Don’t you hate it when you are getting late in the morning and realise that you do not have time to do any make-up? Or when you have to carry some 20-odd make-up essentials wherever you go?

Let us give you a quick 5-7-minute routine that will get you through the day.

1

Wash your face with a light face wash so that it doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Pat it dry.

2

 Apply a moisturiser or cream to hydrate your skin and give it a soft base for any make-up.

3

Apply a BB Cream, which acts as a light foundation and packs the benefits of a primer and concealer, to give your face a natural and even texture.

4

Apply a black Kajal on your lower eye-lid or use it on the upper eyelids as an eye-liner. Use a Mascara if you want to give your eyes a voluminous lash.

5

Use a lip balm before applying light or neutral Lipstick shade to give your face a radiant blush.

Voila! Your everyday look is complete with minimal make-up and effort!

The struggle to have your lip colour last throughout the day is quite some challenge! However, a few hacks can help the colour last longer.

1 Exfoliate and Moisturize Your lips 

Dry lips cannot hold a colour, within a few hours the colour comes off with the dead skin. Before applying a lip shade, scrub your lips with a toothbrush to remove dead skin. You can also apply some coconut oil or castor oil overnight to hydrate your lips. Always apply a layer of lip balm and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before applying lipstick. 

2 Use a Liner to Prevent Smudging

A liner can work wonders to retain your lip colour. Outline your lips with a nude shade to give them a shape and then use any lipstick of your choice. This will prevent the colour from smudging.

3 Double up your Concealer as a Lip Primer

While you do not have to invest in a lip primer, a concealer can also do a good job. Dab some on the lips before you apply lipstick to get a monotone shade and make it last longer. 

4 Set with Powder

Use a compact powder after applying the first coating of lipstick and then apply the second one. This will ensure that the colour does not transfer upon contact.

Each of us is born with a different Prakriti that determines our health and overall wellbeing. Our body constitutes of three doshas- Vata, Kapha and Pitta, the three elements that govern the body's proper functioning. Any imbalance in any one of the doshas, and we start noticing drastic changes, either internally or externally. Ayurveda recommends a seasonal purification or Panchakarma during the monsoon to balance our doshas. The cool, humid weather slows down the Vata dosha and aggravates Pitta and Kapha dosha, leading to various skin and hair issues.

Moisture aggravates frizziness, dandruff, greasiness, hair that lacks lustre and most importantly, monsoon hair fall! These problems further trigger Kapha dosha, resulting in microbial infections that weaken the root and lead to hair fall, breakage, and other concerns. We consulted our Ayurvedic experts for a monsoon hair care routine to regain lost hair health.

Oiling - Ayurveda suggests the best way to keep your hair moisturised is by oiling your hair at least twice a week to keep dry hair at bay. Oiling boosts blood circulation, prevents monsoon hair fall, de-stresses your scalp and strengthens follicles.

Mild cleansing - If you’re someone who loves to step out in the rain to enjoy the weather, you might want to rethink the same for the sake of your hair. Rainwater is acidic and can disrupt the PH levels of your scalp, making it greasy and prone to hair fall, breakage & monsoon hair fall. Thus, washing your hair immediately after the rain shower is imperative.

Our Ayurveda experts suggest using only sulphate and paraben-free shampoos as part of your monsoon hair care routine. Ayurvedic shampoos don’t strip the natural oils from the scalp and gently cleanse it while nourishing it at the same time.

Deep conditioning - Whether it’s a hair mask or a conditioner, hydration and nourishment of the scalp and hair should be the top priority during monsoon. They help prevent frizziness and dull hair. Our Ayurvedic experts recommend using only Ayurvedic conditioners that help protect and repair simultaneously.

Air-drying - Hair follicles are the weakest when your hair is wet, so one should always wait for the hair to dry before combing. Avoid using a hair dryer or heat and chemicals during the monsoon to prevent causing further damage and stress to the hair. Leave them to air dry and brush them from tip to root to avoid entangled hair.

In a world saturated with chemical-laden hair conditioning products promising instant results, the allure of natural hair conditioning beckons. The quest for luscious and healthy locks has led many to embrace the wisdom of Ayurveda—an ancient Indian system of medicine and well-being that advocates for holistic approaches to beauty.

With its emphasis on natural ingredients and long-lasting results, Ayurveda offers a profound alternative to the quick fixes that often leave our hair damaged and depleted. Discover the art of natural hair conditioning, where the secrets to achieving soft, smooth, and voluminous hair lie in the gentle power of nature.
