Summers are tough on the skin if you happen to stay in a tropical country where you have to deal with excessive sweating, harsh sun and changing weather. They say your skin is the truest reflection of your inner happiness. If you stay stress-free, eat healthy and do basics in skincare, that glow from within is easily doable.&nbsp;

To make it easy for our readers, we got in touch with a few beauty and skin specialists who break it down what it takes to achieve holistic beauty without the 15-step beauty-care regime that is being promoted by beauty and lifestyle influencers. They spoke about integrating dermatology and wellness for fuss-free summers, winters or any other season you find trouble adjusting to.&nbsp;

Dr. Dinyar Workingboxwalla, a well-known Skin Specialist and Co-Founder of Beauty By BiE said that integrating dermatology and wellness is paramount for achieving holistic beauty. Our skin reflects our inner health, and by combining dermatological expertise with wellness practices, we can unlock the true potential of radiant skin.&nbsp;

<h2>Taking care of skin the right way:</h2>

•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Start with a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids to nourish skin from within. 
•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Practice stress-relief techniques like meditation or yoga to maintain hormonal balance, reducing breakouts and inflammation. 
•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Regular exercise boosts circulation, promoting a healthy glow. 
•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Hydrate adequately and protect skin with sunscreen to prevent premature ageing. 
•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Incorporate dermatologist-approved skincare products tailored to your skin type and concerns. 
•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Prioritise quality sleep to allow skin cells to regenerate optimally.

The expert added that as a practitioner of holistic well-being and an advocate for clean beauty, “I am dedicated to empowering individuals to embrace this holistic approach for lasting beauty and well-being.”

Dr Shraddha Deshpande, Aesthetic- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, at Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central said, "Integrating dermatology and wellness is about nurturing both the body and mind for holistic beauty. Embrace a colourful, diverse diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables while avoiding processed foods, hydrate with ample water, and prioritise quality sleep and regular exercise. Cultivate mental well-being through stress management and burnout prevention techniques.”

“By making lifestyle changes and following a simple, consistent skincare routine, we empower ourselves to achieve not only radiant skin but also overall improved health and anti-ageing benefits. Remember, what we nourish inside reflects outside, embodying the harmony of inner and outer wellness,” she added.&nbsp;

With decades of experience in the skin department, Dr Manu S. Walia, Head of Dermatology, Myrah Derma Med pointed out that keeping so many lists in mind can be pretty daunting for someone who is just starting off. The expert said that you can nurture the mind and body entirely with just some basic changes to your lifestyle.

<h2>Points to keep in mind while aiming for healthy skin:&nbsp;</h2>

- A personalised treatment plan from a dermatologist, catered to fit your skin type and skin concerns, can address both skin issues and overall health and wellness.&nbsp; 
- As a daily practice, it is important to wear SPF sunscreen every day, no matter the weather, even when indoors. For a dermatological solution, medical peels containing exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs can give you bright, clear and even-toned skin.&nbsp; 
- By combining a balanced diet, an exercise routine, and a consistent skincare routine into your daily life, you can ensure that you are working towards holistic beauty as an end goal, contributing to your overall good health and looks.

Healthy and glowing skin is not a day’s job. It requires patience, analysis of your daily schedule, how much you prioritise your health (both mental and physical) and if you stay happy on most occasions.&nbsp;

Skin specialists suggest how to embody the harmony of inner and outer wellness with easy tips: Exclusive

Ganesh Chaturthi, a vibrant and joyous Hindu festival celebrated with great enthusiasm, marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, the deity of wisdom and prosperity. It's a time of family gatherings, sumptuous feasts, and colourful decorations. But amidst all the festivities, let’s not forget to pamper our skin and achieve that radiant glow.

In an exclusive conversation with WION, Dr.&nbsp;Navnit Haror,&nbsp;Chief Dermatologist and Cosmetic and Hair Transplant Surgeon at Dr. Haror’s Wellness, shared&nbsp;his top 10 skin pampering tips for Ganesh Chaturthi. Scroll to read!

1. Hydration is Key:

Before we dive into any skincare routine, it’s important to remember that hydration is the foundation of glowing skin. Ensure that you drink plenty of water to keep your skin well-hydrated from within. Proper hydration can help combat dryness and dullness, and promote a healthy complexion.

2. Gentle Cleansing:

Start your skincare routine with a gentle cleanser that will help remove dirt, sweat, and makeup, allowing your skin to breathe. Look for a cleanser suitable for your skin type, whether dry, oily, or sensitive, and cleanse twice daily to maintain a fresh and clean canvas.

