Prep Up Your Skin and Hair For Valentines Day | V-Day Expert Tips

Valentine's day is just around the corner and you must be pretty excited about planning your outfit for the dinner date. Apart from a trendy dress and accessories, your radiant skin and beautiful smile is what would leave your date mesmerized on the V-day.

With less than a week to go, here is a simple schedule to follow to get a clear and even-toned complexion:

• Exfoliate Your Skin : To remove dead skin cells and dirt accumulated on your skin surface, exfoliate your skin with Bio Papaya scrub on alternate days for a week to remove embedded impurities and unclog pore openings. 

Also, use a loofah daily and wash your body with Bio Honey Cream body wash to revitalize skin, remove dead layers of skin and get a fairer and fresh body finish.

• Use Sun Protection : Extreme exposure to sun can cause sunburn and tan which may take many weeks to repair. Therefore, apply Bio Carrot sunscreen daily to keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays and keep it soft and smooth before your V-Day date. 

• Get a Pedicure : Long working hours and travel can take a lot of toll on your feet and make them very rough. Get a relaxing pedicure done and use Bio Costus foot cream daily to moisturize rough heels and make way to smooth, beautiful feet which would look good in the stunning footwear you are planning to wear for the date.

 Apply an attractive nailpaint matching to your outfit on the day of your date to prevent any chipping.

• Treat Dark Circles : Dark circles and puffiness around the eye area can spoil your face’s beauty. We recommend applying Bio Almond eye cream daily overnight to brighten eye contours and fade away dark circles.

• Style Your Hair Wisely : If you are planning to style your hair before the date, avoid using extreme heat on your hair which can weaken the hair follicles and cause damage. Use Bio Wave styling gel which is a 100% Ayurvedic styling product that will help you get the desired look and get a gorgeous mane.

• Get an Instant Glow : More than anything else it is important that you look fresh and glowing on the V-Day. And to achieve that radiant complexion, we recommend using Bio Fruit pack followed by Bio Dandelion serum, which you should apply on the morning of 14th February to get an instant glow and brighter skin.

Following these simple tips, donning your best attire and getting a natural look by just highlighting your lips with Bio Berry lip balm will give you a stunning appeal without looking over-the-top for the V-day.

Perfect Summer Skincare Regime - Reverse the Sun Damage

While the summer seems to be ending soon with rains having started in most parts of the country, the summer heat must have left your skin tanned and dull looking. But if you follow a proper skincare regime this season, you can easily get your fresh and glowing skin back.

We have jotted down an easy to follow skincare regime that would help you out in reversing the sun damage, and giving back a beautiful skin-

• Cleansing with Bio Neem - Cleansing your skin thoroughly is an important part of any skincare regime. You should ideally wash your face twice a day with Bio Neem face wash which has amazing anti-bacterial properties that help clean and purify your complexion, bringing out a soft and healthy skin.

• Toning with Bio Cucumber - Summer heat makes you sweat a lot which can lead to clogged or open pores. Bio Cucumber toner has amazing pore tightening properties which help hydrate and maintain the pH balance of your skin. 

• Moisturizing with Bio Carrot - No matter you are stepping out in the sun or staying indoors in an air-conditioned room, moisturizing your skin with a SPF sunscreen is a must this season. Bio Carrot with SPF 40 UVA/UVB protection helps protect your skin from sun damage while keeping skin soft and moisturized. It should be re-applied every 2-3 hours for better protection.

• Exfoliation with Bio Papaya - It's really important to exfoliate your skin in summers to remove impurities, dead skin and promote blood circulation of the face. Bio Papaya scrub not only helps in exfoliating the skin but also helps remove the tan and unclog pore openings, thus reducing the sun damage to a great extent.

• Lip Care with Bio Aloe Vera - Sunrays tend to dry out the delicate tissue of your lips, therefore it becomes necessary to keep your lips coated with a sunscreen having SPF like Bio Aloe Vera lip balm with SPF 30 to keep your lips hydrated, soft and protected from the sun's harmful rays.

• Rejuvenating with Bio Milk Protein - Last but very important part of any skincare regime is rejuvenating and nourishing the skin with a face pack. Bio Milk Protein face pack is blended with amazing natural ingredients that help revitalize your skin and giving you a visibly lighter and smooth complexion.

How to Look Good without Makeup - Natural Skin Care

The secret to looking good and beautiful without makeup exists and is possible for anyone and everyone.

Women are generally scared to leave the house without any makeup because they think their face will look terrible without any makeup on. That’s not true. 

Read these simples tips to make your skin glow and look flawless, NATURALLY. Also, going makeup-free some days and still getting compliments will make you feel more confident about yourself.

• Believe in your Inner Beauty - Let's start with the most basic part - believing in yourself and your inner charm. No matter how much makeup you apply or how well you dress up, if you don't feel confident or if you don't love yourself, no other person would be able to feel the same for you. So, first things first, Start Loving Yourself. 

If going makeup-free all at once is too much for you, start adapting the change slowly by going for a minimal-makup look ie. just applying a kaajal (like Bio Kaajal) or mascara and a touch of lip balm like Bio Berry plumping lip balm.

• Follow a Skincare Regime - Most of us neglect the importance of a proper skincare regime to protect our skin from daily damage most of the times. But, the key to looking good naturally is following your skincare regime religiously which should include the basic mantra - Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing. You should cleanse your face twice daily (once you get up in the morning and again before you go to sleep), and also exfoliate your skin regularly to maintain its health.

Try to use herbal or organic products as they are skin-friendly and do not cause any side effects. We recommend you to use Bio Honey Gelcleanser, Bio Honey Water tonerand Bio Morning Nectar lotion as a part of your skincare regimen. And of course never forget to apply sun screen (Bio Carrot sun protection with SPF 30, which is our favourite).

• Have a Nutritious Diet - Eating healthy and drinking atleast 7-8 glasses of water daily would make your skin naturally healthy and youthful. You should include as many fruits and vegetable in your diet as possible to balance your diet. 

Also, try to include green tea in your daily diet as it is rich in antioxidants and helps making your skin fresh and young.

• Personal Grooming - Often neglected by many, personal grooming is the most important step to look beautiful and confident. Regularly go for those salon sessions to trim your eyebrows, wax unwanted hair and manicure/pedicure.

• Proper Hair Care - Whether you love keeping your hair open all day long or keep them secured in a bun, you should wash your hair regularly and get them trimmed at regular intervals to get rid of split ends. 

If you have colored your hair or got them treated chemically, then give extra care to your hair by using the right products and going for a hair spa. You can use Bio Soya Protein shampoo and Bio Watercress conditioner which are specially created to maintain the health of color-treated and damaged hair.

• Exercise Daily – You don’t need a gym membership, weights or personal trainer to help you lose those excess kilos. Also, no matter what your weight or body type is, it is essential to exercise daily to maintain your health and be physically fit. Walking is one of the easiest exercises to stay fit, and brisk walking for atleast 30 minutes daily can lift your mood while keeping you healthy and improving the quality of your life.

• Pamper Yourself - Pamper yourself every now and then by indulging in shopping, eating your favorite cuisine at a restaurant or simply taking a day off from work and relaxing at home with your favorite music and book. This would surely pump you up, and keep those stress lines far away. A happy and relaxed you will surly glow from the inside out.
