G
p
one are the days when youd
run your fingers through your
hair and play it like a soulful
harp. Your tresses have gotten a bit
too fussy this season with the irregular
heat and humidity. Were here to guide
you through these distressing times
in a stylish manner. There is a stigma
associated with using too many heating
tools on your hair but then weve all
known at least someone who styles
their hair so very frequently without any
traces of damage. Although, we dont
encourage this behaviour, weve just
observed that many have figured out a
way to do it right and we shant stand
the fact that you arent one of them. So
behold the techniques that didnt come
with the manual.
Limit your exposure: Jumping
out of the shower and falling under the
dryer is the worst thing you could do to
yourself. Either wrap your head in a towel
turban or air dry about 80% of your hair
and then blow-dry to style it. Never use a
hair straightener on wet strands.

Make smart sections: You dont
have to numb your arms by dividing
your strands into a million sections;
just four are enough. Clip the rest up
while youre working on one. Left,
right, front and back; the back of the
head can be divided into two but
thats about it.
Test the air blast: Your scalp
is sensitive as it has always been
extremely protected. Feel the heat
on the back of your hand before
exposing it to your hair for calculated
risks are comparatively safer.
Always use heat protectants
before styling: While heat
protectant serums prevent your
hair from damage caused by hot
styling tools, it is important to choose
products that do not contain alcohol-
based ingredients. The alcohol
content will only make your hair dry,
which is the exact opposite of how
a protecting serum is supposed to
function.
chic zone
Stroke the right way: Always
maintain more than eight inches
distance between the nozzle of
the dryer and your hair. While
straightening, always start from the
roots and iron your way slowly to the
tips; never start mid-way as the lack
of consistency will lead to breakage.
Generously invest about two to three
seconds per strand.
Clean your wand: Make
sure you regularly clean your
magical equipment for an optimal
performance. Dust the back of your
dryer with a tooth brush and you
could use baby wipes for your hair
straighter among other options.

 Sebastians Gallery Jam session was back with a bang,
bringing together hairstyling powerhouses from across
the country for an innovative and creative gathering that
aimed to modernise the 2015 hair trends.

Text by Hena Desai

A
year after its successful and sensational
Sebastian Gallery Jam 2014, Wella
Professionals came back with their event for
the top Sebastian stylists from across the
country. This Jam combined training and
workshop sessions, making it a platform to showcase
international hair trends. These stylists got to witness an
International Hair Show and a chance to participate in a
competitive workshop that aimed at revolutionising the
trending looks for the coming year, shaping the future of
hairstyling yet again.

Spearheading this event was the acclaimed hairstylist

Diva Poulos, Sebastian International Design Artist and
celebrity hairstylist who flew down all the way from San
Francisco for the session. Through the course of the event,
Diva conducted a program on the current hairdressing
trends for the Sebastian stylists, bringing them up-to-
speed with the hottest hair trends. This session worked
out to be an inspirational one, helping the stylists push
their creative boundaries and helping them upgrade their
skills. I have been associated with Sebastian Professional
for more than 20 years now. Sebastians Gallery Jam

by hairstylists too. It was an absolute pleasure to work

With opportunities to be trained under hair
maestros such as Geri Cusenza, Robert Lobetta
and Trevor Soribe, Diva Poulos has made her
mark in the hairdressing industry and has been a
part of the Sebastian family since the mid 90s.
It is because of this experience and expertise
that she is part of the Sebastian International
Artist team and the core Design team from North
America, and is also entrusted with mentoring
new members. Apart from this, she owns a salon
with her husband in San Francisco named Diva
International. Her artistry takes hairdressing to the
next level, well-establishing her esteemed place in
the Sebastian family and the hairdressing industry.

learn techniques of hairstyling, said Diva. Nikhil Sharma,
Sebastian Design Artist was truly exhilarated at having had
an opportunity to work with Diva Poulos. He said, I was
looking forward to working with Diva in India. I have had a
few opportunities of working and learning from her on an
international stage, but this was totally different. Having
her in India and preparing looks with her especially for the
Indian market to inspire the stylists here was truly amazing.
Sharing stage with her was an incredible experience, I
learnt a lot from her.
The Sebastian Gallery Jam 2015 gave the Sebastian stylists
hands-on experience in witnessing and creating hair trends
that are innovative yet capture the essence of Sebastian
Professional in the looks and the techniques used. This
session was a true wonderland for any stylist- one where
creativity flowed no holds barred, where stylists were
encouraged to have a futuristic vision in hairdressing and
were given a platform to showcase their individuality for

