Why You Should Wear Sunscreen Everyday

October 20, 2020 7 Comments In Beauty & Wellness

Sunscreen is so important for skin even the USA government classified it as a Drug.
There are many benefits of applying sunscreen for instance It can save you from sunburn, Pigmentation, Hyperpigmentation even ageing.

Why Should I Wear A Sunscreen Even At Home

Remember the rule “when in doubt, always wear sunscreen”.
According to the American Cancer Society, the glass which Is used in car, home or office windows are designed to block most UVB rays, but it does not offer protection from all UVA rays. So even if you’re indoors, and close the window you still have a chance of the risk of exposure to UVA rays and possible skin damage.

80% Rays can pass through clouds, so it increases the chances of sunburns/ damages.

Know Everything About UV Rays

The ultraviolet light that penetrates our skin is made up of three types of radiations
UVA
UVB
UBC
1. UVA- It has the longest wavelength that reaches deep into the layers of skin, causing against wrinkles, ageing and pigmentation.
2. UVB- it has the largest impact on the top layer of skin. it causes redness, burning and skin cancer.
3. UVC- The shortest wavelength. it absorbed by the atmosphere.

What Does SPF Measures?

SPF stands for sun protection factor. It measures how well a sunscreen will protect skin from Ultraviolet(UB) Rays.
suppose if your skin would normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, Applying 15 an SPF sunscreen would allow you to stay in the sun without burning for 150 minutes (15*10).

Though Its roughly estimated that Depends on skin type, skin color , intensity of sunlight and amount of sunscreen you applied.

For the best result expert believes use SPF 30; applying proper amount and Proper time (like apply Sunscreen in every 2 hours).
If you apply 30 SPF then it will protect you 20UVB and 10 UVA.

Many people under apply sunscreens, using 1/4th or half amount of sunscreen , only provide protection the square root of the SPF. For instance SPF 30 then (30)1/4th
ideally apply one gram of sunscreen to protect against sun damages.

High SPFs such as SPF 75, SPF 100 do not offer greater protection but it mislead people.


SPF 15 Blocks 93% of UVB SPF 30 Blocks 97% of UVB SPF 50 Blocks 98% of UVB

What Is PA?

PA is known as a Protection Grade of UVA.
SPF measures only UVB Protection while PA rating Only measures UVA Protections.
So Protecting yourself from both the UVA & UVB rays is very important.

Pa rating system was established in Japan as a informing consumer of the degree of protection provided by sunscreen.

Rating systems are as follow

PA+ Some UVA Protection PA++ Moderate UVA Protection PA+++ High UVA Protection PA++++ Extremely High UVA Protection
For Protecting Your self from sunburn/damages Ideally Use Of combination Sunscreen. In the next blog, we will discuss the physical and chemical Sunscreen.

How To Take Care Of Combination Scalp; Know These Things For Hair Growth

August 28, 2020 3 Comments In Beauty & Wellness

Well, since time immemorial, we have been struggling with our hair. We want the shine and volume like every other pretty actress who comes across in the huge screens. Nevertheless, shampoo and conditioner are not some avocado and toast, which suits all of us at the same time. However, for hair care, the First step is to know about your scalp and hair type and use the shampoos & conditioner accordingly. In this article, we will discuss the rare type of scalp “Combination Scalp”.
There are four major hair–types:
1.Oily
2.Dry
3.Normal
4.Combination

Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” Coco Chanel.

Wondering how to understand if you have this tricky hair–type?
Here, I have provided a list of points that might help you in your long self–care battle! Let us have a look at it.

