e all grew up being pampered with long massage sessions as we were told that they were essential to
maintain healthy hair. Come monsoon and we get so tied up with updating our essentials for the season that
we neglect basic beauty rituals. A lot of women experience deterioration in the hair quality and deal with
excessive breakage, which cannot really be fixed with make-up or tactful dressing.

BIOLAGE Advanced FIBERSTRONG is the next generation of hair care by MATRIX, specially created to make weak, fragile
and brittle hair 12X STRONGER with just one treatment*! Fiberstrong combines the goodness of Nature with BAMBOO,
which promotes the elasticity of hair strands and INTRA-CYLANE that fills in the gaps and seals cuticles to reduce
breakage.

 A monsoon magic trick
for smooth hair!
Biolage 6-in-1 Deep Smoothing Serum from MATRIX
is your best bet against frizz.
By Shefali Samdria

T
he summer heat has everyone
frazzled and begging for the
monsoon. Those cool showers
soothe the heat but bring oodles
of humidity to the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, frizz and humidity are
best friends!

What is humidity and how

is it related to frizz?
Humidity is the amount of water
vapour in the air. When exposed to
high humidity levels, hair absorbs
too much water from the air, causing
the cuticle to swell, become tough,
thereby creating frizz. Therefore
more humidity = more frizz.

The rainy season brings maximum

humidity which is disastrous for your
hair. No matter how well you style
your hair or use styling products, it
can undo the style within minutes.
And whats worse, this is a permanent
feature of the monsoon months which
means sticky and/or frizzy hair every
day no matter if you shampoo or
blow-dry every day.

In 2005, Matrix India introduced their

iconic Biolage 6-in-1 Deep Smoothing
Serum which is Indias 1st Professional
6-in-1 Serum that offers six benefits
in one product. The serum, which is
a favourite with women across India,
has been voted by 25,000
consumers as the Best

n this sweltering summer heat, the idea of styling
and maintaining long hair seems like a daunting
task, doesnt it? But this doesnt have to translate to
chopping off your wonderful tresses and giving up
that gorgeous feminine look. By launching the all new

Global Ambassador Patrick Cameron showed us that you
do not need to lose your length to manage your locks this

often electric and theatrical, complete with music and

to showcase step-by-step looks and
demonstrations to the hairdressers that
struggle with styling long hair.

34 June 2015
Can you throw some light on your
love for dressing long hair?
Most of my female clients had long
hair during my training and wanted to
keep it that way. I was never happy just
trimming and blow-drying. I always
wanted to keep them simple and
elegant and used to dress the hair up
whenever I got the chance. This was
something I found I could really excel in.
Where do you draw your
inspiration from when it comes to
creating new hairstyles?
I get my inspiration from a variety of

different sources. I am lucky enough to
have travelled the world and I continue
to do so with my work, so inspiration

you come across. Easy Collection. How did your idea
come into being?
The Pink collection is put together to
show hairdressers how easy it is to
style long hair. That is why I created 20
easy step-by-step looks to show the
hairdressers how to really work with
long hair and how to get the hair to look
modern. This collection is dedicated more
to hairdressers and stylists than to the
customers. I believe that the more that
you share your ideas with other people,
the more room there is for creativity. I
observe hairdressers all over the world. I
am a big movie lover and take some ideas
from the movies and magazines that I
come across. Through this collection, I
want to help the aspiring stylists who face
difficulties in dressing and creating looks
for long hair.
What goes into creating a new
collection such as yours? Do tell us
something about the process?
I think of myself as a hairdressers
hairdresser. I love training, doing shows,
seminars, photo shoots and TV work. For
creating new styles and looks, it requires
extensive research, immense patience
and perseverance. I draw inspirations
from whatever happens around me and

event watch
Do share some quick
hairstyling tips that
you swear by with
our readers.
Adding softness and texture to
the hair is the best way of styling
long hair. To the hairstylists, my
advice would be to know your
craft from all angles. Learning
constantly and innovating styling
techniques is what is required to
be an expert. Since most Indian
women have long and wavy
hair, using different products like
System Professional Luxe Oil
works brilliantly with wavy hair;
it acts as a great protectant and
helps in styling the hair. System
Profession-al Keratin Boost is
also an amazing product as it
puts conditioning agents into
the hair. It is a synthetic molecule
that boosts the protein into the
hair that helps protect the hair
from heat and humidity.
How important is education and
training when it comes to the
profession of hairdressing?
I think it is really important for people
in our profession to constantly work on
things and keep themselves updated
with the new trends coming up every
now and then.
Describe your hairdressing
philosophy in one line.
Keep it simple!
Do share a piece of advice for
budding hairstylists.
I think my advice to anyone would be
to find something they are good at
i.e. coloring, cutting or even long hair
and excel in that particular aspect.
Dont just be good at itbe great at it.
Also, keep learning from whatever and
whoever you come across. Absorbing
from the environment and keeping
abreast with new fashion trends and
techniques are keys to success in
this industry.

a doughnut shaped bun with a single wooden pin and I was
floored. I approached her and learnt how this way of wearing

The oldest known record of hairstyling is from 30,000 years ago.