3. Exfoliate Wisely:

Exfoliation is essential to remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother, more radiant skin underneath. But during such festivals, make sure that you do not over-exfoliate, as this can lead to irritation and micro-tears on the skin. Go for a mild exfoliator and use it 1-2 times a week to maintain a healthy glow.

4. DIY Face Masks:

Experience the power of natural ingredients for glowing skin with DIY face masks. For example, a turmeric and yoghurt mask can brighten your complexion, while a honey and oatmeal mask can moisturise and soothe. Experiment with these remedies to discover what works best for you and your skin.

5. Sunscreen, Even Indoors:

Do not underestimate the importance of sunscreen, even when indoors. Harmful UV rays can easily penetrate through the windows and cause skin damage. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and apply it generously, especially if you plan to spend time near windows or balconies.

6. Nourish Your Skin with Antioxidants:

During the festival season, our skin can suffer a lot of damage due to late-night parties and grand feasts. To counteract this, incorporate antioxidant-rich foods like berries, spinach, and nuts into your diet. Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress and keep your skin youthful.

7. Get Your Beauty Sleep:

Amidst the celebrations, don't forget the importance of a good night's sleep. Quality sleep is a must for skin repair and regeneration. Aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to wake up with glowing and refreshed skin.

8. Oil Massage for Body and Hair:

Indulge in an oil massage for your body and hair. Warm coconut or almond oil can actually do wonders for your skin and hair health. A gentle massage improves blood circulation, relaxes the body, and leaves you feeling rejuvenated.

9. Mindful Makeup Removal:

After a long day of festivities, remember to remove your makeup diligently. Not removing your makeup and keeping it on overnight can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Use a makeup remover that suits your skin type and follow up with a gentle cleanser for a thorough cleanse.

10. Practice Stress Reduction:

Festivities can sometimes be overwhelming, leading to stress and anxiety. Remember that stress can manifest on your skin in the form of breakouts and dullness. Incorporate relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga into your routine to keep stress out of your system.

In addition to these skincare tips, it's crucial to remember that everyone's skin is unique. What works for one individual may or may not work for another, so pay attention to your skin's specific needs and alter your skincare regime accordingly.&nbsp;

Glowing for Ganesh Chaturthi: Top 10 skin pampering tips for the festival season

With its soothing and hydrating properties, aloe vera is a versatile plant that can be your ultimate companion during the scorching summer months. From sunburn relief to hydrating skincare, this wonder plant offers a range of benefits.

Let's explore seven refreshing ways to utilise aloe vera in our summer skincare routine.

Sunburn soothing treatment: Sunburn is a common woe during summer, but aloe vera can be your go-to remedy. The gel-like substance found inside aloe vera leaves has a cooling effect that helps alleviate pain and reduce inflammation caused by sunburn. Extract the gel and gently apply it to the affected area for instant relief.

Nourishing DIY face mask: Beat the heat and revitalise your skin with a homemade aloe vera face mask. Combine fresh aloe vera gel with a tablespoon of honey and a few drops of lemon juice. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off. This mask will hydrate and brighten your skin, giving you a healthy summer glow.

Your hair will feel softer, smoother, and more manageable.

Cooling aloe vera ice cubes: Combat the summer heat with aloe vera-infused ice cubes. Pour freshly extracted aloe vera gel into an ice cube tray and freeze it.

7 ways to add aloe vera to your summer skincare routine

In the era of beauty influencers and social media, it is easy to have FOMO and thus a lot of people keep buying every new product they see on social media. Skincare is a simple science wherein you have to identify your skin concerns, your skin type and your priorities and then work consistently towards resolving those issues. Buying random products which are not going to contribute towards your goal is not just a waste of hard-earned money but it can lead to allergies and other skin issues that you did not have to begin with.

Every dermatologist advises that when it comes to skincare, less is always more and that you do not need a 10-step routine to get your dream skin. Most dermatologists themselves have just a basic 3-4 step skincare routine.

When you feel inclined to buy a new product, the questions you should ask yourself are mentioned below!

<h2>Q1.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Is this product suitable for my skin type?</h2>

For example, a person with oily skin will not get many benefits from using hyaluronic acid. And, a person with sensitive skin should refrain from experimenting too much with their skincare products.

<h2>Q2.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Is this product contributing towards my skin goals and concerns?</h2>

If you are dealing with active acne, it is better to stick to anti-acne products and not jump to depigmentation cream right away, wait for acne to settle before making that switch. Vitamin C should be used in serums and creams when you have active acne.

