5 Skin Care tips to beat the Indian Heat

It’s not full-fledged summer yet. April 14, people say its spring but I don’t really believe. At least in this part of the country, the temperature rose to 41o Celsius. And this is not going to slow down any time soon. The sad part is you can’t just stay inside temperature controlled rooms all the time.

Apart from peace of mind skin is the worst affected part of your body during summer. Here are the things you need to do to keep your skin from getting hit by the ruthless summer season.

 

  • Avoid Artificial Soft Drinks: I cannot stress this more. Don’t fall for advertisements and avoid aerated drinks. These drinks contain excessive sugar and you don’t really have to get diabetes trying to gratify your thirst. They also contain phosphoric acid, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, extra fructose and almost no nutritional value. Soda drinks and cold drinks on the other hand induce dehydration.

  • Hydrate Naturally: Nature has the answer to your worries. Drink plenty of water. Help yourself with a glass of lemonade or grab a coconut. Drink grape fruit juice and experiment with a variety of natural fruit juice.

  • Use Sunscreen Lotion:  Apply sunscreen lotion 20 minutes before you go out. Reapply after few hours. Moisturizer with sunscreen can be the answer if your skin is dry.

  • Lips: Dryness can both be uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Keep your lips moisturized with lip balm SPF

  • Exfoliate and Healing: Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week if your skin is dry and 2-3 times a week if your skin is oily. Sunlight and the rough weather tend to suck the life off your skin. Use skincare products with antioxidants.  

And if you want professional care you can find deals from Salons in Delhi here. To keep yourself internally healthy eat healthy. Up next, learn about a healthy diet plan for the summer. Till then stay safe.

5 Shopping Secrets That Marketers Don’t Want You to Know

Some loves it, some dreams about it and many even despise it but you can’t live without it. Shopping and spending money goes hands in hand but what if I tell you that there are ways to make your shopping habits more efficient and less costly in the long run.


Psychological Traps: Advertisers, marketers and businesses are constantly trying to sell something. They try to use psychological tricks to increase their sales. Remember the last time you saw the word free and went on to find a bad deal. They use trigger words like exclusive, free, discount etc. So, don’t just buy their claims without cross verifying. Get vigilant when you see trigger words like “free”, “exclusive”, “limited period offer” etc.

The Setup and Ambience: What’s common about the music played at shopping malls and markets? Slow and down tempo music. Slow music makes you go slow and you keep buying unwanted stuffs. Remedy- Use the earphones and listen to some EDM or anything but down tempo if you want to spend less.

Dynamic Pricing: There are many online stores that show different prices to different customers based on geographic location and past browsing data. Delete your cookies or use private/incognito window while buying.  

Smart Couponing: Compare with a calculator if you get confused about percentage discount and cash discount. Moreover, compare coupons from different providers.

Connect and Seek: All e-commerce stores are active in social media channels. Ask them for discounts, coupons or vouchers. You can also call their customer service lines and support chat channels and ask for discounts.  


Use these strategies and save every time you buy. Even if you would not be lucky enough to save, you would not end up paying more.
