  • 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

  • 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.

  • Skin Care Secrets

    Are you dehydrated?
    When water is lost from the surface of the skin, it leaves the skin feeling tight, flaky & rough. This is superficial dehydration. This water loss from the skin can be mistaken for being dry when in fact it means dehydration. At first, this affects the surface of the skin & if it is left untreated it results in deeper water loss in dermis which in turn will start to cause aging (wrinkles, lines, folds). Make sure you drink plenty of water & moisturize your skin regularly. Use heavier night creams or serums for hydration, if your skin is too dry.

    Do you reapply your sunscreen?
    You protect your face with a layer of sunscreen every morning. But do you reapply? The sunscreen sweats off, rubs off, and melts in your face, even when its water proof. If you are not able to wash off your face again during the day to reapply the sunscreen, just apply mineral powder with SPF in it at least 2 to 3 times a day.

    Do you treat your neck & chest same as your face?
    Many of us pay a lot of attention to our faces, but our necks and chests get neglected. The skin on neck &chest is thinner than the skin on your face, and yet often it gets just as much sun exposure. Ignore these areas and you’ll likely see sun damage showing up as blotchy skin, broken capillaries, and scaly patches. Treat your neck and chest with the same care you show your face. That means anything you put on your face likemoisturizer, sunscreen, or anti-aging products,you should apply to your neck and chest as well.

    Do you wash your face before going to bed every night?
    It’s easy at the end of the day to fall into bed, exhausted. But think of what your face goes through in a day. Makeup, oils, dirt, and pollution all collect on your skin during the course of the day. Do you really want all that gunk to get all over your and end up with clogged pores and breakouts? Make it a habit to wash off all the dirt every night.

    Do you have a sweet tooth?
    Sugar is one of the worst foods for your skin. High blood sugar can cause changes to the collagen and other tissues in your skin, making it weaker and more prone to wrinkling Avoid foods with added sugar, such as soda, candy, and cookies, and steer clear of foods that break down quickly into sugar, including white bread, white rice, and pasta.

    Do you pick at your acne?
    It’s tempting to squeeze a pimple or chip away at the edge of a scab. But you have to learn self-control when it comes to your skin. If you pick off a scab or squeeze a pimple until it bleeds, you’re injuring the skin, which can lead to scarring. Leave scabs and pimples to heal on their own.

    Do you smoke?
    Smoking ages your skin prematurely, just as spending a lot of time in the sun does. The habit can add 10 years or more to your appearance.The free radicals in cigarette smoke attack the collagen and elastic tissue in your skin, making your skin thinner, weaker, and more prone to wrinkling. Smoking also makes the wrinkles around your mouth and eyes start earlier and deepen sooner. There is only one solution, “Quit”. No matter how long you’ve been smoking, you’ll see benefits once you stop.

    Do you see a dermatologist every year?
    An annual exam for everyone, to look for moles, growths, or rashes that could signal a potential problem is very important. Checking your skin yourself is crucial, too, but a trained professional may notice a trouble spot that you might overlook or consider unimportant. In most cases, catching a problem early means it will be easier to fix.

  • Incorporate Grapeseed oil into your skin care routine…

    1. Great for oily/acne prone skin- It can help regulate the oil production in your skin. Skin needs a good supply of linoleic acid to help to strengthen cell membranes and improve skin health in general.

    2. Great for dry skin-
      It is a great moisturizer when your skin is drier or even chapped.
    3. Powerful antioxidant for anti-aging benefits- Yes, it contains antioxidants so it will protect you from those nasty free radicals that are determined to destroy your skin. It contains more antioxidant power than vitamin C & E- So it neutralizes the free radicals that our skin comes in contact with every day. Grapeseed contains proanthocyanidins, which are very potent antioxidants which help in diminishing the sun’s damaging effects and lessen free radical damage.
    4. Collagen-Grapeseed oil protects the collagen that keeps our skin firm. It also improves the production of elastin and hyaluronic acid (which helps bind moisture to the skin).
    5. Brightens the skin tone-When used daily and consistently, it may help your skin become more even and brighter.
    6. Helps with Under Eye Dark circles- This oil is very helpful in minimizing dark circles. Regular application shows great results.

    8. It Repairs- Grape seed oil can help strengthen and repair damaged or broken capillaries and blood vessels. This in turn, can help to improve circulation and alleviate conditions like, varicose veins, spider veins and haemorrhoids.
    9. The linoleic acid found in grape seed oil can be very beneficial in skin conditions like, acne, dermatitis and eczema.
    10. Light texture that penetrates easily into the skin- This is a lightweight oil so it will absorb quickly and not leave the skin feeling greasy. You can use this all over your body too. Mix with your body lotion/cream or use it at night on its own & wake up with a glowing skin.

  • Uneven Skin Tone / Pigmentation

    It can also be caused by a genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalance, pregnancy or contraceptive intake and post inflammation due to acne & pimples.

    • The application of a quality sunscreen or a total sunblock before sun exposure is highly recommended and can significantly reduce the appearance of those annoying spots.
    • If the pigment spots are already present, several options are available to you. For example, 5 to 10 microdermabrasion treatments using chemical peel is a very effective way to reduce the appearance of pigment spots. Glycolic and Lactic Acids are mild peels that require around 8 – 12 sessions to lighten the pigments. Deep peels are used for deeper pigmentation of the skin and requires 4 – 6 sessions.* These peels are to be performed under supervision of dermatologists. The Deep peels can be performed by dermatologists only.
    • Also Revlite is the latest laser that has been FDA approved for treating pigmentation. Revlite has revolutionized the treatment of pigmentation in Indian skin.
    • Prevent future pigmentation and sun damage by wearing a UVA and UVB shielding sunscreen, feeding your face with antioxidants that works like an internal sunscreen like Kosmoglow(primarily fruits and veggies) and avoiding prolonged periods of sun exposure.
    • If you have Melasma, it is a lifetime condition in most cases. The initial treatment reduces the pigmentation. After this is achieved, it is a lifetime maintenance schedule with sunscreen, anti – oxidant, lightening agent and maintained with Revlite once in 3 – 6 months.

    Whether you choose one or the other method listed above, the most important thing is to consult your dermatologist.

  • Soap Vs Cleansers

    Soap on the other hand is alkaline. Skin is slightly acidic. Healthy skin is a skin that maintains its normal pH value of 5.5 to 5.6. This pH contributes to the skin’s protective barrier function. Because of soap’s alkaline pH, it strips the skin’s protective barrier, known as “Acid Mantle” leaving it open to bacterial invasion. Normally it takes 3.5 hours for the skin to return to its normal pH.

    When the skin is stripped, water is lost from the surface leaving the skin feeling tight, flaky& rough. This is superficial dehydration. This water loss from the skin can be mistaken for being dry when in fact it means dehydration.

    The oil glands now receive messages telling them to produce more oil to compensate for that tight feeling. Because the surface of the skin becomes tight the oil that is being produced cannot flow freely to the surface thus creating clogged pores.

    If the skin is oily, it becomes oilier & results in acne, pustules, papules, open/closed comedones.

    On a dry skin (lacking oil), the water loss exaggerates the feeling of dryness causing it to feel uncomfortable. At first this affects the surface of the skin & if it is left untreated it results in deeper water loss in dermis which in turn will start to cause aging (wrinkles, lines, folds)

    So pH balanced cleansers are better for skin than soaps that are usually alkaline.