<h2>Q3.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Is the new product compatible with my existing products?</h2>

Vitamin C and AHAs should not be applied together. A patient on retinol should reduce the frequency and concentration of AHAs/ BHAs in their skincare routine as when applied together, they can occasionally cause inflammation and over-exfoliate.

<h2>Q4.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Would you be able to repurchase this product?</h2>

Expensive does not always mean better. And, there's no point in buying costly products when you can't repurchase them.&nbsp;So look for affordable yet effective products that have minimal side effects.

Dermatologist shares 4 things you must keep in mind before buying any new skincare product

Lesser-known skincare ingredients you must try once

With a new product and skincare trend taking over our feeds almost every day, it's hard to narrow down a skincare routine that suits our skin type and concern. All of us are tempted to try that new glitter mask or gadget that promises more than it delivers. But, let's just accept the fact that it's hard to follow a 10 or sometimes even 15-step skincare regime that our favourite beauty influencer advocates for. When we asked an expert what a working women's skincare routine should look like, he said, "Keep it simple and listen to your skin."

CTM - Cleansing, Toning, Moisturising - is the easiest skincare regime one can follow. But you can always jazz it up with a serum or an eye cream. Sunscreen, however, is a complete necessity.

In an exclusive conversation with WION, Dr Umed Shekhawat, MBBS, FRACGP, shared the following:

<h2>Step-by-step skincare guide for working women</h2>

Step 1 Cleanser

Every morning after waking up and at night before going to bed, splash your face with lukewarm water (never hot) and cleanse with milk or foaming cleanser depending on your skin type and concern.

Step 2 Toner

Toners act as a delivery system for antioxidants. Every toner targets a different&nbsp;issue. You just need to pick the one that best suits your skin type and concern. If you have acne, get a salicylic acid toner. If you have dry skin, pick a hydrating toner.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Step 3 Serum&nbsp;

Serums are super concentrated and they address specific skin concerns. They represent a very important part of any skincare routine and can vary according to daytime or nighttime routines. Hyaluronic acid serums, Vitamin&nbsp;C serums, and Niacinamide serums are some of the top picks. Skip this step if you are short on time or don't have major skin concerns.

Step 4 Eye cream&nbsp;

Eye cream is a necessary step in skincare routines that should be introduced in your 20s. It helps deal with dark circles, fine lines, eye bags and wrinkles. But, keep this step for your bedtime rituals! Place the eye cream on your bedside table and just before shutting your eyes, use the elixir so that it can do its magic while you snooze.

Step 5 Moisturiser

Moisturiser is a must for all skin types, even oily. It gives that extra hydration that our skin&nbsp;needs after harsh chemicals, weather and sun play havoc on our skin. During the day, use a lightweight gel or water-based moisturiser that goes well with makeup too.

Step 6 Sunscreen

Sunscreen should be the last step in your daytime skincare routine. Pick a product that doesn't leave a white cast&nbsp;and has a minimum of 50 SPF.&nbsp;

With a new product and skincare trend taking over our feeds almost every day, it's hard to narrow down a skincare routine that suits our skin type and concern. All of us are tempted to try that new glitter mask or gadget that promises more than it delivers.

With a new product and skincare trend taking over our feeds almost every day, it's hard to narrow down a skincare routine that suits our skin type and concern. All of us are tempted to try that new glitter mask or gadget that promises more than it delivers. But, let's just accept the fact that it's hard to follow a 10 or sometimes even 15-step skincare regime that our favourite beauty influencer advocates for. When we asked an expert what a working women's skincare routine should look like, he said, "Keep it simple and listen to your skin." CTM - Cleansing, Toning, Moisturising - is the easiest skincare regime one can follow. But you can always jazz it up with a serum or an eye cream. Sunscreen, however, is a complete necessity. In an exclusive conversation with WION, Dr Umed Shekhawat, MBBS, FRACGP, shared the following: Step-by-step skincare guide for working women Step 1 Cleanser Every morning after waking up and at night before going to bed, splash your face with lukewarm water (never hot) and cleanse with milk or foaming cleanser depending on your skin type and concern. Also read: 3 things you must do during Stress Awareness Month Step 2 Toner Toners act as a delivery system for antioxidants. Every toner targets a different issue. You just need to pick the one that best suits your skin type and concern. If you have acne, get a salicylic acid toner. If you have dry skin, pick a hydrating toner. Step 3 Serum Serums are super concentrated and they address specific skin concerns. They represent a very important part of any skincare routine and can vary according to daytime or nighttime routines. Hyaluronic acid serums, Vitamin C serums, and Niacinamide serums are some of the top picks. Skip this step if you are short on time or don't have major skin concerns.

