you don't take care of your hair, it may stop growing after a point. Slowly, you may start experiencing dandruff, hair fall, dryness and dullness.

Not washing hair for long periods can cause ingrown hairs. Yes, you heard it right! They can occur on the scalp too. Also, by leaving your hair unwashed for a long time, you are attracting more dust. Using wrong hair care products can make you feel itchy and lead to hair fall.

Wrapping Up

So by using chemical-free products created for your individual hair type, eating right, avoiding heat styling and following all the above tips, you can bid bad hair days a goodbye! But most importantly, if you experience excessive hair fall and damage despite following a good hair care routine, consult your doctor. And hair or no hair, celebrate yourself nevertheless.

What Is Hair Damage?

Hair damage occurs when aggressors (think friction, heat, and harsh chemical treatments) attack the protective outer layer of your hair (a.k.a the cuticle) leaving cracks in its exterior. Once cracked, the cuticle lifts (or opens up), causing your hair to look dull, dry, frizzy, or brittle, while also making it more prone to damage and breakage, thus continuing what can seem like a neverending hair nightmare. But don't worry—all hope is not lost! While you may not be able to completely repair hair that is already damaged, there are still plenty of steps you can take to help prevent it from happening in the future.

1. Improve Your Hair Brushing Skills
You may have heard that brushing your hair 100 strokes a day is part of a healthy hair care routine, but that's nothing more than a myth. In reality, an excessive amount of brushing can cause severe damage to the hair, especially when your hair is still wet, as that's when it is its most elastic and therefore, more likely to break. Instead, it's recommended that you apply a post-shower conditioner, like our fully customizable leave-in treatment, to wet hair and, using a wide-tooth comb, gently rake it through your strands, detangling them as you go. You should also avoid brushing your hair throughout the day, making an exception only when you need to detangle again, as dry ends are also at risk of snapping. 

2. Invest In Good Hair Ties
Now, don't get us wrong, we love our hair ties (how else would we be able to get through a workout?), but that doesn't mean that we don't see them for the hair-damaging culprits that they are. Useful though they may be, hair ties have a tendency to pull on the scalp and hair cuticles, which is why you may sometimes notice that your hair falls out a bit every time you undo your elastic. To prevent this, try wearing your hair down more often, or, at the very least, opt for a breakage-preventing style, like an Invisibobble.

3. Step Up Your Blow-Drying Game
It's no secret that blow-drying your hair every day can cause severe damage, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you need to commit to a lifetime of air-drying either. The key is to learn how to dry your hair the right way. That means allowing your hair to air-dry a bit first (about 75% of the way) before finishing it off with a blow-dryer, and giving your strands a break from the heat at least a few times a week. When you are drying your hair (preferably on the lowest heat setting), make sure to also put at least a half an inch of space between your strands and the dryer to avoid scorching your ends, and always, always, always apply a heat protectant first. (In case you haven't heard, our customizable leave-in treatment is an excellent option for this *wink, wink.*)

4. Don't Heat Style Dirty Hair
While we're on the topic, it's also worth noting that using a straightener or a curling iron on hair that hasn't been adequately cleansed is also a big no-no when it comes to combating hair damage. That's because, in addition to the already inevitable damage from heat styling, some styling products (dry shampoos, texture sprays, waxes, etc.) contain ingredients that aren't meant to be combined with excessive heat. Instead, reach for products that are specifically designed to hydrate and protect your strands in-between washes and, as always, never use your heat tools without applying a heat protectant first.

5. Know How Often To Wash Your Hair
Let's get this straight once and for all: how often you cleanse your mane is entirely up to you and is dependent upon your hair type, hairstyle, and lifestyle. That said, there is such a thing as over or under washing your hair, both of which can lead to damage. While daily washes are fine if you have oily hair, extremely dry hair may only need weekly shampooing, according to the Nemours Foundation. Either way, you want to make sure you're washing your hair with a shampoo that's formulated for your hair type at least every couple of days (or whenever it gets dirty) as infrequent washing can lead to a buildup of dead cells, product residue, oil, and bacteria, all of which can cause—yep, you guessed it—hair damage. 

