Credit Role: Ms. Bharti Taneja, Director of ALPS Beauty Clinics

RRR Facial:

This is amongst the successful skin treatments to combat signs of skin-ageing. As the three R’s imply – this facial, rehydrates, regenerates and rejuvenates the skin. So, if you encounter sagging or loss of elasticity on your skin, due to age or any other factor – this treatment is sure to prove beneficial by treating such issues.

How it works?

The elements involved in this treatment boost the collagen production in the skin-cells – making you do away with early signs of ageing. This process involves exfoliating and enhancing the fabrication of new cells for faster renewal of your skin – which shows off! The facial is done using micro-massager or uplifting machine which uplifts your face while making the saggy skin firm and elastic. In the end, a face mask called ‘young-skin’ mask is applied all over your face –containing 95% of collagen. This works as a great skin-food and rehydrates your skin as well – improving its firmness and flexibility.

Photo Facial:

The process of Photo Facial takes around 60 minutes and starts with thorough cleansing of the skin; like any other facial. This treatment is often done by a professional Doctor – who follows the process of Intensed Pulsed Light (IPL) and infuses light rays called, genone, deeper inside your skin. It enhances the production of collagen – a protein found underneath your skin and responsible for its flexibility. This procedure increases upto 50% production of collagen in your cells – while preventing maturing skin’s issues; such as, wrinkles and fine lines, saggy skin to occur on your face – while keeping it firmness enact. Also, this improves the cellular activity of the skin and decreases melanin formation for keeping brown spots etc, at bay. This also augments the action of nourishing elements inside the skin layers – eventually, making it appear better in texture. Also, responsible for boosting the regeneration process of the cells, this treatment concludes along with applying a ‘young-skin’ mask again, for a smoother, firmer skin.

How it works?

This facial lightens the occurrence of fine lines and wrinkles and makes your skin glow by removing spots of ageing on your face. Moreover, the treatment can also be used to making loose skin tighter, by implementing a latest technology using light. Besides slowing down signs of early ageing – this facial also removes pigmentation spots upto a great extent.

Grooming tips for corporate women traveller

Earlier round-the-clock performance was like an impossible dream. But, today it is most women’s claim to fame. For the working class, time is money and dressing for success is inevitable. This does not just include choosing the right outfits or accessories, but also personal grooming and makeup.

Women today strive to balance home, family, work and social obligations, with equal aplomb. And what they can’t miss out on is their own look at home or work.

Frequent travel and power point presentations might leave them tired, but their professional appearance always has to match their personal achievements. The business attire cannot be distractingly sexy, drab, or colourful. One must also keep some simple yet important grooming tips in mind while indulging in regular business meets or frequent corporate traveling-

• Avoid using too much perfume or oils. Scents can trigger asthma or overpower a conversation in a room. At the same time, do not smell of smoke.

• While making that sales pitch, make sure your hands look pretty. Avoid wearing too much jewellery.

• Your hairstyle should be neat and conservative. Make sure it is easily manageable while traveling as well.

• Keep your makeup minimal and appropriate during the daytime.

Caring about how you look and paying attention to details demonstrates that you are serious about your work as well needs of co-workers and clients alike.

Too much travel can take a toll on anyone. To avoid such hassle, it is always important to pencil in your travel dates and stay ready, much ahead of time.

One challenge of travel is how to pack light? If you are going to more than one destination with varied temperatures, do not pack multiple outfits. Deal with temperature variations with layering. Always plan a capsule wardrobe, which includes a silk shirt, cashmere sweaters, tights or leggings, pashmina scarves or stoles. Make sure you carry at least one camisole or tank top. Try and keep items that are lightweight and washable.

Before coming to your makeup, here are a few suggestions to plan your wardrobe properly-

1. Research your destination. Check your itinerary to see how many formal and casual sets of clothing would you need.

2. Plan your colours depending on the place and your schedule. Pick neutral colours and white, cream, black.

3. Mix and match items to plan your wardrobe.

4. First pack basic items like bras, underwear, half-slip, tops, bottoms, and shoes and then add extra items like a dress, another sweater or top.

5. Once you are back, review what you used and what you didn’t to help better planning for the next time.

You can consider the following makeup techniques to create your vanity box.

1. Limit your makeup palette- Once you know your wardrobe colours, you can easily toss out lipsticks and eye shadows that don’t match.

2. Double-use products- Carry a moisturizer with a sunscreen, four in one pencil and combination blusher/lip gloss.

3. Decant everything into small bottles or tubes- Make use of small jars or lens cases to store liquids or cleansing solutions. Do not carry big bottles as it adds unnecessary weight.

