Summer is here – which means strolls on the beach, exploring exotic locales, and more fun activities. However, the one downside of the warm weather and the blazing sun is tanning. In simplest terms, tanning is the darkening of your skin due to constant exposure to the sun. You see – your body picks on the potential photodamage to the skin and cues more melanin production to absorb the UV rays. Results? Discoloration and an uneven, patchy complexion. Luckily, tanning is not an untreatable concern. So, if your skin is prone to tanning, scroll ahead for 3 tested ways to remove it effectively. Method 1: Exfoliation For Removing Tanning How does it work: The first tried-and-tested method to detan is exfoliation. If you don’t know how it works – exfoliation buffs away the dead cells with excess melanin from the skin. Moreover, this process encourages healthy cellular turnover, unveiling the bright, even surface sitting underneath. How to do it: Use a store-bought or a DIY scrub (with honey and sugar). With a light hand apply the formula on the affected areas and wash it off after 5 to 7 minutes. Since over-exfoliation zaps your skin’s moisture, leading to dehydration and inflammation – we recommend using the scrub 2 to 3 times weekly. Expert tips: Avoid exfoliating the sensitive areas which are susceptible to flare-ups. Also, don’t skimp on your moisturizer after exfoliation. This skincare staple offsets any accidental flareups or inflammation on the skin. Method 2: Home remedies How does it work: Home remedies have been found extremely effective in removing tans. Infused with natural brightening agents, these DIY recipes minimize the risk of flare-ups. Here are the most common scrubs you can whip up at home- 1. Tomato and lemon mask Rich in lycopene, tomatoes help wane pigmentation due to tanning. Furthermore, lemon’s bleaching properties double down on efforts for an even skin tone. One must note that tomatoes also combat discoloration by gently exfoliating the epidermis. How to use: In a bowl, mix equal parts of tomato and lemon juice. Apply this mixture on tanned areas for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. Once through, follow up with a rich and non-comedogenic facial moisturizer. 2. Aloe vera gel Another effective way to bid farewell to tanning – aloe vera gel. The glycoproteins in the plant fade hyperpigmentation and the bradykinase promotes cellular turnover at night – obliterating facial tanning. The best part? Due to its antioxidant properties, aloe vera also prevents tanning at bay! How to use: Take fresh aloe vera from a plant and apply it on the tanned areas. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse off gently. 3. Yougurt and turmeric Who knew that 2 kitchen ingredients could make one infallible tan cure? Lactic Acid in yogurt exfoliates the skin’s outermost layer to remove tan – uncloaking a bright, even-tone surface underneath. Turmeric further brightens your complexion by inhibiting melanin synthesis in the skin cells. This pack also has nourishing properties that prevent dryness from sun exposure. How to use: Take 2 to 3 spoons of yogurt and add a pinch of turmeric to it. Mix it well and apply this concoct on the affected areas. Wash thoroughly after 15 to 20 minutes Although home remedies are safe for most skin types, we still recommend conducting a patch test first. Method 3: Professional Treatments If you have stubborn tanning, we recommend opting for a professional treatment. Here are the most popular ones available at your nearest dermatologist. 1. Chemical peels: This method exfoliates your skin’s outermost layer with a high concentration of Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid – fading tan in the process. 2. Laser therapy: Laser therapy uses focused beams to boost Collagen production in the skin cells, dwindling the appearance of tan and pigmentation. 3. Microdermabrasion: This popular technique uses fine crystals or a diamond-tipped device to exfoliate the epidermis. It can be used to fight tanning, pigmentation, and even acne scarring. Considerations opting for professional procedures: We recommend opting for the above professional treatments only under the guidance of a dermatologist. This intermediate step will minimize the risk of inflammation. Additional Steps To Prevent Tanning Moreover, you can employ these precautionary measures to keep tanning at bay. 1. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day: To prevent damage caused by UVA and UVB rays, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. For the Indian skin type, experts suggest opting for SPF 30 or higher. Apply 2 fingers’ worth of the formula roughly 20 minutes before stepping outdoors. 2. Cover exposed skin with clothing: Wear full-length sleeves and pants to avoid tanning on the limbs. Moreover, avoid getting direct sunlight between 10 AM to 4 PM. 3. Use hats and scarves to cover up: Prevent facial tanning with wide-brimmed hats and scarves on top of your sunscreen. Conclusion Skin tanning is caused due to incessant exposure to UV rays. Your body’s defense mechanism cues the overproduction of melanin to absorb the UV rays and prevent damage to the epidermis. Luckily, exfoliation, home remedies, and in case of severe episodes, professional treatments can remove tanning for bright and even-tone skin.

