Right from days of late night studies to late night partying and hanging out to caring for babies at odd times, dark circles are a constant companion at different stages of life.

Getting rid of them is definitely not easy but a little perseverance and discipline helps reduce them in the long run. No doubt you must sleep a little more if you are skimping on it. Also, drink loads of water to keep your skin hydrated and fresh all time.

Why do we get Dark Circles ?

Nutritional Deficiencies

Lack of iron, potassium, folic acid, vitamin A, C and E can also causes dark circles.

In fact, the lack of these nutrients can enhance the darkness of your already existing blemishes. Eating a balanced and proper diet, especially rich in varied fruits and vegetables as opposed to carbohydrates, is very important.

4 Secret Routines to Healthy Living

Only last week, Mr. P woke up with acute stomach pain. The pain was so bad that the doctor recommended all the blood and urine tests. They also wanted to make sure it was not a case of stones which is apparently pretty common in summers. The final verdict was a gastritis attack because of eating out.

The lifestyle today has become like that. The office timings, hectic schedules, none of them are helping. The net result is one has to eat out at least one meal a day. The sweltering temperatures are also not helping the body to perform at its best. All of this results in health issues which can get serious if ignored for long.

Making changes in such lifestyle is certainly not easy. The lack of time and motivation and even lack of a measurable metric is a big deterrent. Healthy Living seems a dream unreachable but instead of waiting for an awakening call, it is best to take responsibility for your own health and start today. Small steps go far.

Secrets to Healthy Living

Wake Up Early

If I wake up at 11 in the morning, I know that my entire day is a waste. Whereas, whenever I manage to wake up at 7, I finish so many tasks without getting tired. Even if I do get tired, there is always an option of an afternoon nap or an after breakfast nap!

The temperatures are on an all-time high and summers have started way before their schedule. For me, taking care of hair in summers has always been difficult but it is particularly more so this year. The heat is not helping at all and hair is getting all tangled and limp in just a day. So, I decided to follow a few simple and practical hair tips for my summer hair care.

Summer Hair Care Tips

Get a new Hairstyle

This is something which your hair needs RIGHT NOW! A springtime clean for your hair. Get rid of the split ends and damage and make it feel fresh. If you do like colors, go for a fresh one this season. Color melting technique which shows off multiple tones of color in your hair is a must try.

On a side note, the same Mr. P who hated my hair color last season urged me to color my hair again 😀

Wash as Many Times as need Be

Hair Products

Invest in a good shampoo. That is a first in hair care routine. A good shampoo is gentle on your hair and cleanses it without removing the natural oils. I have seen a great improvement in my hair after going SLS free in my shampoos. But, remember, shampoo can just cleanse your hair and scalp, do not expect it to be a miracle worker!