4. Take miniature brushes and tools- Invest in a set of travel makeup tools like mini eyelash curler and other brushes.

5. Carry makeup removal pads.

6. Minimize electronics like hair dryer or straightening iron.

I bring to you a checklist detailing everything you must carry depending on your needs. If possible, store these items in a different drawer at home so it is easy to pack them at once.

An Ultimate travel check list-

• Hair colour

• Hair fiber

• Hair mousse

• Sunglasses and spectacles

• Slippers

• Socks

• Toothbrush

• Toothpaste

• Beauty Grains

• Soap

• Tissues

• Wet Tissues

• Spoon

• Filer

• Nail Paint

• Scissors

• Gel

• Hair Spray

• Tail Comb

• Cottom

• Medicines

• Lens and solution

• Snacks

Make sure you shampoo your hair before taking off. Carry a dry shampoo in case you feel you won’t get time to wash them on the trip. Perfumes are a must to be well scented. A hand sanitizer in the bag and foot spray to prevent foot must feature in your pouch. Mouth fresheners, toothpicks, ear buds to maintain the highest levels of hygiene is crucial.

We all need a quick touch-up after a long train or flight journey, Carry the lipstick and eye shadow matching that day’s outfit in your bag. Cold eye pads or cold teabags will help rid puffiness from the eyes. Instead of watching television on a long flight, it is better to sleep. Do some exercises on board to not have a stiff back at the end of travel. Carry a change of dress, deodorant, safety pins etc. for emergency.

For an avid corporate woman traveller, it is best to always stay ready for immediate meetings in and out of town or country. A few handy tips to stay ready would consist of going for facials regularly. Haircut, permanent straightening or curling could set your hair and make them manageable.

To save time, you could also explore a permanent method of applying makeup on the face using FDI approved pigments that are inserted deep into the skin. Permanent makeup is applied in the form of lip colour, eyeliner, eyebrow and even a beauty spot to define and enhance a person’s appearance, reducing the time and money spent on daily beauty preparations and to look beautiful for years together.

For all the women who face unique challenges balancing life at home and on the road can consider this a corporate boot camp to ease their hectic schedules with effective makeup and styling tips.

Bikini Waxing: Tips and frequently asked questions

Bharti Taneja

What are the things to keep in mind before getting bikini wax done first time?

Bikini area is sensitive and if you are going in for your first session, tread carefully! Hygiene is of paramount importance while choosing the salon you visit. The practitioner should wear gloves during the procedure. Also, the knife used to apply the wax should be sterilized and separate wax should be used. An antiseptic lotion or cream is essential and must be applied before and after the session. The person attending to you should also have been specifically trained to perform Bikini waxing and have enough experience in the same. After, considering all of the above, look at the cost to make a final decision. If you follow these few simple rules, the procedure is a simple, quick and efficient way of hair removal.

How does it happen? Explain the procedure.

The first step should always be cleaning the area with a generous dose of antiseptic lotion. The wax should be then applied in the direction of the hair. Once you put a strip over the wax, stretch the area properly and pull. It`s important to stretch the skin, to ensure all hair is removed with minimal pain. This should be followed by antiseptic lotion again, to reduce the risk of infection.

How to reduce pain during bikini wax session?

Bikini waxing is a painful procedure so you have to make your mind up before you head to the salon. The best way to reduce pain is to stretch the skin properly and in the right direction before pulling off the strip. It`s also a good idea to divert your attention away from the procedure. Read a book, catch up on your mails or simply talk to a friend to stay distracted.

How it is better than temporary hair removal creams or Shaving?

Shaving only cuts the hair from the surface and the roots remain intact which means the hair starts growing back in a day and the entire growth is back by a week. The entire process is tedious and time consuming. Another drawback is that the hair comes back thicker and usually irritates the sensitive skin in the area when it’s growing back.

Hair removal creams are also very cumbersome and there are chances of getting allergies from the chemicals used. Also, prolonged use of these creams will darken the area considerably which can make it appear unsightly.

What are the benefits of getting bikini wax done regularly?Apart from being a very hygienic solution, it also removes the hair from the root and thus you need to go for a session once a month and sometimes even longer! Over time, getting regular bikini wax sessions makes the hair follicle finer and easier to pull out. So the more sessions you go for, the less painful it is to extract the hair.

What time of the month is best to get bikini wax done?

There isn`t a particular time which is better but scheduling your appointment a few days before your menstrual cycle is advisable.

Mention different types of waxes used for waxing the bikini line. Howdo they differ?

When it comes to bikini waxing, it`s best to avoid Rica wax which is normally used for waxing other body parts. Opt for chocolate or flavoured Aloe Vera wax which are definitely less painful and give you better results. I personally recommend chocolate wax, which is the least painful and most effective of all, besides leaving you smelling great!