In ancient civilizations, womens hair was often elaborately and
carefully dressed in special ways, Roman women wore their hair
in complicated styles and wore them as long as possible until the
Middle Ages. During the Roman age as well as in the 16th century
in the western world, women began to wear their hair in extremely
ornate styles and hairstyles slowly started reflecting popular cultural
movements and philosophies that continue even today. We present

women maintain silky hair
through minimal shampooing

This is one tradition that ceases

Afro-textured hair appears

the commonest style was

ran his own TIGI salon in Germany
for over 15 years. He leads the TIGI

Director Taiwan & Asia South

Ralf Boss!
50 June 2015
You knew you wanted to be a
hairdresser at 13. How did you
reach this decision at such a
tender age?
My parents always accompanied
me to get my haircut, but one fine
day I decided to go by myself for
it. I chose a new hair salon and
while I was getting my hair cut, I
looked around and just loved the
atmosphere. At that moment I
decided that this will be my job.
Even my parents respected my
decision and four years later, I
finally started my hairdressing and
hairstyling career.

Please share your education
background and early days of
pursuing your passion for
hairdressing.
I was blessed with my parents
support. I started with learning the
basics from a hairdressing school in
Germany for the first six months; post
which, I started working in a salon.
But, to find the ideal one, I had to
switch three salons in just two years. I
got the best exposure with the salon
where the owner took me to London
for Vidal Sassoon and Toni&Guy
seminars twice a year. Apart from this,
I trained myself a lot to bring out the
best in me.
Coming to your first salon
Cosmic Stylers, what was your
core philosophy and vision for
this venture?
The salon design that I created was
very special for me, the concept
being, Hairdresser Aliens Landed
on Earth and Opened a Salon. I
designed the interiors to look like a
UFO; the walls were painted silver,
the reception was carved round and
had egg shaped mirrors. I didnt just
conceptualize the salon but also
helped in its building by charting
the interior design blueprint. With
loud music and super cool stylists, it
became the trendiest salon in town.
Every hairdresser dreams of his
own salon but few realize the
challenges and early struggles;
Could you please share your
own experiences?
Charting out a solid business plan
came naturally to me, thanks to my
father who, being a banker, was very
good with numbers. I clearly knew
how many customers and how much
I would need to charge per day to
cover all my costs. I had learned a lot
in these 15 years.
expert talk
Since then, you have taken up
the mantle for TIGI in Taiwan
and Asia South Pacific. Our
readers would love to hear the
highlights of such a prolific
journey!
To lead the Taiwan Academy was
already my dream from the time
I lived in Shanghai. The people in
Taiwan reminded me of Europe, they
are nice, educated and friendly. I also
married a Japanese woman and have
three kids; this place makes me feel
homely. Coming back to the question,
it is not an easy job to keep the
Academy busy. It takes a lot of time
to get enough students to keep the
academy working. We need around
1,000 paid admissions per year to
make it work perfectly.
Please share your advice to
young and aspiring hairstylists.
The best advice that I could give
to the young hairstylist is that they
should follow their heart, keep the
passion alive and train themselves
to overcome their weaknesses. This
way, one can get the best out of their
potential. After all, hairdressing is the
best job on earth!

Slowly but surely, you gained a

Cut, colour and stylewhich of
these did you aspire to excel in
intitially?
To become a hairstylist in Germany,
you start with cleaning and assisting,
as is the case everywhere else.
After that, you learn basic colouring
(global applications), perming and
highlighting, post which they finally
teach you to cut. Ideally, the first step
of learning/assisting takes three years
where you are schooled and then you
practice at a salonits called the dual
system of learning. I always believed
that changing a persons look with a
haircut is more fun but the haircut
will only work when complemented
with beautiful colour.
profile as a mentor and Art
director for TIGI Germany. How
did that come about?
I started to work very early to
promote and help TIGIs growth in
Germany and my salon acted like a
showcase for TIGI as a brand. For the
four years that I was the Ambassador
for TIGI, I was one of their New Wild
Generation Guys and after that I
became an Art Director at TIGI. Now,
I train the next generation with the
same enthusiasm as I witnessed
during my training.
You worked and taught
extensively in China. What were
the unique challenges and
learnings of working in such a
different culture and industry?
I didnt feel any difference in the
industry and the culture was
more shocking for me than the
environment. It took six months for
me to understand the behaviour
and psyche. After the initial hitches, I
successfully conducted around 300
seminars in around 30 cities in China. I
must say, China has taught me a lot.