It helps deal with dark circles, fine lines, eye bags and wrinkles. But, keep this step for your bedtime rituals! Place the eye cream on your bedside table and just before shutting your eyes, use the elixir so that it can do its magic while you snooze. Step 5 Moisturiser Moisturiser is a must for all skin types, even oily. It gives that extra hydration that our skin needs after harsh chemicals, weather and sun play havoc on our skin. During the day, use a lightweight gel or water-based moisturiser that goes well with makeup too. Step 6 Sunscreen Sunscreen should be the last step in your daytime skincare routine. Pick a product that doesn't leave a white cast and has a minimum of 50 SPF. Disclaimer: Tips and suggestions mentioned in the article are for general information purposes only.

Doctor shares step-by-step skincare guide for working women | Exclusive

Summers have arrived! And, our urge to hit the beach in a teeny-tiny bikini is growing with each passing day.&nbsp;But, harsh sun rays and hot temperatures could be a reason for you to cancel your plans. If you want to&nbsp;enjoy yourself to the fullest even in the hottest climate, you must take proper precautions and follow a proper summer skincare regime, according to experts.&nbsp;

Summer season can be particularly harsh on the skin due to the heat, humidity, and increased sun exposure. Dehydration is a major issue for most of us as increasing temperatures make the body sweat. It makes your skin look dull and dry and may even cause wrinkles to appear.

Then some people end up getting heat rashes and sunburn due to excessive exposure to sunlight, which damages the skin and leads to premature ageing. Sunburn can also increase the risk of skin cancer. Long-term exposure to hot temperatures and UV radiation is known to cause&nbsp;premature ageing, including wrinkles, age spots, and sagging skin.

To prevent these skin conditions from occurring, it is important to protect the skin from excessive sun exposure, stay hydrated, and keep the skin clean and dry in hot and humid conditions.

Speaking exclusively to WION,&nbsp;Dr Sonali Kohli, Consultant Dermatologist and Venereologist, Sir HN&nbsp;Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre, shared the following:

<h2>Important skincare tips you must remember&nbsp;during the summer months!</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Sunscreens with SPF and broad spectrum coverage should be used daily. If outside exposure is more than three hours, it should be reapplied.</li>
	<li>Use of topical and oral antioxidants should be encouraged.</li>
	<li>Ascorbic acid-based serums can be used but only prescribed by dermatologists as they do not suit everyone.</li>
	<li>Skin-soothing agents and moisturisers containing ceramides should be encouraged to help prevent dehydration of the skin by water loss into the environment.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Avoid using AHA and retinol during the day as they can increase photosensitivity.</li>
	<li>Mineral-based makeup and gel formulations are encouraged during summer to prevent skin clogging with excessive sweating.</li>
	<li>Incorporating the usage of micellar water prior to cleansing is encouraged to help get rid of dust and grime from the skin and maintain healthy skin PH.</li>
	<li>Drinking enough water and having a healthy nutritious diet are mandatory to ensure radiant skin.</li>

Summer skincare routine for those living in hot cities like Delhi, Mumbai: Don't miss tips from dermatologist

We all have that one aunt who gives us the weirdest skincare hacks, claiming they will work wonders on our rough, dry and dull skin. Then there're a million websites that list dozens of skincare and beauty hacks without any backing from an expert. We are simply dealing with content saturation, where the best advice gets buried within search results in an overcrowded niche. So, who should we listen to? Simple! We should listen to experts who spend thousands of hours studying a particular topic or field. &nbsp;

And, to get you the best expert advice, we spoke to a skincare specialist who happily shared her secrets with us.

In an exclusive conversation with WION,&nbsp;Dr&nbsp;Sonali Kohli, Consultant Dermatologist and Venereologist, Sir HN&nbsp;Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre, shared seven worst skincare advices one should steer clear of.

<ol>
	<li>Using lemon juice on your face</li>
	<li>Scrubbing your face with baking soda</li>
	<li>Using toothpaste to treat acne</li>
	<li>Not using sunscreen</li>
	<li>Over-exfoliating</li>
	<li>Using too many products at once</li>
	<li>Using hot water to wash your face</li>
</ol>

Using lemon juice on your face: Lemon juice is often touted as a natural remedy for acne and dark spots, but it can actually do more harm than good. Lemon juice is highly acidic, and applying it to your skin can cause irritation, redness, and even chemical burns.

