  • Power Dressing to the Office!

    We start with Hair
    First, ensure that your hair are not wet when you come to office. Wet hair signify that you are not taking your life seriously and you cannot manage time well- something you would not want anyone to think.
    Also, no loose hair! Tie them tight! Loose hair is elegance and beauty but power dressing is something to the point and not soft. So pin them up well!
    If, you feel that loose hair suit you and you want to go for them only, well then just gel them up well so that they don’t keep falling on your face and become a distraction.

    Next goes the face!
    No point being the goth queen at office. Let us keep that for after office so while your Red lipstick is perfect, don’t make your eye makeup too loud. Keep it light, because nothing has more power than simplicity.
    Also, your ear rings. Though most of you know it already but danglers or anything hanging is a pure pollutant for your entire official-formal dress. Avoid them totally.

    The Dress
    You don’t have to restrict yourself to your usual blacks, greys and whites! Add some solid colors like dark blue, pastels too, yellow looks smart and so does red. The only point to remember- ensure the prints are solid and avoid shine!
    Shine is cute and beautiful while Power comes to solid!

    The Watch
    As per surveys, more than 80% of the people pay attention to the watch so you know that you need to keep it classy too! Keeping it classy is not a big deal- just buy the one which goes with most of your outfits. The outfits- well we have mentioned them already!

    The Last- Your Footwear!
    You can go for any footwear, it is all perfectly fine! Just that if you go for peeptoes which you will many a times, ensure you have had a good pedicure because if your feet/toes look dirty- it just kills it!

    So! Keep these tidbits in check!

    See you soon!

  • Hair Transplant- The Common FAQs

    However, here are the 6 top-most queries that we receive on a daily basis. Answering them for you at one place itself so that you do not even have to search for Hair Transplant FAQs.

    How Does Hair Transplant Really Work?

    We have already mentioned what a hair transplant is like in layman terms- transplantation of hair follicles from one site on the scalp to another. To understand the science behind it, let us look at the various techniques through which hair transplant is done:
    FUT involves removing a 6 to 10 inch skin strip from the back of the head (harvesting hair follicles from the donor area), dividing it into grafts of either individual hair or a group of hair. In FUE however, the surgeon shaves the back of the head and removes (harvests) the follicles one by one. The procedure of planting the graft is same after this for both the techniques.
    Regardless of the harvesting technique (technique for removal of the hair follicles from the donor area) being used for hair transplantation, what matters most is the proper extraction of the hair follicles. Since the hair follicles grow at an angle to the surface, therefore the transplanted tissue must also be removed corresponding to that angle. It is because of this reason that getting the hair transplant done by an expert is of paramount importance for the success of the process.
    Though FUE is comparatively expensive and time consuming as compared to FUT yet it is preferred because first, unlike FUT, no stitch mark is left on the scalp as no skin is removed per se. Also, the results obtained are more natural and the postoperative recovery is usually faster.
    There is however another new and advanced technique for hair implantation called Direct Hair Transplant. The advantage that this technique has over the other two is that it does not require reception incision or making holes on the receptor surface.

    Is Hair Transplant worth it?
    Pretty subjective question considering how you define the worth. If it is worth the money- well totally. At least we can say this with regards to the procedures done at Kosmoderma. A one time investment which brings your hair back and makes you feel good about yourself is worth everything.

    Which technique should I go for to get a Hair Transplant?
    That depends on your budget and also your inclination towards surgical or non-surgical procedures. If you are open in these aspects, the effectiveness of all the techniques is at par. It is the recovery time that varies.

    Is Hair Transplant a permanent Solution?
    Yes, it is- to the areas where transplantation has been done. However, if you have a tendency for hair fall, thanks to your genetics, you hair will fall off from different spots on your scalp. But, the spots where the transplants were done- they will remain in tact.
    Also, a shock hair fall at the areas where the transplant has been done happens within a month of the procedure. You do not have to worry about it because, first it does not happen to all individuals and second, the hair grow back at those spots.
    So, in short- Hair Transplant is a permanent solution to your hair fall troubles.

    Do the results of Hair Transplant look normal or do they look like something artificial?
    The results i.e. the grown hair are totally normal like the rest of your scalp because they are your natural hair only. It is just the hair follicles which are transplanted and hence the hair that grow from them are as natural as they can be.