A messy ponytail, a sleek one, a high

for absolutely any occasion! For this
sophisticated style, create a centre-
parting in your hair and backcomb the
crown section to give it a teased look.
Use some hairspray onto this teased
section to hold it in place before moving
on. Once the crown is set, pull your hair
back into a high ponytail and secure
it with a hair-tie. Use a strand of hair
from underneath the ponytail and wrap
it around the hair-tie so as to cover
it, adding that touch of sophistication
to the look. This style will take you

feminine yet cool look, adding a fresh
twist to your look at the same time.
Styling a lob isnt a challenge either;
you can leave it unstyled and wavy,
straighten it or curl it, depending on
your mood! To emulate Katys famous
look, work a heat protectant serum
through your hair and blow-dry. Divide
your hair into small sections and using
a curling wand, curl each section.
Comb through your curled hair with
your fingers, breaking the curls apart
to create waves. Once youve covered
all your hair, spritz some hairspray on
to set the curls and youll be good to

SCULPTED TO
PERFECTION
SHEFALI SAMDRIA speaks about
the three trending hairstyles
created by Lakm Salon that you
MUST try this year!
All Images Lakm Salon

L
akms trend mantra for 2015 has been
officially launched as Sculpt. In the same
vein, Lakm Salon further consolidated
this trend at the fashion week with
sculpted hairstyles and make-up that were
both avant-garde and contemporary at the same
time. Think Barcelona with its alluring architecture,
natural construction stones, twisted iron sculptures
and organic like shapes and you will be drawn
to these styles much like we were. Inspired by
contemporary architecture, Sculpt- a versatile trend,
works seamlessly across hair and make-up, and is
available at Lakm Salons across the country.

May 2015 43
 DOUBLE HAT CHIGNON
The chignon has travelled
a long way from ancient
Greece where it first added
glamour to Athenian women.
Traditionally, the chignon was
a smallish bun at the nape of
the neck. Lakm salon has
created its own dramatic
version of this classic low-key
style, inspired by the double
domes commonly seen in
Barcelona. Voluminous hair
sleekly styled in an up-do
that resembles a faux hat,
this style adds oodles of
oomph when needed. With a
sculpted saree gown, this can
even take you back to ancient
times as you make a queenly
entrance at soirees!

44 May 2015
MARSALA STAIRS
The colour of the year deserves
its own dedicated style and this
geometrical piece of art is not for
the faint-hearted! The cascading
hair with abrupt yet sculpted layers
will add a note of Renaissance
modernism to any personality
irrespective of clothing or occasion.
Straightened or crimped, hair is
elevated to a statement rather than
an afterthought and the colour
takes the Sculpt philosophy to a
new stratosphere!

May 2015 45
 CHAMPAGNE SHIMMER
Gold is no more an ornament
but a sentiment. Women
have used gold powder
and pigments for make-
up for a while now and
this style counts on subtly
shimmering pigments. With
this look, bold, precise and
high-definition is back in
vogue, and the sculpt look
if applied right, can deliver
this to perfection. Not only
does it accentuate dominant
features like high cheekbones
and striking eyes, it defines
and highlights sharper facial
features, thereby reinstating
make-up as an art form.

Smooth
Transition
Trying to fix the section between your
chemically treated hair and the fresh
growth but failing miserably? POOJA
RAISINGHANI is here to rescue you!

O
f the multiple things that have
teamed up to make our lives a little
more better and convenient, the
shampoo and conditioner combo is
arguably the best. Although, the conditioner is
fairly new and doesnt really get enough credit,
its a shame to not acknowledge its importance
especially when youre recovering from all the
chemicals you splashed over yourself!

Colouring, rebonding and smoothening are

scribbled eloquently on the list of endless
attempts for making your tresses manageable,
vibrant and trendy. They all tend to suck the
life out of your hair if you fail to maintain a
nourishing routine. That is reflected on the
health of the new batch of hair that peeps
out the roots. We agree that dealing with the
transitioning process is the worst phase ever.
Also, its always wise to choose to wait for
your natural hair to completely grow
back rather than risking a dramatic
chopped off look. Since, shampooing
your hair everyday can adversely
damage your hair; condition even
without washing, it is a viable option
to escape dull hair.