Tips to avoid infection after bikini wax session.

The best way to avoid infection is to keep hygiene in mind before anything else. Use of antiseptic lotion before and after the session is essential. Before the procedure ensure the practitioner is wearing gloves and is using a separate wax and sterilized knives. Throw away strips should be used instead of the reusable ones. The more hygienic the entire process, lesser the chances of infections will arise.

This will definitely provide you with a nice professional color while making your husband swoon-over you!

Go for Perming/Straightening:

A change in hair texture/style is able to bring about ‘huge-some’ difference in your personality too. Especially, if you are heading towards your honeymoon – this change is pleasantly welcomed by your lover as well others when you come back. Therefore, it is suggested to go for permanent styling such, as perming/straightening just before your nuptials to keep flaunting you hair-makeover even after your honeymoon. This would make sure that your friends flow with envy after seeing a brand-new look of yours upon returning.

Avail Permanent Makeup:

Roaming around with chipped nails/nail paints shows that you are not groomed enough and can be a turn-off for your man! And, whichever nail-polish you may apply, it does not stay for more than a week and reapplying becomes a bit hectic, especially, when you’re on your honeymoon.  At the same time, it is difficult for you to apply your paint like an expert; so this also makes things complicated for you.

Opt for them, if you want to flaunt latest colors and designs on your nails to make them look more attractive, without worrying about applying nail color every other day, as these last up to 20 days after application!  You can also go for 3D nail-art to infuse some more boldness to your avatar.

Expert Health And Beauty Tips For Busy Brides To Get Glowing Skin

You tend to indulge in every aspect of beauty before your much-awaited wedding to emerge as a perfect bride; be it your hair, makeup or your outfit.  In the meanwhile, no matter how hard you try, the never-ending wedding shopping and tiresome outings makes it difficult for your skin to retain its glow.

As what you eat shows absolutely on your skin, therefore with a proper and healthy diet regime, you can certainly maintain your beauty while you are out to shop. Let me share a healthy regime that all busy brides should follow, if they wish to emerge as the prettiest bride of the world!

Eat Healthy

Wedding shopping snatches a lot of your time for sure. During this whole hustle-bustle of wedding preparations you end up messing-up with your daily schedule. In that case, you might often go out skipping on the essential meals as well as the nutritional needs, which would make your skin to lose its lustre. Therefore, it is advisable to have a wholesome meal, which includes yoghurt, sprouts, eggs, veggies, etc., as your breakfast. This will help you to stay active and energised for the rest of the day.

But, in case you are in an excessive hurry, here is a quick and healthy recipe that would help you get your dose of wholesome nutrition in a jiffy.

For this,

• Steam a bowlful of sprouts in a microwave.
• Add chopped red pepper, yellow pepper, tomato, onion, green chilies and mix well.
• Now, garnish with grinded homemade cottage cheese (toned paneer), lemon juice and add salt-to-taste.

The sprouts will fulfil the protein needs of your body while multi-coloured veggies in the recipe contain antioxidants, which are excellent for your skin’s healthy and beauty. Besides these, paneer acts a great calcium source, and lemon will make your skin glow with health through its vitamin-C content. Now isn’t it a quick, hassle-free and tasty way to keep yourself healthy and beautiful? So, try it out!

Apart from these sprouts, you can also make a chickpea salad, or keep a healthy roll or sandwich with you while you are on the go.

Tasty Fruits

Yes, often while shopping, you also might feel the urge of having something to eat, after getting all tired and exhausted. Well, instead of having oily-fried food that is available readily in the market, having an apple or an orange as your midday snack is a wiser choice.

Besides the fact that they hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, the very smell of a fruit can prove quite de-stressing on a hectic day. Therefore, carrying a pre-washed fruit in your bag is advisable, when you are out running around for your wedding-preparations.

You can also have a glass full of fresh fruit juice to brighten your skin tone from within. For instance, juice of pomegranate with pineapple would fulfil iron and vitamin-C needs of your body; while infusing a natural flush on your skin.

Water Power

Benefits of water for supple skin are not hidden from anyone; and since it is your wedding, so its significance becomes more. Guzzling around 10-12 glasses of water improves the blood circulation and flushes the toxins out of your body. This will also help to keep your skin hydrated while making your skin texture smoother and glowing. 

You may also opt for fruit juices, lemonade, coconut water or other healthy drinks to keep yourself hydrated along with satiating your taste buds in a healthy way. Just stay far away from aerated beverages and hard drinks. As, these prove to be great alternatives for water and are easily available everywhere.

So, no matter how busy you are, now no need to use that as an excuse to ignore your health and skin. Use these tips to keep your skin healthy and beautiful.