If you have a combination scalp, you need two kinds of care for your hair and scalp separately. At least wash the hair twice a week. You can apply shampoo gently on the scalp as it is oily, but you can leave out the hair strands. You need to apply conditioner at the tips of the hair. Therefore, your scalp will be clear, and the strand of hair will remain moisturized. In combination-type hair, hair-tips become dry so to keep it moisture-locked, we need to hydrate it.
Shampooing at least thrice a week will undoubtedly reduce your hair fall.
Now comes a crucial stage- combing your hair. I suggest that if you have a combination-type hair and scalp, then you should have a different type of comb. If you have straight hair, then use a bristle paddle brush, and if it has frizzy and curly then use a wooden comb.
Stop using hair-drier as soon as possible. Alternatively, reduce the amount of usage, since it dries up your hair-ends and your hair-tips might break and damage. If you apply it on the scalp, the sebum (which is the natural oil) level will also decrease. If you have an emergency and cannot get out without blow-drying, then keep the temperature at low mode or use cooler temperatures.
Oiling – Oiling is the most important part of hair growth and giving that lustrous shine. If you have combination hair, simply at the strand/end of hair use warm oil and massage it.
Having a proper and maintained balanced diet is another factor to concentrate on. Consuming a balanced diet with minerals and supplements will help in thickening and growing of your hair.
Avoid your hair from getting exposed to the sun. It’s harmful to your hair as you have combination hair; your hair will become dull and it also affects producing of the sebum.
For increasing the production of sebum, have food rich in Vitamin A like carrots, tomatoes, green leaf, and dairy products. It will help to maintain the sebum production.
Stay away from chemical treatments such as colouring, perming, etc.
Choose shampoo very carefully as you have a combination of types of hair. Use a mild shampoo; which is a pH balanced shampoo. Do not shampoo more than thrice a week.
To keep your hair free of split-ends; trim your hair regularly.
Use olive oil or jojoba oil, and gently massage it on your hair. It helps to keep hair moisture-locked for days.
Deep conditioning treatment is best for dry and frizzy hair. You can try it at home, too. The method is to apply conditioner on hair end and wrapping up your hair with a wet warm towel to keep it moisturized.
Have patience and watch the miracle happen
Let me know, how useful you found this to be. Hope this made the search for perfect products for your combination-type hair a bit easier.

Know Everything About Your Scalp Type And Hair

August 28, 2020 4 Comments In Beauty & Wellness

Nowadays hair fall is one of the most common problems for everyone. In this busy 21st Century, we hardly have time for self-care. Out of 10, at least seven people are suffering from hair fall problems. The major reason for this is that we do not know our hair type and scalp. Using the shampoos randomly is adversely affecting our hair, resulting in several problems.

In my case, I have dry hair. Earlier, I used to apply any shampoo on my hair and when I went to the salon; my beautician used to suggest some fancy shampoo and labelled it as “good for your hair”. Since I love my hair (well who does not) and am very concerned about it, I bought shampoo and conditioner which cost around 1800 Rs.

“Straight, wavy or curly, if it’s healthy, it’s beautiful”

The outcome was, after applying that product made my hair duller and frizzier than ever. Finally, I stopped using those shampoos. After doing vigorous research about my hair type, I found out that my hair-type is Dry. Thus, I stopped buying some random fancy products and started using shampoos suitable for my type.

In this blog, I will tell you the different types of the scalp. These basic ideas gave me a permanent solution to my scalp related problems, hope will be the same for you too! There is a major difference between Hair types and Scalp. In this blog, I will explain various types of hair. Knowing your scalp type helps you to choose the right shampoo and conditioners. You also get to choose the perfect treatment for your scalp and hair.

Know Your Scalp Type for Better Care Of Your Hair

Alike the different skin-types, we have the same types for the scalp. They are

Oily-type
Dry-type
Normal-type
Combination-type

1. OILY SCALP- HOW DO I RECOGNIZE MY SCALP-TYPE?

This is a very common question of how to decide the type of hair. Wait until you answer these questions-
1. On waking up, do you feel like your hair has oiled?
2. Does your hair become unsteady after blow-dry?
3.One of the major things which help you decide whether your scalp is oily or not that if you have pimples on your forehead often?
4. If you are finding dead-skin flakes in your hair or on your shoulders, you might have dandruff, a condition also known as ‘seborrheic dermatitis’.
5. Can you smell a scent in your hair?
Due to excess sebum production, the scalp looks oily, whereas your hair might look slick, heavy, and stringy. People who have an oily scalp frequently experience itchy scalp, which typically accompanied by visible dandruff.
1. An oily scalp is the result of febrile sebaceous glands, which, in turn, is the result of excess sebum.
2. Sebum is a natural waxy that moisturizes our skin and hair, in general, it is a wax/oily
3. if you have an oily scalp, there are chances of pimples or acne and dandruff.