6. Beware Of Overprocessing
Sorry, color-treated girls, but all of that chemical processing you're doing may be causing irreversible damage to your hair. While not all color treatments are the same in regards to the amount of damage they create (a semi-permanent process like a gloss is far less damaging than a double process like bleaching), they are still anything but harmless. That's because the harsh chemicals present in these dyes can make your hair shafts porous to the point of exposing the hair cortex, which once broken, leads to extreme breakage. To help counteract those adverse effects, it's important to keep the hair constantly hydrated and to use products that help repair the hair, like a deep conditioning mask or a daily leave-in treatment (seriously, is there anything a good leave-in product can't do?). The AAD also recommends extending the time between your sessions to 8–10 weeks, if possible, to ensure you're not overdoing it. Your hair can only take so much, after all.

Sep 28, 2020, 05:25 PM
Hair Care Dos
1. Wash Your Hair Regularly
Washing your hair regularly ensures that your scalp and hair is free of dirt and excess oil. However, the right frequency depends on your hair type and personal preferences. If you have extremely dry hair, limit your washing to twice a week. If you have an oily scalp, washing your hair on alternate days can help.

2. Use Chemical Free Shampoos
You really can't control all the environmental factors that damage your hair, but what you can control is the kind of shampoos you use. Lesser the number of chemicals in your shampoo, healthier your hair. Go for gentle shampoos that suit your hair type.

Sulfates and parabens in shampoos are used for lathering and preserving respectively, but they can cause skin irritation over time and increase the risk of hormonal disruptions.

3. Dry Your Hair Naturally
We know. Blow drying makes your hair as beautiful as that of your on-screen idol. But excessive heat styling can damage your hair scalp. Limit it to important events, if you have to style. Air drying or towel drying after shampoo is the best way to go. Never sleep in wet hair or comb wet hair. Harsh rubbing with a towel can damage the cuticle of your hair. Be gentle.

4. Oil Your Hair Properly
Pre-shampoo treatments like oiling and massaging improve blood circulation on the scalp, relax your muscles, boost shine and nourish the hair. It also restores moisture content, enables hair growth and repairs split ends. You can choose from coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, castor oil and the likes. Avoid using mineral oil on your hair.

5. Use A Hair Wrap Or Old T-shirt To Dry
This one's new. Your t-shirt can be used to dry your wet hair without causing damage to the hair. Traditional towels are rough on your hair cuticles and damage your hair over time. Save up your soft, old t-shirts from now on!

Hair Care Don'ts
1. Hot Showers
Hot showers strip off the natural oils from your scalp leaving it dry and flaky. Cold showers are your best bet.

2. Stress
If you notice someone with healthy hair, we can bet our lives and say that they worry a little less. Stress can cause hair fall and unhealthy hair.

3. Chemicals
Chemicals from dying, perming and other hair treatments affect your hair follicles, disrupt hair growth and can also lead to hair fall.

4. Hair Styling Products
Heat styling using straighteners, blow dryers and curlers for prolonged periods changes hair texture, makes hair dry and prone to breakage.

5. Salt Water Hair Wash
Salt water damages the hair cuticle, irritates the scalp and makes the hair tangled. Avoid chlorinated water in swimming pools.

How to remove tanning from Knee

Knees:

No matter how much careful you are there are certain areas which once are tanned or get black it is difficult to remove the blackness and roughness from that area. And one such area is knees. Once your knees start getting black and if enough care isn't take care then removing it becomes difficult. So here are certain tips that will help you to remove the blackness from your knees. Dark and ashy knees can sometimes be the result of accumulation of dead skin cell ..