 Gear Up!
As you prepare for that much awaited, relaxing holiday, dont forget to care for
your beautiful tresses! SHAHNAZ HUSAIN tells you how to pack a punch with
your hair despite your busy schedule during your travels.

52 June 2015

All Images shutterstock.com
T
ravel adds a wonderful dimension to
ones life. It is not only refreshing and
rejuvenating but also a great learning
experience. You may be travelling for
work or may be on vacation, you may
have a hectic schedule or a relaxed one,
the fact remains that you are away from
home at the time and means to care for yourself and
make yourself attractive are not easily available. So,
here are some tips to limit your grooming needs, yet
make you look attractive and feel comfortable!
Travelling light has its advantages, so you need items
that are compact and portable. Get yourself a spacious
shoulder bag and two small, plastic-lined cases for your
toiletries and make-up. Your beauty aids should be
within easy reach. Before setting out on your journey,
have your hairstyling done, including a colouring job.
A short hairdo that can be brushed and set easily
hair care
is a good option. If youre someone with long hair,
take a headband and hair clips to keep your hair tidy.
Remember to take a scarf along to protect your hair
from exposure to the sun, wind and dust. You will need
it especially if you are out motoring, boating, trekking or
just strolling.
There are things that you must remember to pack to
protect your hair and also keep it looking good. Whether
its a beach destination or a hill station, carry a hair cream
or serum that contains sunscreen. Actually, the effects
of sun-exposure are much more near reflective surfaces,
like water and snow. You also need to take a mild herbal
shampoo, oil and conditioner. A small hairdryer would
be very useful in both destinations. You can take along
herbal hair mascara for temporary streaks to add that
touch of glamour when you dine out; the effect lasts till
the next shampoo. You may carry rollers or a heating rod
to style the hair yourself if you want to go all out.
June 2015 53
 For the beach, a swimming cap
would help to protect the hair from
the sun. Since sea water makes the
hair rough and dry, dont forget
to apply a leave-in conditioner
or serum. Take a small pea-sized
amount of it, smear on both palms
and glide them over the hair.
Alternately, massage it lightly into
the hair before you set your hair in
the desired style. Wash the hair with
less shampoo and apply conditioner
or hair serum again for protection.

In a warm and humid climate,

the hair may need to be washed
frequently. Simply rinse your
hair instead of using a creamy
conditioner. You can even make your
own hair rinsing mixture in the hotel
room. For this, add a tea bag to four
to five cups of warm water. Remove
the tea bag and cool the water. Then
add the juice of a lemon and use it
as a last rinse. This helps to make the
hair silky and shiny.

If you are holidaying in the mountains

and the weather is cold and dry, the
hair may lack moisture. Apply oil,
leaving it on overnight and use a mild
herbal shampoo in the morning. After
shampooing, dont forget to use a
creamy conditioner, massaging it
lightly into your hair, focussing on the
ends of your hair.

You can arrange for natural Hair and beauty expert

ingredients for hair care very easily
when you are travelling. Among
these are tea bags, lemons, beer,
etc. For dry hair, use a beer rinse.
After you shampoo, pour the juice
of a lemon to beer all over your hair.
Leave on for five minutes and rinse
off with plain water. For oily hair,
lemon juice can be used for the
last rinse.
A few quick fixes or emergency
treatments for the hair can really be
useful while travelling, especially if
you have a hectic schedule. When
you have no time to shampoo, put a
little Eau De Cologne on your brush
and brush your hair. Cologne absorbs
oil and leaves your hair cleaner and
fragrant. In warm and humid weather,
add the juice of a lemon and half

a cup of rose water to a mug of
water and use it as a last rinse. If
you suddenly find that your hair has
too much static i.e. a fly away hair
problem, just run damp hands all over
your hair and avoid brushing them
too much.
Travelling across time zones at
high speed means dealing with
jet lag, dry skin and frizzy hair. Eat
light meals during the flight. Salads
and fruits should help ward off
symptoms of jet-lag. Water and fruit
juices will help in preventing loss of
body fluids. If its a long flight, take
a walk down the aisle every two or
three hours. Lastly, relax and dont
forget to enjoy your journey!

