6 Must Haves in Your Summer Handbag

Swathy · March 31, 2017 · 1 Comment

handbag essentials for summers

We are all set to soak up in a little sun and let the winter jitters go away! Aren’t we? And like us, we know you all are super excited to get in those flowy summer dresses. This post briefly elaborates on the essentials you should carry in your bag while this scorching sun rules sour lives.

Sunglasses

Save your eyes from the direct sun rays, they are sharp and indeed harmful in this season. Carry sunglasses for women in your bag and make it a point to have them in your bag.

Sunscreen & Post Sun Gel

They are your best friends!

Pick for post sun face masks from Shoppers Stop or post sun gels that will help you in recovering the instant sun burns, and will help you to get over with tan.

Fragrance Layers

You cannot tame your sweat in the scorching heat, but yes can stay away from body odour. Floral, fruity, oriental there are so many fragrant tones to pick. Hence keep them handy, fresh and long lasting fragrances will help.

Matte Lip Colours

The glossy lips have taken a back and yet we are loving the current matte sensation. To mention our love towards the lip shades for the season, the neutrals have won our hearts!

Moisturiser

Skin hydration is an important element and you just cannot skip the step. Keep an extra bottle always with you.

Water Bottle

Whatever happens, this element should not skip from your bag. Keep yourself hydrated throughout the day!

Time to give your handbag a quick check and update with the season essentials!

Skin Care Problem During Summer in India

Skin Care Problem During Summer in India

Summer in India can be one giant vacation of bathing in sweat and heat. The heat is so much along with the heat wave that it is difficult to even step out during the day. During the summers, you can expect your skin to come up with some or the other issues due to the excessive heat and humidity.

Skin problems in summer

The extreme heat of Indian summer is not really favourable to skin. Here are some of the common problems one might face in summer in India.

Heat Rash

Heat rash is a common issue faced by people in summer. This happens when the sweat ducts are clogged. The sweat gets trapped and keeps accumulating under the skin and results in itchy skin and skin rashes. Heat rash usually goes away on its own but ensure that you are wearing light clothes while the heat rash is present.

Remedy

One can prevent the heat rash from occurring by regularly scrubbing the skin to ensure the skin pores are not clogged.  Also, when the rash occurs, aloe vera pulp can be applied on the affected skin two or three times a day. This will take the itching and burning sensation away.

Best Sunscreens Vol. 2 – La Roche-Posay Anthelios vs Avene Emulsion

Swathy · February 8, 2017 · 4 Comments

La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Spf 50+ Fluid Ultra-Light, best sunscreens

Last time, I mentioned about two best sunscreens I loved. This time I have Avene and La Rochay Posay which are more like average than being great. So, let us see what I think about them.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Spf 50+ Fluid Ultra-Light

Price : Rs 1450 for 50ml

Availability : Amazon | Flipkart

Why did I buy it? Well, it was on recommendation from a dermatologist who suggested me a few brands of best sunscreens in the market. This is how I came across both La Rochay Posay and Avene. How come I did not end up liking them? I would say it is more of a comparison with other sunscreens I have used and the texture which made the difference as opposed to its effectiveness. Just like helioplex from Neutrogena, mexoryl formula of sunscreen protection is equally effective and is used in Anthelios range.