Scrubbing your face with baking soda: Baking soda is often recommended as a natural exfoliant, but it can be too harsh for your skin. Scrubbing your face with baking soda can cause micro-tears in your skin, which can lead to inflammation, redness, and even acne.

Using toothpaste to treat acne: While toothpaste can help dry out a pimple, it can also irritate your skin and make the problem worse. Toothpaste contains ingredients like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and alcohol, which can dry out your skin and cause redness and peeling.

Not using sunscreen: Sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. Skipping sunscreen can lead to premature ageing, dark spots, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

Over-exfoliating: Exfoliating is important for removing dead skin cells and keeping your skin looking fresh and bright, but over-exfoliating can be damaging. Too much exfoliation can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause irritation and inflammation.

Using too many products at once: It's tempting to try out every new skincare product that hits the market, but using too many products at once can overwhelm your skin. Layering too many products can cause irritation, breakouts, and even allergic reactions.

Using hot water to wash your face: Hot water can feel soothing on your skin, but it can also strip your skin of its natural oils and cause dryness and irritation. Stick to lukewarm water when washing your face to avoid damaging your skin.

Exclusive: 7 worst skincare advices, according to renowned dermatologist

2022 was dominated by skinimalism, glass skin, glazed doughnut skin, and everything minimal, natural and beautiful. And, the early beauty trends of 2023 tell us that there won't be a major shift in the new year too. 'Status Skin' will be making waves online, according to top trend predictions of the year, and once again, beauty enthusiasts will be thinking less about perfecting and more about pampering. And, instead of concealing, we will&nbsp;focus more on enhancing.

If you have been scrolling through your Facebook, Instagram or TikTok feeds recently, you must already have the 'Status skin' trend on your beauty radar as more and more influencers are moving towards fresh-face routines and minimal makeup. Keep scrolling to know how you can incorporate skin status trend into your beauty regime.

<h3>So, let's under what exactly is 'Status Skin'!</h3>

This trend is all about using fewer products in a strategic manner to achieve healthy and glowing skin. Experts say that while skinimalism trend was about focusing on the skin's condition, status skin is about flaunting it.&nbsp;This means spots and&nbsp;freckles need not be concealed, dewy skin takes centre stage, light coverage products will get the popular vote, and skincare-infused&nbsp;makeup will be&nbsp;the product of choice.

In short, instead of perfecting, the focus needs to be on pampering.&nbsp;You will have to deeply condition your skin with different products and tools while also elevating it with illuminators, glowy coverage &amp; hydrating serums.&nbsp;

Celebs like Dua Lipa, Yara Shahidi, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra&nbsp;and Ashley Graham have already hopped on the bandwagon for the runway-inspired trend.

Since beauty aficionados spent the last year focusing on effective skincare and improving skin condition, more divas are feeling confident to flaunt their natural beauty and get on with the skin positivity movement. &nbsp;

Also, the&nbsp;pandemic&nbsp;taught us all about the importance of putting ourselves first and treating our skin in a similar fashion. As a result,&nbsp;more people started talking about clean beauty,&nbsp;science-backed ingredients and high-tech beauty gadgets.

	<li>First and foremost, curate a skincare routine that makes your skin feel naturally healthy and soothed. Consider using toners, serums, facial oils, mists and other products that best suit your skin type and concern.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Secondly, look for contouring face tools like jade roller, Gua Sha, or microcurrent wands that give you a sculpted effect. &nbsp;</li>
	<li>To achieve status skin, you must own a few illuminating serums. You can also try some dewy skin tints or BB creams. The whole point is to increase the use of skincare-infused base products.</li>

What is 'Status Skin' and why everybody is talking about the beauty trend?

It's not about what we use but how we use certain skincare products that make a real difference! No matter how complex or easy your daytime and nighttime skincare regimes are, you will always need an expert's advice to understand what should be applied first and in what order. When applied in the correct sequence, you can reap maximum benefits from all of your products and avoid side effects or irritation.&nbsp;

To understand how we can layer moisturiser, toner, serum and facial oil among other products for maximum impact, we spoke to a few dermatologists and here's what they shared.