Angelo Vallillo
Who have you styled recently?
A few examples are Douglas Booth and
Gracie Carvalho for DRAMA magazine,
David Gandy for GQ magazine and
Leslie Mann at this years Oscars.
How is the relationship generally
between celebrity and stylist when
youre given the task of styling an A-lister for a big event?
Its crucial to research a bit about the individual before you
turn up to the shoot or hotel room. You need to have an idea
in advance about what looks good on them and to have
some images in your mind about what will suit them. I nd it
best to work with the clients expectations, but always give
them something they havent had before. It doesnt need to
be a massive change, just as long as you leave your stamp
on it.
How soon after your booking do you start planning a
stars look?
I like to start planning as soon as Im booked up. Ill
research the celebrity online and then talk to them and the
photographer or publicist about what their expectations are
so Im on their wavelength. That way Im well prepared, and
Ive been able to nd my inspiration from them and the latest

When styling, do you go with the stars preferences, or do
they just trust your vision?
The relationship between celebrity and stylist is very much
based on trust and discretionmore often than not, the
client will be totally open and willing to trust the hair experts
vision. Choosing a hairstyle is often the very last process, as
it has to work with everything else like the dress, the shoes,
and the make-up quite often the hairstylist ends up helping
with choosing the outt too!
Do you have interesting stories from the all-important day
of styling?
There are lots weve seen it all, from last-minute changes
of mind and models arriving 15 minutes before show time,
to private jets being hired when a client only wants one
particular stylist! Shows and events are always highly
pressurised, but that just adds to the atmosphere and theres
nothing more satisfying than seeing your nished look in all
its glory!
Paul Stafford
What kind of work do you get typically
called in for?
We get called in mostly for shoots,
lms or concerts, visiting celebrities
like Ellie Goulding, Gillian Anderson
or Jamie Dornan. There seems to be
lots of movies and high-production TV
programmes being made in Northern
Ireland at the moment and we get many calls. Mostly well
try to accommodate the celebrity on set or at their hotel, but
some prefer to come to the salon to be looked after. Its a
nice atmosphere and it can be very private.
Is there anything you usually need to do to the celebritys
hair before the event, such as deep conditioning, colour
change and so on?
Before any major event there is always a consultation to
consider what pressures and stresses the hair is going to be
under, especially if the celebrity has had other services and
treatments done elsewhere or on the road, or where the
condition is less than perfect. Its imperative we talk to the
advisers as well as the celebrity, just so we understand what
limitations we are under.
How long do you spend planning the stars look? Give us a
run-down of the process.
Actually, you never get much time to plan a look. Its usually
a picture sent in advance and then a few phone calls, unless
its an awards event then you are briefed in advance and
will have time to develop the look. Even then, the celeb is too
busy to attend trials, so in a lot of cases you have to do the
run-through on a stand-in.

 EAT PRAY LOVE
The story of one womans mid-life crisis and a long and fulfilling journey of self-discovery.

Incidentally, the way we wear our hair is an expression of our moods, not only
in that moment but also of where we are in our lives. In the upper half of the
poster, Julia Roberts character has embarked on a journey of self-discovery,
a jumble of nervousness and apprehension, punctuated by joy and laughter.
Roberts looks happy here but has a long way to go in her journey, her soft
brown hair, relaxed yet tied up in an inconspicuous ponytail, keeping with
her casual look. Her hair in the bottom half, towards the climax of the movie
however says a different story. Roberts character has finally found love; her
light blonde hair left open and naturally wavy now, indicative of the long
journey she has been on and at last found peace.

gorgeous body, fabulous clothes and most importantly, the perfect hair. Much has been said
about the role costumes play in building an on-screen character, but how much do their
hairstyles speak for the characters they portray?

Diane Lanes character buys a villa in
Tuscany, hoping her Tuscan life can

optimism and positive outlook can be
gauged from her smile as well as her
radiant brown waves, swept sideways. The
hairstyle itself is quite simple and no frills
but the bouncy and healthy hair liven up
her face, exuding a certain thrill you see in
someone whos excited at the prospect
of starting life anew. As the movie
progresses, we see Lanes hair undergo
many a different looks, switching between
a shade of burnt orange and soft blonde.

