When we were teenagers, we often wished that acne would disappear by the time we were in our 20s and 30s. We can all identify to that horrifying moment when you wake up and a bright, new friend is looking back at you, right in the centre of your chin or the tip of your nose, in a world where 85% of people have encountered acne! There are both good and bad news, I suppose. Acne can persist into adulthood, but the good news is that we now know how to treat it.

Pomegranates, hailed as a superfood in recent years, have grown in popularity as a fruit that helps reduce inflammation and enhance general health.

Polyphenols, powerful antioxidant-containing compounds found in other plant-based foods like berries and green tea, are responsible for many of these benefits.

Pomegranates may be able to boost your health from the inside out due to their nutritional richness. This could include your skin's wellness, although many of the claims presented online have certain limitations.

Introduction

Understanding your hair type is the foundational step toward building an effective hair care routine. Without knowing your hair type, you risk using products or styling methods that don’t suit your hair’s needs, leading to dryness, breakage, frizz, or limpness. In this guide, you will learn how to identify your hair type precisely — from curl pattern to texture, density, porosity, and more — so you can choose the best care for your unique strands.

In this article, you’ll discover:

• The major components of “hair type” (curl pattern, texture, density, porosity, etc.)

• Step-by-step tests you can do at home

• Tips for interpreting results

• Why it matters for product choice and styling

Let’s dive in.

What Does “Hair Type” Mean?

When people say “hair type,” they usually refer not to a single characteristic, but a combination of factors:

1. Curl / wave / coil pattern

2. Strand texture (fine, medium, coarse)

3. Density (how many hairs per square inch)

4. Porosity (how easily hair absorbs and retains moisture)

5. Elasticity / strength / health

6. Other factors, like hair thickness, length, and whether your hair is chemically treated

By combining these, you get a more complete picture of your hair. Two people may both have “curly hair,” but one might have fine, low-density hair, while the other has coarse, high-density curls. Their care needs will differ.

Many hair care systems (such as the Andre Walker system) focus primarily on curl / coil pattern as the first dimension. 

Below we break down each dimension and show you how to test and interpret.

Moisturize from the inside:
Drinking plenty of water and consuming water-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, can help keep your skin hydrated and looking healthy.

The indicators of aging include fine lines, wrinkles, and drooping skin. The skin loses its suppleness as you get older, resulting in sagging. Skin sagging can also be caused by dehydration, smoking, pregnancy, excessive alcohol intake, weight loss, and the use of the improper skin products. You can't stop sagging from happening, but you can certainly slow it down or lessen it. Here are some at-home natural methods for tightening sagging skin.

1. Aloe Vera gel

One of the greatest home treatments for skin tightening is aloe vera gel. It contains malic acid, which helps to increase the suppleness of the skin.

You'll need the following items:

To extract the gel, use Aloe Vera gel or Aloe Vera leaf.

Method:

Apply aloe vera gel to your face and neck after extracting it from the leaf. Allow it to sit on your skin for 20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. This should be done three to four times per week. Aloe vera gel can also be combined with honey and mayonnaise. This combination should be applied to your face and neck. Wash it off with cold water after about 20 minutes.
