    <title>MAKEUP TRENDS FOR MATURE SKIN</title>
    <author>
      <name>Respekt Hero</name>
    </author>
    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/makeup1_1024x1024.jpg?v=1702512629"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">All you have to do is take a good look around you to realize that something is missing in the beauty industry. From the advertisement that is made to the models that are used, youth sells! Whenever you talk of older people, all that the makeup talks about is anti-aging! It’s as if the only way makeup can be used by the older generation is by hiding their age.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Come with us and discover the top five makeup trends that suit you no matter what your age is.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Wear your Wrinkles Proudly</strong></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Society has told us that the appearance of wrinkles is the most frightening sign of being old. The mere glimpse of them makes one rush to buy an anti-wrinkle cream that promises eternal youth. If you are anywhere near 50 or above, wrinkles are a reality and can’t be swept under the rug. Embrace your age, not hide it.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">You may not be able to make your wrinkles vanish away but you certainly can wear them tastefully. Using a foundation with a lightweight moisturizer would hydrate your skin and give it  an even tone. Wrinkles, dark circles, and crow’s feet make your eyes look dull and uncared for. Focusing on the under-eye area and inner corners when you apply foundation will give the shine back to your eyes.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Play Up Your Complexion</strong></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Everyone wants luminous skin that shines with the brilliance of youth. However, with the appearance of  wrinkles, the matt- finish that you use in order to look radiant, may settle into the fine lines and between your wrinkles. The Korean beauty trend of “glass skin”  that  is taking the beauty industry by storm, recommends having multiple layers of hydrating products that sit lightly on the skin. This gives you clear, pore-less skin no matter what your age is. </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/makeup2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1702512668" alt="" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/makeup2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1702512668"> </strong></p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Be Bold with Your Lips</strong></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Bold lips are not the sole propriety of the young! Scarlet lips look good on everyone. Break the myth of your senior years being the slave to dull and nude colors. Wear that bright red hue and face the world with confidence. </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Go Natural with your Eyebrows</strong></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Your later years in life are all about caring less and less about people so why should your eyebrows care. It’s about time that the makeup trends stop regulating your eyebrows. Sparse or bushy, let them be. No tweezers and no threading to achieve the so called perfect uniform brows. All that needs to be done is to apply a dark brown shadow and a tinted brow mascara throughout the eyebrows and you are good to go!</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/makeup3_1024x1024.jpg?v=1702512716" alt="" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/makeup3_1024x1024.jpg?v=1702512716"> </strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Blush Up</strong></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Rosy cheeks will rule the roost. Blush has this universal appeal that caters to every age group. It looks especially fetching on mature skin. We suggest you use a liquid blush to keep your skin hydrated, particularly if you have a dry skin type. </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Makeup trends about mature skin are not about hiding your signs of aging anymore! The trends that dominate encourage loving your age and wearing it proudly. </p>

    <title>HOW TO LIVE HEALTHY AT 50 AND BEYOND</title>
    <author>
      <name>Respekt Hero</name>
    </author>
    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<h1><b>HOW TO LIVE HEALTHY AT 50 AND BEYOND</b></h1>
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Age-Care_Live-Healthy_1024x1024.jpg?v=1677871883" alt="HOW TO LIVE HEALTHY AT 50 AND BEYOND"><br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">50 is the new 30 or so you’d be told. Being 50 + is a great deal better than 30 and let no one tell you otherwise. You have reached the zenith of your career, no mortgage or down payments are clawing at your back, your children are charting their own course. With everything taken care of you now have all the time to lavish attention to yourself.  </span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For anyone who is 50 and above, your lifestyle needs a bit of tweaking so that you remain healthy and enjoy your life to the fullest. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/live-healthy3_f25a1b17-5053-4a8d-8f7c-79053191ee2d_1024x1024.jpg?v=1677872031" alt="eat well over 50"></span></p>
<h2><b>Eat Well to Feel Well</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What you eat gets reflected on your face and the overall functioning of your body. Healthy eating becomes the mainstay of a healthy mind and body for everyone above 50. Here are a few things that should become a part of your everyday food. </span></p>
<br>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Rollback on Sodium:</strong> </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sugar has become notorious for its adverse effects on health, but salt is no less! Our optimum sodium levels plummet as we age. At 50 and beyond, our sodium levels go down from 2,300 mg to 1,500 mg per day. High sodium can cause hypertension and blood pressure. </span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most effective ways to cut down on salt is to severely limit your intake of processed food and rinsing canned food before consuming them. Another trick is to substitute salt with flavorful herbs while cooking.</span></p>
<br>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>High protein diet:</strong> </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even though a protein-enriched diet is meant for all, it is highly recommended for anyone whose 60 and above. As you pass your 60th birthday, your muscles need a protein boost to strengthen them. Gorge on fish, lean meat, tofu, germinated black gram, lentils, and quinoa to give your body that much-needed protein.</span></p>
<br>
<p><strong><i>Go rainbow:</i></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> A colorful platter is as good for your body as it is visually appealing. Loading up your plate with reds, greens, purples, whites, and oranges is your passport to good health in your senior years. The colorful fruits and veggies have antioxidants that fight aging. Fall in love with green-red and yellow bell peppers, green leafy vegetables, bright purple eggplant, red tomatoes, and see the difference in the way you look and feel. </span></p>
<br>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Add vitamin supplements:</strong> </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals are needed for healthy aging. While it is recommended that you get your daily dose from an everyday diet, sometimes the diet isn’t enough. There are a few vitamins that are specially meant for older men and women. Vitamin B12 helps strengthen your nervous system and blood cells. Vitamin D and calcium supplements are essential for the robustness of your bones. </span></p>
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/live-healthy1_1024x1024.jpg?v=1677872115" alt="exercise over 50"><br>
<h2><b>Don’t Forget to Exercise</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As opposed to the popular view, exercise is not just for kids and adults under 50, it has multifarious benefits for senior citizens as well. Physical activity has a strong connection with longevity. Exercise helps you keep your body in shape and substantially reduces age-related aches and pains. </span></p>
<br>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Why should seniors exercise?</strong> </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Exercise comes with benefits for both body and mind. Daily exercise keeps your muscle, bones, and joints healthy, builds up stamina, and keeps conditions like diabetes and arthritis under control. Not just the physical aspect, it is also an effective management technique.</span></p>
<br>
<p><strong><i>How much exercise should one do at 50 and beyond?</i></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The ideal number of hours to be clocked in for a healthy adult is 150 minutes per week. The figure of 150 minutes may look daunting. However, all you have to do is divide your exercise time into manageable chunks of 10 minutes each three times a day. Exercise at this age is not synonymous with a heavy-duty workout. Brisk walking in the nearby park, Flexibility exercises to keep the body agile will perfectly take care of your requirement. </span></p>
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/live-healthy2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1677872215" alt="good habit over 50"><br>
<h2><b>Inculcate Healthy Habits</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Habits make a man(and woman). Adopt habits that will keep your body in top condition. </span></p>
<br>
<p><strong><i>Enough sleep: </i></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Don’t underestimate the power of adequate sleep. A good night's sleep allows your body to rest and repair itself, and you walk up restful and energetic. Poor sleeping habits on the other hand make you feel irritable and lethargic. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep. Reducing disturbance, cutting down your screen time an hour before your bedtime, and using a low-watt bulb will help you get good sleep.</span></p>
<br>
<p><strong><i>Maintain oral hygiene: </i></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Oral hygiene becomes crucial as you age. The higher the oral health, the better the quality of the elderly life. Tooth decay, dry mouth, and gum diseases are commonplace among people who are 50+.</span></p>
<br>
<p><strong><i>Annual medical checkups:</i></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Your risk of getting chronic illness including cancers increases once you reach your golden jubilee. Get into the habit of getting an annual full body check-up done. Be sure to include mammograms and colonoscopies.  </span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let your days of rest and relaxation be full of fun and enjoyment. Eating healthy, regular workouts, and adopting healthy habits will ensure that you look and feel the best in your senior years. </span></p>]]>

    <title>MEDITATION- A WAY TO HAPPIER SENIOR YEARS</title>
    <author>
      <name>Respekt Hero</name>

    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Age_Care_Meditation_1024x1024.jpg?v=1663892216" alt=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our senior years are romanticized as being free of household responsibility and having time at hand to pursue the missed opportunities in life. These years are meant to live your dream. Unfortunately, growing old comes with its share of physical aches and pains, the empty nest syndrome, and unpredictable moods. </p>
<p>Meditation can help you significantly in living a holistic life that you deserve in your later years. Research has established the many physical and psychological benefits of meditation that can help you lead a happy life as you age.  </p>
<p>Read on to know how meditation benefits you in your later decades in life.</p>
<p> <img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/meditation3_1024x1024.jpg?v=1663892280" alt=""></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>What is Meditation?</strong></h2>
<p>Meditation is all about awareness of the moment you live in. Awareness of every breath you draw and your surroundings. Meditation teaches you to slow down and let go. </p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Benefits of Meditation</strong></h2>
<p>Meditation comes with immense benefits for both your mind, body, and soul. </p>
<p><em>Slows </em><em>d</em><em>own </em><em>d</em><em>ementia: </em>Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia strike the elderly population more frequently than we can imagine. 50% of all above 85+ live with some form of dementia. The capacity to remember is the foundation of how we function. From operating basic things like household appliances and driving a car to remembering where we live, memory governs everything. Losing one’s memory may create havoc in your life. </p>
<p>Evidence suggests that meditation improves your cognitive ability. Meditation helps people feel more relaxed and less anxious by reducing cortisol, a stress hormone. Cortisol is known for the increased risk of dementia. Meditation aids in increasing the thickness and gray matter. This in turn delays the aging process of your brain. <em> </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><em><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/meditation1_1024x1024.jpg?v=1663892320" alt=""></em></p>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong><em>Helps You De-stress and Increase Focus:</em></strong></h3>
<p>With so much going around us all the time, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Anxiety and stress can severely compromise the quality of our life. Slowing down and just enjoying the gifts of nature can do immense wonders.  Meditation makes you learn to be present in the moment and feel relaxed. Regular meditation help you mind organize your thoughts better and have a clear perspective.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>
<strong><em>Sharpens M</em><em>ental A</em></strong><em><strong>lertness:</strong> </em>
</h3>
<p>Meditation has immense physical benefits that manifest in overall psychological and emotional well-being. Did you know that meditation invigorates your memory centers? Regular meditation leads to a change in the structure of your brain. The area associated with negative emotions like stress, anxiety, etc diminishes and the area responsible for self-awareness expands. People who meditate experience increased focus and creativity. Evidence is also suggestive that meditation helps in maintaining both long and short-term memory.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/meditation2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1663892350" alt=""></p>
<p> </p>
<h3><em><strong>Improves Your Sleep:</strong> </em></h3>
<p>Improved sleep is directly related to a higher quality of life. People with poor sleeping habits often experience irritability and loss of focus. As you age, a good night's sleep becomes elusive and older people often complain of insomnia. Regular meditation is linked to the production of a higher level of melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleeping pattern. In addition, the lower levels of stress also add to the quality of sleep. </p>
<p>Meditation is all about mindful living and enjoying the moment you are in. Incorporating it into your daily routine would reap you immense benefits - physically, emotionally, and physiologically. A happy- stressful senior year is what all of us want and this is exactly what meditation guarantees.</p>]]>