    Are there any alternatives to Hair Transplant?
    You can go for a hair wig or hair patch (a smaller variant of the vig) but they look unnatural and can be easily told from the rest of your hair. However, before you actually consider Hair Transplant, you can actually try treatments such as Growth Factor Therapy, PRP and Low Level Laser Therapy which facilitate hair regrowth.

    We hope that with this, we were able to answer most of your hair transplant related queries. If you still have some- ping us on facebook or just call us!

  • Rocking the Party with Desi Swag!

    This blog is more of a listicle, shortlisting 5 of the most trendiest and not too upwardly fashionable to be worn in your circle dresses which our men can rock in the parties and rock the parties in the process.

    The Dhoti-Kurta-Jacket Ensemble

    Dhoti Kurtas have always added to the glamour quotient and now when we have become so health conscious over time, the physiques that we have built over time- the dhoti kurta just adds to the awesomeness that we are.

    But, don’t play it dull with beige and cream shades. This season, revel in the colors of happiness and go bright like the fella in the image below.

    Also, you don’t have to go all shimmery. Go for silk dhotis with crisp silk kurtas and jackets and let the clothes be your identity!

    The Usual but the Bright!

    Kurta, Nehru Jackets and Choodidars are the usual but this time, brighten up the ambience with more cheerful colors. Also, there is nothing like, “girly colors”. There are colors that look good on you and colors that don’t and dull colors like your typical shades of white and dark ones which are mainly black for our male friends here- ditch them this time.

    The world is flashy and you need to flaunt it. Like our guy here is doing so effortlessly in the image below.

    The Two Color Code!

    If bright isn’t your thing and it will make you more uncomfortable than anything, well then there is a smart and sleek option for you too. Go for metallic shades- more matte then shiny. Options, well the one below; other options can be pastel brown and grey.

    We did tell about the trend but then we have somethings which are evergreen, never losing their charm! The browns, creams and beige of the world will always be in trend. They might not set you apart because they are so common but they will make you look good for sure!

    Here have a look below:

    The balloon churidars- only do not over balloon them and make them look like a chandelier! That kills the dress totally. The balloon extent in the image below is just right.

    The classic plain white kurta and Nehru Jacket- perfect till you are going to the wedding of an acquaintance and not a close friend. An acquaintance and not a friend because- well, you have to be the smarter one in the crowd and definitely not the “one” in the crowd!

  • The Potato Wonders

    We start with the health benefits that potatoes have for us:

    1. The first is helping in controlling blood pressure. With its high potassium content, it helps in more salt and water excretion thus maintaining a lower blood pressure. An average baked potato a day taken twice daily is good for having a balanced diet
    2. potatoes contain alpha lipoic acid and Vitamin C- a coenzyme and vitamin combination which is proven to be useful in treating depression and improving mental health.
    3. The magnesium and potassium content in the potatoes is known to prevent bone density loss, a utility which is specially important for the adults after the age of 35.
    4. And the last but definitely not the least important, the fibre content in potatoes helps in improving the digestion.

    This was about the health in general but considering our expertise which lies in Skin care, here is what potatoes do for our skin:

    Wrinkles:

    Potatoes are natural astringents. With Vitamin C and other collagen boosters in them, potatoes tend to reduce the wrinkles on the skin. Though a very drastic result should not be expected but if you have had a treatment and are looking for post care or your first wrinkles have just started showing up, a potato paste will help. Here is what needs to be done:

    1. Slightly soften (by boiling) and mash the potatoes in a thick paste
    2. Apply this paste on the areas where you are experiencing the fine line.
    3. Leave it for 20 minutes and then wash with cold water
    4. Moisturise well because potatoes tend to leave the skin dry

    Dark Circles:

    Dark circle reduction is a joint result of the presence of magnesium and catecholase enzyme in potatoes. While magnesium fights the free radicals which cause skin damage and darkening over time, catecholase enzyme is a natural skin whitening agent. To benefit from these two constituents of our friend potato, this is what needs to be done:

    1. Grate a potato and squeeze the juice out of it
    2. Use a cotton ball, gently dab it into the juice and keep applying it on the dark circles for about 15 minutes
    3. Let the juice dry for some 10 minutes now and wash it off with cold water

    Sunburn Treatment:

    The reason behind lies in the presence of calcium, Vitamin C and bleaching properties which help in temporary melanin reduction. What needs to be done is simple:

    1. Blend a potato with curd. Curd in specific because it helps the skin to cool off
    2. Apply the paste on the affected area and wait for 15-20 minutes
    3. Wash it off with cold water. Can apply ice cubes for better results after cleaning the paste off
    4. Moisturise well

    Skin Lightening:

    As mentioned before, potatoes have natural bleaching properties and helps in reduction of melanin production. For skin lightening purpose specifically, this is what needs to be done:

    1. Grate one potato and squeeze the juice out of it
    2. Mix it well with juice from half a lemon and apply it on your face
    3. Keep dabbing your skin with this juice for 10 minutes and then let it dry
    4. Once cried, wash it off with cold water and moisturise

    So, a single potato and so many uses to put it too! Shouldn’t we all love it then, after all it is more than just a potato for you!

  • The Economics of Laser Hair Reduction

    Let us assume it is once in a month- but that would mean not wearing your favourite dresses for at least 15 days but okay! We go a bit higher on the lazier side and make it once in 45 days which means almost 30 days of not wearing your favourite dresses which is just too much!

    So, once in 45 days becomes 8 times in a year and we assume that you would be the same young and gorgeous vivacious beauty for a period of at least 25 years after which some of you might just start having other life goals for which waxing wouldn’t matter much; but then a smooth you is no life goal right, it is just your choice!

    Without getting into philosophical hypothesis and talking feminism on our stride, let us talk about those 8 sessions taken over 25 years which become 200 sessions in your lifetime.

    Now average cost of waxing you arms, legs and under-arms stands at around ₹1000 (inclusive of taxes) so that makes it a whopping ₹200,000 i.e. TWO Lacs in your entire lifetime.

    ₹2 lacs for waxing? How justified does that sound to you and if you add Brazilian and other waxes or some improved variety of wax, the price goes even higher!

    Now you tell us, a Laser Hair Reduction process at ₹70,000 or say around ₹1.2 lacs without any discounts- how in-expensive is that?

    Also, count in the pain- the enormous pain or okay if you don’t feel much then the “pain” that waxing causes against almost no pain of LHR!

    Also, every time you get waxing done, you lose out on the savings- Lost Opportunity Cost!

    So you are making both actual and theoretical losses- tangible as well as intangible in nature and you are still thinking of having waxing soon!

    You deserve our salute and of course we love you!

  • God Made Men, Tailor Made Gentlemen

    For Those on the Heavier Side

    The entire struggle to wear something so that your paunch doesn’t show, fighting it out in the trial room because the shirt you liked isn’t fitting or is making you look even bigger than what you are, well the solution is always there.

    All you need to do is:

    • Say NO to Horizontal Stripes: The logic is that horizontal stripes add to the width and since you already have enough, why not just slim up a bit. Go for Vertical stripes instead which add length and hence create the optical illusion that your weight is evenly distributed along the length.
    • Wear the Correct Size: That loose clothes will make you look slim is a myth you need to bust right away. We don’t say that you should wear something that shows your “curves” but if you are a size 48, go no more than 50.
    • Color: The lighter shades are not for you people, well actually if you ask us, the lighter shades are not for most and it is perfectly fine because more often than not they make us look dull and show our body contours which unless of course you are a gym freak, who would want that! Cutting it short, go for darker shades because since they are dark, they hide things!

    For Tall and Slim Body Types

    Since you are tall, you have an advantage but your slim needs some caution to handle as it can be of a great disadvantage. For example, if you wear slim fit jeans, you might end up looking like Mr. Matchstick legs which we are sure you would not want.

    • Wearing Light Colors: Lights work for you but not the dull ones, go for brights actually, like the bright yellows and reds they have at Woodland, and not the matte colors or as we call them pastels.
    • No Monochromes: You wouldn’t want to be a two color combo at all because that might make you look like a hanger. Since bottoms don’t offer many color combinations in the purview of “looking smart”, go for patterned t-shirts. And just to clarify, by patterned we meant dual colored t-shirts or striped shirts with a different color bottom and not a multi- colored t-shirt/shirt with any bottom.
    • Horizontal Stripes: They create the illusion of width and considering that your frame is lean, horizontal stripes would add width to it making you appear broad.
    • For the Bottoms: The example for this has been given in the introduction only. Say a strict NO to slim fits and go for medium or loose fits so that your legs do not look slender. The length- you already have enough, the girth, you will have if you wear it Loose.