1.Oatmeal scrub: Mix two tablespoons powdered oatmeal with two teaspoons fresh cream or honey. Apply the paste on the knees and leave for few minutes. Now gently massage the paste on the knees. Use only the tips of your fingers for massaging. Wash off the paste after massaging with cold water. Oatmeal works as a great exfoliator and removes dead skin cells.

2. Baking soda: Baking soda is an excellent natural scrub. Make a paste of baking powder using water. Apply the paste on the dark knees and leave for about five minutes. After five minutes wet your hands and start scrubbing the knees where the baking soda is placed for 7-10 minutes. Remove the baking soda paste using water. Pat them dry however let them remain a little damp as you should immediately apply moisturizer on it. Do this on alternate days.

3. Almonds: In a bowl take one tablespoon powdered almonds and one teaspoon finely powdered almond shells. Mix them by adding fresh cream. Apply the paste on the knees and massage them for 10 minutes. Once the massing is done leave the scrub on the knees for five minutes and then remove using lukewarm water. Dry the knees and apply a moisturizer. You could even replace apricot shells with walnut shells.

4. Olive Oil: Warm a little olive oil and apply it on your dark knees. Rub the oil well into the skin. Do this treatment at night before going to bed. Do this thrice a week. Olive oil will not only cure the problem of dark/ashy knees but also soften the skin on the knees. You could also use warm coconut oil in place of olive oil for massaging the dark knees. Coconut oil is as effective as olive oil but it needs to be massaged daily on the knees.

5. Lemon: Lemon is natural bleach and can lighten the color of the knees with regular use. Wash your knees and rub one half of a lemon fruit on knee and the other half on the other knee. Rub for 10 minutes and then allow the juice to dry. Wash the juice using cold water. Do this treatment as many numbers of times as you want in a day. But don't forget to apply a moisturizer to the knees after every treatment.

Rub for 10 minutes and then allow the juice to dry. Wash the juice using cold water. Do this treatment as many numbers of times as you want in a day. But don't forget to apply a moisturizer on your elbows after every treatment.

3. Turmeric, Honey and Milk: Turmeric has antiseptic properties and milk act as bleach, while honey moisturizes the dry skin. Mix some turmeric with milk and honey to make it a smooth paste. Apply it on the dark areas and leave it there for at least 20 minutes. Wet your hands and rub it for few minutes and then wash it off with cold water.

4. Sugar and Olive Oil: Sugar works as an excellent source of exfoliation, while olive oil will moisturize the skin. Mix equal quantities of olive oil and sugar to make a thick paste. Apply this mix on to the black knees and elbow. Rub the skin using this mixture for about five minutes. Wash using mild soap and water.

5. Gram Flour and Lemon: Gram flour cleanses the area and also provides mild exfoliation. While lemon juice acts as a natural bleach that will help to reduce the darkness from your elbows. Add some lime juice to gram flour to make it paste. Apply the mixture and rub in circular motion on your elbows. Allow it to dry and wash it off with cold water.

The Only Makeup Routine You Need



This five-minute, five-product makeup routine from Bobbi Brown Director of Global Artistry Kim Soane will be a lifesaver in the mornings. The handful of simple steps will help to get rid of under-eye circles, an uneven complexion, and sparse brows. All you need are concealer, foundation, a lip-and-cheek stain, brow filler, and mascara to help you go from "just woke up" to "I'm ready to take on the day."

Last-Minute Manicure


If you wake up to find a can't-miss party invitation for the same night sitting in your inbox, we've got you covered on the nail front. This metallic foil manicure is shockingly easy.

All you need are a base color (a darker color works best), a base coat, gold foil, and a topcoat. Swipe your nails with the base color and base coat, then use tweezers to place the bits of foil on your nails while the base coat is still wet, and use the topcoat to seal them in.

Get the Perfect Cat Eye Every Time



If drawing a cat eye for you is like painting a Renoir onto your eyelids, save yourself the grief by making a stencil. Just cut your desired cat-eye shape into a small piece of paper, and hold it up to your lids when applying liner. An even simpler hack? Use a straight edge like a credit card to outline the shape of a perfect cat-eye line every time.