<p> </p>
<p>Have you ever seen social media posts proclaiming that beauty doesn’t last forever? Yes, the very same ones that have two photos juxtapose to each other? One of a young woman with flawless skin and cascading mane and the other of an older woman with a face full of wrinkles? We have been so socially conditioned to believe that beauty is all about youth that we are unable to see the insecurities that this concept perpetuates. The world of advertising and the skincare industry only goes on to amplify this problematic viewpoint. Any more birthdays than your 25th one and you are deemed fit enough only to use anti-aging creams. If a young woman who has barely started her life is relegated to the margins of what comprises beauty, imagine the priority that 50+ women are given by this industry?</p>
<p> <img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/embracing1_1024x1024.jpg?v=1654027313" alt="EMBRACING AGING: BEAUTY AT 50 AND BEYOND"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Whether 25 or 65, everyone wants to feel beautiful and why shouldn’t they? However, with the socially approved definition of beauty recognizing everything young, there is hardly any room for women who have entered their menopause. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is good news too among all this despair. The independent movements within the beauty industry have led to the expansion of the definition of beauty. The current movements have tied beauty with overall wellness - both physical and emotional. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scroll on to find how you can look and feel beautiful when you have blown off 50 or more candles off your birthday cake.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Embrace Aging </strong></h3>
<p>Not just the wrinkles, you would experience other signs of aging as well. </p>
<p>The first step to feeling truly beautiful from within is to be comfortable in your skin.</p>
<p>Aging is a normal and inevitable process and no matter what products you use, your chronological age will eventually reflect on you. True comfort comes with truly accepting who you are. Stop fighting the ticking of the clock and embrace the signs of aging. </p>
<p> <strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Breaking Stereotypes</strong></h3>
<p>Every year brings a new fashion trend with it. These trends try to slot you in watertight compartments based primarily on your age and appearance. Beauty more than trends, it is an expression of your individuality. By the time you are in your 50s, you know what works for you in terms of hair and makeup. Don’t buckle under pressure to fit in with the crowd. You are not a crowd, you are you. Finally at 50 and beyond you have the confidence to be you. Follow the trend, break the trend, stick to your routine, or experiment with your looks: you can do what you want! </p>

<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Take Care of your Skin</strong></h3>
<p>Let’s be real, being menopausal is far from being pretty. Hot flashes, weight gain, dry skin, frequent urination, and mood swings, it’s  excruciatingly exhausting. Your skin takes the beating when menopause strikes. With the dip in estrogen levels, your skin becomes dry, the plummeting collagen results in your skin losing the firmness and you may experience receding hairline due to menopausal induced hair loss. Just because we told you to embrace your age, doesn’t mean you stop caring about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Combat dryness of skin by applying a generous amount of moisturizer at least twice a day and even more if the dryness persists. </li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Adopt twice-daily exfoliation that will gently clear your build-up of dirt, debris, and dead skin cells that slows down with age. </li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Never forget your sunscreen.  UV rays play havoc with your skin and make it dehydrated. Be it 25 or 70, always head out in the sun only after you have applied a broad-spectrum sunscreen. </li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>For regaining that tautness of your skin, use a skincare product with collagen as its key ingredient. </li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>To prevent hair loss, keep away from appliances and products that will make your hair brittle and fragile. Use products that are natural and gentle on your hair. </li>
</ul>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Adopt a Healthy Life Style</strong></h3>
<p>All the skincare will be in vain if your lifestyle isn’t healthy. Stress is not only detrimental to your psychological health but to your appearance as well. External manifestations of menopause will only amplify with stress. Meditation, light exercise and healthy eating add quality to your life and help you navigate the tough terrain of menopause.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aging like a fine wine doesn’t mean you jump on the  band wagon of fashion trends that want you to look a certain way! It is all about celebrating the life you have led with panache.  Don’t let your age  define the way you should look.  </p>

    <title>Scalp Massage For Wholesome Beauty</title>

      <![CDATA[<p><span><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Beauty_Scalp_Massage_1024x1024.jpg?v=1641521483" alt="SCALP MASSAGE FOR WHOLESOME BEAUTY"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>The gentle perambulations of fingertips on your scalp as they weave through the tresses of your hair and tenderly massage your scalp.. is there really any other experience that matches the heavenly bliss of a good scalp massage?</span></p>
<p><span>While no one can argue regarding the divine joy a scalp massage brings, and that it is great for your hair, what is often ignored and massively underrated is the plethora of benefits a scalp massage offers for your whole body.</span></p>
<p><span>While it might sound incredible when we say that scalp massage can help you on your way to achieving the beautiful, flawless skin you have always desired, it is in fact, the very truth. Read on to find out how scalp massage is a blessing for your hair, skin, body, and mind.</span></p>
<p><span>       </span></p>
<h3>
<strong><span>Scalp </span></strong><strong>m<span>assage is great for your hair</span></strong>
</h3>
<p><span>Massaging improves blood circulation to the scalp. This ensures better nutrient supply to the hair, thus promoting hair growth and helping it get longer, stronger, and more lustrous. Moreover, it removes the dead skin cells from the scalp and helps with flaky scalp, dandruff, and seborrheic dermatitis.</span></p>
<p><span>In fact, scalp massage should be a regular part of your hair care regimen – just 5-10 minutes, once or twice a week can bring about significant change in the texture, appearance, and volume of your tresses.  </span></p>
<p><strong><span>Tip: </span></strong><em>Simply massaging your scalp is not enough for healthy, lustrous hair. You will also have to eat a proper, wholesome diet and follow healthy lifestyle practices.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<h3>
<strong><span>Scalp massage calms the mind and de</span></strong><strong>-<span>stresses the soul</span></strong>
</h3>
<p><span>Chronic stress is a prominent cause of premature aging. Stress leads to increased production of a hormone called cortisol which causes increased breakdown of collagen and elastin, the proteins in your skin that give it elasticity and keep it taut and supple. This can result in accelerated formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Cortisol also increases inflammation in the body and can exacerbate symptoms of hives, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and other inflammatory conditions of the skin.</span></p>
<p><span>In other words, the soothing effect of a scalp massage is not limited to just your mind, but it relaxes your whole body and <strong>prevents wrinkles, fine lines, and premature aging that may otherwise have occurred due to stress.</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Scalp massaging is helpful in headaches and migraines as well.</span></p>

<h3><strong><span>How to massage your scalp?</span></strong></h3>
<p><span>Scalp massage is simple and you can get it done at your salon, or you can do it right at home! First, you will have to select the right kind of carrier oil – coconut or jojoba oils are usually the ones recommended by aestheticians. Coconut is preferred if you have a dry scalp, while jojoba, which is lighter, is recommended if you have an oily scalp. Next, if you want, you can add a few drops of aromatic oils to the mix – like menthol, peppermint, or eucalyptus oil. These bring a cooling sensation to the mix, and accentuate the soothing effect of a scalp massage.</span></p>
<p><span>Even if oil is not available, bare fingers are also enough for an effective scalp massage.</span></p>
<p><span>Scalp massage mainly consists of two types of motions – gentle, circular strokes (called ‘effleurage’), and gently kneading the scalp (known as ‘petrissage’). </span></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/scalp2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1641521692" alt="SCALP MASSAGE FOR WHOLESOME BEAUTY"></span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong><span>Precautions while massaging your scalp</span></strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>
<span> </span><span>Take care to be gentle, yet firm, while massaging your scalp.</span>
</li>
<li>
<span> </span><span>Avoid applying too much pressure or force while massaging, especially on sensitive areas like the temple region.</span>
</li>
<li>
<span> </span><span>Avoid using your nails for massaging.</span>
</li>
<li>
<span> </span><span>Make sure not to tangle your hair while massaging, as it can lead to hair damage and breakage.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>A scalp massage is a form of gentle love and care for your scalp. It calms and soothes the mind and brings relaxation to the whole body. It promotes hair growth and helps make your hair healthier and shinier. It freshens you up, protects you from the deleterious effects of stress, and promotes happy feelings through the production of serotonin.</span></p>