One of the biggest challenges is to

Image shutterstock.com

prevent breakage; the most brittle

zone is where the fresh growth
meets the chemically treated hair.
Berinas Protein Conditioner is
specially enriched with goodness of
proteins that not only nourishes hair
and refurbishes dead locks but also
repairs and restores them completely.
The oil-free formulation acts as a
moisturizer and makes hair silky
smooth. The protein in the conditioner
gets easily absorbed by hair, thereby
nurturing them completely. Regularly
use this innovative hair mask to make
your tresses dramatically stronger,
healthier, smooth and shiny!

 Hair care
for mothers
SHAHNAZ HUSAIN shares the secrets every young mother needs
to know for a yummy-mummy mane!

A
womans body goes through multiple physiological, hormonal
and glandular changes during and after pregnancy. The hormonal
activity usually benefits the hair during pregnancy, because of
higher estrogen levels. Many women recollect that their hair
looked thicker and shinier during this time. Actually, hair normally
grows in three phases: growth, resting and shedding. But, during pregnancy,
due to higher estrogen levels, the growth and resting phases become longer
and the hair falls less. It also looks healthy and thick. Good nutrition, along with
vitamin and mineral supplements also improves the look of the hair. Of course,
stress can trigger off hair problems and hair loss.
48 May 2015

Once or twice a week, heat pure
coconut oil or olive oil and apply on
the hair. Do a hot towel wrap for five
minutes and repeat four times. This
helps the hair and scalp absorb the
oil better.
Go for timely hair cuts and head
massages. I feel that it is better to avoid
chemical dyes and colourants during
pregnancy. Go for natural hair colour,
like henna, or those that contain natural
colourants like indigo, catechu and
henna. They give the hair a blackish
brown colour.
Nutrition is a very important factor for
healthy hair, especially during and after
pregnancy, as well as lactation. The
hair is actually fed by the nutrients in
the blood stream. I would recommend
taking a small bowl of sprouts daily.
Sprouts contain amino acids, which
are very beneficial to the hair. Include
fresh fruits, raw salads, leafy green
vegetables, whole grains, curd and
adequate protein in the diet. Consult
your doctor about it. Along with a
nutritious diet, daily exercise, relaxation,
adequate sleep and a healthy lifestyle
are required for healthy hair growth.
TRY THESE SIMPLE RECIPES
AT HOME:
 Dandruff often triggers hair loss.
Apply two tablespoons apple cider
vinegar before shampoo. After
shampoo, add two tablespoons
vinegar to a mug of water and use
it as a last rinse. Once a week, heat
During pregnancy, due to higher estrogen
levels, the growth and resting phases become
longer and the hair falls less. It also looks
healthy and thick
Regular hair care during pregnancy
should include shampooing the
hair, two to three times a week
depending on the season and also
on the hair type. For eg. oily hair
needs to be shampooed frequently,

especially during humid weather.
Allow the hair to dry naturally as
often as you can and avoid tying
the hair back tightly. Habitual
tying of the hair tightly can cause
enough trauma to the roots,
leading to hair loss. It can often be
the cause of hair loss at the hairline.
hair care
olive oil and apply on the scalp with
a light massage. Leave on overnight.
Next morning, apply the juice of a
lemon on the scalp and wash the
hair after ten minutes as usual.
 Green tea can also be used as a hair
rinse after shampoo. Add the juice
of a lemon to four cups of green
tea and use it as a last rinse after
shampoo. Like Coconut Oil, but
Coconut milk is also said to promote
hair growth too. It also softens the
hair. Mix it with lemon juice and
apply on the hair. Wash the hair
with plain lukewarm water after ten
minutes. Follow this treatment twice
a week and you will find your hair is
smoother and healthier.
 Egg is one of the most versatile
ingredients. It contains silicon,
sulphur and fatty acids that help
to nourish the hair and promote
growth. It also contains Biotin, a
vitamin that helps hair growth. Beat
an egg with a little milk to form a
thickish consistency and apply it on
the scalp and hair. After half an hour,
rinse the hair well with water, after
adding some eau-de-cologne. It is
said that onion juice can be applied
on the scalp to help hair growth
because onions contain sulphur.
Healthy hair is not really difficult to
achieve. What one needs is awareness
of the kind of treatment it requires.
I also believe that nature is not only
an expert chemist, but also the best
cosmetologist.