Do a Dressy Ponytail in No Time



This criss-cross ponytail may look complex, but it only takes three minutes to do! The woven design immediately upgrades the classic second-day style to red carpet-worthy levels.

Hydrate Skin While You Sleep



Why spend precious time in the morning moisturizing your face when you can do it in your sleep with an overnight mask like Origins Drink Up Intensive ($25)? The mask's avocado and apricot kernel oil will instantly rehydrate your skin, while Japanese seaweed will help fortify skin to help prevent future dehydration and aging.

Chat Box / 7 Ways to Get Rid of Dark Circles
Sep 22, 2020, 05:59 PM
7 Ways to Get Rid of Dark Circles

1. Cold Compress
In the morning or evening – or better yet, in the morning AND the evening – apply a cold compress for about 10 minutes. If you have a mask you can keep in your fridge and pull out twice a day, that's the easiest way to try this dark circle reducing method. Just make sure to keep it clean and give it a good soapy scrub a few times a week!

2. Cucumbers
We've all seen cucumbers used as cold compresses on television and in films – but do they really work?

In fact, cucumbers have skin-lightening and mild astringent properties, so you can use cucumber slices to fix raccoon eyes naturally.

To try this method twice a day, chop a fresh cucumber into thick slices and then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then, leave the slices on your eyes for 10 minutes. Rinse your eye area with warm (but not hot) water after using.

3. Cucumber Juice + Lemon Juice
If cucumber slices don't work for you, try mixing equal parts cucumber and lemon juice and then use a cotton ball to apply to your under-eye circles. (DO NOT get lemon juice in your eye!) Leave the solution on your skin for 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

4. Rose Water
Rose water doesn't just smell fantastic – it can also soothe and rejuvenate tired skin. Like cucumber, it's a mild astringent, so it can work as a skin toner. Just soak cotton makeup remover pads in rose water for a few minutes, and then let the soaked makeup pads sit on your CLOSED eyelids. Leave them for about 15 minutes twice daily.

5. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are high in lycopene, a substance that's excellent for your cardiovascular health, vision and your skin. Lycopene can help create softer, more supple skin, as well as decrease the appearance of dark under eye circles.

To gain the medical benefits of the lycopene found in tomatoes, mix equal parts tomato juice with lemon juice and then use a cotton ball or makeup remover pad to apply it to your under eye area. (Again, PLEASE do not get lemon juice in your eyes.) Leave the solution for 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water, twice daily.

A tasty concoction of tomato juice, lemon juice and mint leaves to drink daily will also help improve your overall health as well as your skin.

6. Cold tea bags
If you don't have a cold compress or mask to use, substitute with tea bags. Many teas like green tea have the added benefit of antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe strained capillaries in your under eye area.

7. Potatoes
Potatoes are a surprising source of lots of vitamin C, which among other things is great for the synthesis of collagen to promote healthier, younger-looking skin.

To harness the power of vitamin C to treat your under eye bags, grate some potatoes. Extract the juice from the potato and soak some cotton makeup remover pads in the juice. Place the pads on your eyes for about 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

10 Effective Home Remedies for Pink Lips

 How to Get Pink Lips Naturally at Home?

Protecting yourself from pollutants by wearing lip balm with SPF protection, staying hydrated, and using quality products will go a long way in preventing discolouration of your lips. But if you do happen to have dark and chapped lips, use these natural remedies to regain the pink colour of your lips:

1. Lemon and Glycerine Lip Mask
This particular lip mask is a sureshot way to lighten your lips and hydrate them well.

Lemon and Glycerine Lip Mask

What You Need

Lemon juice- 1 teaspoon
Organic glycerine- 1 teaspoon
Storage container
How to Apply

Mix the two ingredients well and put it in a clean and dry container.
The mix keeps well for long if refrigerated.
Apply it on to your lips in a thick layer.
You can wash it off after some time, or leave it on till it is completely absorbed.
How Often to Use

You can use this mask/ balm daily.