    <title>6 Ways To Keep Your Skin Healthy &amp; Glowing This Winter</title>

<p>I don’t know about you, but winter is a relentless period for most of us. Skin has a tough time coping with a part of the year that is, for many of us, cold and dry with less sunlight, compounded by dry indoor heated environments. Problems are only magnified for those of us with pre-existing skin conditions such as rosacea or eczema. The following suggestions are not a substitute for consulting a dermatologist if you need to, but they can make a huge difference in supporting the body’s largest organ through the harsh weather.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>1. Don’t overheat your home</h2>
<p>It can be tempting to turn the thermostat way up when it gets chilly, but not only does that cause a sting to Mother Earth – not to mention your bank balance this year, according to the <a href="https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/WinterFuels.php">Energy Information Administration</a> – the aforementioned dry warmth is a tax on your beauty, too. For reference, room temperature is often assumed to be around 66-68°F (20°C).</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>2. Use an air humidifier</h2>
<p>Cold air simply can’t hold all that much moisture. So while not actively reducing water content in the air at home caused by central heating does help your skin, you may still want to consider a high-capacity humidifier to help raise that ambient moisture.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>3. Aloe vera is a wonder plant</h2>
<p>The humble aloe vera is such a powerful, all-natural moisturizer that it can be used on burns. Amidst its health and wellness posts, <a href="https://www.symptomfind.com/">SymptomFind</a> recently explored the benefits of aloe vera for skin care. The piece noted that in addition to being a natural moisturizer, it can relieve the discomfort that often arises as a result of dry skin, help with acne, blemishes and more. Aloe vera is readily available in bottled form, of course, but it can often be grown at home pretty easily, too.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>4. Stay hydrated</h2>
<p>This shouldn’t need to be said, but it is astonishing how easily we can forget to drink enough fluids in the cold seasons for a bouncy, gorgeous complexion. If you find water boring, warm tea is a great alternative.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>5. Make sure to get enough omega-3 or omega-6 in your diet</h2>
<p>Drinking up is vital, but what you eat plays a role, too. Fish and flaxseed oils are classic recommendations, but instead of supplementing you can try a seed mix sprinkle like the one featured over on <a href="https://www.alphafoodie.com/healthy-omega-seed-mix-sprinkle/">Alpha Foodie</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>6. Take warm, not hot, showers</h2>
<p>Hot showers feel great. The downside is that they strip the stratum corneum, which the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK513299/">National Center for Biotechnical Information</a> has more information on than you could possibly need if you’re curious, but is essentially the outer layer of the skin with a hugely important protective role. The key is to reduce water temperature and use gentler soaps, followed by moisturizer for that radiant glow.<br> <br> These tips can be lifesavers in the months to come.

      <![CDATA[<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Beauty_niaciamide_1024x1024.jpg?v=1634591419" alt="Niacinamide"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>The market is full of beauty products and ingredients that promise unsurpassed beauty and flawless skin. An ingredient that has been making headlines recently is niacinamide. But how effective is niacinamide in taking care of our skincare needs? Let’s find out.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span>What is Niacinamide?</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, which is an essential vitamin – that is, it is not manufactured by our bodies and needs to be taken from external sources.</span></p>
<p><span>Vitamin B3 forms a crucial part of our diets as its deficiency can cause pellagra, affecting multiple organs including the skin, gastrointestinal system, and brain. But the benefits of niacinamide are not limited to our diets alone - when applied topically, niacinamide has been shown to provide a variety of benefits to the skin and hair. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span>SKINCARE BENEFITS OF NIACINAMIDE</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Niacinamide is easily absorbed from your skin and has a wide range of benefits that are backed by plenty of scientific researches.</span></p>
<p><em>Increases production of natural lipids in the skin</em><em> : </em><span>Niacinamide promotes the production of ceramides. Ceramides are lipids produced in your skin that help maintain its protective barrier.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><em>Increases circulation to the skin</em></h3>
<em> </em><span>Improved circulation means a better supply of nutrients to your skin, ensuring healthy, youthful, and glowing skin.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><em><span>Protects against UV damage</span></em></h3>
<strong> </strong><span>Niacinamide is known to protect your skin against the harmful effects of UV rays present in sunlight.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><em>Decreases oil production</em></h3>
<em> </em><span>Niacinamide limits the production of sebum from sebaceous glands and is beneficial in preventing bouts of acne.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><em><span>Has a skin brightening effect</span></em></h3>
<em> </em><span>Niacinamide decreases hyperpigmentation and dark spots, and helps you achieve a smooth, spotless complexion.</span> </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><em>Repairs skin damage and prevents premature skin aging</em></h3>
<span>Niacinamide is beneficial in repairing both external (from dirt, pollutants, etc.) and internal damage (from free radicals) to your skin, and has been seen to show <strong>si</strong>gnificant improvement in wrinkles and fine lines.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><em>Has anti-inflammatory properties</em></h3>
<span>Niacinamide’s anti-inflammatory properties make it beneficial in treating mild to moderate forms of skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema.</span>
</li>
</ul>

<p> </p>
<h2>
<strong><span>How does Niacinamide </span></strong><strong>A<span>ffect your </span></strong><strong>H<span>air?</span></strong>
</h2>
<p><span>Niacinamide boosts the circulation of blood to your scalp and improves its appearance and texture. It helps the hair grow longer, stronger, and gain more mass. Moreover, the hair grows more supple and shiny.</span></p>
<p><span>Niacinamide also promotes keratin buildup in the hair, and helps in healing any damage to your hair, whether physical or chemical.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>
<strong><span>How to </span></strong><strong>I<span>ncorporate Niacinamide into your </span></strong><strong>S<span>kincare </span></strong><strong>R<span>egime?</span></strong>
</h2>
<p><span>Niacinamide can be used topically on your skin twice a day. It is available in a variety of formulations and is a common constituent of creams, serums, moisturizers, and cleansers. You can easily inculcate it into your daily skincare regimen according to your personal needs.</span></p>
<p><span>It is advantageous to couple the benefits of niacinamide with those of other antioxidants like green tea extract or vitamin C. Since niacinamide promotes hydration, it is also a good adjuvant to retinol and can help prevent dryness or irritation caused by retinol.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/niacinamide2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1634591777" alt="niacinamide"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>
<strong><span>Does </span></strong><strong>N<span>iacinamide have any </span></strong><strong>S<span>ide </span></strong><strong>E<span>ffects?</span></strong>
</h2>
<p><span>Niacinamide is safe and well-tolerated by most individuals. However, you may experience mild burning, itching, or redness. Usually, any discomfort should subside with time.</span></p>
<p><span>Niacianamide is a safe and effective addition to your skincare regimen that provides multiple benefits, including protection from UV damage and prevention of premature aging. Unlike other ingredients like retinol or vitamin C, niacinamide is well tolerated by the body and actually prevents itching, irritation, and dryness. </span></p>

    <title>5 Pandemic-Era Hobbies That Can Settle Your Mind</title>
    <author>
      <name>Respekt Hero</name>
    </author>
    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p><img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/11/29/06/16/kindle-1867751_1280.jpg"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>Contributed and written by Katie Morris</em></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like you, we’ve been hearing and reading quite a lot about pandemic hobbies. As it turns out, a year and-a-half in on-and-off isolation will lead people to seek out new activities. And while these activities serve a number of different purposes, some of the most interesting ones were those that contributed to mindfulness. Beyond seeking entertainment and ways to pass the time, a lot of people wound up practicing pandemic hobbies that helped them to cope with stress and settle their minds.<br> <br> With plenty of people still spending large amounts of time isolated at home, we thought we’d identify a few of these hobbies.</p>
<p><br> <span></span></p>
<h2>1. Meditation</h2>
<p><span></span> Meditation doesn’t strike everybody as a hobby, but for many that’s just what it becomes. And as was stated in our <a href="https://respekt.co/blogs/skin-and-mind/spiritual-wellness">post on spiritual wellness</a> at the height of the pandemic, it’s one of the most foolproof methods for getting in touch with your inner self. Meditation won’t cure anxieties or fix the situations that cause you stress. But if you make a regular practice or hobby of it, your mind will be spending more time at rest, and you’ll be less likely to feel overwhelmed. Plus, you may just become more adept at centering yourself over the course of a given day, even if you aren’t actively meditating.</p>
<p><br> <span></span></p>
<h2>2. Cooking</h2>
<p><span></span> Cooking is another hobby a lot of people picked up during the pandemic. Some who would all themselves novices took the opportunity to spend a little more time learning and practicing in their kitchens. Others who already knew how to cook spent some time improving skills and perfecting recipes. Regardless of the specific circumstances though, cooking has been referred to by some as <a href="https://www.pickthebrain.com/5-reasons-cooking-actually-good-meditation-disguise/">good meditation in disguise</a>. It’s a chance to practice simple and repetitive tasks, enjoy some time to yourself, and shut out the outside world a little bit. For many, that makes for the perfect reset.</p>
<p><br> <span></span></p>
<h2>3. Poker</h2>
<p><span></span> Several reports have indicated that a lot of people took up poker during the pandemic, and while many undoubtedly did so to have fun and socialize, the game also makes for a good way to settle the mind and recharge. One reason for this is that the game requires focus and quiet, which in effect means quieting everything else going on in your mind. Additionally though, poker involves some repetitive tasks that steady the mind, not unlike those involved in cooking. The more you play, the more you learn to log <a href="https://www.poker.org/poker-hands-ranking-chart/">poker hand rankings</a> in your mind, recall past hands, and even assess shifting odds in real time. This all takes skill and practice, but it’s also a nice mental workout that can take your mind off of day-to-day stress factors.</p>
<p><br> <span></span></p>
<h2>4. Gaming</h2>
<p><span></span> Poker is one form of gaming that many turned to during the pandemic. However, plenty of others also made use of more traditional forms of gaming — through apps, PCs, consoles, and the like. In these cases, meditative quality depends largely on the specific game, how long it’s played, and so on. Furthermore, the topic of <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/casual-games-mental-health/">video games and stress relief</a> is somewhat unsettled. Nevertheless, plenty of people find that a moderate amount of time spent on a video game makes for an ideal escape from the real world. It’s not a cure for anything, but it can be an effective reset, and a lot of people found gaming to be a helpful hobby for that basic reason.</p>
<p><br> <span></span></p>
<h2>5. Reading</h2>
<p><span></span> Finally, there’s reading! A lot of people used the pandemic to knock a few books off their lists, or to go back and read old favorites. Some even set up remote book clubs so that they could add a social aspect to the hobby. Whatever the case, we know that reading was among the <a href="https://www.reviewed.com/lifestyle/features/study-15-most-popular-hobbies-to-start-during-coronavirus-pandemic">most popular pandemic hobbies</a>, and certainly one of the best for settling people’s minds. Reading is a tried-and-true method of escapism — a wonderful way to settle down racing thoughts and ease some stress. It’s never been a more valuable hobby than in recent months.<br> <br> There are many more pandemic hobbies than just these, to be sure. But reading, gaming, playing poker, cooking, and practicing meditation are particularly effective for those who feel a need to settle their minds from time to time.</p>