Its a boon for professionals like me; I depend on it to
update myself about new product releases, knowledge
upgradation and ideas on how I can be a better service
provider. Not only that, my customers also refer to the
magazine when it comes to services and hairstyles they

SS15 Zeynep Kartal

Anyone can make it work
Yes, anyone! Long, short, wavy, fine or thickly-tressed
ladies can pull it off! Think of the trend as the sleekest,
healthiest version of your own hair.

And for curly girlies

This look totally works for curls too, but if you want to
smooth them out, try applying a smoothing balm on
freshly-washed, damp hair before blow-drying. Blow-dry
your hair straight with a paddle brush for the sleekest
finish (if you dry small enough sections at a time, you
shouldnt need to break out the straighteners).

It cuts out unnecessary products

For the most part, all youll need is the following:
MOISTURISING SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER DUO
This will help to hydrate your hair, ensuring itll
be yaway-free!

TAIL COMB For the precise side-parting.

SMOOTHING BALM To prep damp hair for

straightening.

STRAIGHTENERS/HAIRDRYER Whichever
method of straightening you prefer.

SHINE SPRAY Wave bye-bye to crisp nishing

sprays the only thing youll need to complete
your look is a subtle glisten for the ultimate in
fuss-free, glossy locks.
Feature Akesha Reid IMAGEs Courtesy of TONI&GUY

No time? No problem!
You can make this look last until the next time you wash
your hair! At night, simply twist into a low bun and pin
in place, then come morning, undo and brush through.
Youll be left with an oh-so-subtle natural wave.

The only thing is

Theres nowhere to hide! Just like the no make-up
trend, this look really does expose flaws, so you need
to keep your mane in tip-top condition. That means
regular trims, deep-conditioning treatments and
moisture masks!

PROBLEM:

Im scared of wearing my hair up

SOLUTION:

Lee Stafford
Its all about nding
the right ponytail to
suit your face shape
and there will be no
need to hide behind
your hair. Practice
wearing your
ponytail at different
heights from high
on the crown to low
at the nape. High
ponytails will look
great on round face
shapes, while those
with square faces
should frame their
look with a few
tendrils.

PROBLEM:

Sylvestre Finold & James

SOLUTION:
Find out what shades would
suit your natural skin tone
and ask your stylist for their
advice before picking one.
Dont too stray too far from
your natural shade so you
can still transform your look
without being too drastic. If
you dont want to commit,

PROBLEM:
I want a pixie cut, but Im scared of
the chop
SOLUTION:
co.uk
Savvy Hair savvyhair.
Pixie cuts are great for an
edgy look and really show
off those cheekbones, but
make sure you know your
face shape before visiting
the salon. Oval-shaped
faces can pull off nearly
any style of pixie cut,
but heart-shaped ladies
should aim to add height
at the crown to elongate
their features.
PROBLEM:
Im a slave to my straighteners
SOLUTION:
As tough as it is, step away from the irons they are
extremely damaging to the hair and can cause split
ends. As an alternative, wash your hair with straightening
shampoo and conditioner, then, after towel-drying your
hair, apply some argan oil and plait your hair or put it up
into large rollers before sleeping with them in overnight.
Voil! Gorgeous curls or waves without the heat damage!

PROBLEM:
Girly accessories make me look silly
SOLUTION:
Keep things all grown up by making your look effortless but
edgy if youre wearing a glittery hair band then put your
hair in a loose, messy bun and keep your eye make-up dark.
PROBLEM:
My updo looks lack variety
SOLUTION:
Dont try too hard with your
updos. Keep things relaxed
by incorporating plaits into
your look. There are plenty
of how-to videos online that
Centre thehairadvicecentre.com
Louise Wood, The Hair Advice
can teach you how to do

plaits. Try incorporating
these into your standard

trends in 2015.

my short hair
SOLUTION:
Invest in some good quality
hair extensions, clip-ins
and styling products like
moulding pastes and waxes.
Have fun experimenting
with lots of different
textures and styles. You can
also update your look with
semi permanent colours
and hair chalks for a blast of
creative colour.

