    Why Do You Need to Shift From a Normal Razor to a Safer One?

    February 12, 2021 /

    Typically all the men buy Multi-Blade Cartridge Razors. Why? The answer would be – “it is much easier and less time-consuming.” Probably you are right. But think of why you shave. Isn’t it because you need your face to be neat-looking? Maybe to leave a distinct impression or for your satisfaction, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is how good-looking you are by the end of the shave.   But, this specific result is questionable in the case of regular razors. By this point, you will be thinking – WHY? Here is all that you need to know about standard razors and safety razors. Which is popular? Normal razors are…

    It is highly likely that you’ve had a rash at some point or another, whether from a poisonous plant or the chickenpox or something even more unusual (not what you’re thinking). And you probably find yourself imagining why your skin breaks out in red spots like that. More importantly, if there’s anything you can do about it. Well, yes, there is. In simple words, the cells in our body, whenever they detect any suspicious activity in our body, they begin a sort of chain reaction beneath the skin that results in inflammation. For all you more interested folks, the medical name for this is dermatitis but the less interested folks…

They just have to fulfil these 5 criteria we have mentioned below to becoming your ideal skin care product. Again, while there are several ways to save on personal care, skincare is one area where you shouldn’t be frugal. After all, it’s for your own skin. Choose the right product. If you don’t know which product is right for your skin, consult. Big mistake consumers make while shopping for skin care products is not doing their research.

    Oily skin is what you’re born with so you can’t really get rid of it, but you can maintain it. It is the result of the overproduction of sebum from under the skin’s surface. Sebum is an oily substance made of fats. Before you jump to conclusions, Sebum isn’t all bad because it helps protect and moisturise your skin. It also helps keep your hair shiny and healthy. But then again, nothing exceeds like excess. Too much sebum, however,  can lead to clogged pores and acne. Basically, genetics, hormonal changes may play a role in increasing sebum production but even stress can harm your skin in more ways than one.…

    These days when you go shopping for your grooming and shower essentials, you may have noticed that “paraben free” labels are popping up everywhere. What are parabens? Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in personal care products — stopping fungus, bacteria and other microbes from growing in your favorite products, especially in the moist, warm environment of a bathroom. Chemically, they are a series of parahydroxybenzoates or ester of parahydroxybenzoic acid. Parabens are effective preservatives in many types of formulas. These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. They are found in shampoos, commercial moisturisers, shaving gel, personal lubricants, topical/paternal pharmaceuticals, suntan products, makeup and toothpaste. They are…

Especially because the skin on your lips is more sensitive, it can very easily dry up, become chapped, and darken. Again, we tend to not care as much about our lips as we do our face.

    There is lots of misleading information out there in regards to alcohol in skincare, it’s easy to see why some people believe it really isn’t all that bad for skin. However, alcohol as the main ingredient in any skincare product is a problem. When we express concern about the presence of alcohol in skincare or makeup products, we’re referring to a drying type of alcohol that you’ll most often see listed on an ingredient label as SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, or, less often, isopropyl alcohol. These types of volatile alcohols give products a quick-drying finish, immediately degrease skin, and feel weightless on skin, so it’s easy to see their appeal,…

    Everyone loses hair. It is normal to lose about 50-100 hairs every day. If you see bald patches or lots of thinning, you may be experiencing hair loss. Here are a few causes of Hair Loss Alopecia Areata:  Alopecia areata is a disease that causes hair to fall out in small patches, which can remain unnoticeable. These patches may eventually connect and then become noticeable, however. This disease develops when the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. Androgenetic Alopecia: One cause of male pattern baldness is genetics, or having a family history of baldness. Research has found that male pattern baldness is associated with male sex hormones…

    For centuries, Chinese women have viewed collagen as a Fountain of Youth, routinely consuming foods like donkey skin in hopes of smoothing withered skin and preserving aging joints. Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, making 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. Collagen helps give structure to our hair, skin, nails, bones, ligaments and tendons in our body. Thanks to collagen, we’re better able to move, bend and stretch. Collagen is also behind helping hair shine, skin glow and nails stay strong. In short, collagen acts like a natural glue-like substance that our body constantly produces to hold our skeleton and internal organs in place. In fact,…

    Putting in the simplest of words, dry skin happens when your skin runs out of moisture. If you have a dry skin type, it just means your skin is lacking oil. Dry skin is a natural condition wherein your skin feels cracked, even itchy in some cases. It can happen for a number of reasons, chief among which is your skin naturally being dry. But then again, if you don’t generally have dry skin, it is possible you might have experienced dry patches on some parts of your body. Exposure to adverse weather, extremely hot water, a certain set of chemicals could be one of the causes. And in most…

It is also the reason your hair stay straight and shiny. Over the years, the keratin content in your hair depletes substantially, famously due to diet and lifestyle changes. This is why your hair looks frizzy and dry. Keeping it short, your hair is primarily made up of Keratin, it is a protective nutrient that is much lesser prone to scratching or tearing than many of the proteins your body produces. Now, seeing as it is the structural building block of your hair,…

Funny thing, Jojoba oil, despite its name, is actually a liquid (almost) plant wax but we’ll still go with Jojoba oil instead of Jojoba wax to avoid confusion seeing as beard oil is the product we’re discussing. If you have a beard you’ve probably heard about beard oil and if not - where have you been? Presently though, Jojoba oil is more commonly used as a remedial medicine for acne, psoriasis,…

    Ingrown hair is a condition where hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin. The condition is most prevalent among people who have coarse or curly hair. It may or may not be accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle or "razor bumps" which vary in size. While ingrown hair most commonly appears in areas where the skin is shaved or waxed (beard, legs, pubic region), it can appear anywhere. Improper hair removal techniques may lead to ingrown hair cysts, Removing a hair can also cause the new hair that grows in its place to grow sideways and eventually curl back down.

    Essential oils are highly concentrated volatile plant extracts. An essential oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived. Essential oils are obtained through different extraction methods, and the part of the plant we get the essential oil from can be different depending on the oil but is typically the most aromatic part. Essential oils are highly concentrated oils that have a strong aroma, in fact, just one drop of an essential oil can have powerful health benefits. Essential oils have been used for thousands of years in various cultures for medicinal and health…

    Blackheads are blocked hair follicles (pores) on your skin that are clogged due to dead skin cells and excess oil. These pores are generally referred to as blackheads because the exterior seems dark or just a horrid black. Blackheads are a form of acne, the mild kind. They usually form on the face, but they’re not restricted to just the face. They can also form on your back, chest, neck, arms, and shoulders. Despite what you believe, blackheads can appear on non-oily skin too. So, literally, no one is in the safe. People who have oily skin are more susceptible to blackheads, yes, but anyone can get them. They usually…

So, despite your age, if you magically wake up with a face full of pimples one day, don’t let it get you down.  The good news, however, is that despite your age, the right skin care product can help tone down your acne problems to a bare minimum. Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, dirt, and sebum (your skin’s natural oil). It tends to appear as whiteheads, blackheads or pimples and can pop-up anywhere on the face, scalp, chest, and back.…
