Simple ways to protect your skin from sunburn

Cool water
Sunburn is a type of skin inflammation that occurs when the skin is exposed to the sun. Cooling down the affected area is one of the simplest techniques to relieve inflammation. Jumping in the water, whether it's an ocean, lake, or stream, is an excellent technique to relieve sunburn right away, even if you're still outside. Sunburn can be avoided by dipping in and out during the day. Pools should be avoided because chlorinated water irritates the skin even more. You should also avoid putting ice straight on your skin. Although it may appear pleasant when your skin is burning, it could actually worsen the damage to your burnt skin, which is already sensitive.

 

Aloe vera 
You should get an aloe vera plant if you don't already have one. For ages, the gel inside this succulent plant has been used to treat anything from upset stomachs to kidney problems. It's also the most prevalent over-the-counter sunburn treatment.
Breaking off a piece of the plant and applying the gel straight to the skin provides instant, calming treatment from moderate sunburn. If you can't find a plant, a 100% aloe vera gel will suffice (not an aloe-based lotion or ointment). These gels are widely available at pharmacies.

 

Find a shady spot.
By seeking shade under an umbrella, tree, or other shelter, you can lower your risk of skin damage and skin cancer. Even if you're in the shade, use sunscreen or wear protective gear to protect your skin.

 

Remember to use a moisturiser.
Your skin will still require some gentle loving care after the initial treatment. Applying moisturiser to the affected areas on a daily basis is one of the most critical things you can do to avoid — or at least minimise — skin peeling. To minimise skin irritation to a minimal, use a fragrance- and dye-free moisturiser (marketed for "sensitive skin").

You could also take a bath to assist chill and relax your skin.

The following are some at-home facial redness cures to try.
Protect the skin on your face from the sun by wearing sunscreen. When you're outside, always use sunscreen and wear a hat.
Observe a skincare regimen: Keep your face clean by just using cool water and gentle cleansers, and avoid allowing your skin to get too dry by controlling oil production.
Use products that are gentle or that are recommended: Try over-the-counter remedies tailored to your skin condition.
Take care of your general health: Make dietary, sleeping, and exercise improvements to boost your general health.
Reduce your stress levels: Make changes to your lifestyle that will assist you in reducing and managing stress.

Arti, a renowned brow specialist, Discusses Microblading

"Brows on fleek" would undoubtedly rank among the top five, if not three, obsessions with beauty in the present. That is how important brows are in the modern world. Over the years, brows have seen quite a revolution, going from thin and skinny to bushy and fluffy. One thing is undeniable: filled-in and fuller brows are here to stay, regardless of versions and trends that continue to emerge. Personally, I still have my eyebrow gel on (that adds volume, tint and separates each hair for a bushy look). People frequently choose microblading and nanoblading as an extension of the fuller brow trend.

HOW TO GET RID OF WRINKLES AT HOME WITH SIMPLE REMEDIES

Time improves all things, but it does not improve your skin. Aging is a natural part of life, but it ultimately catches up with everyone. Our skin ages and becomes damaged over time, resulting in dark spots, wrinkles, and dryness. But did you know that there are a few things we do to expedite the process? Yes, the most significant contribution to accelerated ageing is our ever-changing lives. Processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, and pollution are all factors that contribute to crow's feet, dark circles, and dull skin. We'll never know if science will ever find a way to reverse ageing. However, we can turn back the clock and restore the harm caused by ageing by using simple products from our kitchen and their healing touch. Anti-aging home remedies, unlike chemical therapies available on the market, are often free of adverse effects.
WELCOME TO THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES FOR AGING SKIN.
1. How to Get Rid Of Eye Wrinkles?
Because of our hectic schedules, we rarely get enough sleep, resulting in crow's feet and dark circles around the eyes. We start looking for ways to get rid of under-eye wrinkles as soon as we see them. Here are two of the simplest and most effective home cures for eye wrinkles.
Banana Mask
Whether you eat it, drink it, or mask it, this fruit superman will always deliver excellent results. This is due to the fact that bananas are high in vitamins A, B6, and C. Bananas, when used as an eye mask, fight the indications of ageing and counteract the damage produced by free radicals.
Use Instructions:
In a bowl, mash a banana until it forms a homogeneous paste.
With the use of your hands or cotton swabs, apply it evenly around the area of your eyes.
Gently dab it.
Allow 10 to 20 minutes for the process to complete. Using cold water, rinse it off.
Argan Oils
Because of its strong antioxidant content, Argan Oil is one of the finest home treatments for eye wrinkles. It's high in Vitamin E and fatty acids, which assist to hydrate and maintain the flexibility of the delicate skin cells around the eyes. Many indications of ageing, such as wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles around the eyes, can be treated with Argan oil.
Use Instructions:
Using your fingertips, apply 2-3 drops of Argan Oil.
In a circular motion, gently massage the region around your eyes.
Using lukewarm water, open your eyes.

Sunscreen Myths and Facts Everything You Need to Know

Introduction

Sunscreen is one of the most recommended skincare essentials by dermatologists worldwide, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. From confusing SPF numbers to myths about needing sunscreen only on sunny days, there’s a lot of misinformation circulating online and offline. Once you understand what sunscreen really does, it’s easier to protect your skin, keep that fresh, healthy look, prevent sunburn, and lower the chances of skin cancer.

This guide takes the mystery out of sunscreen. We’ll clear up common myths, share the real facts, and show you how to pick and use sunscreen with confidence — whether you’re a skincare pro or just starting to take sun protection seriously.

Why Sunscreen Matters

Sunscreen acts as a shield that helps block or absorb the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays come in two main forms:

UVA rays: These penetrate deeply into the skin and are largely responsible for premature aging, wrinkles, and skin damage.

UVB rays: These cause sunburn and play the biggest role in the development of skin cancers.

By using sunscreen every day, you’re guarding your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays — a small habit that plays a big role in long-term skin health.

Common Myths About Sunscreen (and the Facts Behind Them)

Myth 1: You Only Need Sunscreen on Sunny Days

Fact: UV rays can penetrate clouds, windows, and even clothing. Up to 80% of UV rays reach the earth’s surface on cloudy days, which means your skin is still exposed even when the weather looks gloomy. Wearing sunscreen daily—rain or shine—ensures consistent protection.

Myth 2: Darker Skin Doesn’t Need Sunscreen

Fact: While higher melanin levels in darker skin provide some natural protection, they don’t make anyone immune to UV damage. Darker skin tones can still develop hyperpigmentation, premature aging, and skin cancer. Everyone, regardless of skin tone, benefits from wearing sunscreen.

Myth 3: Higher SPF Equals Unlimited Protection

Fact: SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures how well a sunscreen protects against UVB rays, but higher isn’t always dramatically better.

  1. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays.
  2. SPF 50 blocks about 98%.
  3. SPF 100 blocks about 99%.

No sunscreen blocks 100% of UV rays, and higher SPF doesn’t mean you can stay in the sun longer without reapplying. Reapplication every two hours (or after swimming/sweating) is key.

Myth 4: Makeup With SPF Is Enough

Fact: Foundation or BB cream containing SPF usually provides less protection than advertised because most people don’t apply enough. To get the SPF listed, you’d need to apply a much thicker layer than typical makeup use allows. Always apply a dedicated sunscreen underneath your makeup for full protection.

Myth 5: Sunscreen Causes Vitamin D Deficiency

Fact: Studies show that normal sunscreen use has minimal impact on vitamin D levels. Your body needs very little sun exposure to produce vitamin D, and incidental sun exposure from daily activities usually suffices. Plus, vitamin D can also be obtained through diet and supplements. Protecting your skin should take priority.