SOLUTION:
Try to wash your hair
every other day to
better regulate sebum
production and stock
up on the wonder that
is dry shampoo. Pop a
can in your handbag
and spray and massage
in when you need those
root touch-ups during
the day.
PROBLEM:
My style falls at in an hour and I can never
keep the volume!
SOLUTION:
Jonny Engstrom at Guy Kremer
International
Try not to use too much
conditioner, as that can weigh
the hair down and make it
fall at after styling. Instead,
when your hair is towel-dry,
get plenty of mousse on the
crown of your hair, which
will uplift roots. Applying a
root-boosting powder and
washing with a volumising
shampoo/conditioner will
also work wonders.

A glance from the corner of the eye, thats all it

would take for you to slice their soul into pieces
and you can very well put it back together in
the same moment. But by then, you would have
figured them out. Struggled your way through
life, youve survived it all but nothing and no one
was ever worth the effort. Youve travelled far
and wide, sold the Harley for the woman who
was once enchanted by it. But thats not the story
your children would hear.

So, have you taken your pick? Or are you still

pondering over the options whilst stroking
your existing beard. We couldnt agree more,
its a massive decision as it would instantly add
five years to your look but effectively seal the
younger version of your skin as well. The UV rays
that it blocks, reduces the chances of cancer. So

Q Ive heard that waxing off
facial hair causes the facial
skin to loosen over time. Is this
true? If yes, what would be the
best way to deal with this?
Shraddha
A Skin does tend to lose its
elasticity over time with regular
waxing sessions. Go in for threading
instead. But, in case your hair density
is high, threading may not work for
you. In order to avoid the hassle
forever, you can go in for a hair-
removal procedure called Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL). Its a skin-friendly,
convenient, painless laser treatment.
In case your hair growth in not too
coarse, you may opt for bleaching,
which is in no way harmful when
done at a professional salon. Oxy,
Protein and Gold are the ace options
for bleaching, which are suitable for
all skin-types.

Q My feet are in a terrible

there a foot care routine that I
can follow to combat this?
Isha
A Your feet clearly exhibit the care
you provide to them. Keep them clean
and well-moisturised just as you
do for your face. For this, scrub your
feet using a pumice stone on a daily
basis while bathing and massage them
with a rich moisturizer after. Prepare
a mixture of glycerin, papaya pulp,
honey and lemon juice in equal parts
and apply it daily to get brighter and
smoother feet. You may use lemon
pieces with sugar to scrub you feet.

Q Years of waxing and other
forms of hair removal have
left my underarms dark and
patchy. Is there any way to
effectively reverse this?
Ananya
A Waxing can never cause dark
underarms. The reason for your woes
seem to be the other measures you
must have gone through like hair
removal creams and razors. To deal
with it, you may use this effective
scrub-cum-pack: add two tbsps lemon
juice with three tbsps oats, three tbsps
sandalwood powder & two tbsps
grated potato to form a paste. Now,
gently scrub your underarms using it.
Wash off and repeat regularly to notice
steady effects of this remedy. Ditch
your deodorants for some time as it will
only hamper the brightening process.
You may also go for bleach and peel

salon but make sure to maintain an
adequate interval between sittings. In

GRAPHITE GAZE
Kohl is almost primeval, the smoky eye
is almost a clich. Then FAT MU went
ahead and created a smudged out,
smoky eye in grey hues that spread out
towards the temples like a fish fin. The
combination with the mohawk braid and
bodycon silhouette was just delectable.

MAKING EYES
SHEFALI SAMDRIA presents three eye make-up innovations from
the Lakm Fashion Week that will soon be the trends to follow!

S
ince ancient times, eye make-up has been the focal
point of beauty and its pursuit from gemstones ground
for Cleopatras eye-lids to the home-made kohl that
remind you of your grandmother. Indian make-up has
thus far steered away from intense experimentation
when it comes to the eyes. You saw the same boring eye-liner/kohl
look everywhere, until Natasha Nischol of FAT MU gave three very
unique looks that had everyone raving!

BEATEN GOLD
Think beaten gold leaves on Indian

is a task. But dont worry; we
wont let your beautiful make-
up masterpiece go to waste
so easily. Follow these simple
beauty tips to make sure
that your make-up stays on
perfectly from dawn to dusk,
making you look like a flawless
summer goddess.

your make-ups biggest enemy! HENA

knight in shining armour to save you
from a messy make-up meltdown.