How It Works

Lemon is a known lightening agent. Glycerine is one of the best known natural skin hydrating agents. Together the two can reduce pigmentation and plum up your lips in a short period.

2. Beetroot Lip Balm


Beets have a naturally rich colour pigment from the compound betanin. This lets beetroot stain anything it touches. This is the reason a beetroot lip balm will work well to brink the pink back to your skin. Here is how to make your lips pink naturally forever.

Beetroot Lip Balm

What You Need

Beetroot powder- ½ spoon (Use steamed, and pureed beet of you do not have powder)
Shea butter- 1 tablespoon
Olive oil- 2 tablespoons
Beeswax pellets- 1 tablespoon
How to Apply
Heat the ingredients in a boiler.
Mix until the ingredients combine well.
Pour the mix out into a small glass jar.
Allow it to cool before using it as a regular lip balm.
How Often to Use

Use it as you would use any lip balm. If you are not used to it, then make it a new habit because the more you apply it, the softer and rosier your lips will be.

How It Works

Shea butter and beeswax are excellent antioxidants as well as moisturisers. The olive oil is an organic conditioner. Betanin can help restore the reds in your lip.

3. Milk and Turmeric Exfoliator

Milk with turmeric can cure almost anything. Hot milk and turmeric have been used in India for ages to relieve symptoms of cough and throat infection. Cold milk can give your lips a natural pink tint while turmeric can take care of the pigmentation.

Milk and Turmeric Exfoliator

What You Need

Turmeric- ½ to 1 teaspoon
Cold milk- 1 teaspoon
How to Apply

Mix the two ingredients to form a thick paste.
Apply the paste and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Once it dries, scrub your lips gently before washing it off.
How Often to Use

Please use this remedy every alternate day regularly. It shows a marked change in the quality and colouration of your lips.

How It Works

Curcumin in turmeric is known for its medicinal properties. Milk is as a natural moisturiser and cleanser. The two combined will bring your lips back to their former rosy glow.

4. Sugar and Coconut Oil Scrub

While we take care to exfoliate our faces regularly, we may leave out our lips because we are told that the layer of skin covering our lips is too delicate and can be damaged easily. But exfoliation is as essential to your lips as it is to your face and body.

Sugar and Coconut Oil Scrub

What You Need

Refined or brown sugar- 1 tablespoon
Extra virgin coconut oil- 1 tablespoon
How to Apply

Mix the sugar with the oil and blend well.
Apply a bit of this mix on to your lips.
Scrub gently in circular motion.
Wipe off the mix with a damp cloth.
Apply lip balm after the exfoliation.
How Often to Use

Use the scrub once or twice a week.

How It Works

Sugar retains moisture and works as an exfoliant while the oil moisturises and hydrates the lips.

5. Pomegranate Seeds Mask
Pomegranate is a fruit that is rich in antioxidants and works miracles as an anti-ageing remedy. But these seeds are not just yummy to eat or make juice out of, but can also be turned into excellent exfoliators.

Pomegranate Mask

What You Need

Pomegranate seeds that are crushed well
Cream from cold milk
How to Apply

Pick out the seeds of a ripe pomegranate and crush them.
Mix it with fresh cream to create a paste.
Cleanse your lips and apply this paste on it.
Leave the mix on for approximately 10 minutes.
Wash it off with lukewarm water.
How Often to Use

If used thrice a week, the mask helps to reduce pigmentation of the lips.

How It Works

The mask exfoliates your lips gently while putting the much-needed moisture back in. Additionally, pomegranate contains punicalagin, a compound that can inhibit melanin production to reduce the darkening of your lips. Pomegranate is known also to strengthen the epidermal layer of your skin.