Minimum efforts, maximum styleHENA DESAI tells you how you can achieve
the perfect hairstyle while youre setting out for your next summer trip.
Effortlessly Cute
This style requires
minimal effort, ensuring
that you exude a
boyish charm. Work
with freshly washed
hair and use gel to
set it, while allowing
it to dry naturally. All
you need to do is pop
on some shades and
youre good to go!
Boho Boy
If youre one with curly
hair, then its time to go
down the boho route and
channel your inner hipster.
Blow-dry your hair, letting
it take its own shape. Using
your ngers, apply hair gel
to the hair at the front so
as to keep them away from
the face. Also, adding John
Lennon glasses to this look
is never a bad idea.
All Images shutterstock.com
The Male Hair Bun
Long hair can be very
attering on men, if
groomed right. If youre
one of those with the
trendy shoulder length hair,
dont trade them in for a
shorter cut to deal with
the scorching heat! Just
like Jared Leto, wear your
hair in a bun and watch as
the ladies swoon. Opt for
a messy style when out
casually and go in for a
slicker style of a hair bun for
formal events.
76 June 2015
Swept Over
All you beach bums
out there, this ones
for you! Add some
texturising spray to
damp hair and simply
use your ngers to
tousle your hair and
give it direction. Take
some moulding paste
or pomade onto your
ngers and work it
into your hair to help
hold the style.
Corporate Candy
For your work trip, a
slick, neat look is always
a good idea. Work some
hair gel into your damp
hair, combing the hair
backwards, maintaining
clean, sharp lines. Go
in for a clean shave as
well, or a neatly trimmed
beard that wont lead to
you compromising on a
professional yet sexy look.
Accessorise Right
For all the times that
your hair acts stubborn
or to simply stay away
from putting in effort into
styling your hair when out,
wearing hair accessories
such as a hat, beanie or
cap is ideal. Macho and
trendy, this will ensure that
your hair stays clean, rid
of impurities and
protected from the harsh
summer sun.

This crazy world will always manage to

amuse you with its approach to beauty. POOJA
RAISINGHANI brings to you some of the
weirdest spa treatments from around the globe!

941 June 2015

 extreme spas

KILN SAUNA
The Korean way to rejuvenate your senses could almost completely burn you alive. Almost.
The kiln sauna, also known as the han jeung mak, is actually a setting to make charcoal,
which acts like a human furnace when the temperature cools down to 200 degrees Celsius
from its original 1400 degrees Celsius. Its known to make you sweat through every pore
and drain the various toxins out of your body. Youll find yourself wrapped in a jute blanket
in a cave-like structure with burnt pine or oak tree wood all around. Since the decline in the
demand of charcoal, kilns are a rare sight but you can now find their modernised version
called Jimjilban. So, do you care for an intense sauna?

SAKE SPA
Trust the Japanese to actually execute the weirdest of ideas. The Hakone hot springs
theme park is known for staging pools of sake, the classic rice wine of Japan. The people
love diving into the strangest of things like coffee or ramen noodles to being with.
Although, we shant try to decode their thought process but it sure sounds fun.

BEER BATH
Hasnt it always been a fantasy to dive into a pool filled with beer by the end of a long
day? Well, the Czechs dared to make it happen. The concept of beer essence for our
beautification is not alien to us but this is taking it way too far, isnt it? Youll find yourself in
barrels or tubs filled with beer by the brewers exclusive recipe. Not just that, youll also be
served unlimited beer of your preference to keep you hydrated through the process. So let
go of the stress in the best possible way!

CRYOTHERAPY
Ever imagined living in Antarctica? The only land down south that mercilessly shrugs away
us humans with its extreme temperatures. Not being able to handle defeat, we seemed
to have dialled it up a notch by coming up with something all the more devastating.
Cryotherapy, the most extreme form of relaxation that might even end up redefining spas,
or at least challenge the soothing sensation we associate with our extensive spa sessions.
Youre lured into what can only be described as the coldest chamber on the planet. Your
mind would be baffled by the intensity of adrenaline rushing through your body; were
talking -130 degrees Celsius; that officially frowns upon Antarctica, which flaunts merely -92
degrees Celsius at its best. The ecstatic stimulation makes your body release endorphins,
the happy hormones, proven to instantly relieve pain. The moment your body gets back to
the room temperature after the quick session, your blood vessels expand and give you a
healing effect. Its quite famous amongst the athletes now that its spreading far and wide.
Make sure you awaken the adventurer in you and experience it all!

To get this gorgeous look, begin by

prepping your skin with a primer,
which will give you the perfect base
to apply your make-up. Using a
blending brush, apply foundation
to your face, followed by concealer,
specially focussing around the eyes
to hide any dark circles. For the
eyes, apply a light silver eye-shadow
all over your lids and swipe on a
thin line of liquid liner. Keep the eye
make-up minimal but dont forget
to add oodles of mascara to your
lashes. Apply a rosy, luminiscent
blush to the apples of your cheeks
and swipe on a nude brown lipstick
to finish off the look.

T
ravelling during the
summer can be a lot
of fun. But just like any
other season, skin care
during the summer is
also very important.
Summer makes the oil
glands go into overdrive and makes
the skin a breeding ground for skin
problems such as dullness, acne
and excess oil production. Also, the
harsh rays of the sun, high humidity
and heat may lead to skin tanning,
pigmentation, break-outs, rashes and
clogged pores. If you hit the pool
to cool off, then remember that the
chlorine in the water may cause the
skin to dry out.