KISS (KEEP IT SIMPLY SILLY)
Stay away from layers upon layers of
make-up in the summer days. Skip
the heavy foundation and switch to
BB creams instead. In case you are in
dire need of coverage, opt for silicone-
based foundations like the Fluid
Foundation No Transfer by Make-Up
Studio. This lightweight wonder gives
you a natural, smudge-proof finish.
Remember, more layers of make-
up will only make you sweat more,
making your make-up melt faster so
dont forget to KISS!
PRIME-TIME MAGIC
Forget about what anyone hass
told you otherwise primers
work wonders! One pea-sized
drop will give you shine-free
skin that makes the perfect base se
for make-up application. Along g
with covering the pores, it will
also make the colours of your
make-up pop more. Be sure to
use an eye shadow primer too as
it will prevent your shadow from
creasing and clumping halfway
through the day.
A ROYAL FLUSH
A healthy glow is an absolute must
this season! Flaunt a sun-kissed,
flushed look by applying some
creamy blush to the apples of your
cheeks, and blend it in with a light
dusting of bronzer as well. Be wary
of not adding too much bronzer
though or you may end up looking
badly tanned. You may even mix an
illuminator to a tinted moisturizer
and apply to achieve a beautiful
sheen.
SWITCH TO CREAM
Powder mixed with sweat paints a
clumpy, messy picture right? Avoid
this by switching your powder based
products with creamy concoctions
for the summer. Lightweight and
sheer creamy products will not cake
in the heat, thus preventing creases
and smudging. Silicone and gel based
products work well too as they are
lightweight and great for locking in
colour.

Make-Up Studio offers
products that cater to all

perfectly. From Make-Up
Fixers to silicone-based

ONE WORD: WATERPROOF

is only needed on rainy days? To
prevent your make-up from running
down your face onto your favourite
summer dress, make sure your
use waterproof products. This is
essential for liners and mascaras,
for you dont want to end up with

proof spray on a make-up fixer like

which will render your make-up
waterproof, making it last endlessly!

For a Mommy
 skin care

Makeover DR. VARUN KATYAL shares his

expert advice for mommies
who wish to bounce back to
their pre-pregnancy skin!

H
ave you ever
wondered
why the
word busy
ends up in
front of the word mom
most of the time? With
small kids and a hectic
pace, moms do come up
with effective ways to
manage time but things
like skin care and beauty
issues take a back seat at
times. Finding the time
for self-maintenance
can be really challenging
but worry not, here are
some tips that you lovely
moms can follow under
the supervision of a
dermatologist to manage
two common maternal
beauty concerns
hyperpigmentation
and cellulite.

HYPERPIGMENTATION
Do you feel you have developed dark spots or dark
patches on your skin? These may be because of a
condition termed as hyperpigmentation. So, how
can you get rid of hyperpigmentation?

What is Hyperpigmentation?
This condition is caused by over activity of skin
cells called melanocytes resulting in increased
production of melanin, the substance that gives our
skin colour. Factors like sun exposure, hormones,
certain illnesses and medications, genetics, chronic
inflammation, allergies, heat, etc. alone or in
combination lead to hyperpigmentation.

If you feel you have developed hyperpigmentation,

you must consult a dermatologist as soon as
possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.

May 2015 99
 PREVENTION OF HYPERPIGMENTATION
The statement Prevention is better than cure applies in
case of hyperpigmentation to a very large extent. The tips
listed below should help you combat it:

Sun Protection Use a good broad-spectrum sunscreen

with SPF of at least 30 everyday. Apply your sunscreen
liberally 20 to 30 minutes before going out and reapply it
every two hours.

Dress to protect
Lightweight, cotton clothes along with a cap, scarf or
broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses act as shields from
harmful UV rays.

Practice an appropriate skin care regimen

Use an antioxidant cream or serum in the morning to fight
free radical damage and a cream or serum containing
peptides, alpha hydroxy acids or retinol at night to
gently exfoliate the skin and also help increase collagen
production.

Exfoliate regularly
Sweep away the top layer of the skin and remove excess
pigmentation by using a chemical, manual or fruit enzyme
exfoliator which is effective as well as gentle on the skin,
once a week.