6. Cocoa and Chocolate Lip Therapy
As delicious as it sounds, this remedy is charming because it can fight dehydration like a few other ingredients. Could there be a more delicious way to get the gloss back into your lips?

Cocoa and Chocolate Lip Therapy

What You Need

Unsweetened dark chocolate- 2 squares of average size
Vitamin E capsule- 1
Cocoa butter- 1 teaspoon
How to Apply

Melt the cocoa butter with the chocolate in a boiler.
When the chocolate melts, add the Vitamin E oil.
Mix well and transfer to a bowl to cool.
Apply a thick layer of this mix on your lips.
Let it stay for 15 minutes.
Wash it off with warm water.
How Often to Use

If you have stored the leftover mix in a clean and dry container, you could use it as a lip balm anytime you feel your lips drying out.

How It Works

The cacao in chocolate has compounds that are rich antioxidants. They help fight the degeneration of the cells on your lips while moisturising them. This treatment works like a charm for lifeless and dark lips. Chocolate can also exfoliate dead cells, improve skin elasticity, add glow, and prevent sun damage. If you loved chocolate before, you only have another reason now!

7. Lip Balm and Toothbrush Exfoliation
This simple method can help remove debris and accumulated dead cells off your lips. It clears up flaky lips like magic.

Lip Balm and Toothbrush Exfoliation

What You Need

A lip balm of thick consistency
A soft toothbrush or an old cotton cloth
How to Apply

Spread a thick layer of lip balm on your lips.
Leave it on for as long as possible. This facilitates absorption of the lip balm.
If you can keep it overnight, it works to rejuvenate your lips well.
Once it has been absorbed well, use the soft bristles to massage your lips gently while exfoliating it to remove dead cells.
Use a soft cotton cloth if you do not want to use a brush.
Your lips will feel moisturised and soft.
How Often to Use

You can do this exfoliation every day if you prefer. Keeping the lip balm overnight increases the efficacy.

How It Works

Removing dead skin cells from your lips will help replenish moisture, and reduce the flakiness. The exfoliation performed is in its gentlest form to maintain the delicate balance of the lips' membrane.

8. Lemon Juice and Almond Oil
Sweet almond oil is a simple and effective remedy for lip discolouration.

Lemon and Almond Oil

What You Need

Lemon juice- a few drops
Sweet almond oil- a few drops
How to Apply

Mix the two ingredients nicely.
Apply like a lip balm.
Let it get absorbed.
How Often to Use

Use it as often as you can remember in a day.

How It Works

Almond oil is a rich antioxidant. It can help rejuvenate your lips while removing the debris of dead cells that have accumulated. Lemon juice is, of course, a natural skin lightener and helps restore colour to your lips. This mixture can make your lips soft, plump, and supple in a matter of a few days.

9. Rose Petals Mask
Rose petals have the pink in their name. This is a wonderful remedy to patchy and dry lip problems.

Rose Petals Mask

What You Need

Rose petals-5 or 6
Milk- ½ cup
How to Apply

Soak rose petals in milk for a night.
Strain the petals in the morning and mash them.
Add a few drops of the milk in which you've soaked the petals.
Make a mushy paste out of the two.
Apply this to your lips and leave on for 15 minutes.
Wash it off with cold water.
How Often to Use

If you fancy really rosy lips, you could do this every day. Done at night, the results will be even better because any remedy works like magic when the body is in resting mode.

How It Works

Natural oils and sugars are the secrets that rose petals hold. These help to lock in the moisture and work in an anti-inflammatory way while the milk moisturises the skin. Rose petals are known to revitalise the skin and bring back a glow to it. Rose has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties that make it an ideal ingredient for the treatment of cuts, abrasions, dryness, and burns.

10. Coriander Lip Mask
Coriander isn't just a garnish that you use in your dishes. It is a powerful medicinal plant that has curative properties. It could be your answer to one of the best home remedies for pink lips in 15 days.