For your morning skincare routine, follow this order:

<ol>
	<li>Oil-based cleanser</li>
	<li>Water-based cleanser</li>
	<li>Toner or astringent</li>
	<li>Serum</li>
	<li>Spot treatments</li>
	<li>Eye Cream</li>
	<li>Moisturiser</li>
	<li>Facial oil</li>
	<li>Sunscreen</li>
	<li>Makeup</li>
</ol>

For your nighttime skincare routine, follow this order:

<ol>
	<li>Makeup remover</li>
	<li>Oil-based cleanser</li>
	<li>Water-based cleanser</li>
	<li>Exfoliator</li>
	<li>Toner or hydrating mist</li>
	<li>Serum</li>
	<li>Overnight spot treatments</li>
	<li>Eye cream</li>
	<li>Facial oil</li>
	<li>Sleeping mask</li>
</ol>

Now, you must remember that you don't necessarily have to use all the products mentioned above. You can alter your routine based on your needs. If you have dry skin, then use facial oil towards the end of your routine. If you have oily skin then you can skip the step altogether.

Similarly, if you have acne and breakouts, use a spot treatment during the routine. And, if you do not have acne problems, skip the part.

Morning skincare routines are all about protection and prevention so you must not skip&nbsp;necessary steps such as moisturizer and sunscreen. Night routines, on the other hand, focus on repairing the damage done during the day with thicker products that can be applied at night.&nbsp;

Moisturiser, toner, serum: Correct order for your skincare routine, according to dermatologists

We are all aware of the damage that extreme pollution may do to our respiratory and cardiac health. But let's not forget that prolonged exposure to pollutants, which enter the superficial and deeper skin layers via transcutaneous and systemic routes, makes our skin one of the principal targets. There are several simple calculators on the internet that may be used to optimise skincare regimens for women and treatments against pollution-related health problems. Thoughts for males now? Not that many, actually. Here is a skincare guide for men who have had a day filled with pollution in the city.

<h2>Deep cleansing</h2>

The three most common effects of exposure to pollution are accelerated skin ageing, pigmentation, and acne formation. The thumb rule to prevent all this begins with deep cleaning, followed by the incorporation of antioxidants or a good regenerative compound. For deep cleansing, choose a facewash that has compounds like activated charcoal in the ingredient list.

Actives such as charcoal help pull out dirt from deep in the skin, making them harder working and faster acting. And if you have a product like the Bombay Shaving Company Charcoal Facewash, you have the power of activated bamboo charcoal, which has stronger cleansing capabilities. The product is enhanced with vitamins and antioxidants extracted from papayas, and pomegranate extracts that hydrate while combating ageing. Translation - you don't have to spend too long anti-polluting your face!

<h2>Exfoliate</h2>

After you've cleaned your face, consider a resurfacing face exfoliator. This step is great for removing dead skin layers and digging out the smaller molecules of grime debris. Another advantage of exfoliating is that it softens the hair follicles, preparing your skin for a closer and more comfortable shave in the morning.

"With a scaling pollution rate, environmental stressors can cause oxidative stress, skin ageing, pigmentation, and breakouts. To tackle this, a proper skincare routine (cleansing, toning, moisturising) is a must for both men and women. Grooming for men is equally important as they have more active sebaceous glands and open pores. Ingredients containing antioxidants like activated bamboo charcoal, green tea, coffee, acai berry, and natural fruit extracts top the list to reverse the oxidative damage, promoting exfoliation and revealing a refreshed and healthy complexion," says Harleen Chatrath, Dermatologist.

<h2>Rehydrate</h2>

No, drinking tons of water before going to bed isn't going to do the trick. You need to help your skin regenerate itself and prepare it to fight the free radicals it will be exposed to the following morning. Either choose a face mask that is rehydrating and regenerating at the same time or take a small capsule of an over-the-counter vitamin E, squish it and apply it all over your face. You'll notice a visible difference in just a few days of consistency with this step.

Did you know men's skin is more affected by pollution as compared to women's? This is because men tend to wear less makeup! The makeup acts as a barrier, preventing free radical particles from permeating into the skin. Even if you choose to opt for adding more makeup to your routine, we recommend taking the nightly ritual seriously as well.

We are all aware of the damage that extreme pollution may do to our respiratory and cardiac health. But let's not forget that prolonged exposure to pollutants, which enter the superficial and deeper skin layers via transcutaneous and systemic routes, makes our skin one of the principal targets.