While these may seem like potential

dampeners for your summer fun,
they can be tackled with ease while
you are at home. But, when youre
travelling in the summer months, you
will need to be a little more careful.
Whether you are traveling by car or
plane, or for business or pleasure,
you may follow these tips during
your summer travel under the direct
supervision of a dermatologist to
preserve the youthful glow of your
skin, make your travel more relaxing
and leave your skin well taken care of.

Glow
on the Go
Skin care during travel, especially in summers, can be quite a daunting task.
Our expert DR. VARUN KATYAL, is here to help you deal with these issues.
106 June 2015

1. Choose products
according to your
skin type
You should understand your skin
type and your skins needs and
concerns well and learn about
the ingredients that are vital for
your skins health so that you can
choose which products to pack
and which to leave behind. This
may also help you simplify your
regimen so that your skin looks
fine even with fewer products.
2. Take only those products
with you that are vital for
your skin
When travelling, you must carry
the essentials as follows:
Cleanser: Your skin is exposed to
dirt, grime and dust while you are
travelling. Choose an appropriate
cleanser which can not only
remove these and your make-up
but which also tones the skin. Do
make sure that it does not strip
your skin off the vital oils and
over-dry the skin.
Moisturiser and sunscreen: Use
a light water-based moisturiser
after cleansing. Never step
outside without using a good
broad-spectrum sunscreen with
an SPF of at least 30, which is
preferably water resistant. Apply
the sunscreen at least 20 minutes
before stepping out. Do not
forget to carry your sunscreen
around with you and re-apply
every two hours or after you

Lip care products: Lips can
dry and chap in any kind
of weather. Travelling into
different climates may also
take a toll on your lips. You
should use a lip care product
preferably having an SPF
regularly while travelling,
to keep your lips healthy,
sunburn-free and to avoid
dryness and chapping.
Eye Contour skin care
product: An appropriate eye
contour skin care product
can help to guard as well as
hydrate the sensitive skin
around the eyes and prevent
and reduce dark circles, fine
lines and puffiness in the eye
contour area during your
hectic travel schedule as well.
Scrub: Travel can trigger the
accumulation of dead skin
cells. Sloughing off these dead
skin cells appropriately using
an exfoliating scrub can make
your skin softer and smoother.
3. It is a Must to maintain
at least a basic skin care
regimen
Maintaining a basic skincare
regime is the key component of
looking after your skin even while
you are travelling. You may pare
down your skincare steps to the
absolute essentials while travelling.
June 2015 107
 Some other vital tips:
While travelling do not apply a lot of
make-up. Approximately 30-40 minutes
before you reach your destination,
cleanse your face and apply your
moisturiser and sunscreen as usual.
Find out if the skin care line you use
makes a travel set. Several reputed skin
care brands make travel kits. Packaged
in miniature bottles and clear reusable
bags adhering to travel regulations,
these kits are convenient to carry and
use when travelling.
Prepare yourself in advance and take a
proper supply of the essential skin care
products and cosmetics you plan to use.
Travelling anywhere can be a dirty
experience. It would be smart to carry a
hand sanitizer for those times when you
cannot find a sink and soap to clean your
hands.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine to maintain
skin hydration.
Especially while travelling, you should
always drink plenty of water. The air, train
or road travel can really dry up your skin.
Water will help fight the dryness and
keep your skin hydrated and supple.

Try a littleVitamin
C this summer
We present Skeyndors newest offering for glowing,
flawless skin!

By Shefali Samdria

I
n our tropical country, our skin is overexposed to ultraviolet
radiation and environmental pollutants. This accelerates
skin aging by degrading collagen and triggering oxidative
stress in the skin. But, there is an ancient remedy used by
our ancestors to heal their skin; this can help overcome these
undesirable effects. And its none other than vitamin C!

Vitamin C is an essential component in the bodys production

of collagen 1 and 2 and a potent antioxidant that can help
rejuvenate aged and photodamaged skin. While vitamin C
is an important nutrient for overall health, little reaches the
skin when orally ingested. As levels of vitamin C in the skin
decline with age, replenishing levels directly in the skin can
help combat collagen degradation and oxidative stress. Results
from clinical trials show that when applied topically i.e. directly
on skin, vitamin C tends to promote collagen formation and
mitigates the effects of free radicals, helping maintain a firm
and youthful skin.

What makes topical vitamin C preparations so important?

Humans and a few other species lack the ability to produce
the vitamin C that is so vital for beautiful, healthy skin. To
make things even more challenging, vitamin C is water-soluble.
This is why the vitamin C we ingest gets excreted rapidly. The
most effective method for replenishing vitamin C in the skin
is therefore to go straight to the source, and apply it directly
to the skin because applying vitamin C to the skin is 20 times
more effective than oral ingestion.