    For Shorter Body Types

    Now here is some area of concern cause your height can be of slight disadvantage and so we will address the Short and Slim, and the Short and Chubby body types separately.

    For Short and Slim ones

    • Well you still have the slim going for you and thus, all you need to do is avoid baggies i.e. extra large clothes because they will make you look really short.
    • Wear Vertical stripes (obviously) and avoid wearing tight fits.
    • Do not tuck in your shirts and t-shirts when wearing casuals because tucking in makes the dress fit to your shape.
    • For bottoms, wear medium fit. No Skinny and No loose fits.
    • Coming to the footwear, Crakows (The ones with additional tips) or Derbys are a strict No for you. They will put your entire body proportion off balance. Instead, go for your usual oxfords or flat tops

    For Short and Chubby!

    Well, like we said, there is a solution for everything and the same applies to you too. All you need to do is hit the gym and try to shed that weight and while in the process, wear like this:

    • Go vertical: It is a pretty obvious choice to go for vertical stripes considering that there is some weight to hide. Like was mentioned earlier, vertical makes you look slim as it gives the effect that your weight is spread along the length.
    • Dark colors should be preferred since they are better at hiding the body contours as compared to the lighter shades.
    • Medium fits for bottoms, actually, it should be between tight and medium fit so neither tight and nor medium
    • If you must wear a tie to work, opt for the slimmer ones (as opposed to the wider ties).

    This too will help create the illusion of height.

    That is all for now, folks! Keep that love coming and we will keep writing!

    Happy Wardrobing!

  • Fit at Fifty!

    We will first read about the physical routine and then will go to the star attraction of the blog- How to cheat your hormones into helping you lose weight.

    So yeah, about the fitness routine:

    1. Get on to the weight training routine, even if you don’t want to hit the gym, do it at home but do it. The logic is simple- your muscle mass has reduced, hence your metabolism has slowed down and you need to build those muscles back to get the things on track. You can start with donkey kicks, standing hip extensions and side lying leg raises and then graduate to glute bridges and crunches
    2. Considering that your joints would have also started weakening, try doing exercises in water, Get the best spin bike for home workout as it helps you burn calories and doesnt impact your joints. The result would be 30% faster and with lesser strain applied. In case you don’t have access to a pool, well turn back to point one above
    3. And well, you should visit your physician first before embarking on your fitness regime. At an age so tender, even a tiny bit of injury can spell disaster and so it is best to keep your enthusiasm in check

    This was a pretty short one because it is always better to focus on the stars and so here we go but before that let us introduce you to our friend Ghrelin here. Ghrelin dear people is the hormone responsible for that hungry feeling that you have! It is more of a survival hormone which spikes up due to lifestyle related changes such as delayed or skipped meals, irregular sleep, excessive exercise, avoiding carbs and fats or the simple act of losing weight.

    To keep Mr. Ghrelin in check and hence lose weight, here is what needs to be done:

    1. Eat your breakfast within an hour of waking up.
    2. Check on your average waking hours and divide them by four. The number you get is the number of meals you need in a day.
    3. Carbohydrates and protein mix is a must you should remember and include in every diet be it a meal or snack. Thus, you will have the right things to curb those cravings, control your hunger and hence lose weight while gaining energy and stimulating fitness on the go. Just for your information: Protein increases metabolism while carbohydrates lower ghrelin thus helping in decreasing cravings (PS: contrary to the common belief that carbs cause one to fatten up and hence their intake should be minimum, studies have proved that a definitive amount of carbohydrates in the diet help in weight loss)
    4. Follow the 70/30 rule, which means that 70 percent of the calories should be taken before the dinnertime and remaining 30 percent at dinner. Also, make sure that your dinner is at least 90 minutes before your sleeping time giving your system enough time to digest.
    5. Stay hydrated- drink well and drink fine. As cliched as it maybe, drinking water seems to be the solution to most of the problems

    So, dear people, that was it! That was your way to be fit and not fat irrespective of what milestones of your age you are touching.

    Happy Living!

  • The Feet’s Monologue

    Anyway, we think that maybe we only should tell you what we want. Please take a note of that. And if you pay no heed to it, be ready for some serious foot related issues with fungus, skin cracks, bad smells, infections and what not.