We are all aware of the damage that extreme pollution may do to our respiratory and cardiac health. But let's not forget that prolonged exposure to pollutants, which enter the superficial and deeper skin layers via transcutaneous and systemic routes, makes our skin one of the principal targets. There are several simple calculators on the internet that may be used to optimise skincare regimens for women and treatments against pollution-related health problems. Thoughts for males now? Not that many, actually. Here is a skincare guide for men who have had a day filled with pollution in the city. Deep cleansing The three most common effects of exposure to pollution are accelerated skin ageing, pigmentation, and acne formation. The thumb rule to prevent all this begins with deep cleaning, followed by the incorporation of antioxidants or a good regenerative compound. For deep cleansing, choose a facewash that has compounds like activated charcoal in the ingredient list. Actives such as charcoal help pull out dirt from deep in the skin, making them harder working and faster acting. And if you have a product like the Bombay Shaving Company Charcoal Facewash, you have the power of activated bamboo charcoal, which has stronger cleansing capabilities. The product is enhanced with vitamins and antioxidants extracted from papayas, and pomegranate extracts that hydrate while combating ageing. Translation - you don't have to spend too long anti-polluting your face! Exfoliate After you've cleaned your face, consider a resurfacing face exfoliator. This step is great for removing dead skin layers and digging out the smaller molecules of grime debris. Another advantage of exfoliating is that it softens the hair follicles, preparing your skin for a closer and more comfortable shave in the morning. "With a scaling pollution rate, environmental stressors can cause oxidative stress, skin ageing, pigmentation, and breakouts. To tackle this, a proper skincare routine (cleansing, toning, moisturising) is a must for both men and women. Grooming for men is equally important as they have more active sebaceous glands and open pores. Ingredients containing antioxidants like activated bamboo charcoal, green tea, coffee, acai berry, and natural fruit extracts top the list to reverse the oxidative damage, promoting exfoliation and revealing a refreshed and healthy complexion," says Harleen Chatrath, Dermatologist. Rehydrate No, drinking tons of water before going to bed isn't going to do the trick. You need to help your skin regenerate itself and prepare it to fight the free radicals it will be exposed to the following morning. Either choose a face mask that is rehydrating and regenerating at the same time or take a small capsule of an over-the-counter vitamin E, squish it and apply it all over your face.

Anti-pollution skincare tips for men

Dry skin, chapped lips, rough knuckles and windburn? Say hello to the cold and chilly winter season that is all set to trouble us and our skin in the coming months. And, unless you have some expert tips at hand, you can very much expect the changing weather to be taxing for your gorgeous skin.

Your skin needs more moisture, care and love to fight the dryness that comes with the end of the year. And, since WION believes that one shouldn't have to go through a round of trials and errors to perfect their winter skincare routine, we've got the best dermatologists to shell their beauty secrets.&nbsp;

Speaking exclusively to WION, three skincare experts shared the best ways to look after one's skin during the cold months. Read on!

Expert 1 - Dr Sonali Kohli, Consultant Dermatologist and Venereologist at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre

"Skincare must be customised every few months to match one's needs and changing seasons. One cannot continue with their summer skincare routine in the colder months. Since your skin tends to feel more dry during winter, one must switch to a thicker and richer moisturiser, keeping their skin type in mind. People who have very oily skin, must use gel-based moisturisers and also look for products that contain lactic acid, as it helps with exfoliation, softens rough or scaly skin and prevents the clogging of pores. People with ultra-dry skin can always look for butter or cream-based moisturisers. Meanwhile, people with combination or sensitive skin can use a water or gel-based light moisturiser, which contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid or scalene," said Dr Kohli.

Speaking of SPF,&nbsp;Dr Kohli shared, "During the winter season, we might feel that the sun is not as prominent as in the summer. Hence, many tend to avoid wearing sunscreen. But, did you know that snow reflects up to 80 per cent of the sun's UV light and the rays hit you twice, which increases your risk of skin cancer and premature ageing? I suggest that you wear broad-spectrum UV sunscreen that has triple plus protection even during winter."

To conclude, the dermatologist shared, "During winter, exfoliating your skin once every ten days is a good idea. You should also use a hydrating sheet mask once every two weeks. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, rose hip oil, shea butter, squalane, vitamin c, and ceramides in your skincare routine and never miss CTM (Cleansing, toning, and moisturising)."

Expert 2 - Dr Nilam Jain Kothari, Consultant Dermatologist at Masina Hospital&nbsp;

"Winters are particularly harsh on the skin. Come winters and our OPDs get flooded with patients complaining of dry, flaky skin, chapped lips and sensitive skin. Irritation, inflammation and pigmentation aggravate during winter months giving rise to skin dullness. To tackle most of these issues, I do a couple of things. I look for detergent-free soaps, body washes and face washes to go with my daily skincare. Instead of harsh physical scrubs, I opt for milder chemical exfoliants. Please note that patients with atopic or sensitive skin must&nbsp;avoid exfoliation altogether. Meanwhile, patients going through acne treatments&nbsp;should add a heavy moisturiser to their daily routine and reduce retinoid use or replace it in case of severe dryness," said Dr Kothari.