ELUCIDATIONS: OILY-TYPE
1.if you have an oily scalp, there are some solutions I will recommend for your hair:
2. Consume a diet that is low in sugar and avoid having processed or oily food.
3. If your scalp often gets sweaty, try using a dry shampoo alternatively with a regular shampoo. DO NOT SHAMPOO MORE THAN THRICE A WEEK.
4. Use a product, which hydrates your skin and gives volume to your hair.
5. Leave your shampoo in the scalp for a couple of minutes after applying shampoo on the scalp. It helps in increasing the volume of your hair after the wash.

2. DRY SCALP- HOW DO I RECOGNIZE MY SCALP-TYPE?
Sort to answer the below questions, if you are suffering from any of these problems, you have dry scalp.
1. Is your hair frizzy or unmanageable most of the time?
2. Does your hair break often as you comb your hair?
3. Does your hair become knotty frequently?
4. Do you feel itchy on the scalp, often?
5. Do you find flakes of dead skin like dandruff?
If your answer is yes, then have a dry scalp. The reason could be that it is a result of a lack of natural moisture. Our glands create a natural moisturizing substance – sebum (as discussed earlier). Due to the environmental changes, and consuming harmful chemicals, the level of sebum is reduced. If you do not help, your body replaces this dehydration; your skin cells dry out, start flaking, and these flakes are different from the dandruff flakes.
One of the reasons for hair fall is dry hair and scalp. If you have dry hair, then needs to be repaired by using the right products and maintaining a proper diet and dietary pattern as well.

ELUCIDATIONS: DRY-TYPE
1. Avoid using hair dryers.
2. Clean your scalp by washing hair; at least 2 to 3 times a week. It will reduce hair breakage.
3. Use a shampoo, which contains moisturize and hydration properties.
4. Do a hair spa within 2 to 3 months. It will make your hair smooth and repair hair breakage.
5. Oiling; it is necessary to oil your hair with warm oil before a quick hair wash.
If you have dry hair, then you must try out some DIY and homemade solutions.

3. NORMAL SCALP- HOW DO I RECOGNIZE MY SCALP-TYPE?
If your answer is ‘yes’ to these questions, then have a normal scalp
1. Is your hair dry in winters and oily in summer?
2. Do you find your hair manageable without using many products?
If your answer is yes then congratulations, you have a normal scalp, which is VERY, VERY RARE AND YOU ARE FORTUNATE! |
If you take a well-balanced diet and reduce the usage of synthetic hair products, then you can maintain your scalp as it is.
Usually, a normal scalp has balanced pH levels. Normal pH level helps destroy harmful bacteria and maintain healthy hair.

ELUCIDATIONS: NORMAL-TYPE
If you want to maintain normal-type hair, then
1. Minimize the usage of chemicals/synthetic products.
2. Avoid dying and perming your hair.
3. Use a shampoo that contains pH-balanced substances.

4. COMBINATION SCALP- HOW DO I RECOGNIZE MY SCALP-TYPE?
1. Does your hair become frizzy /tangled on some days and oily on others?
2. Do you have a lot of split ends?
3. If your roots are oily but your ends are dry and rough, then you have combination hair.
one of the main reasons could be that excessive oils are blocked at the root level; which leaves your hair-tips dry.

ELUCIDATIONS: COMBINATION-TYPE
1. On doing yoga or exercise, if your scalp becomes too sweaty, just wash your hair with normal water without shampoo.
2. Use a mild shampoo
3. Oiling the strings of the length of hair
4. Use the same shampoo on your scalp which is used on an oily scalp.
5. For combination-type of hair; conditioner is a must.
Now you know your hair and scalp type. Carefully, use the shampoos according to your types of the scalp. I will suggest that you go for DIY and home remedies for hair fall and hair regrowth. Just comment below on which kind of hair you have.

Most 15 Harmful Chemicals That Should Be Avoided For Hair And Health

August 13, 2020 5 Comments In Beauty & Wellness

When it comes to hair, it’s one of the important things which can increase your beauty and confidence. Well, one of the major roles for hair fall is hair shampoo. There are many harmful chemicals in the shampoo which is harmful to hair and health too.