TREATMENT OF HYPERPIGMENTATION
Your dermatologist can help you determine
which treatment would best suit your needs.
Options may involve the use of bleaching
creams or topical skin lightening creams,
clinical procedures or a change in your skin
care routine and lifestyle. The best treatment
however can only be determined by your
dermatologist.

Clinical procedures
The clinic treatments for hyperpigmentation
can be Micro-Dermabrasion, superficial
chemical peels, Photofacial or IPL Therapy
and some laser treatments. Deeper peels or
laser peels are usually not recommended for
treatment of hyperpigmentation.

Diet
Foods rich in antioxidants like berries, papaya,
watermelon, tomato, soybeans, nuts, etc.
are helpful in protection from UV rays. Make
sure you also take vitamin and mineral
supplements after consulting your doctor.

100 May 2015

HOME REMEDIES FOR
HYPERPIGMENTATION:
Add some plain oatmeal to
unflavored yogurt and apply the
mixture on to the affected part
of the skin. Wash the mixture off
after 20 minutes with cold water.
Some tomato juice could also be
added to this mixture to increase
its effectiveness.
Grind five almonds and mix with 1
teaspoon of fresh cream and a few
drops of lemon juice. Apply this
paste to the face and neck. Leave
on for about fifteen minutes.
Potato has natural bleaching
properties. Cut a potato into thin
slices and place them on the
affected area for 20 to 30 minutes.
Mint works wonders in lightening
the skin tone and therefore, the
paste of freshly ground mint leaves
should be applied on to the skin
for around 15 to 20 minutes, before
being rinsed off.

SOLUTIONS FOR CELLULITE Cosmetic treatments

CELLULITE
Most of us are slaves to our cellulite.
We cover it up, hide it, lie about it,
hate it, and try to deny its existence!
Now is the time to learn the truth
about cellulite and how we can
eliminate it:
What is cellulite?
Cellulite is made up of fatty deposits
trapped in pockets just below the skin.
As a result, the fat cells are squeezed
into small bulges that give the skin
that unsightly lumpy, dimpled or
orange peel look. Cellulite is typically
located on thighs, buttocks and pelvic
region, giving skin a cottage cheese-
like appearance.
Cause
There are many causes that lead to
cellulite formation, some of which
are hormones, diet and lifestyle. It is
primarily seen in women during their
hormonal changes such as puberty,
pregnancy and menopause. Cellulite
also occurs when additional toxins
and waste products remain in the
body.
Under the guidance of your doctor,
the following tips can help you
reduce cellulite:
Diet and exercise
You need to remove as much
saturated fat from your diet as
possible to fight cellulite. Eliminate
deep-fried food, limit your intake of
processed and sugary food and avoid
caffeinated/alcoholic beverages.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables and
drink lots of water to flush out toxins.
Focus on specific cardiovascular and
anaerobic exercises that target the
cellulite area affected area.
Massage
Massage, particularly the kind that
improves lymph flow, is very good for
reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Topical products
Many popular cellulite treatment
products today include ingredients
which have proven to be helpful
in reducing the amount of excess
fat being stored by skin tissue in
those areas. While a select few
These treatments provide safe and
effective cellulite reduction options
when performed by qualified doctors.
From among the non-surgical options
available, the best one is the body
shaping treatment. Endermologie and
Laser lipolysis are two promising non
invasive treatment modalities used for
treating cellulite.
HOME REMEDIES FOR CELLULITE
1. Add about two cups of sea salt
to warm bathwater and sit in the
soothing water for at least 20
minutes.
2. Take coffee beans, grind it to a
powder and mix with a hand lotion.
Rub this into your cellulite affected
region for 1-2 minutes a day, and
then wash it off.
3. Prepare a mixture of dried thyme
with small amount of grapefruit
juice and corn oil and apply to your
cellulite affected region.
4. Mix three parts apple cider vinegar
with one part of your favorite
massage oil. Gently knead this
solution onto affected skin areas
twice daily.

Did you know that your body has both
negatively and positively charged elements
that form its electric component?

Ions, as they are termed, are charged

particles that aid in the energetic processes
of the body. When the flow of positive ions
increases in the body, the immune system
becomes weak, sluggish and vulnerable. The
bodys metabolism slows, which can cause
toxins and waste to build up in the various
systems of the body, causing weight gain,
diseases and cellulite. Positive ions help
facilitate premature ageing.

