Here is a list of Skin Care Tips for your Dazzling and Beautiful Skin. These tips are curated by Dr Naina Lohan herself based on enormous experience in the industry and the patients she met.
Sunscreen Usage
Always wear sunscreen, even when you are indoors. Can be even worn by babies older than 6 months of age. It is the easiest available anti-wrinkle treatment which can be started early
If you are exposed to a lot of screen time then wear a sunscreen with blue light filter and for those with a lot of outdoor activity its advised to wear a tinted sunscreen
For Indian skin sunscreens with SPF 50 are recommended but those with oily or acne-prone skin can start with a 30 spf sunscreen,
Tinted sunscreens are becoming more and more popular as they give that nice no-makeup makeup look, especially good for those suffering from uneven skin tone and pigmentation
Makeup
You should wear sunscreen even under your makeup as going out at night or any party such your skin becomes exposed to a lot of light, be it the camera flash, decor lights, etc
Its advised to wear a lip balm under your lipstick as it will prevent the drying of lips and also prevents the transfer of pigment from the lipstick to your lips which can lead to lip pigmentation or darkening
Sleeping with makeup on is a big NO and here are a few steps you need to keep in mind while taking your makeup off.
First, use a makeup cleansing balm or coconut oil to take the heavy layer off, then wash your face thoroughly twice with your face wash followed by using a wet wipe to wipe off any fragment of makeup if left behind.
Don’t forget to put on some moisturizer on your face after removing makeup, you don’t wanna leave your face dry after all that washing
Ideally, wash your makeup brushes after every makeup, but if that is not possible you need to definitely wash it after three makeups as using dirty makeup brushes can lead to breakouts further causing pigmentation.
To wash the brushes, take a little shampoo mix it with water and rinse the brushes in this concoction, dry the brushes by placing them on a horizontal surface
Lip Care
For lip care, it’s great to use lip balm on a regular basis but guess what it’s not enough, lip balm only prevents water loss and does not give any moisture to the lips. Applying a moisturizer on the lips and then sealing it off with a lip balm does the trick.
Hair Care
Talking about hair care, for those with oily hair or those who have dandruff it is advisable to wash hair more frequently, there is no harm in washing hair every alternate day whereas those with dry hair should use a moisturizing conditioner after every wash
One should be mindful of using their shampoo, these days a lot of hype is being created for “sulfate-free” shampoos but let me tell you that these sulfate-free shampoos are nothing but a gimmick! the main job of shampoo is not to clean the scalp but to remove all that dirt and grime away, sulfate free shampoos don’t really help as they left behind the buildup and make the scalp even more oily and dirty.
