Carrot Seed extract is a newly discovered however widely used ancient beauty ingredient that is highly beneficial in skincare as it:

Supports Anti-oxidation: the extract is rich in antioxidants, which is vital in fending off skin-damaging free radicals.

Stimulates Cell: the extract is a precursor to Vitamin A, which is responsible for cell regeneration, turnover and repair. 

The NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream is high in Tocopherol that acts as an anti-oxidant to scavenge free radicals, prevent collagen damage, lower pigmentation and mute uneven skin tone. Additional the protein in the cream promotes skin repair, reduces scarring and speeds up skin healing. And above all Ducol and Carotol in the cream forms a natural shield against skin infections.  

Apart from the natural carrot seed extract, the cream is also infused with Aloe Vera Extract, Soybean Extract, Manjishtha Extract, Vitamin E, Honey, Almond Oil, Light Liquid Paraffin, Glycerine, Glycol Monostearate and Stearic Acid. This great concoction, ensures that the cream is:

~ naturally pH-balanced and free from harmful chemicals

~ prevent wrinkles and collagen breakdown and eases skin inflammation

~ prevent skin cell damage caused by free radicals, UV radiation and pollution

So here’s my experience of the NEUD Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream…. I’ve been using the cream as directed. I liberally apply and massage the cream twice a day, gently on my skin until it is fully absorbed. My first impressions about the cream is amazing… The cream is fragrance-less and very light coloured. The texture is super light and it does not weigh, and is easily absorbed without any stickiness or residue left. I absolutely love how the cream inspite of being so light keeps my skin moisturised and hydrated for almost the entire day. 

Since the cream is a skin and body cream I used it as a moisturising face cream too and it worked amazing well. I’ve noticed slowly how my skin texture has improved with the reduction of breakouts, lightening of acne scars and age spots. I’m finally on the way to achieving a healthy, clear and even toned skin with the cream. As a body cream the NEUD Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream has worked wonders for me. I have a beautifully hydrated skin, with no signs of tan or skin discolouration. 

I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great cream to try the NEUD Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream and each of you will just like me, absolutely love your skin.

Scientists have traced the desire to reverse ageing to thousands of year ago and have pegged a positive lifestyle and clean eating habits as the best way to reduce ageing. However I personally think that eating nutritious meals and staying physically fit are just a couple of wellness-related goals that support healthy ageing but numerous other subtle lifestyle changes can actually help reduce signs of ageing and also help repair skin damage and premature ageing.

I’ve included these small yet crucial changes in my every-day routine that help restore my skin’s texture and improve my skin’s health; making it younger looking, radiant and healthy. 

Alcohol and smoking play a major role in prematurely ageing. Alcohol dehydrates the skin leading to irreversible damage while smoking results in a dull and shallow complexion. Together the two speeds up the process with long term damage. 

Drinking adequate water is essential for good health as the body needs water for every function. Besides flushing out, aiding digestion, and regulating body temperature, water keeps skin healthy from within, boosts skin elasticity and corrects tissue damage.

It is crucial to get adequate sleep but it is more important to sleep correctly. Studies have proved that sleeping on the back helps prevent facial skin distortion. Also switching cotton sheets and pillowcases by silk bed linen lowers friction and skin abrasion. 

Every body suffers from either lack of nutrition or overconsumption of malnutrition meaning too little of the right things or much of the wrong things. Getting your blood work done and consulting a physician is the best way to regularise your body, identify the needs and supplement wisely. 

Go beyond CTM  

Set a skincare routine apt for your skin type, however follow the main three steps of cleansing, toning and moisturising the skin. Once the skin is treated to this, take a step ahead with an under-eye cream and a skin renewal and anti-ageing cream.

I’ve been following a set skincare routine with NEUD Goat Milk skincare products including the face wash and moisturising lotion and have recently added the NEUD Goat Milk Premium Skin Renewal Cream.

The NEUD Goat Milk Premium Skin Renewal Cream is loaded with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA),Vitamins, Minerals, and Selenium, which individually have immense skincare benefits. When infused together the ingredients become a great skin booster as the cream helps to: 

~ prevents sun-induced skin damage and discolouration 

~ retain moisture, protect skin collagen and nourish the skin

~ remove age spots, prevent wrinkles and brighten complexion

~ promote growth of new skin cells and remove dead skin cells

I’ve been using the Skin Renewal Cream since its launch and the one thing I have noticed is the improvement in my skin elasticity. The overall skin tone has definitely improved with the lighter spots and no visible pigmentation. Another thing I’m really happy about is that my skin no longer feels flaky as it is deeply hydrated. To cut the long story short this was one step missing in my skincare routine and now with NEUD Goat Milk Premium Skin Renewal Cream, my skincare routine is invincible. 