    <title>EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HYALURONIC ACID</title>

      <![CDATA[<p><strong><u><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Beauty_hyaluronic_acid_1024x1024.jpg?v=1631047122" alt="Hyaluronic Acid"></u></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The promise of eternal youth is on everyone's wish-list. However, with the ticking of the clock, your body slows down and makes way for unwanted guests: dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin among others. The whole purpose of the beauty industry is to give you back that baby soft skin no matter what your real age is.</p>
<p>Let’s take a deep dive and know about Hyaluronic Acid, an often used indigent in your skincare products</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>What is Hyaluronic Acid?</strong></h2>
<p>Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring sugar found in abundance in our own bodies. It’s a gel-like substance is a powerful humectant. In other words, it has a tremendous ability to preserve moisture which makes our skin supple and firm. Apart from our skin, it’s also found in the eyes and joints.</p>
<p>As time passes, the amount of Hyaluronic Acid in our body decreases. Since in water Hyaluronic Acid can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight, it is one of the favored ingredients in skincare products to help bring back the youthful look. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Hyaluronic_Acid1_1024x1024.jpg?v=1631047413" alt="Hyaluronic Acid"></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>How does Hyaluronic Acid Function?</strong></h2>
<p>Hyaluronic Acid has a unique ability to pull moisture to the surface of your skin. When used in skincare products, it is this ability to hold on to the moisture that does wonders for your skin. It acts best when paired up with other vitamins and acids. </p>

<h2><strong>What Skin Type Best Suits Hyaluronic Acid?</strong></h2>
<p>Hyaluronic Acid is appropriate for all skin types. Its gentle and non-inflammatory properties go well with sensitive skin and don’t trigger or aggravate skin conditions like rosacea or acne. It is especially beneficial for people with dry skin as loss of moisture is something that dry skin faces more than other skin types.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Hyaluronic_Acid2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1631047450" alt="Hyaluronic Acid"> </p>
<h2><strong>What are the Benefits of Using Hyaluronic Acid?</strong></h2>
<p>Hyaluronic Acid comes with a multitude of benefits for your skin.</p>
<h3><em>Hydration</em></h3>
<p>Water is essential for your skin to flourish. Dehydrated skin becomes dry and rough making you look dull and lackluster. Moreover, beyond appearances, dry skin is vulnerable to infections and environmental stresses. It is thus crucial to keep your skin hydrated at all times. Adding Hyaluronic Acid to your already established skincare routine will ensure that the optimum level of hydration to your skin is maintained. Skincare products with Hyaluronic Acid are the perfect solution for flaky skin that winter brings along with it.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><em>Anti-aging</em></h3>
 Hyaluronic Acid is an ingredient of many talents. Its ability to retain moisture is what makes it a popular ingredient in many anti-aging products. By ensuring that moisture level is adequately maintained, it delays the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. 
<p> </p>
<h3><em>Lipid augmentation</em></h3>
Aside from hydrating your skin, Hyaluronic Acid strengthens your skin’s natural barrier as well. Consequently, the skin is able to lock the moisture more effectively Regular application of Hyaluronic Acid substantially slows down the decline of the lipid barrier keeping your skin softer for longer.
<p> </p>
<h3><em>Tighter skin tone</em></h3>
Saggy skin screams loss of youth. Here too Hyaluronic Acid steps in as a savior. It helps tightens the overall complexion and makes your facial contours look younger and tauter.
<p> </p>
<p>It is never too early to take care of your skin. No matter how old you are Hyaluronic Acid will make you look and feel beautiful. </p>

    <title>CERAMIDES FOR ANTI-AGING SKINCARE</title>
    <author>
      <name>Heyyoung Kim</name>
    </author>
    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p><span><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Beauty_ceramides_for_age_care_1024x1024.jpg?v=1629405973" alt="CERAMIDES FOR ANTI-AGING SKINCARE"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>As we age, our skin starts losing its luster and radiance, growing drier, rougher, and wrinkly with time. This is because of the continued damage from harmful external elements and free radicals on one hand, and due to the decreased capacity of your body to produce certain essential constituents of the skin in enough quantities on the other. One such crucial component of the skin whose production decreases over time is a lipid called ceramide.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span>What are Ceramides?</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Ceramides are a kind of lipids that occur naturally in your skin. In fact, they constitute about 50% of your skin. Ceramides are important for maintaining the structural integrity of your skin and also for keeping its physical barrier intact.</span></p>
<p><span>When you are young, your body is able to produce enough ceramides to keep your skin smooth, hydrated, and protected. However, as you age, the amount of ceramide production as well as the quality of ceramides produced in the skin declines. This leads to damaged skin barrier, reduced integrity of the skin cells, and presents itself as wrinkles, dryness, rough skin, redness, and irritation.

<h2><strong><span>Benefits of Ceramides</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Ceramides are present in the outermost layer of your skin, the stratum corneum, and act as a glue to hold the skin cells together and maintain the structural integrity of your skin. They also perform the function of maintaining the physical barrier of your skin, thus keeping out external harmful elements and sealing the moisture inside.</span></p>
<p><span>Since the quantity and quality of ceramides in the skin diminishes with advancing age, you may need to use ceramides in your skincare products so as to recharge the natural ceramide content of the skin that has been lost.</span></p>
<p><span>Ceramides seal the moisture within the epidermis, improving the skin’s moisture content and preventing skin dryness, keeping the skin supple and glossy.  They are also effective in reducing inflammation and are beneficial in irritated skin and dermatitis.</span></p>
<p><span>Ceramides are effective in revitalizing the skin by regenerating the structural integrity of skin.  Expect smooth, firm, and supple skin with reduced wrinkles and fine lines within a few weeks of using ceramides.</span></p>
<p><span>By strengthening the physical barrier of your skin, ceramides also protect your skin from external stressors like pollution or dirt, keeping it fresh and energized for longer, and diminishing the effects of aging due to these factors.</span></p>

<h2>
<strong><span>What </span></strong><strong>T<span>ypes of </span></strong><strong>S<span>kin are </span></strong><strong>C<span>eramides </span></strong><strong>U<span>seful for?</span></strong>
</h2>
<p><span>Since ceramides are a natural constituent of your skin, they suit all types of skin, including dry, sensitive, or oily skins. If signs of aging have started to appear on your skin, you should consider incorporating ceramides into your skincare regime and observe the difference yourself.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>
<strong><span>How do I incorporate </span></strong><strong>C<span>eramides into </span></strong><strong>M<span>y </span></strong><strong>S<span>kincare </span></strong><strong>R<span>outine?</span></strong>
</h2>
<p><span>Ceramides are available as constituents of aging creams, serums, or moisturizers. They can, and should, be used in conjunction with other anti-aging products – like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, peptides, etc. – for enhanced complementary effect. When you exfoliate, do so before applying ceramides, as an exfoliated skin will be better at absorbing ceramides.</span></p>
<p><span>There are a variety of ceramides, derived from plants, animals, or manufactured synthetically. The most effective are the ones that are identical to the ones found in your skin.</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span>In a Nutshell</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Ceramides are a natural constituent of your skin that help in keeping it smooth, hydrated, and protected. However, since the production of ceramides declines as you age, you need to provide ceramides to your skin with your skincare products in order to keep your skin smooth, glossy, and youthful.</span></p>

      <![CDATA[<p><span><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Beauty_Peptides_for_Age_Care_1024x1024.jpg?v=1626739304" alt="Peptides for Age Care Skincare"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Your skin is constantly getting damaged from external elements such as UV rays, pollution, dirt, etc. as well as internal factors like free radicals. As a result, your skin is also in a constant state of healing and rejuvenation.</span></p>
<p><span>However, as you age, your skin’s ability to heal and regrow decreases with time. The production of collagen – the protein that gives your skin its elasticity and keeps it firm and smooth – also decreases with growing age, leading to less elastic, loose skin with more wrinkles and fine lines.</span></p>
<p><span>Anti-aging skincare is aimed at protection from these harmful external factors, mitigating the damage from free radicals (with the help of anti-oxidants), promoting rejuvenation of the skin, and boosting the production of collagen.</span></p>
<p><span>There are so many products in the skincare market that promise miraculous effects, that it can get daunting to choose what to use and what to avoid. One of the emerging trends in anti-aging skincare is Peptides. But how effective are peptides in maintaining the youthful glow of your skin? Read on to find out!</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span>What are Peptides?</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins such as collagen or elastin. These proteins are important constituents of your skin.</span></p>

