Revitalize Your Skin This Autumn | Fall Skincare Guide

The summer season is now making way for Fall which means shorter days, drop in temperatures and dry air. The change in season not only calls for a wardrobe transition but also a change in autumn skincare routine. It's time to stack upon some heavy-duty moisturizers, nourishing lip balms and body lotions to protect your skin from the drying weather.

Here we have covered few guidelines you can follow to get a smooth and beautiful skin all through the autumn-winter :

• Intensive Treatment – The summer weather and harsh sunrays must have stripped off your skin from its radiant glow and suppleness. Therefore, an intensive treatment rich in vitamins and minerals is necessary to replenish the lost moisture. We recommend Bio Dandelion serum to get soft and smooth skin.

You can also use Bio Pistachioface pack which revitalizes your skin and nurtures it to bring out a radiant complexion.

• Exfoliation - Weekly exfoliation is a must this Fall to keep your skin looking radiant and remove dead skin cells. Bio Papaya scrub is our top recommended product which will help you get the rid of the tan which your skin would have got from the sun exposure and reveal a bright complexion. 

If you have extremely dry skin, Bio Walnut scrub would help purify and polish your skin, and sweep away dry lines caused due to the harsh summer weather. Bio Papaya is also an excellent exfoliating face wash which has a gentle refining action to make way for a soft and smooth skin.

• Nourishment - The key to beautiful winter skin is keeping it nourished and well moisturized all day long. We recommend you to use Bio Winter Cherry body nourisher which has amazing revitalizing, nurturing and lightening properties. 

Fall is also the time to ditch your summer lotions and make way for moisturizing creams to promote a healthy skin texture and provide optimum hydration of the skin. BioSaffron Dew face cream is a rich but easily absorbing cream which helps provides weather protection and nourishment to your skin.

• Protection - You should not let go of your sunscreen yet as protection from sun is required throughout the year. After applying a moisturizing cream, apply Bio Carrot sunscreen lotion to protect the skin from harmful sunrays. Do not forget to keep your lips moisturized with a nourishing lip balm like Bio Almond which deeply nourishes and fortifies lips.

Along with the above given tips, you should also make Toning an important part of your skin care regime to keep your skin hydrated and fresh. We recommend Bio Honey Water toner which has the goodness of pure honey and Himalayan waters to refresh and tones you complexion.

Prepare your Skin for the Monsoons | Monsoon Skin Care Tips

The intense summer heat is on its verge to give way to breezy weather, cloudy skies, light showers and increased levels of humidity. The upcoming monsoons will be a welcome change from the extreme heat, sunburns and sweaty summer days. But have you prepared your skin to meet the seasonal change and handle the humidity?

Here we have covered some important and easy to follow tips to take care of your skin this summer :

• Cleanse the Skin - Humidity tends to cause acne on your skin, therefore it becomes essentials to wash your face with a gentle, soap-free cleanser atleast two-three times a day to remove oil, impurities and purify pores. Bio Papaya is an excellent face wash to try this season as it cleans as well as exfoliates your face to dissolve dead skin cells. 

• Skin Toning - Toning your face becomes all the more important this season to unclog closed pores and revive your skin. We recommend you to use Bio Honey Water toner which also hydrates your skin and gives it a fresh feel.

• Moisturize and Sunscreen - Just because the weather is cool and sun isn't that bright, doesn't mean that you can skip using a sunscreen. You should stick to your routine of using a moisturizer and sunscreen even in monsoon to protect your skin. We recommend you to use Bio Morning Nectar with SPF 30 which will work both as a moisturizer and a sunscreen.

• Gentle exfoliation - Higher humidity tends to clog your pores, therefore one must use an exfoliating scrub like Bio Papaya scrub to remove dead skin cells and bring back the glow of the skin.

• Stay hydrated - Drink adequate water (atleast 7-8 glasses) during monsoon to hydrate yourself and your skin and give a healthy natural glow to your skin.

• Use waterproof makeup - If you do not wish to be caught up with a running-down mascara or patchy skin on a rainy day, invest in some good waterproof mascaras and foundations that would stay put even on a rainy day.

Apart from these tips, keep a pack of cleansing wipes handy to wipe off any dirt or sweat caused due to humidity. Also include fresh fruits and vegetables in your meals to get a healthy glow and stay stress-free this season.

Summer Skincare Tips for Men

Just like women need a proper skincare regime to look good, men need to follow a proper skincare routine including CTM (Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing). Being exposed to sun and pollution, long working hours and stressful jobs can really damage your skin if you don't give it the much needed attention.


Here we have covered some important tips which you should follow this summer for a healthy skin -

• Use good quality razors - A quality razor is like an investment you make for your skin, and you should choose a razor that fits your skin sensitivity and beard coarseness, which would also help you achieve a smooth shave. Also, you should shave off the hair preferably after a shave as the facial hair are made softer by warm water and are easier to be shaved off. 
  

• Exfoliation - Atleast once or twice a week use a gentle but rejuvenating scrub to wash away the impurities and dead skin cells gathered on your skin over the week. We recommend Bio Papaya scrub which not only washes away impurities but also removes tan. Exfoliating also helps softening the hair follicles which in turn would help you get a smooth shave with minimal irritation.

• Daily Skincare - First things first, soaps are equally harsh for your skin as they are women's skin. Therefore you should use a good facial cleanser like Bio Orris Root cleanser that also maintains your skin's natural pH balance. Use a good toner like Bio Honey Water to hydrate your skin and make sure you apply a sun lotion half an hour before you step out of your home.

• Use an After-shave religiously - The key to a smooth and safe shave is a moisturizing shaving cream like Bio Palmyra shaving cream and a generous use of after-shave after each shave. Also, a quality after-shave like Bio Wild Grass which will hydrate and soothe your skin, and also seals in the moisture.

• Stay Hydrated - Like anyone else even men need to have atleast 7-8 glasses of water daily to keep themselves hydrated. And if you are into smoking or drinking, you must have atleast 10-12 glasses of water as these habits can really damage your skin and dehydrate the skin.
  

• Lip Care - While women have the advantage of many products to protect their lips, it doesn't mean that men need not take care of their lips. We recommend you to use Bio Aloe Vera lip balm that has the power of SPF 30 and will protect your lips in the summer heat from chapping or dryness.

Following these simple tips would lead you to achieve a healthy and younger looking in just a matter of time.

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.

Make sure to carry a water bottle wherever you go and have atleast 10-12 glasses of water each day. You can use Bio Honey Water to refreshen and tone your skin.

If you have an oily skin, we recommend you to try Bio Pineapple cleanser which is an excellent Oil control foaming cleanser.