There are various sources where our body

picks up these positive ions, such as:
Cell phones
Computers
Electronic & Electrical
Equipments
Chemical & Acid Rain
Ultraviolet rays

In order to reverse the effect of Negative ions are plentifully present in

these positive ions our body needs
more negative ions. Negative ions
have important skin benefits like
eradicating free radicals, balancing
acidic body tissue fluids, and
aiding in the excretion of waste
through the pores to promote
accelerated cell removal.

 Wonderful
Vetiver
Breathe in the soothing scent of vetiver. Savour its cooling
benefits inside-out to beat the heat, says BRINDA GILL!

I
n this hot climate, some
prefer to build Kas-kanays or
neat houses made of straw or
odoriferous roots placed near
a reservoir of water that the servants
may easily moisten the outside by
means of water, described Franois
Bernier, French traveller and personal
physician to the Mughal Emperor in
the mid-17th century, of the cooling
attributes of khus!

Native to India, vetiver locally known

as khus, is a tall perennial grass with a
long and thick intricate root system.
The extract of the roots have a lovely
fragrance, cooling effect and wellness
attributes. These are also present
in the ingredients of perfumes, skin
products and beverages. Historical
texts have references to vetiver
perfumes being used by royalty, and
Ayurvedic texts refer to it as Sugandi-
mulaka or sweet smelling roots and
Sita-mulaka or soothing roots. In fact,
its fragrance is so indelibly etched in
the psyche that often just a whiff of
vetiver instantly creates a feeling of
freshness and calmness!

114 May 2015


Summer Special
Due to its cooling properties,
vetiver is a summer favourite.
Khus sherbet, a green coloured
traditional Indian drink, is typically
enjoyed as a refreshing summer
drink. It cools and calms the body,
purifies the blood, detoxifies the
body, acts as a diuretic and reduces
acidity. It is an effective digestive
drink. It reduces burning pain from
the stomach, joints and any part of
the body. It also reduces fatigue,
fever, bleeding from internal
organs, thirst, vomiting and ulcers,
says Dr Tushar Kulkarni, Ayurveda
specialist, White Water Spa, The
Corinthians, Pune.
Dr. Kulkarni explains that vetiver is
excellent for external application
in a raw powdered form, useful
in excessive sweating and skin
diseases, and enhances the
complexion. Vetivers attributes
help in promoting good health
from within. It is also beneficial
when applied topically. As vetiver
oil extracted from the roots has
a refreshing aroma, and as it is
soothing and cooling for the skin,
it is used in aromatherapy oils and
creams applied in spa therapies
especially in the summer.
Image shutterstock.com
Soothing the Skin
Skin and beauty experts also endorse
the valuable effects of vetiver.
Vetiver is a humectant, which
attracts moisture to the face thus
benefiting dry and dehydrated skin
conditions. As vetiver helps to reduce
inflammation, soothes and moisturizes
the skin, it is of special benefit to dry
skin and pimple prone skin. These
may be in nourishing creams in which
vetiver has been used along with
other ingredients that help dry skin,
says beauty expert Shahnaz Husain.
flavour of the month
While vetiver oil has a calming effect
on the mind, it also strengthens,
nurtures and revitalizes the body. As it
helps in the formation of new tissues,
it is used for treating skin wounds,
marks and scars, and stretch marks.
It strengthens the connective tissues
and promotes skin regeneration. It
is useful for mature, dry or irritated
skin, says Dr. Varun Katyal, Consultant
Dermatologist and Cosmetologist, The
Skin Centre, New Delhi.
As vetiver roots absorb water and
nutrients from the soil, its aromatic
features may differ slightly from soil
types, making it a fascinating essential
oil to work with. Vetiver blends well
with lavender and ylang ylang oils.
In blended massage oil or diluted in
the bath water, vetiver oil can help
with mental and physical exhaustion,
nervous complaints, rheumatism and
arthritic pain, insomnia as well as
balancing the hormonal system and
have a healing effect on the skin., says
Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson,
Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies.
In this way, the humble grass that
grows naturally in the wild finds its way
in myriad wellness, its uses range from
traditional medicine to branded beauty
and wellness products, and soothing
spa experiences.