For this purpose, Skeyndor has launched the Pure C

Concentrate 7.5%. This is a shock treatment for recovering the
skins luminosity and radiance in just a few sessions and has
a high concentration of ascorbic acid and other natural acids
that rapidly improve the skins appearance. You can apply a
single product dose every day to cleanse skin for two weeks
and massage the product gently into
the face and neckline until it has
penetrated. So if you
feel the summer
has made your
skin dull and
damaged, give
this a try!

TIME TO
CLEAN UP
Weve heard so much
about detoxingeveryone
from celebrities to fitness
freaks swear by it. TANVI
DESHMUKH lets you in on
the whys and hows of a
complete detox.
T
his season demands for
you to take up programs to
get your body detoxified in
order to save yourself from
infections and diseases. We
are often exposed to food or air that
spoils the system of our body, thus
causing some internal functional errors.
Hence, its very important to cleanse
your body regularly to live a healthy
and happy life. A simple detox program
can help you get rid of all the unwanted
substances from your system, improve
proper functioning of all the body
parts, which in turn leads to a healthy
and happy lifestyle. Therefore, were
going to tell you easy ways to detox
your body at home all by yourself. You
can also indulge in self-pampering spas
and massages that have become a new
trend for detoxification.

WHY IS IT NECESSARY?
Detoxification is necessary for blood
purification. Irregular food habits,
consumption of junk food and the
many pollutants affect our normal
metabolism. Hence, it is important to
purify the blood and eliminate toxins
from our body.
HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT IS
REQUIRED
Some of the common symptoms that
highlight the need for detoxification
are as follows:
 Skin problems
 Hormonal Changes
 Allergies
 Mental tensions
detox diaries
Foods
1. Raw foods: Avoid processed or prepared foods. Raw foods contain
nutrients and enzymes which can be consumed by adding a bowl of
salad to your meal daily.
2. Fibre foods: Brown rice and organically grown veggies and fruits contain
high amounts of fibres that help to cleanse the system.
3. Super foods: Super foods arent only low fat foods, but they also contain
nutrients that help to eliminate harmful toxins or substances from our
body. Veggies or fruits such as blueberries, spinach, tomatoes, carrots,
oranges, apples, almonds, and avocado are excellent and should be
made a part of your daily meals.
4. Detox diets: If youre a person who can have control over your food
intake, then detox diets are for you. There are different diets for 4 or 7 or
10 days that can be chosen depending on your problem. However, they
are effective only if followed strictly. To know which suits you best, we
suggest you to talk to a nutritionist.

WAYS TO DETOX
Coming to the point, here are different
ways to detoxify your body with their
respective effects on your skin, beauty
and overall well-being:

Liquids

1. Water helps in major

metabolic processes
in our body and in
maintaining the balance of
our body salts. Try to drink at
least eight glasses of water daily.
2. You can replace your meals with
detoxifying smoothies as it helps in
getting rid of unnecessary substances
from your body. A fresh veggie juice
every morning can do wonders too!
3. Lemon juice has been one of the traditional
methods of detoxification. Drinking a mixture
of half a lemon squeezed in a glass of hot
water every day before breakfast has always
been effective.
4. Although you do not need to completely
eliminate coffee, it is necessary to limit your
intake. Hence, do replace coffee with green
tea as it contains antioxidants.
5. For all the alcohol drinkers, make turmeric
a part of your meal as it help stimulate
the liver and also helps improve your
overall health.

June 2015 113

 LIFESTYLE HABITS
Yoga: It helps in improving mental as well as physical health
and is the purest and most natural form of cleansing, as it
makes you work on your circulatory system, helping you
breathe out the harmful substances and inhale fresh oxygen.
No smoking/ alcohol: For many of you it may be difficult
but elimination of these two habits are a must. Cigarettes do
not only contain nicotine but also 4000 other toxins. Similarly,
consumption of alcohol does no good to your body. However,
if youre unable to quit drinking then limit your intake to once a
week.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture has been a part of holistic
medicine and helps to clean any blockages of toxins in the
body. Its a very relaxing process where in small needless are
placed on areas of the skin which may be causing pain or
discomfort. It helps to release zones in the body that may be
blocked by toxins, thus cleansing and purifying your body.
Sleep: Recent studies have shown a connection between
sleep and cognitive function, hence its important to get a good
sleep of seven to nine hours to help maintain a healthy brain.
Stress management: You may not be able to get rid of it,
but you can definitely respond to stress differently. Try to be
positive at all times and have positive thoughts as it will help
boost your health. Also, taking a deep breath before speaking
can help you control your stress levels.

