  • Skincare During Pregnancy : DO’s & DON’Ts

    Do not use Retinoids
    Retinoids are found in some anti- aging moisturizers. These are a type of vitamin A that speeds up cell division and prevent skin collagen from breaking down.
    But retinoids are one of the skin- care ingredients that expectant moms should stay away from. Some studies have shown that high doses of vitamin A during pregnancy can be harmful to an unborn child. And oral retinoids, such as isotretinoin (Accutane, an acne treatment), are known to cause birth defects.
    There is no data to show these retinoids ingredients are harmful when used on the skin- but it is good to be extra cautious.

    Avoid certain products for Acne
    If you”re dealing with pregnancy- induced acne, consult a dermatologist. Stay away from leave- on acne lotions, gels, and creams, as well as at- home peels, which can contain salicylic acid or retinoids. Using a facial wash that contains no more than 2 percent salicylic is considered safe. And of course do not take oral form of the retinoid Accutane. Glycolic acidinAHA,is safe to use.

    Avoid Salicylic acid
    Salicylic acid is another no- no for pregnant women. High doses of the acid in its oral form have been shown in studies to cause birth defects and various pregnancy complications. Small amounts applied to the skin are considered safe, but doctors are being cautious by recommending that pregnant women should avoid the topical use of salicylic acid.
    This mild acid is used to treat certain skin disorders, including acne, and you can find it in a number of skin products, such as cleansers and toners and exfoliants. If you must have a skin peel, have it done professionally at your dermatologist”s clinic. A dermatologist will know how to do it safely during pregnancy.

    Avoid Soy
    While soy- based lotions and facial products are generally safe to use, Soy can make the “mask of pregnancy” (dark patches on facial skin) worse. Soy has estrogenic effects, which can make those dark patches, also known as melasma or chloasma, deeper. If you have dark skin or melasma, avoid these products, or choose “active soy” products from which the estrogenic components have been taken out.

    Skin Care product that you MUST USE!!!

    Sunscreens
    Sunscreens, including those with ingredients that penetrate the skin, are perfectly safe during pregnancy. Also, Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide- are powerful physical sunscreens and do not penetrate the skin.
    In addition to sunscreen, we advise sun- smart behaviours- avoiding the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., using a sun hat, sunglasses and sun- protective clothing; and reapplying your sunscreen every two hours. This helps with pregnancy mask and aging process.

  • You cant help the weather but you can certainly help your skin and hair

    High humidity in atmosphere can make your skin oilier & patchy. Due to which cell turnover goes down.

    It is very essential to exfoliate gently at least twice a week to get rid of dead skin layers. Cleanse your face at least twice a day & keep it dirt free. People have a tendency to be aggressive the minute they see a zit forming. If you use gentle products and maintain a good, simple routine using sunscreen regularly and incorporating chemical peels/exfoliants, your skin will transition smoothly.

    Along with skin, it is equally important to take care of hair. Humid air makes the hair drier & frizzy so it’s very important to keep hair simple with fewer styles and less usage of any chemicals & hair products.

    Home tip for Hair fall & Dandruff

    Soak Fenugreek seeds (Methi seeds) in water overnight. Grind them with coconut milk and massage this paste on scalp and hair. Leave it for an hour. Wash it off with a mild shampoo.Fenugreek seeds are extremely effective against hair fall, dandruff and help to reverse baldness and hair thinning.

    Fenugreek seeds replenish hair growth and is a good source of nicotinic acid and protein, niacin, potassium, Vitamin C, amino acids as well as diosgenin. It also contains large amounts of lecithin which makes the hair healthy and strong and hydrates the hair. It helps to reduce the dryness, cures dandruff, conditions the hair, keeps the scalp cool and treats a variety of scalp issues. It is highly effective against hair fall and provides strength from the roots.

  • Medical vs Cosmetic Products

    When it comes to skin products, we need to understand the difference between medical graded products from cosmetic products. As the skin is protected by the acid mantle, most of the ingredients in a cosmetic range are blocked from entering the living layers of the skin, thus being ineffective. For effectiveness, the active ingredients must be able to penetrate the acid mantle and reach the living layers of the skin. Only Medical ranges can achieve this. Many beauty products- which often sell at a high retail price- come with claims that the product is based on advanced scientific research, giving consumers the wrong impression that they are as effective- and as tested- as medical range. Cosmetics are not required to undergo the clinical trials for efficacy to which medical products are subjected because cosmetics are not primarily about science, but about the age-old promise of beauty. These products are generally made for all skin types & cannot give individual results.

    The benefit of Medical products is product strength, research and clinical trials that it undergoes, ability to give targeted treatments and depending on skin type, the results are instant. KosmoCare is a Medical range built on this fundamental understanding to deliver the results you want. So it’s a good idea to consult your dermatologist even for your home care regimen to keep your skin young, radiant and flawless.

    Make your skin flawless with our treatment-specific products that are excellent for skin aging, hyper pigmentation, acne, dry skin, dark circles, puffy eyes, sun damage etc. We also have Kosmocare glow mask, sunscreen and anti-oxidant capsules that helps with overall health of the skin.

  • Does profuse sweating affect your confidence at work and in relationships?

    You are not alone. Approximately 20 – 30% of the population have problems with body odour and excessive sweating. Sometimes heavy sweating is a sign of a medical condition. It’s not always easy for the average person to know the difference, so it is important to seek medical help.

    People with excessive sweating wish they could just turn the tap off. It might not be as easy as that, but there are effective treatments available. At Kosmoderma, a solution* is now available with the ‘KosmoSweat Free Treatment’. One session can give you relief of up to 90% for as long as 6 – 8 months. This treatment program has been conceptualised by our team of expert dermatologists especially for Indian environments to give relief from body odour and excessive sweating.

    Here are some self-help tips that I always suggest my patients to follow:

    • Avoid known triggers that make your sweating worse, such as hot & spicy foods or alcohol.
    • Use antiperspirant spray (rather than deodorants).
    • Avoid tight, restrictive clothing and man-made fibers, such as nylon. Preferably use cotton.
    • Wearing white or black clothing can minimize the signs of sweating.
    • Wear socks that absorb moisture, for example thick, soft socks made of natural fibers or sportsocks designed to absorb moisture. Avoid synthetics, and change your socks at least twice a day.
    • Buy shoes that are made of leather, canvas or mesh rather than synthetic material.

  • Wishing you all a Happy & Colourful Holi!

    But this festive spirit is slowly fading away as post Holi our skin tends to become excessively dry and patchy & hair becomes brittle & rough
    due to the chemicals present in colours. Minor cuts and burns are other problems associated with one’s skin. By taking just a few precautions, everyone can enjoy Holi.

    • Wear clothes that cover most of your body.
    • It’s also important to protect yourself from the sunlight. Some chemicals found in synthetic colours together with the ultraviolet sunlight can cause a “photo-toxic” reaction on your skin. Therefore, apply a good coat of waterproof sunscreen with at least SPF30 before and after you play with colours.
    • Put a generous coat of lip balm or Vaseline on your lips.
    • Oil your hair with coconut, olive or castor oil. Doing so will protect your hair from the damage by harmful chemicals. It will also make it easier for you to wash all the colours off.
    • After Holi, wash colours immediately before it dries on the skin with a paste of besan, with milk. Do not wash off skin with soap after playing holi as the chemicals in the soap can react with chemicals in the colours.
    • You may apply curds on the scalp before washing your hair. After which, use a mild shampoo to wash out all the colours followed by a conditioner to put back the moisture.
    • Another post-holi problem is the dry and brittle nails. Polish your nails with a transparent protective coat to avoid stubborn color stains.