The overall chemical composition of hair is
42 to 45 % carbon appx,
26 to 28 % oxygen appx,
14 to15 % nitrogen appx,
6 to7 % hydrogen appx and
4 to 5 % sulphur appx.

The hair shaft is essentially composed of keratin. So keratin treatment is very important. Hair keratin is hard, compact and strong. This fibrous protein is gradually formed inside cells from the germinal layer.
After having brief insights about our hair contents, now let me throw some light on chemicals/compounds that may hinder your hair’s growth and in a worst-case scenario may affect our health-giving rise to various diseases.
1.sulfates
2.parabens
3.polyethylene Glycols (PEG)
4.Phthalates
5. Formaldehyde
6. Triclosan
7.Dimethicone
8.Retinyl palmitate
9.Alcohol
10.Fragrances
11. Colours
12.Toluene
13.Resorcinol
l14.Selenium sulfide
15. Quaternium-15

1. Sulfates;- it is used for cleaning dirt and excess natural oil which is produced by your body’s sebaceous (it’s called sebum) from hair. These surfactants like SLS, SLES, ALS etc are very harmful chemical which can damage your hair and hormone disruptors if it is used for perpetuated periods.

2.Parabens -It is used by manufacturers for preservatives purposes which are called parabens. They avert bacteria. Parabens have many types but in shampoos widely used parabens are butyl, propyl and ethyl parabens, clinically it does not prove but it can increase the risk of breast cancer.

3.polyethylene Glycols (PEG)-It is not proved yet that PEG is toxic, but hair experts believe that PEG can have a damaging effect on your scalp. Polyethene glycol is spin-off petroleum that is used as a thickener

4. Phthalates-If your shampoo has this content, please just avoid using your shampoo.it is the most harmful chemical which can cause infertility amongst us. It is used to increase the density/volume of a product. It is used for shampoo to stay intact to the scalp.

5. formaldehyde- It is used as preservatives. The main problem with this chemical is that it is absorbed by your skin and in the long term, it can give skin disease. Bronopol, imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, quaternion-15 and Diazolidinyl urea are all formaldehyde releasers.

6. Triclosan-Again I would recommend discarding using your shampoo if it contains triclosan chemical because it is a hormone disruptor and it is believed that it gets amassed with your fat cells which makes your body prone to toxicity. Triclosan has some benefits as well as it is used as content for anti-bacteria in soaps /shampoo.

7. Dimethicone-It acts as a protective layer to the hair shaft also it prevents moisture from entering the hair. On contrary to this it can also cause scalp irritation by clogging the pores.

8. Retinyl palmitate-It is used as an antioxidant, Retinyl palmitate contains vitamin A in alcohol form. Its disadvantages can be skin itching, redness, peeling, it is known to cause cancer and generate problems to various organs.

9. Alcohol-Alcohol can make your hair dry. It is used as a thickener in the shampoo /conditioner. Bad alcohol, SD Alcohol 40, Propyl Alcohol can make your scalp strand. It keeps away moisturizer from your scalp.

10. Fragrances-Added synthetic/ artificial fragrances in the shampoo/soaps can be the reason for cancers, asthma attacks and sometimes reproductive issues. It also affects your scalp and therefore there is a possibility of hair fall. If you have sensitive skin then you should avoid fragrances as it can give you a major headache.

11Toluene.This chemical is found on nail polish, shampoo, hair mask, conditioners. It is also known as benzene, methylbenzene, phenylmethane and toluene. It is the most toxic chemical in the market and we should avoid using this chemical as below issues can be caused
1. Damages the fetus at the development stages.
2.it also affects the central nervous system.

13. Resorcinol-Basically, it is used in hair dye and permanent hair colour. If it is used in excess then it can affect the immune system and disrupt the endocrine system.

14. Selenium sulfide– is an antifungal medicine, it prevents fungus from growing in your skin so it is used for dandruff treatment. Skin irritation, dry hair can surface due to its use.

15. Quaternium-15-It is also used as preservatives. a quaternary ammonium salt used as a surfactant and preservative in many cosmetics and industrial substances.
Cons –
1. it is a possible eye irritant
2. It is known as a human skin toxicant