PAMPER
Massage: Weve always loved some
pampering, havent we? A detox massage
is excellent to get rid of toxic waste
because of the rhythmic strokes that
stimulate the body. It enhances the
immune system, strengthens the muscles
and toughens the connective tissues.
Swedish or Chinese massages are also
very effective and they help in normalizing
oxygen levels in the body while giving you
a relaxed feeling.

Sauna
Sweating it out is the best way to detox.
Studies have shown that saunas help
remove solvents, organic chemicals
and heavy metal toxins from the body.
Spending time in sauna can also give your
immune system a boost.

Stimulation
Brushing your skin with a fine bristle brush
helps to exfoliate toxins from the skin and
stimulate circulation. You can do this by
using a loofah or natural fibre body brush
on your skin by brushing with firm circular
strokes before you jump in the shower; this
will help in skin detoxification and aid in
better blood circulation.

Vikram
A The best time to shave is right
after shower, when your facial hair is
comparatively softer, pliable and
easy to shave, making the skin less
prone to cuts, bumps, etc. Pick a
shaving cream that has high
concentration of lubricants and
moisturisers, for a smooth shave use
the razor in the direction of the
hair-growth. Use a sharp razor and
change your razor blades often. After
your shave, slather a good quality
moisturiser or an after-shave lotion
that contains balm and moisturiser
to replace lost moisture and soothe
the skin. Apply fresh aloe vera gel to
soothe the existing bumps and cuts
and use alum solution to disinfect.

armpits are hair-free and go for regular

All Things
Apricots!
This tasty fruit packs in nutrients and serves as a great skin food as
well! BRINDA GILL tells you how this delectable delight benefits you.

C
ultivated in regions blessed with a cool climate,
apricots are believed to have been carted across
trade routes from China to the Mediterranean
Europe and then across the world for the delight
of fruit lovers. Bursting with delicate aromas and taste,
these sweet, juicy golden-orange fruits with velvety
skin are a lovely summer treat. Dried, using different
techniques, they are available throughout the year, making
them an easy, nutritious and satiating snack that can be
conveniently carried and enjoyed whilst travelling as well.

APRICOT OIL
Apricot oil is obtained by pressing the
kernel, the almond- like seed inside the
shell in the heart of the fruit. The oil is
light in texture, has a mild fragrance, is
easily absorbed, and is a good source of
nourishment for the skin. Apricot kernel
oil has excellent anti-ageing properties
as it has essential fatty acids that
nourish the skin. Its application helps
firm and nourish the skin, improves skin
elasticity, relieves dryness and makes skin
soft and supple. It can be used for young
and mature skin and is well suited for dry
and normal skin, explains Rahul Kale. Enjoy
the sweet smelling, smooth and revitalised
complexion with the goodness of apricots!

Rahul Kale, Co-Founder, Iraya, believes apricots have

amazing skin benefits. He has a few easy suggestions
on using fresh apricots and apricot kernel oil:
 The flesh of fresh apricots, mashed and applied on
the face, leaves it nourished and refreshed.
 Add half a teaspoon of sugar to fresh apricot pulp.
This blend can be applied as a mask and gently
rubbed off for intense exfoliation.
 For dry and normal skin, apricot oil may be
applied and gently massaged on the face. It
can be blended with sweet almond oil for an
added nourishment.

Tasty, nutritious, easy to digest, high in bre,  For those with an oily complexion, it is
preferable to blend a few drops of apricot

added to food, to beverages and desserts.
FULL OF GOODNESS
Narratives state that apricot was the only fruit tree on Noahs Ark as
it was deeply valued. They were called `golden eggs of the Sun by
the ancient Greeks, who were delighted by the fruit brought back by
the armies of Alexander the Great from their incursions in the East.
Dried apricots were also traded by the Persians, greatly increasing
their presence and appreciation.

Tasty, nutritious, easy to digest, high in fibre, low calorie and

practically fat-free, apricots steadily came to be enjoyed by
themselves, added to food, to beverages and desserts. Their
lovely blush-orange colour indicates the presence of beta-
carotene, an antioxidant with health benefits that include
making the skin soft, supple, elastic and healthy.

Apricots are a source of iron and potassium, and

provide Vitamin C that helps build immunity and
maintain healthy skin. As apricots have pectin, a
soluble fibre, they are credited with helping reduce
LDL cholesterol. People living in the Hunza Valley in
Pakistan enjoy good health, which has been linked
to their regular consumption of apricots that are
grown locally. They also have good skin that has been
attributed to their applying of pure apricot kernel oil to
their skin, says Rahul Kale, Co-Founder, Iraya. June 2015 117