The best part is that the cream is suitable for all skin types for both men and women, so you should definitely be investing in the right products for your skin.

As the beauty industry was suddenly waking up to the benefits of Carrot Seed skin and hair care products, and I needed a solution to my hair fall I was excited to receive the newly launched Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil from NEUD and got about trying it out so I could share my personal experience with you. 

Since I’m so excited about the product, I researched a bit more to find that Carrot Seed Hair Oil: 

~ is naturally pH-balanced and free from harmful chemicals

~ soothes itching and prevent dandruff, breakage and split ends

~ helps stimulate growth, improves tensile strength and adds volume

~ is an ancient ingredient in aromatherapy used by Indians, Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, French and Chinese

The NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil is infused with Carrot Seed Oil, Carrot Seed Extract, Vitamin E, Wheat Germ Oil, Almond Oil, Brahmi Extract, Olive Oil, Bhringraj, Aloe Vera Extract, Sunflower Oil, Sesame Oil and Castor Oil. The oil is suitable for all hair types and both men and women, and retails at INR 400.00 for a 300 ml bottle. 

So here’s my experience of the NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil…. I’ve been religiously using the hair oil as directed. I liberally apply the the oil on my scalp and hair roots at night, massage it gently for 15 minutes in circular motion and then shampoo my hair the next morning with the NEUD Carrot Seed Hair Care range.

The physical aspect of the hair oil is great… it is absolutely colourless with a mild earthy tone and extremely light texture. Since I used it on the scalp and not on the hair shaft, it did not weigh the hair down, but at the same time felt binding. My first impressions about the hair oil was the moment I was washing my hair, it was great as I had to shampoo my hair very lightly and the oil washed off easily. The hair fall was more or less the same the first few times I used the hair oil, however I noticed a remarkable difference in hair fall after week three. The hair fall had reduced drastically, my hair had a nice natural bounce with almost no frizz at all. 

It has now been almost 2 months since I’ve included the NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil in my hair care regime and to be honest I don't think I’m going to find any product that is going to replace it. My hair feel healthy, shine and smooth. What else could a girl want? Nothing right? 

So make the switch to NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil and oil up, flip hair and kick ass.

A lip balm is infused with beeswax, beetroot extract, shea butter, and essential oils, enabling lip healing. Regular use helps nourish the lip skin and keeps it balanced and supple, while giving it a beautiful natural shine.  

Recently I did an Instagram live with a beauty expert and realised that most of us have no freaking idea what sequence to follow for our skincare routines. Yes, I indeed did a few things incorrectly too, and honestly, how the hell does one know. But the discussion did reinforce my belief in the fact that if used incorrectly no matter what product you use, it becomes ineffective to the tune of actually causing harm like pigmentation, fine lines and acne.


So without further ado, here is the routine you must follow for a healthy glowing face.

Step 1: Cleanser
The first step for all beauty routines is and will always be to wash your face so that the skin is ready to accept and absorb products that are to follow. Use a make-up remover in an oil base and follow it with a cream-based cleanser for a residue-free skin.

Step 2: Toner
Cleansing is usually followed with prepping the skin for the next steps with a BHA or AHA based toner that works its magic to unclog pores, prevent breakouts and dissolve blackheads. Pick a toner that feels gentle and light on your face.

Step 3: Serum
Serums are like an instant boost of nutrients, hydrators, and antioxidants that amp skin health as soon as applied. Pick a serum enriched with Vitamin C that protects the skin from inflammation and damage caused by free radicals, while brightening skin and lightening dark spots.

Step 4: Eye Cream
There is a huge debate whether to apply eye cream before or after moisturisers, but for it to work its magic, eye cream is to be applied before any cream and oil so it can penetrate through the skin easily without any barrier. Pick an eye cream that is hydrating to repair the skin barrier.

Step 5: Spot Reduction Cream
Spot treatments are usually most ideal to use at night but if you plan to use it during the day too, pick one with Vitamin B3. It is crucial to dab just a tiny bit over the problem area and then wait for it to dry out (about a minute) before the next step.

Step 6: Moisturizer
You must use a moisturiser, always (even if you do not use any other product) as it is the only barrier that will keep the radicles out and keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Use a light, gentle hyaluronic-based moisturizer with SPF 30. Let it sit on the skin for a few minutes before the next step.