Corainder Lip Mask

What You Need

A handful of coriander leaves
How to Apply

Crush the leaves into a thick paste.
Apply the paste on to your lips.
Let it sit for 20 minutes.
Wash with warm water and pat dry.
Apply lip balm.
How Often to Use

Use it every day for a few weeks.

How It Works

Coriander leaves are rich in beta-carotene, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, and zeaxanthin. They are known for their antifungal and antioxidant properties. These leaves are also widely known for their ability to flush out toxins. The power of this mask can help restore the colour and quality of your lips if used with dedication.

Essential Tips to Consider
There are a few more things that you can do to bring the rosy colour back and keep it forever:

Eat tomato, melons, and cucumber to maintain hydration levels.
Saliva dries out the lips further. So do not lick chocolate lip masks or honey and sugar scrubs off your lips.
Commercial lip balms have many chemicals and preservatives. It takes only a little effort to make your lip balm at home.
If you are a smoker, know that no remedy will be lasting until you kick the habit.
Remove your makeup before going to bed.
Wear sunscreen if you spend the day under the sun.
Exfoliate even your lips, and use a mask too.
Strangely, it is also said that applying a couple of drops of mustard oil around your belly button can help you have softer lips. It might be tied to the fact that the oil cools the body temperature in some way, enabling relaxation. It may sound outlandish, but it seems to have worked for our grandmothers and may be worth a try!

So if you have dark, chapped, and flaky lips, the remedies we have mentioned can well be your chance to get back the sheen and colour of your lips. Bringing back the colour should be the least of your worries, thanks to the comprehensive list that we have put together for you. Keeping your lips in the pink of health is what you need to work on. It takes determination and consistency to try a treatment and stick to it until you see results. You needn't try them all. Pick the ones that are easy for you and make sure that you continue to use them even after you have regained the colour and suppleness of your lips.

Almond oil

This oil is a successful fighter against pimples, but at the same time, it's great for removing lipstick and other makeup products. Pour a few drops on a cotton pad and rub over your lips. Almond oil is a great and cheaper alternative to popular makeup removers.

Vaseline

The shape of the eyebrow is very important and affects the overall appearance of the face. If your eyebrows are "disobedient" or are curled, you will easily "tame" them by applying a small amount of vaseline. After that, just brush them with a brow brush.

Coconut oil

Hair is one of the most important concerns of every woman, and permanent painting, ironing or curling destroys the hair. Before washing your hair, massage the scalp with coconut oil and let it work for three minutes. Nutrients from this oil will feed hair and make it shiny and healthier.

Cold water

For the flawless tan, hydration is necessary. Dermatologists advise you to wash your face with cold water at least twice a week, as hot water opens the pores, which are then more easily filled with bacteria.

Mascara is the perfect eyeliner

You go to work and you realize that you have spent eyeliner. Don't worry, if you have mascara you can solve the problem! If you have an eyeliner brush, simply grab a little mascara and apply above the eyelashes.

Perfect lips

Sexy lips include a clearly defined upper lip. You will achieve this with the use of a lip pencil. If you want some correction, apply a little powder or corrector on your lips, and then draw a line to correct it. Of course, this doesn't have to differ much from your natural lip line.

Baby powder with mascara

Often, on the advertisements for mascara, they promise both volume and length of eyelashes, extreme black color and shine and everything. However, this is often not the case. But for this, there is a trick – baby powder! Apply one coat of mascara, and dip the cotton swab in baby powder and go over the lashes, then apply a second coat. You will be thrilled with the result.

Long lasting waves

If you don't want straight hair, but don't have time to go to the hairdresser and everything you have on hand is the hair straightener – don't worry. All you need is to make some braids, and then press the hair straightener over them. Spread the braids and here is the hairstyle!

Make the dark circles disappear

Place two spoons in the freezer for five minutes, and then gently place them on the eyes for a few minutes.

Proper application

To make your face perfect when applying a base and foundation, remember to always apply these products from the top to the bottom. Apply the face cream bottom-up so your skin will remain beautiful and elastic.