<h2><strong><span>Benefits of Peptides</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Despite their large size (greater than 500 Dalton, meaning they are not readily absorbed by the skin), peptides have been shown to be quite effective when applied topically.</span></p>
<p><span>Peptides signal your skin cells to produce more collagen. The effect is firmer, supple, and youthful skin with reduced wrinkles and fine lines. A noticeable difference can be seen within a few weeks of using peptides, while you will have to use them for a few months to see complete benefits.  </span></p>
<p><span>Peptides also improve your skin barrier and protect it against damage from bacteria, pollution, UV rays, and other harmful external elements. Moreover, they have some antimicrobial activity as well, so they may be effective against acne as well.</span></p>
<p><span>And they are great for sensitive skin too! Unlike retinoids, peptides do not irritate your skin and can be incorporated into your skincare regime with minimal worries.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2>
<strong><span>In what </span></strong><strong>F<span>orm can I use </span></strong><strong>P<span>eptides?</span></strong>
</h2>
<p><span>Peptides are best utilized as constituents of Moisturizers or Serums not to mention of facial sheet masks, as they get to stay with your skin and act for a prolonged time. On the other hand, peptides in cleansers won’t be as beneficial since they would be quickly washed away.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>
<strong><span>Can </span></strong><strong>P<span>eptides be </span></strong><strong>C<span>ombined with other </span></strong><strong>S<span>kincare </span></strong><strong>P<span>roducts?</span></strong>
</h2>
<p>The short answer is Yes! <span>Peptides can be combined with retinoids</span> and vitamin C <span> for enhanced anti-aging effect.</span> They also work well when paired with other ingredients including collagen and ceramide.</p>
<p><span>Research on peptides is still in its early stages, but it has already been shown that they are quite effective in promoting collagen production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and making your skin look firmer and younger.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Lymphatic massage, also known as lymphatic drainage massage, is a wonderful procedure that has been documented to deliver a wide range of benefits for skincare, particularly acne. Used with other acne products, this facial massage is effective in improving blood circulation and removing unwanted toxins. As a result, it decreases puffiness and gives you a healthy complexion.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Here are a few key benefits of this particular kind of facial massage.</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><strong>Deep Cleansing: </strong></h3>
Lymphatic massage gives a deep cleanse to your skin. Used with other topical products for skin cleansing, it specifically helps acne prone skin to stay clear and free of pimples.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><strong>Advanced Healing: </strong></h3>
Lymphatic massage stimulates fluid flow across your body, thereby effectively moving unwanted toxins near the lymph nodes from where they can be removed from the body. This kind of massage is extremely helpful for people with mild skin inflammation. Gentle movements are used during this massage to prevent any blockages and bringing nutrients and oxygen towards the cells. When anti-inflammatory products are used in conjunction with this therapy, you can see visible benefits almost immediately.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><strong>Reduced Puffiness: </strong></h3>
Being a gentle massage, this therapy reduces puffiness, disperses congestion, and clears complexion effectively. Such inflammation is often caused by illness, cosmetics, allergies, or over-consumption of inflammatory diets. Toxins get accumulated in the body and become visible on the back and front of the ears, on the neck, and below jawline. With rhythmic and gentle pumping motions, this massage move toxins towards the lymph nodes from where they are drained out from the body.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><strong>Congestion Free Skin: </strong></h3>
Regular exposure to stress and pollution cause over-saturation of the lymphatic system, leading to unwanted building up of toxins near the skin, joints, and tissues. Regular lymphatic massage can be helpful in maintaining free flow of the lymph system and removing dead skin cells from the surface. Increased circulation also helps in moisturizing, which is further enhanced with the application of safe serums and moisturizers.</li>
</ul>

<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><strong>Reduced Scar Tissue: </strong></h3>
Formation of new scar tissue is also reduced with manual lymphatic massage. By increasing circulation and clearing system blockages, the area gets flooded with fresh oxygen and blood and leads to regeneration of cells.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><strong>Feeling of Well-Being and Relaxation:</strong></h3>
Since it is a gentle, therapeutic, yet non-invasive procedure, lymphatic massage reduces stress and anxiety, and promotes a feeling of well-being and relaxation. People suffering from low self-confidence due to bad skin condition can feel better and relaxed.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>As with all other beauty treatments, there may be certain conditions when you must not go for a limp massage. Therefore, you should always talk to your dermatologist before booking an appointment with an esthetician. If you are doing the lymphatic massage on your own, make sure you know the procedure well and are well-aware of the moves you have to make. Also take care of the pressure to be applied on which parts of the face. Only with complete safety and proper moves you will be able to get optimum results without any risk. Otherwise, it’s best to leave such a complicated task to the professionals only.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Your skin is bound to change in response to change in your hormones, particularly testosterone and estrogen. If you have oily skin, then your facial oil may increase even more during and before your periods. It is also common to see acne outbreaks during this period. However, these conditions also change with age as you pass through varied phases, including climate, ailments, and sickness. Changes on facial skin starts around puberty and continue throughout your life, even after the menopause.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Hormones and Oily Skin</strong></h2>
<p>Skin changes often happen due to the small glands known as sebaceous glands. These glands secrete sebum, an oily substance. When you reach puberty, these glands grow in size and start secreting more sebum than before, and continue doing that until around 35 years of age. Sex hormones have influence on your sebaceous glands, particularly the androgens which increase sebum production in both sexes during puberty. When androgens bind to the sebaceous gland receptors, they produce more sebum and lead to skin oiliness. That is why many teenagers complain of acne.</p>

<p>If you are a woman with oily skin, then your sebum production may increase just before and during your menstruation and it decreases during the 2<sup>nd</sup> week of your menstrual cycle. However, several other factors like season changes, sun exposure, skin care products, and genetics may affect your skin oil.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/1_ec6b201b-0f34-46b8-a60e-190228e6d270_1024x1024.jpg?v=1616009462" alt="Effects of Menstrual Cycle on Different Types of Skin"></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Hormones and Dry Skin</strong></h2>
<p>Having dry skin is quite common, especially during dry climates and cold seasons. Genetics may also influence dry skin and can become even more prevalent as you age. That is why you must have noticed that your psoriasis, dermatitis and other issues tend to worsen when your menstrual cycle is about to start.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/2_98cb0a9e-1881-4bba-aca8-e0bdc7e831ac_1024x1024.jpg?v=1616009547" alt="Effects of Menstrual Cycle on Different Types of Skin"></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Menstrual Cycle and Acne Prone Skin</strong></h2>
<p>When androgen levels go high, your skin glands produce excess sebum. It combines with the dead skin cells in your pores and cause blockage. As a result, excess sebum is trapped inside your pores and lead to acne. These pores filled with sebum are excellent breeding grounds for bacteria, leading to worsened inflammatory acne. There are direct relations between your acne and your menstrual cycle. Hormones breakout 10 days prior to your periods and continue until your bleeding subsides.</p>
<p>Women, and also men with PCOS, can have acne due to high androgen levels. They may also experience female pattern hair loss and excessive hair growth during to these hormones. When you are on hormonal contraceptive, you may notice reduction in your acne breakouts. These pills contain synthetic estrogen that suppress ovulation and prevent production of androgens.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Menstrual Cycle and Sweaty Skin</strong></h2>
<p>Your sweat also changes throughout your menstrual cycle. During the second half of the cycle, your body’s basal temperature increases and leads to increased sweating as compared to the first half of the cycle. This change can be noticed not only on your face, but in your whole body.</p>
<p>All in all, hormonal variations may have effect on your skin condition and you may see major differences in your skin elasticity, moisture level, healing ability and acne breakouts. Once you notice these changes, you may take effective steps to manage them and stay in control throughout the month.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Centella Asiatica is Pennywort, Wild Violet, or Gotu Kola, which is a botanical herb found in tropical and temperate areas of swamps. Basically, it is an Asian perennial herb that has long been used in medicinal and culinary activities, but now it has started gaining popularity for its skin care benefits. Characterized by petite flowers and rounded leaves, it has started gaining space in a variety of skincare products. Let’s find out what it can do for your skin.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Anti-Aging Effects: </strong></h3>
<p>Centella Asiatica is rich in flavonoids and has high amounts of Madecassoside. It is an active compound that works as an antioxidant and helps in neutralizing free radical damage. This kind of damage is often caused due to exposure to pollution and sun.</p>

<p>Apart from that, the herb is also known to improve circulation of blood and synthesis of skin tissue and collagen that successfully maintains youthful skin texture and complexion. It also enhances skin elasticity, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and gives you a younger appearance.</p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Moisturization: </strong></h3>
<p>Rich in fatty acids, beta carotene, phytochemicals and amino acids, Centella Asiatica provides all the essential nutrients that your skin requires. Amino acids have great hydrating properties to give you a smooth skin and relieve skin roughness and irritation.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Soothing Effects: </strong></h3>
<p>Centella Asiatica contains saponins or asiaticosides that are known for their amazing healing and soothing properties. If your skin if inflamed, itchy, irritated or red, then Centella Asiatica can successfully relieve your condition. It can also help in reducing visible signs of sensitivity on skin, such as burning, itching, and redness.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong></strong></h3>
<h3><strong></strong></h3>
<h3><strong>Improved Healing:</strong></h3>
<p>If you are suffering from a skin condition, then Centella Asiatica can come as a boon to you. This perennial herb is highly beneficial in managing conditions like psoriasis, eczema, stretch marks, and visible veins.</p>
<p>People suffering from acne can also notice accelerated healing after using Centella Asiatica. It not only speeds up healing, but also prevents blemishes and scarring in the future. Medecassoside present in the herb boosts antioxidant effects in your wounds, increases blood circulation and strengthens the skin area. </p>

<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Collagen Boost: </strong></h3>
<p>Centella Asiatica improves blood circulation under your skin, and also synthesizes skin tissue and collagen in your body. Collagen is a compound that is extremely necessary for having a youthful, elastic, and tight skin texture. Our body produces collagen naturally since birth, but as we age, its production ceases. By incorporating Centella Asiatica into your regular skincare routine, you can give the much-needed support to your skin’s structure and fend off the usual signs of aging like sagging and wrinkles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/2_d858ac0f-18ec-40c3-9a07-36cddb2c1fe5_1024x1024.jpg?v=1614294434" alt="Centella Asiatica "></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are many ways of incorporating Centella Asiatica in your skincare routine. There are cica creams that contain this herb in the needed amounts. Other topical medicines are also available that contain this herb for the treatment of raised scars, leprosy, inflammation, stretch marks, and burns. You may also take dietary supplements and oral medicines to reduce swelling and improve circulation of blood in your body. All these are highly effective in relieving your skin condition, maintaining its balance and making it look young and soft for long.</p>