The skincare industry is plagued with myths and misconceptions – with a new one emerging every second. This haze of never-ending confusion can throw you off your skincare game, but not anymore. We are here to bust these myths for good, to help you redirect efforts for good skin minus the fluff and frill. At the end of this blog, we help you with simple yet effective tips that actually yield results. So, what are you waiting for? Keep reading - Common Skincare Myths Do you believe that a 10-step routine is the only way to have gorgeous skin or that you don’t need sunscreen on a rainy day? If yes, alas, you have fallen prey to sunscreen myths doing the rounds. In this next section, we help you bust many such common skincare. 1. Natural Ingredients Are Always Better For Your Skin – Myth Vs Fact? Hands down a myth. Studies show that natural ingredients aren’t necessarily safer or better for your skin type. Additionally, their results can be inconsistent – often causing irritation and flareups in sensitive skin individuals. 2. You don’t need sunscreen indoors – Myth Vs Fact? This is a myth. Unfortunately, your skin is not safe from the harmful rays of the sun indoors. UV rays can penetrate windows, causing burns, pigmentation and other forms of sun damage. Even on an overcast day, UV radiation can pierce through bands of clouds, wreaking havoc on the skin. So, keep a sunscreen with 30 or higher handy at all times. 3. Oily skin doesn’t need a moisturizer – Myth Vs Fact? Myth. Myth. Myth. This is the gravest error made even by seasoned skincare enthusiasts. Since oily skincare overproduces sebum, people refrain from moisturizing due to the fear of extra grease, clogged pores and general heaviness. However, a lack of moisturization leads to more oiliness than ever. Without a moisturizing layer, the skin loses water molecules dramatically, resulting in dehydration. This prompts the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode. 4. Anti-Ageing Products Are Only For Older People – Myth Vs Fact? Myth for sure. Anti-ageing products are for people wishing to age more gracefully. Using active ingredients like Retinol, Ceramides, and Hyaluronic Acid prevents premature ageing signs like fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and more. 5. Pores Can Open And Close – Myth Vs Fact? This is a very common skincare myth. Pores cannot physically open and close. They are openings on your skin that connect to hair follicles – playing an important role in natural moisturization, body temperature regulation, and flushing of toxins. How To Identify Skincare Misinformation? We mentioned a smattering of skincare myths that often lead us down the wrong path. However, there is no dearth of these misconceptions in the beauty industry. Here are some tips to identify these skincare myths. 1. No scientific backing: If a claim or an offering has no scientific backing, it can be misleading. 2. Lack of transparency: Brands and products that don’t explicitly mention their ingredients can add to misinformation in the space. 3. All-in-one solution: A skincare formulation can target only specific concerns based on its active ingredients. So, if a product claims to do it all, you know to steer clear of it. 4. Tall claims: Skincare is a science that requires persistent efforts over a period of time. Avoid products that claim to offer magical solutions. Effective Skincare Tips That Actually Work Here are some effective tips that guarantee good skin in the long run 1. Cleanse twice a day but steer clear of over washing: Use a gentle, pH-balancing face wash to remove dirt, grime, and other impurities from the pores – twice a day. However, steer cl.ear of over washing which dehydrates your skin, making it feel rough and dry. 2. Less is more: Simplify your skincare for best results. Use result-oriented formulas that target and address specific underlying concerns. Avoid slathering an assortment of products. 3. Wear moisturizer and sunscreen without fail: No matter your skin type, wear moisturizer and sunscreen daily. A potent moisturizer seals hydration and treatment into the skin, whereas a sunscreen averts harmful UV rays that cause burns, pigmentation, and ageing. Conclusion The barrage of skincare misinformation can lead you down the wrong path. To streamline your efforts for great skin, ensure to identify a myth vs a fact.

Just how you bust out cosy sweaters in the colder months – you need thicker, hydrating formulas that restore your skin’s moisture balance, fight dryness, and keep flareups at bay.

How Does Niacinamide Benefit Your Skin In Winters The nippy weather takes a toll on your skin. Enter Niacinamide! It helps 1.

Its topical application prevents TEWL or transepidermal water loss, ensuring a big, sturdy lock on your skin’s hydration. 2.