Here Is How Coronavirus Has Impacted Petrol, Diesel Sales


State fuel retailers have sold about 17 per cent less petrol and about 26 per cent less diesel in March compared to a year ago as fuel demand in Asia's third biggest economy declined due to steps taken to curb spread of the coronavirus, industry sources said.


State companies - Indian Oil Corp, Hindustan Petroleum Corp and Bharat Petroleum - own about 90 per cent of the country's retail fuel outlets.

Local petrol sales in March were about 1.94 million tonnes, while diesel sales reduced to 4.98 million tonnes, sources said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi imposed a 21-day lockdown that will end in mid-April in a desperate bid to stave off an epidemic among the nation's 1.3 billion people.

Due to restrictions on movement and travel advisories, aviation turbine sales have dropped by about 33 per cent to 4,50,000 tonnes during the month, they said.

The country's consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or cooking gas rose 1.7 per cent in March from a year earlier to about 2.3 million tonnes, they said.

Before initiating a nation-wide lockdown, India had taken steps including closure of schools, universities, shopping malls and other public gatherings and restricted air travel to control the spread of the virus.

Property Prices Face Steep Falls As Virus Freezes Market


The country's real estate market is likely to see a significant price correction for the first time in a decade as the coronavirus pandemic stalls businesses across the country, according to a half-dozen industry insiders.
"Property prices may come down by 10-20 per cent across geographies, while land prices could see an even higher reduction of 30 per cent," said Pankaj Kapoor, chief executive of real estate consultancy firm Liases Foras, adding there hasn't been such a correction since the global financial crisis.


Since then, prices in most markets have held steady despite lending and shadow banking crises.

In the last year, things had taken a turn for worse because of a liquidity crunch at shadow banks - which are big lenders to both developers and property buyers - forcing companies to offer discounts.

Now buyers can expect far steeper cuts.

"It is a complete buyer's market. So if somebody really wants to do the deal, they have to reduce prices," said Ram Raheja of S Raheja Realty in Mumbai.

The situation now is so severe that there is four to five years' worth of real estate inventory across India - an all-time high. The country's nine major residential markets have unsold units worth some Rs 6 lakh crore, according to a report in January by PropTiger, an online real-estate portal.

BigBasket Starts Deliveries With Cab Aggregators And Restaurant Associations, Grofers Also Faces Shortage of Staff

Online grocery delivery platforms BigBasket and Grofers are facing scarcity of operational staff due to the coronavirus outbreak in India. To meet the increasing demands that are in result of the nationwide lockdown and cope with the shortage of delivery partners, BigBasket has started working with third-parties such as cab aggregators and restaurant associations. Grofers has also called applications for operational workers.

With the lockdown in place, many people, such as taxi drivers, couriers, deliveries of non-essential goods, have found themselves underemployed. Although there has been no official steps taken, the delivery executives have had to adapt to deal with the current scenario, with some doing deliveries of medicines, and other people spotting Uber drivers turning their cars into mobile vegetable stalls.



Now, grocery delivery companies like BigBasket and Grofers, which have started operations again but have huge backlogs of orders, are looking to this workforce as a way of meeting the current surge in demand.

Through a notification on its app, BigBasket has started informing customers that it is working with cab aggregators, restaurant associations, and retailers to fulfil its manpower requirements for grocery deliveries. The Bengaluru-based company is also addressing the unavailability of delivery slots on its platform and is claimed to have increased its server capacity by 50 percent to handle additional traffic in this tough time.

bigbasket third party deliveries app gadgets 360 Bigbasket

BigBasket has informed customers about its partnerships to ramp up manpower requirements

That being said, BigBasket is yet to fulfil grocery requirements for the masses in the country who aren't able to step out and purchase essential items thanks to the coronavirus outbreak spreading in the country and the nationwide lockdown that the government implemented last week. Placing an order is still very difficult, and most apps say delivery slots are full.