    <title>Vitamin C: The Wonder Ingredient to Give You the Best Skin</title>
    <author>
      <name>Heyyoung Kim</name>
    </author>
    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Skin_Vitamin_C_1024x1024.jpg?v=1612296364" alt="skin vitamin c"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>From protecting against sun damage to lightening dark spots, there is a lot that vitamin C may do for skin. Basically, it is an antioxidant that is known to brighten dark spots, remove free radicals, and smoothen fine lines. There are many products available in the market that are loaded with antioxidants and transform your skin appearance. Let’s have a look at what vitamin C can do for your skin.</p>
<h3><strong>Anti-Aging Effects: </strong></h3>
<p>If you are aging and you have developed fine lines and wrinkles on your skin, then vitamin C can come handy to regenerate skin. It is a nutrient that can protect your skin against damage and neutralize free radicals, thereby giving you a youthful look.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/1_fa707c46-421e-487b-a0f6-faa8a30bb209_1024x1024.jpg?v=1612296502" alt="skin vitamin c"></p>
<h3><strong>Protection Against Sun Damage: </strong></h3>
If you need to spend a lot of time outdoors, then prolonged exposure to the sun can take a serious toll on your skin and cause problems like sunspots, flakiness, rosacea, and rough areas. Topical application of vitamin C on a regular basis can protect your skin against too much sun damage. It can also improve appearance of skin by removing fine lines and roughness.
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Even Skin Tone: </strong></h3>
<p>A number of factors, like hormones, medical conditions, and sun exposure, can lead to uneven and blotchy skin. Under such a condition, vitamin C can repair damaged capillaries that are responsible for discoloration. It also strengthens them and fights against redness.</p>
<p>  </p>
<h3><strong><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/2_280740e4-0d26-40ff-ac70-97c92db31a83_1024x1024.jpg?v=1612296645" alt="skin vitamin c"></strong></h3>
<h3><strong></strong></h3>
<h3><strong>Moisturization: </strong></h3>
Skin is one of the biggest organs on the body that certainly needs hydration. Made up of 64% water, skin should be kept moisturized and this is where vitamin C can deliver the required juices. It helps in retaining moisture level of the skin, and prevents it from extreme oiliness or dryness.

<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Improved Elasticity: </strong></h3>
Topical application of vitamin C is known to encourage production of collagen, which is a natural protein responsible for making your skin plump and tight. As you age, natural collagen production declines, and supplementation with vitamin C can slow down the effects of aging on the skin.
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Reduced Inflammation: </strong></h3>
<p>There are certain conditions that can cause redness, rash and irritation on your skin, such as infection, allergy or immune response. While these conditions can be relieved with medicines, topical application of vitamin C can relieve them and even ease conditions like acne, psoriasis and dermatitis.</p>
<p> </p>

<h3><strong></strong></h3>
<h3><strong>Eased Hyperpigmentation: </strong></h3>
Hyperpigmentation leads to dark skin patches that are caused due to excessive production of melanin. It is a pigment that is responsible for giving color to the skin. While hyperpigmentation is not harmful to the skin, it can be distracting and unsightly. Vitamin C can reduce these signs and inhibit tyrosinase production, the enzyme that encourages production of melanin.
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Healing Effects: </strong></h3>
Apart from all the above mentioned skin benefits, vitamin C is also helpful in repairing wounds and accelerating healing. It increases the number and movement of fibroblasts in the skin, which are connective tissue cells responsible for healing process.
<p> </p>
<p>With so many benefits and effects, include vitamin C in your daily routine and have a soft, glowing, clear skin to show off.</p>

    <title>Healthier Looking Skin with Collagen Restoration</title>
    <author>
      <name>Heyyoung Kim</name>

      <![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Skin_Healthier-Looking-Skin_1024x1024.jpg?v=1609916004" alt="Healthier Looking Skin with Collagen Restoration"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are conscious about your skin, then you must have heard about the term collagen. From supplements to face creams, collagen is everywhere, and you must be wondering what they may do to your skin. Here, we are going to discuss about collagen and its relation with our skin.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>What Collagen is?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Collagen is a natural protein that makes around 1/3</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">rd</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of total protein composition in your body. It makes around 75-80% part of your skin, due to which it is obvious that it plays an extremely important role in affecting the way you look and age. Elastin is another skin protein that works along with collagen to ward off wrinkles and fine lines. As you age, your body starts producing less collagen and you need to fix it with supplements.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/1_6eea38f0-9201-4791-995f-959d65cf791c_1024x1024.jpg?v=1609916074" alt="Healthier Looking Skin with Collagen Restoration"></span></p>
<h2><b>Importance of Collagen for Skin</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that you know the importance of collagen for skin, as we age and collagen diminishes, the skin starts sagging and losing its firmness. Earlier, wrinkles were visible only when you smiled or frowned, but now they stay on your face all the time. This is when boosting your collagen levels becomes important. Collagen is also related to reducing the depth of your eye wrinkles and improving your skin’s elasticity. But when your natural collagen production has ceased, there are ways to revive it. Let’s have a look.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2><b>Ways to Boost Collagen Production</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While aging is not under our control, there are certain lifestyle choices that can boost collagen production, or at least slow down collagen loss in our body. Some of them are:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keeping skin safe from pollution and environmental pollution, as free radicals and pollution can reduce production of collagen and affect skin elasticity adversely</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cutting down on sugar consumption, as sugar increases AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) rate that weakens collagen, damages surrounding proteins, and makes the skin brittle and dry</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Minimizing sun exposure, as UV rays cause damage to the natural collagen in your skin, thereby breaking it down, creating abnormal fibers of elastin, and forming wrinkles</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quitting smoking, as tobacco smoke damages elastin and collagen, and nicotine restricts oxygen supply to the blood vessels</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eating collagen rich foods that can replenish lost collagen in your skin, such as aloe vera, ginseng, cilantro, algae, etc. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Increasing vitamin C intake through foods such as kale, oranges, strawberries, broccoli, red peppers, Brussels sprouts, etc.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/3_db357221-89fc-4f53-abc0-4ecd56833932_1024x1024.jpg?v=1609916118" alt="Healthier Looking Skin with Collagen Restoration"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>Advanced Procedures to Restore Skin Collagen</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the situation has gone out of hand and it is not possible to control with food and lifestyle changes, then there are multiple advanced procedures that can restore your skin collagen. Such procedures include micro-needling, light therapy, ultrasound, radiofrequency, bee venom facial, and others. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have started developing wrinkles, then talk with your dermatologist and let them assess your skin condition. If they diagnose lack of collagen as the reason for your problem, then follow their instructions to restore your collagen levels, or go through the procedures suggested by them. These days, collagen supplements can also prove to be helpful for the purpose.</span></p>

<br>
<p>During the current Covid-19 pandemic, wearing a face mask is extremely important. WHO has recommended to wear cloth masks whenever you go out or meet someone. While they can prevent coronavirus and its spread, it comes with a lot of challenges regarding skin health. When it is mandatory to wear a face mask regularly, skin issues are sure to happen.</p>
<p>Skin rashes, acne and irritation are some of the issues that everyone can experience, especially the ones who have to wear face mask regularly. Here, let’s know about a few common skin issues caused due to wearing mask, and find out how to prevent and treat them effectively.</p>

<h3>Skin Irritation:</h3>
Many people complain of skin irritation due to wearing face masks. These complaints are more common among people who have to go to office and have to wear a mask all day. To deal with such an issue, most importantly use a mask that is breathable and comfortable.
<p>It’s best to wear a face mask that is made up of cotton fabric. It should be made up of triple layers of fabric, it should not be too loose or too tight, and it should properly cover your mouth and nose. Such a mask can prevent sweating that can lead to skin irritation with prolonged use.</p>

<h3>Acne:</h3>
People with acne prone skin have reported increased acne lesions on their face, especially on the area that remains covered with the face mask. Since the area remains trapped in the mask, the skin is not able to breathe and develops acne and pimples. According to dermatologists, one possible solution is to wash the face frequently whenever you get a chance to take off the mask.
<p> </p>
<p>Use a face wash with salicylic acid, as washing the face with it will remove any dirt and sweat accumulated on your skin and unclog the pores. Apart from that, avoid applying too much makeup under the skin. A subtle moisturizer is enough, as this part will not be visible and there is no need to load it with cosmetics.</p>
<p> </p>

<h3>Skin Diseases:</h3>
If you have to wear your face mask for long times, you can develop a variety of skin conditions, including contact dermatitis, rosacea, irritant dermatitis, skin breakdown, and perioral dermatitis. These conditions become more prevalent if the climate in your area is hot and humid.
<p> </p>
<p>If you have developed any of such conditions or if your pre-existing condition has worsened due to wearing mask, then one possible suggestion would be to apply your medicine under the mask and cover it with a barrier. Hydrating balms are effective in keeping your skin soft and moisturized, so that there are minimal chances of developing such conditions.</p>
<br>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>Since wearing a face mask is compulsory these days, you have to find other ways to ensure safety of your skin. Some of them include washing the face frequently, using a face wash with benzoyl peroxide, using chemical exfoliators, keeping skin moisturized, avoiding cosmetics, and using sunscreen with zinc oxide.</p>
<p>With these simple steps, you can keep your skin protected and at the same time stay safe against coronavirus.</p>

<p>"These BDIH COSMOS-certified sheet masks are like a tall glass of Pedialyte for dull, dehydrated skin. Each mask is soaked in a concoction of intensely hydrating ingredients, like aloe, chamomile, rose, and rosemary leaf oil. Use these ultra-moist (ew, but had to) masks twice or three times a week, for 10 to 15 minutes a pop, and press any remaining essence into your skin after you peel it off. You’ll never need a highlighter ever again.</p>
<p>It's worth noting that it's extremely uncommon to find a face mask, let alone a sheet mask, that's been certified as organic, so these really are a rare unicorn."</p>