    So here is what you need to do for us:

    • Soak us in warm water (not hot) for about 15 to 20 minutes. And instead of using Epsom salts which make us dry like anything, go for a mild body wash. You can also have a tbsp full of table salt in lukewarm water & we would enjoy the spa like treatment to our muscles. We would prefer this care regimen at least once a week and twice a week would be more than enough
    • When you finally decide to scrape that hard dead skin off, do not abrade us with anything you find. Use a good quality pumice stone and you can use it say once a week also because we love that gentle rubbing
    • When out of the bath, we appreciate being softly cuddled to dryness with a soft towel. Especially between the fingers because any moisture left there will spell problem.
    • Now, comes the moisturizing and please, unless your podiatrist has specifically mentioned, avoid putting anything between the fingers. It doesn’t dry easily and when you wear your shoes or socks above that- the same smelly fungal trouble is there again.
    • Now for the shoe part- can you please have 2 or 3 favorites for the week? Please, it is not so good wearing the same thing over and over again. And we say this because first, we need to shift shapes from tight fits to heels to flats and whatnots. And this is important for our muscles plus it will also make you look like someone who knows the vogue! A particularly shaped shoe every day & the pressure on certain points becomes constant which can result in muscular or bone issues later.
    • Also, we know that we can force our way out and make the shoe adjust to your command, but please understand that this unnecessary pressure of uncomfortable shoes does a lot of harm to us. That pressure that gets built up leads to excessive pain and even you know it!

    Lastly, please understand that we are your part too! We have a lot of responsibility on ourselves, we have to carry you around. Treat us well. Because once we get into trouble, it usually lasts long and almost makes you immobile, or a public embarrassment. You wouldn’t want that!

  • Pregnancy and Acne

    What makes it even sad is that you cannot take many treatments because most of the modern acne treatments are not recommended as safe during pregnancy.

    But dear Mommies-to-be, you do not need to stress at all because by the time you finish this post, you’ll know why it happened, what can be the cure and what all you need to avoid! So brace yourself and read on!

    What causes Acne during Pregnancy?

    For firsts, acne during pregnancy is just another acne and nothing special. It is just that the hormones (mainly androgens) prompt the sebaceous glands in the skin to get bigger and boost the production of an oily substance called sebum more than usual.
    This miscreant called sebum combines with the dead skin cells that line the hair follicles blocking the pores and hence creating an environment in which the bacteria which are already present on the skin multiply rapidly.
    All this eventually leads to inflammations and skin eruptions resulting in acne.

    The during pregnancy acne can be mild, moderate or severe depending upon your skin’s tendency as well as the amount of excess sebum generated. The acne thus caused may come and go (usually striking during the first and second trimester) or in some cases, it might stay on through the entire pregnancy (the last one is very very rare though).

    How can you cure it?

    The procedure is simple and mainly restricted to home-based treatments so that you don’t have to step out much and can handle your acne from the comfort of your home. Read on to know how:

    1. Wash gently with a mild soap or cleanser twice a day
    2. Gently tap your face dry. No need to scrub your face to dryness because that will irritate the skin and further aggravate the problem
    3. Make sure your moisturiser is oil free because oil is something you already have in plenty in your skin
    4. Make sure your makeup is non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic i.e. it does not clog pores. Also make it a habit to wash your makeup off your face before you hit the bed.
    5. Do not go for any random over the counter product, more so since you are pregnant and some of the ingredients may cause damage to your baby. It is thus strongly advised that you have a word with your dermatologist and let them select the right curative product for your acne

    Most Importantly- what you need to avoid!

    Well since you are holding a life inside you right now, this is the most important section and we would want you to make note of everything that is being said here.

    1. Acne breakouts find a very common solution in products containing tretinoin, tazarotene and adapalene. These products are a strict NO-NO until you deliver and have stopped nursing your child since these products get absorbed through the skin, make their way into your breast milk and then to your baby’s bloodstream who will be then feeding off you.
    2. Similarly, you need to avoid products containing tetracycline and oral isotretinoin which according to certain medical findings are responsible for birth defects
    3. Regarding beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) and salicylic acid, though sufficient study has not been done on the same to ascertain their effects on pregnant women yet they do have a tendency to get absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin and hence there is no point taking a risk.

    The best option to go by would be to read the label and see that any of the aforementioned is not present and if they are, well you know what to do!