She continued, "Oils can be added to your daily routine. Try adding bath oils to your shower routine&nbsp;to keep the skin well-balanced and healthy. To get best results, apply moisturisers on wet skin, immediately after taking bath to lock, preferably twice a day. Well-hydrated skin is less prone to relapses of eczema, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis."

"Lips should be well hydrated at all times. So don't forget to use an intense lip balm with an SPF. Sunscreen goes without saying as the sun never takes a vacation. Lastly, drink adequate fluids to keep the skin well-hydrated and healthy from within," she concluded.

Expert 3 - Dr &nbsp;Deepti Ghia, Consultant Dermatologist, Masina Hospital

Revealing her beauty secrets, Dr Ghia shared, "If you have a combination or dry&nbsp;skin type and are using products like retinol, AHA, or BHA, you will have to reduce the frequency of these products or decrease the duration of contact as this can cause excessive dryness. The most important thing about winter is that we all tend to take hot baths in the winter, but that will end up drying your&nbsp;skin even more, so I suggest that you take bath with&nbsp;lukewarm warm and apply moisturiser and body lotion immediately on damp skin."

"For people who are concerned about their dry heels, get your hands on cocoa butter or shea&nbsp;butter. If there are cuts on your heels that bleed, you will have to put an antiseptic ointment on them and then cover them with creams that are rich in moisturisers. Avoid 'lick eczema' by wearing a hydrating lip balm at all times.&nbsp;Another important thing is to avoid toners that have astringents in them as they end up making your skin feel dry and stretched," said Dr Ghia.

The 2022&nbsp;heatwave has swept several parts of Northern India in the last few days. The maximum temperatures in certain cities crossed the dreaded 49&nbsp;degrees Celsius mark in the month of May. The Delhi heatwave, in particular, is the worst. While it's already difficult to keep our skin's condition in check during the peak summer season, we cannot even imagine how hard it gets during the heatwave. Only customised skincare routines can save us from irreparable&nbsp;sun damage and some expert tips can come in handy too.

While there are many summer skincare tips available online, just a few are backed by research and experts'&nbsp;testimony. To get you a comprehensive guide on suitable skincare during the heatwave, we spoke to a few skin experts, dermatologists and estheticians. And, here's what we found.

<h2>Skincare tips to reverse heatwave damage</h2>

Tip 1 - Hydration is key

Since we all know that exposure to excess heat and high temperatures can make us feel dehydrated. And, our skin looses its glow, shine and charm. According to Dr. Nilam&nbsp;Jain Kothari, who is a consultant dermatologist at Masina hospital, drinking enough water and healthy beverages made of natural ingredients can help you get your skin’s charm back. You must have heard of beauty snacking, how about you also start beauty drinking.&nbsp;

Tip 2 - Consume food items with high antioxidants&nbsp;

The dermatologist from the Mumbai hospital also suggested that we eat vegetables and fruits that are high in antioxidants as they act as “oral sunscreens”. Foods rich in antioxidants can help you reverse the damage induced by the harmful sun rays. “They act as a defence mechanism against oxidative&nbsp;stress induced by heatwave.

Tip 3 - Wear SPF and use protective skin gear

The first advice that you hear from any&nbsp;doctor for your&nbsp;summer skincare is proper user of SPF. Since the UV rays can damage your skin to a great extent, you must apply sunscreen, sun lotions or sprays before stepping out of your house. Make sure that you don’t skip wearing SPF even if you are wearing clothes that are fully covered.

Tip 4 - Prevent skin congestion&nbsp;

Don’t use creams and lotions that are comedogenic. Opt for non-comedogenic moisturisers to avoid skin congestion. This will help you keep your skin clear and acne-free even during super hot and sunny days.

Tip 5 - Use cooling face mists

Whether you have your makeup on or not, you can use facial mists to give your skin an instant hydration boost. It also helps with sunburns and rashes.

Tip 6 - Use waterproof and lightweight makeup

Instead of using heavy creams and makeup products, opt for lightweight makeup formulas as it helps your skin breath during extremely hot weather.

Tip 7 - Avoid stepping out during hottest hours of the day

Sometimes even SPF and other protective gears cannot help us keep our skin safe during heatwave. So, the dermatologist suggests that we must avoid stepping out of our houses from 12 pm to 4 pm.