<em>Respekt Beauty Meditation has launched it</em><em>’s </em><em>beauty app for Android devices, delivering younger-looking and less stressed skin.</em>
</h3>
<p><strong>SAN JOSE</strong>, Calif. - Nov. 12, 2020 - PRLog - <a href="https://respekt.co/pages/beautitation">Respekt Beauty Meditation</a> has a growing K-Pop celebrity and influencer fan base because of the natural and results-proven skincare the company provides. Now, Respekt Beauty Meditation has launched an Android app to help people of all ages spice up their beauty routines regardless of where they are. <a href="https://www.respekt.co">Respekt San Francisco</a> is a natural skincare company pursuing wellness-rooted beauty.</p>
<p>“We deal with the root cause of many skin issues, which is stress. Stress releases certain hormones and chemicals that make the skin either break out, dry out, or develop pre-aging lines. No matter what someone buys to care for their skin, if they are stressed out their skin will not look well. The best thing someone can do for their skin is to start caring for it from the inside out, which is what our new beauty meditation app does,” said Heyyoung Kim, CEO/Co-founder.</p>
<p><a href="https://respekt.co/pages/beautitation">Respekt beauty meditation app</a> is offering a new perspective and ways to apply to an everyday beauty routine from wherever in the world. Women and men who are on-the-go can easily use the app in the parking of work or from the comfort of their beds. The app is a convenient way to start rejuvenating skin without expensive creams that don’t address the root cause of bad skin or weary skin, which is usually stress and worry. Respekt has partnered with Robert Kim, MD who actively adapted the beauty meditation method to treat K-celebs.</p>
<p>“Meditation is one of the proven ways to reduce stress/cortisol secretion and slow down free radical production and premature aging. Plus, we have added positive affirmations to the beauty meditation app which is really empowering for anyone who is looking to feel and look their best,’ finished Kim.</p>
<p>Featuring more than 200 guided meditation sessions and sounds, topics include Moisturizing Mediation, Anti-Aging Meditation, Brightening Meditation, and much more, connecting beauty and wellness in a unique new way. The app, which just launched an <a href="https://respekt.co/pages/beautitation">Android</a> version, is also currently available as <a href="https://respekt.co/pages/beautitation">iOS</a> and through <a href="https://www.amazon.com/eewee-production-Inc-Beauty-Meditation/dp/B08JC7HFJ6/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=beauty+meditation&amp;qid=1605834370&amp;s=digital-skills&amp;sr=1-1">Amazon Alexa</a>. The app has a free 30-day trial and a regular monthly fee of $3.99 for the post-trial period. The first 100 subscribers will also gain* a free 90 days subscription as a result of the company’s Android launch app promotion.</p>
<p>*(request the promo code on <a href="https://respekt.co/pages/receivecodes">https://respekt.co/pages/receivecodes</a>)</p>
<p> Now, <a href="https://respekt.co/pages/beautitation">Respekt beauty meditation app</a> is helping consumers not only start to address skincare challenges using a natural and unique method, but the company believes in developing mindful beauty products without the use of harmful or controversial ingredients.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted the health and wellness scene across the globe. Traumatic events like loss of lives and lost livelihoods have debilitating effects on morale as well as health. It has been seen that epidemics usually cause several negative responses in people’s psychology, and they commonly suffer from sleep disorders, anxiety, and mood swings, and they do not subside even after the crisis subsides.</p>
<p>So, when it comes to looking at the post-corona wellness trends, it is important to have a holistic approach towards the subjects and include different domains in the scope. Rising healthcare costs, increased rate of chronic diseases, and higher impact on aging population are there to name a few. Here, let’s have a look at the possible wellness trends in the post-corona period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/1_79e4d877-3ea0-436b-be3f-814348044930_1024x1024.jpg?v=1603922312" alt="post corona wellness"></p>
<h3>1. Survival would be a precursor, and prevention and precaution would take the front seat during this period. Social distancing would be the new formula to interact socially while going to the market, or while working at the office. Masks would become mandatory, restaurants would require their staff members to wear chef caps and hair nets, and contact-less deliveries would become the norm. Handwashing and sanitizers use would become more frequent, and the health industry will embrace some new words like containment, quarantine and isolation.</h3>

<p> </p>
<h3>2. People will no longer rely on doctors for health related information. They would rather turn to digital platforms to diagnose and understand their concerns. For instance, ‘I can’t smell’ became one of the most searched set of keywords among people in pandemic prone areas like the US and India. People would go to medical websites, YouTube, pharma websites, Twitter, FaceBook, and hospital websites for hunting facts, opinions and stats.</h3>
<p> </p>

<h3>3. Untouchable wearables: Untouchable band became one of the popular wearables during the corona pandemic. This special band gives mild vibrations whenever you try to unconsciously touch your face. It is also helpful in changing habits and behaviors like hair pulling, nail biting, nose picking, and thumb sucking. Such habits are highly responsible for spreading the virus across the globe.</h3>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/4_d028de42-2860-491b-b21b-b8100b55247e_1024x1024.jpg?v=1603922517" alt="post corona wellness"></p>
<h3>4. The most helpful post-corona wellness trend would be to build immunity and eat healthy. By building your immunity levels, you can fight not only Covid-19, but other diseases as well in the future. More home remedies and wonder foods may be discovered to strengthen immunity. For instance, millets have recently been hyped for boosting immunity levels, and serving as an excellent source of fiber, protein, minerals, micronutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins. Similarly, sale of immune supplements will also gain a momentum during this period.</h3>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/5_aef938ce-5be8-48fa-a613-6c5f1686b4da_1024x1024.jpg?v=1603922538" alt="post corona wellness"></p>
<h3>5. Mental health will also become a major concern in the post-corona period. Due to massive loss of employment, starvation, homelessness, loan defaults, alcoholism, poverty, increased gender violence, increased crime rate, and depleted safety nets in the society will lead to many mental conditions in people, such as chronic stress, depression, anxiety, self-harm, as well as suicides. These problems are even more prominent in frontline medical workers, Covid-19 survivors, differently able individuals, youngsters, and women.</h3>
<p> </p>
<p>In today’s times of uncertainty and loom, good health is of prime importance, both physically and mentally. So, there are possibilities that even when the pandemic subsides, we will clearly such these trends among the people and their behavior.</p>

    <title>The Norms of Post-Corona Beauty Trend</title>
    <author>

    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/11_c2aef6e2-6190-4e05-a6bc-acb7d804fcbc_1024x1024.jpg?v=1602131204" alt="post corona beauty trend"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Amid social distancing norms, mask wearing needs, limited in-person skin and beauty services, and widespread quarantines, beauty enthusiasts are changing their beauty and skincare habits and are gravitating more towards at-home salon experience. Since people are working from home and are not going for their usual parlor appointments, they are swapping for at-home equivalents of eyebrow waxing and facials. Skincare has gained priority over makeup, which ladies have not worn for months. It seems difficult to go back even when the pandemic subsides.</p>
<p><br>Here, let’s have a look at the Post-Corona beauty trends.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/33_bbd8b6e3-8095-4f74-bc61-baf4d5438563_1024x1024.jpg?v=1602131251" alt="post corona beauty trend"><br><strong></strong></p>
<h3><strong>Skincare:</strong></h3>
Since people are not going out and staying at home, they are giving more attention to skincare rather than to makeup. Considering this, serums have become more popular, especially the ones containing vitamin C, retinol and hyaluronic acid. Niacinamide serums have also gained increased popularity, probably because skin imperfections seem to be more prominent during online meetings and these serums can hide them successfully.

<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Anti-Blue Light Products:</strong></h3>
Since screen time of everyone has increased a lot, both due to work and leisure, the need to keep the skin protected from blue light has been recently realized. A wide range of blue light blocking products have come up in the market, including mists, creams, primers, sunscreens and facial kits.
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/22_5a297fe0-a09f-4193-a24a-8b78d25bc953_1024x1024.jpg?v=1602131295" alt="post corona beauty trend"></p>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Eyecare:</strong></h3>
When the rest of your face is hidden behind your mask, the only feature visible is your eyes. That’s why people are giving more attention to make their eyes more beautiful than ever. Considering this, the sale of eye liners, mascara, eyebrow trimmers, etc. have seen a surge. Contact lenses have also become quite popular among people who used to wear eyeglasses, probably because eyeglasses tend to get blurred due to mist from mask and distract vision.
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Lip Balms:</strong></h3>
Instead of applying dark and glossy lipsticks, people are now preferring to wear lip balms that can moisturize and nourish their lips while they stay hidden behind the mask. People with irregular teeth development are also using this time to wear braces and correct their alignment, as they no longer need to worry about looking ugly as their mouth will stay hidden in the mask.
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Hair Style:</strong></h3>
Hair styles have also witnessed a major change during the corona period, and they are being popularly accepted by people who are more likely to continue even in the Post-Corona period. Since people are not able to go to the salons for fancy hair styles, most of them are opting for simple styles that can be tied in a ponytail. People working from home find this hair style easy and comfortable to carry.
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Hand Tonics:</strong></h3>
People have started shifting their focus from their face to their other parts of the body, especially hands that are easily visible. That is why most people are using hand tonics to make their hands hydrated and nourished.
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/55_1024x1024.jpg?v=1602131351" alt="post corona beauty trend"></p>
<p><br>Instead of going all fancy with luxurious makeup and cosmetics and flary hair styles, Post-Corona beauty trend is all about comfort. Wearing mask is not comfortable for most, and they do not want to add to their discomfort by applying heavy makeup and wearing heavy danglers. The Post-Corona period will see everyone simple, elegant and modest.</p>

    <title>MEN’S SKINCARE: BECAUSE IT MATTERS</title>

    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Trends_Mens_Skincare_1024x1024.jpg?v=1592425963" alt="men's skincare"></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>While most men are known to be diligent regarding their fitness and exercise regimes, they often tend to show disregard towards a very important part of their body - the skin.</p>
<p>In fact, proper skincare is extremely important not only to fight against common skin issues like acne, eye bags, or wrinkles. But along with clothing and etiquette, a healthy-looking, radiant face and skin is an important part of your grooming. Healthy skin helps you be more satisfied with your appearance and gives a boost to your confidence levels.</p>
<p>It is true that men's skin is thicker and more resilient than that of women, and that is perhaps a reason men tend to ignore proper skincare. With the plethora of skincare products available in the market, skincare may seem to be a formidable and confusing task to some, which is another reason why many men choose to ignore a proper skincare regime.</p>
<p>Hence, when it comes to men, it is important that a skincare regime be straightforward, easy to use, and take little time and effort. </p>

