So finally, the big day is here! Every bride-to-be wants to look her best on her special day. Every look is incomplete without a matching hairstyle. The hairstyle can make or break your overall look. As the wedding preparation goes on in full swing, it can be easy to overlook something as simple, yet crucial as the hairstyle that suits you best. Not to forget the hair products you will need to style your hair. To save the bride-to-be from all this stress, here are some tips to help you prep your hair before the big day. 1. Get a good haircut a week or two before the wedding. Getting a haircut will not only trim your hair but will also give you a new look. Trimmed hair is not only healthy but also easier to style.

Start pampering your hair.  A hectic lifestyle makes it hard to get enough rest. Pampering is a form of self-care which you should not o...

There was a time when western medicine ruled the roost when it came to human health. However, today's millennial generation is increasingly leaning towards natural ingredients to cure health problems. This is because natural ingredients are not only safe, but also help contribute to our overall well-being.  Among natural ingredients, essential oils are very commonly used. Different essential oils have different purposes. However, there are some oils that have multiple uses and are widely used. Tea tree oil is one such ingredient that can be found in most medicine cabinets, due to its versatility.  Let us learn more about tea tree oil and its uses. What is tea tree oil?  Tea tree oil is derived from distilling the oil extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia. This plant is native to the Australian subcontinent. Now grown all over the world, tea tree oil is a miraculous ingredient known for its antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. As such, its va...

Vitamin E is an essential, fat-soluble nutrient with anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. It helps improve the cell function, immune system and skin health. Being an antioxidant, it combats and remedies the harmful effects of free radicals resulting from daily environmental stressors such as exposure to the sun and air pollution. Vitamin E is beneficial for curtailing UV damage to the skin as well as reducing the symptoms of atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema. In current times, vitamin E is a common ingredient in skincare products as it’s found in everything ranging from lotions to serums. In vitamin E creams , it is often teamed up with vitamin C as the two ingredients go together hand in hand and vitamin E stabilises vitamin C. Though you can reap the inherent benefits of this antioxidant by consuming foods rich in vitamin E such as soybeans and leafy green vegetables, it is equally effective for your skin when applied topically, like using vitamin E gel moisture crea...

Our eyes are one of the most sensitive and yet the most stressed parts of our body. Just like the eyes, the skin surrounding them is equally sensitive and soft. While the common notion is that a normal face moisturizer is enough for the entire face skincare routine, it's a fact that around-eye skin requires special care and products. The skin around the eye is prone to become more irritable and dry, and is the first to show the signs of aging as compared to the skin across the face. Thus , eye creams are a lifesaver to keep the around-eye skin glowing, healthy, soft, and nourished. Eye creams are filled with the goodness of vitamin E, just like The Body Shop Eye Cream , which helps keep the puffiness, dryness, or any irritation away. Well, all the benefits of eye cream cannot be redeemed unless their application is correct. Here are a few tips to apply eye cream correctly that will help your eye cream perform better: Less is more : Eye creams are heavy in moisture, and hence ju...

A refreshing shower gives your day the perfect start and is also the best pick-me-up at the end of a tiring day. Nothing can beat the sensation of standing under a shower and lathering your body with a revitalizing cleanser to get your skin squeaky clean. And this fact brings us to the choices we make for the types of cleaners we use.  Most of us feel the trusted bar of soap is a good option and don’t give it a second thought. But while we are busy looking after our facial skin by investing in face washes and scrubs, let us not forget the rest of our bodies.  How does a shower gel differ from a bar of soap?      Even though they both have the same purpose, a shower gel and a bar of soap differ. They differ significantly in texture.  Soap is a blend of liquid fats and an alkaline substance (e.g., sodium hydroxide). On the other hand, shower gels contain water and lathering agents, giving them a gel-like consistency. 5 Benefits of using a shower gel over ba...

You may be unaware of touching a lot of stuff throughout the day. Whether you work in an office clicking and typing or on a construction site, your hands come in contact with various items that might dry them out and leave them feeling cracked or uncomfortable. Hand cream is a gel-like liquid that hydrates your hands and replaces the lost moisture.  We frequently focus on our face when it comes to skincare, entirely disregarding our hands. The skin on our hands is delicate, and repeated hand washing, regular use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, exposure to the environment, and air pollutants necessitate hand care. Using an effective hand lotion that contains robust components like Vitamin C, Keratin, and Hyaluronic Acid help repair the barrier while also providing hydration and microbial prevention. Dryness of hands is most common in winter because of low temperature and frigid winds. You may, of course, wear gloves, but they will not help your skin regain the lost moisture. Only ...