    This blog was our try at making things easier for you (of course within the scope of our expertise). The advice however remains just like always- Have a word with your dermatologist before going about using any of the medication, more so since you are pregnant.

    Afterall, you are going to give birth to a new life and hence being extra cautious becomes a given!

    Have a happy pregnancy!

  • Your Good Looks and the Corp Stress

    Using good home care regimen, eating healthy diets, exercising, managing stress ( the main cause of hormonal breakouts) and getting regular treatments for maintenance from the right person is required to manage the skin, hair & body.

    But there are some concerns that one may face in the corporate world that may hinder their career growth. Let us list those factors, their causes and how to resolve such issues.

    Daytime Fatigue

    It’s not just long working hours, uncertain schedule and lack of rest that causes fatigue. Lack of water is the number one cause of daytime fatigue. If at all you feel thirsty, it means that you are already dehydrated! Air conditioned environment worsens the condition. Skin is intricately tied to the overall health of your body. When your body is properly hydrated, you’ll look better and feel better. Water gives you a radiant complexion and in addition, bloating and puffiness often disappears. So drink enough water and keep going.

    Premature Ageing

    Almost 80% of skin ageing is caused due to harmful UV rays. Doesn’t matter if you are indoors most of the time, the UV rays are still damaging your skin. Sunscreen is one of the keys to radiant, youthful-looking skin. Freckles, age spots, spider veins on the face, rough and leathery skin, wrinkles, loose & dull skin, a blotchy complexion and skin cancer can all be traced to sun exposure. You should apply your sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before you are going to be exposed to the sun and reapply it every 2 to 3 hours.

    Also, antioxidants fight free radical damage, boost immunity, delay skin ageing and protect against sun damage. It almost works as an internal sun screen for your body. It can prolong and even make some skin reversals of damage that will take years off without much cost & can give you that ever glowing skin you always crave for.

    Uh Oh… Body Odour!

    Excessive sweating and body odour is a common problem faced in crowded spaces. Ever been embarrassed due to sweat marks on your shirts or blouses or salwars? Does fear of a handshake, make you avoid social situations? No matter how much antiperspirant or deodorant one uses, you can’t hold back the odour unless you have Botox done for your under arms and palms

    We have seen office team leaders in the middle management undergo these procedures as in their appraisals they have been told about the BO problem that their teammates have complained about. And most people think it is a hygiene problem, this is FALSE. It is sweat related.

    The procedure is quick and comfortable. The area to be treated is shaved and the Botox is placed in the underarm area evenly. In 3 – 5 days you will notice that the sweating has decreased and that you have no body odour worries anymore. The results typically last 7 – 9 months.

    Stress

    The corporate environment can mean long hours, high demand, and constant deadlines. All of this pressure can quickly result in stress that seems to never end. Rising levels of stress among employees, along with the predominance of a sedentary lifestyle is touted as the leading cause of an array of illnesses including hypertension, eating disorders, high blood pressure and a high incidence of cardiovascular ailments. It can be a major cause of hair fall, dark circles and acne too.

    But it doesn’t have to be that way. Instead of finding yourself down and dreading going to work every day, there are ways to beat the stress and make work pleasurable again.

    Apart from eating healthy, try exercise, yoga and meditation. Relax and give yourself enough time to rejuvenate.

    So in a nutshell, follow these tips and change your corporate lifestyle-

    • Dark Circles is genetic, but long hours in front of the laptop can add to puffiness and dark circles. Take frequent breaks. Look away from the screen to a distant sight.
    • Get up and take a short walk.
    • Stretch your neck by looking up at the ceiling and holding for at least 20 seconds. Look left and right to stretch your neck.
    • Adjust your working space so you’re not always looking down at the screen.
    • Place a mirror by your computer screen so you can see if you’re frowning or squinting. (Ignore comments about your vanity).
    • Purchase an antiglare screen that fits over the computer monitor to cut down on radiation exposure and the glare of blue light.
    • Maintain a good distance from the monitor and clean it regularly (to remove dust).
    • Consider applying moisturiser or a hydrating mist periodically through a long day. At the very least, wear a long-lasting moisturiser

    A little maintenance goes a long way. See a dermatologist if you are facing any skin or hair related issues that are persistent. Most issues are easier to treat in the beginning than at a later stage.