<h3><strong>MEN’ S SKINCARE IS EASY</strong></h3>
<p>A basic algorithm for men is to remember to Cleanse, Moisturize, and use sun Protection. These basic steps, in addition to some healthy lifestyle practices, will ensure healthier skin and delay signs of aging.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong> <em>Start with </em><em>Cleans</em></strong><em><strong>ing</strong> : </em>Day in and day out your skin takes on whatever the environment throws at it. Cleansing helps get rid of all the impurities that have settled on it and better prepares it to battle the next day. </li>
</ul>
<p>Splash warm water on your face. Warm water opens your pores and brings the dirt and impurities out. It is recommended to use a mens' face wash, and not ordinary soap, as most soaps contain harmful chemical ingredients that may be detrimental to your skin health. </p>
<p>Wash your face at least twice a day. However, don't overdo it, as frequent washing can cause unnecessary dryness.</p>
<p>You may also use a face scrub 1-2 times a week to exfoliate dead skin, and come up with a bright, energetic visage. However, discontinue use if your skin gets red or in case of irritation.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong> <em>Moisturi</em><em>z</em><em>e, Moisturi</em><em>z</em><em>e</em><em>,</em><em> Moisturi</em><em>z</em><em>e</em></strong><em> : </em>Rule number two (Cleaning being rule 1) for effective skincare is to use a moisturizer regularly. Not when you feel like, not intermittently, regularly. Applying moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated. A well-hydrated skin prevents aging and wrinkles and also prevents excess oil production.</li>
</ul>
<p>Men's skin is thicker, and therefore needs a light moisturizer that is readily absorbed. Most moisturizers are oil-based, and well suited for men with normal skin, or those who have dry skin, and are especially beneficial in winters. For men with oily skin, water-based moisturizers are recommended.  </p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong> <em>Shield your face from the sun</em></strong><em> : </em>Many of us tend to ignore the importance of sunscreens. However, sun damage is a leading cause of skin aging, and application of sunscreen is an essential step in every skincare regime. </li>
</ul>
<p>Make sure to apply SPF30 or greater on all exposed body parts before going out in the sun. </p>

<h3><strong></strong></h3>
<h3><strong>Healthy Lifestyle for a Perfect Skin</strong></h3>
<p>Healthy lifestyle practices, in addition to the basic skincare regime described above, can work wonders for your skin. It’s not difficult to maintain a lifestyle that helps your skin be its youthful self. </p>
<ul>
<li>
<em><strong>Stay hydrated</strong> :</em> Drink 6-8 glasses of water daily for healthy, supple skin. Control your intake of alcohol and caffeine, as they have a dehydrating effect.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<em><strong>Avoid Sugar and foods with high glycemic index</strong> :</em> For all you men having a sweet tooth, there is news- excess sugar is as bad for your skin as it for your teeth. Eating too many foods with a high glycemic index can lead to inflammation in the body, and may aggravate skin conditions like acne or eczema. So no matter how tempting that chocolate cupcake seems, avoid it. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<em><strong>Binge on those fruits and veggies</strong> :</em> Fresh fruits and vegetables pack a healthy dose of antioxidants - which help fight free radicals and prevent aging - as well as essential vitamins that help keep your skin fit and radiant. Now it’s time to start eating your broccoli and brussel sprouts.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<em><strong>Catch Up on your Nap Time</strong> :</em> Proper, deep sleep every day can go a long way in maintaining your skin health and preventing dark circles and puffy eyes. Skin goes to repair and regeneration mode as we sleep, and lack of sleep can disrupt this healing cycle.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<em><strong>Avoid Stress</strong> :</em> Stress causes the secretion of cortisol, which leads to inflammation in the body. Cortisol also increases sebum production by sebaceous glands and can cause acne.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<em><strong>Avoid Smoking</strong> :</em> Smoking is not cool. It decreases circulation and collagen production and is very detrimental to your skin health. Avoid smoking and your skin will be eternally grateful to you</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>

<h3><strong></strong></h3>
<h3><strong>THE BOTTOMLINE</strong></h3>
<p>Skincare for men is easy, and not something one should be confused or intimidated by. The key is to maintain consistency in your skincare routine and perform it daily in the morning and before going to bed. In addition, a healthy lifestyle goes a long way in preserving the youth and sheen of your skin.</p>

    <title>Microbiome Skincare: YOUR SKIN’S SECRET LIFE</title>
    <author>
      <name>Respekt Hero</name>
    </author>
    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/Trends_Microbiome_Skincare_1024x1024.jpg?v=1592425270" alt="microbiome skincare"></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>Did you know that your skin has a secret life too? Did we just hear a no? Well, surprise! What your eyes can see of your skin is just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more the skin has which you can’t see. The year 2020 has welcomed a new movement in the skincare and wellness industry- the microbiome skincare. Although it is at its infancy, the brands are already recognizing its worth. </p>
<p>Let’s take a deep dive and get acquainted with the new movement that seems to be a trendsetter this year.</p>
<h3><strong>What is Skin’s Microbiome?</strong></h3>
<p>Your skin has its own ecosystem of bacteria that maintain its health. The bacteria guard the skin against pathogens. When the microbiome is balanced, your skin is fresh and looks healthy. As a result, you feel and look healthy. But, if the delicate balance is upset, the same bacteria start causing dryness and itching.</p>
<p>Just like no fingerprints of no two individuals are the same, the microbiome in each individual is unique and highly personalized. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/1_b1d9716e-75f0-4c65-bf74-31eea519683b_1024x1024.jpg?v=1592425310" alt="microbiome skincare"></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>
<strong>Why is it Important to Balance the </strong><strong>S</strong><strong>kin’s </strong><strong>M</strong><strong>icrobiome?</strong>
</h3>
<p>The role of the microbiome is to create a barrier on your skin to protect it against foreign invaders. It retains moisture in the skin. Dryness of skin and itching is the sign the bacteria on the skin surface are fighting the damaging environmental factors and dying out. If the bacteria are not restored, their numbers keep decreasing that shows as dryness on the skin.</p>
<p>Maintaining the balance is of utmost importance so that your skin keeps looking fresh. Constant exposure to pollution and other environmental stresses compromises the balance making your skin you dull and lackluster. </p>

<h3>
<strong>Can Bacteria </strong><strong>E</strong><strong>ver be </strong><strong>G</strong><strong>ood?</strong>
</h3>
<p>In one word: yes. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria. For instance, a group of bacteria makes curd, while others cause disease. We need to hold on to the good bacteria and throw away the bad ones. And when we buy an anti-bacteria soap for our face, it does not differentiate between good and bad bacteria. It removes all bacteria. And when you use it frequently, you create unbalance in your skin’s microbiome. An unbalanced skin microbiome becomes the hotspot of germ and (bad) bacterial growth. In the worst cases, it can even lead to intestinal bacterial growth and cause other infections.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2989/1648/files/2_c45806aa-6254-4bad-9764-aa38cfc1b024_1024x1024.jpg?v=1592425329" alt="microbiome skincare"></p>
<h3><strong></strong></h3>
<h3><strong>How to Balance the Microbiome?</strong></h3>
<p>The skincare industry is burning the midnight oil to harness the benefits of the microbiome by using the concept in various products. One of the key ingredients that have gained popularity is <strong>probiotics</strong>, a key functional ingredient that helps in addressing major skincare issues like acne, wrinkles, blemishes. Microbiome in skincare is a classic example of the beauty and wellness industry joining hands with technology to provide cutting edge solutions to the customers. </p>
<p>Another way to do it is by <strong>eating healthy</strong>. When you eat healthily, your gut microbiome stays balanced. The gut microbiome directly influences the skin microbiome. This means that when the gut microbiome is healthy and balanced, so is your skin microbiome. Healthy and fiber-rich food ferment good bacteria in the gut and that develops the skin’s ability to retain moisture and fight pollutants.</p>
<p>Keeping the secret life your skin happy and contented will do wonders for your skin. Happy healthy skin is a reflection of a happy and healthy you.</p>

    <title>CBD Skincare: THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK</title>

<p> </p>
<p>CBD is the latest trend that has taken the skincare industry by storm. Lauded for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, CBD is increasingly being used as a constituent in skincare products.</p>
<h3><strong>What is CBD? </strong></h3>
<p>CBD, AKA Cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid derived from cannabis plants (like marijuana or hemp). CBD oil is usually extracted from leaves and flowers of the hemp plant, which contains very little THC (TetraHydroCannabinol). Unlike THC, which is the main active constituent of marijuana that gives you a high, CBD is not psychoactive and does not have any mind-altering properties. Hence, it is being greatly vied for its holistic benefits.</p>
<p>Since the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized cannabinoids derived from Industrial hemp containing less than 0.3% THC, CBD has been used commercially for a number of healthcare benefits, most prominently epilepsy, anxiety, and depression. And now, CBD in skincare is the latest fast-rising trend.</p>

<h3>
<strong>Is CBD Same as Hemp Oil </strong><strong>?</strong>
</h3>
<p>Both are often confused as being one and used interchangeably but CBD oil is not the same as Hemp seed oil. While CBD oil is derived from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant and is rich in cannabidiol, hemp seed oil, as the name suggests, is derived from hemp seeds and contains trace amounts of CBD. While hemp seed oil is in itself packed with a number of beneficial fatty acids, CBD oil comes with its own set of unique benefits.</p>
<p>CBD oil is increasingly being marketed by skincare brands for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. CBD oil is usually diluted with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil and is completely safe for use topically on the skin. Since it does not contain psychoactive substances in any significant concentration, you need not be afraid of it giving you a high or any other unwanted psychological effects.</p>