Incorporate Niacinamide in your daily skincare to enhance your skin’s latent radiance. The active ingredient seeps deep into the skin to curb melanin production across the skin cells, encouraging a more even skin tone. 5. Reduces dryness and flakiness: The colder months can be ‘rough’ on your skin. Use Niacinamide to lock in hydration, soothe inflammation, and improve overall skin texture. 6.

How to use: Use a few drops of the Hyaluronic Acid Serum on your face. Once it sinks it, apply an even layer of Niacinamide. Follow up with your favourite moisturizer and sunscreen. 2.

Moisture: After the Niacinamide Serum sinks into your skin, apply a generous layer of your favourite Foxtale moisturizer. A potent moisturizing formula forms a protective barrier on the dermis, sealing the Niacinamide molecules. But that’s not all. A moisturizer also offsets any accidental flare-ups or inflammation from using active ingredients. 5. Don’t skimp on sunscreen: The thumb rule of adding active ingredients into your skincare – never skimp on sunscreen. For those unaware, result-oriented actives can make your skin photosensitive.

Every skin type demands a unique approach for its upkeep and maintenance. Take, for example, the combination skin type. It carries characteristics of oily and dry skin, requiring formulations that cut excess sebum while ensuring intense hydration for the skin. Additionally, to tackle this tough combination of oil along the forehead, T-zone and chin while the rest of the skin feels dry – one must avoid certain skincare mistakes at all costs. Intrigued? Keep reading. Before we divulge this list of don’ts, let’s further understand combination skin. What Really Is Combination Skin? In simple terms, combination skin is both oily and dry – with the distribution varying from person to person. If you are confused whether your skin type is combination or not, here are some factors to consider. 1. Massive pores: Since combination skin carries excess shine along the T-zone, forehead, and chin – you may notice conspicuous and enlarged pores here 2. Inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne: The never-ending oil slick on your face attracts dirt, grim, and other pollutants all day. This unwanted buildup often clogs the pores, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, and even acne. 3. Uneven distribution of oil/dry patches: Another challenge faced by the combination skin type – you may observe an uneven distribution of grease and dryness during transitional weather. Case in point, during the colder months, the oily parts can feel normal while the dry patches may feel parched. What Are The Best Ingredients For Combination Skin? Before we get to all the combination skin mistakes, here’s a quick look at the best ingredients for this skin type. 1. Hyaluronic Acid: The potent humectant binds water molecules to the skin, banishing dry spots and patches from the skin. Moreover, ample hydration regulates sebum production ensuring a balanced microbiome along the T-zone, forehead, and neck. 2. Salicylic Acid: The oil-soluble ingredient cuts excess oil, unclogs pores and soothes inflammation – making it a great fit for the combination skin type. Salicylic Acid is meticulous yet gentle, it doesn’t make your skin feel stripped or uncomfortably dry. 3. Niacinamide: Skincare acid Niacinamide helps strike a balance between effective shine control and hydration. The topical application of Niacinamide acts like a sponge that soaks excess sebum and prevents clogged pores while ensuring a brightening effect for the skin. Niacinamide also prevents TEWL (or transepidermal water loss), upholds barrier health, and alleviates inflammation. 4. Lactic Acid: The gentle exfoliant expels excess oil and improves your skin’s water-holding capacity, making it a great choice for combination skin. What Are Some Mistakes That Combination Skin Should Avoid? To double down on efforts for great skin, here are all the combination skin mistakes to avoid - 1. Using harsh cleansers: Cleansing is the most important step in a skincare routine that removes dirt, grime, and other impurities from the pores. Using a harsh cleanser, however, makes your skin stripped and makes way for flare-ups. 2. Picking comedogenic products: It's no secret that combination skin is prone to clogged pores, especially along the forehead, down the nose, and around the chin. To avoid these concerns, we recommend using formulas that are non-comedogenic at all costs. 3. Giving your moisturizer a miss: Moisturization is key for healthy skin and combination skin type is no exception. A potent moisturizing formula creates a protective barrier on the dermis, preventing TEWL. This in turn preserves skin hydration and regulates oil control. 4. Going overboard: The best way to maintain your skin is by adhering to a simple yet effective daily routine. Use result-oriented formulas that address pertinent concerns and steer clear of redundancy. 5. Not exfoliating regularly: The process of exfoliation dissolves dead cells, debris and other impurities to elevate overall skin health.