Step 7: Retinol
No matter what skin healthy you are at, using a Retinol will enable your skin to speed up cell repair, thereby ensuring you always have fresh, smooth, wrinkle-free skin. With retinol be prepared for a long haul as it takes almost 3-6 months to show the difference as it works from within.

Step 8: Facial Oil
Using a facial oil is an important part to seal in the products already applied on the face to keep them from evaporating. A facial oil penetrates through the layers of products, to unclog and fill enlarged pores, heal stretch marks and prevent loss of elastin and collagen.

Step 9: Sunscreen
After the products are sealed in, you must use sunscreen as a protective layer against all free radicals in the environment. Even if your moisturiser or your make-up product has any sunscreen, do not step out during the day without any sunscreen.


I, for one, cannot contemplate all these daunting steps every day and so for steps 5-8 I opt to use one single product, Nature Sure™ Pores and Marks Oil. The Pores and Marks oil is an amazing moisturiser that unclogs and fills enlarged skin pores, heals stretch marks and prevents loss of elastin and collagen. This luxurious oil has one of the highest nutritional contents that penetrate deeply into the skin, including Vitamins A, B, C, D and E, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, silica and zinc. This beauty wonder has oleic acid content as high as 72%, which makes it one of the best skin moisturisers in the world.

However, if you still decide to follow the 9-Step skincare formula, remember the rule of thumb is to apply the lightest product first and the heaviest last, since thinner products can’t penetrate thicker products. And for those who remain confused, the best way is to pin or save or screenshot this article, whatever works for you.

Miniso, the Japanese designer brand recently launched in India, but, I’ve been using their products for the last few years. I love the brand's concept of bringing 'intelligent consumer products', that speak 'simplicity, nature and good quality' at affordable pricing to the masses to better their lifestyles. One such segment of products that they have under the Health and Beauty genre is the 'Universal Limited Edition Zodiac Perfumes'.

During my visit to Thailand last year, I couldn’t resist their cute and quirky packaging and I picked the limited edition Zodiac Perfumes, costing ฿69 each. I tried the Leo Eau De Parfum Spray and absolutely loved it. The scent at first hit me with its strong authoritative fragrance and then as the base scent rose, it neutralised the fragrance to linger softly in the air around.

Do you agree with my thoughts about scents for each sign?

Beauty, means different things to different people, in varying degrees of acceptance and rejection. Unfortunately, we take the phrase ‘Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder’ very seriously and strive to match up to expectations of what the world would consider as ‘Beauty’, that it has lead to become superficial to the point of ugly and to the extent of losing one’s authentic self. 

The conversations today are aimed at making appearances a priority with a focus on the physical realm. The so-called beauty methods and procedures are advancing so rapidly that it not only is difficult to adapt but also very expensive. In reality, by the time you have been pinched, tucked and enhanced, you have lost yourself to the notion of beauty, rather than beauty itself. The imperative question we must all ask ourselves is whether we want to continue spending money to achieve beauty that is about looking beautiful from outside-in or introspect and aim to achieve beauty from within? 

The answer to that important question, especially for me is to maintain the quality and beauty of the being. And when that happens, my beauty will glow and it will draw in everyone like a moth to a flame. I have worked in the wellness and healthcare industry, and thus discovered some secrets that have helped me understand beauty and strive to feel and look beautiful. 

Smile From Within
A smile is one of the most important features of inner beauty, that can touch every heart. It is a positive affirmation that benefits the health as well as overall wellbeing of a person. So go on smile as much as you can, in fact, laugh and scream with joy. 

Nourish From Within 
Eating a healthy, balanced diet with emphasis on whole foods and vegetables and fruits help you achieve a glow that no cosmetics can attain. Nourish your body with food that helps it grow, remain healthy and add to your overall wellbeing. Add seasonal fruits, multigrain flour, raw as well as boiled vegetables for natural enhancement. 

Exercise From Within
The body needs to work as much as the mind and the heart, so the simplest way to achieve that would be to exercise at least 30 minutes every day. However just do not exercise with your body, involve your soul, walk in a beautiful garden taking in the beauty of nature, spend some time with yourself while doing yoga to calm your mind, pick your favourite song to dance the blues way or jump into the lap of water to swim away. 

Supplement From Within
The two pillars of beauty are anti-ageing and skin glow, which is a direct result of the amount of Glutathione and Vitamin C in the body. Glutathione, a master anti-oxidant, produced by the natural mechanism in the human body, is a combination of proteins elements such as cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. It helps to delay ageing, supports skin brightening and improves skin tone and skin buster. However, Glutathione requires Vitamin C to improve absorption in the body, with an added benefit of collagen synthesis in the skin.


Due to multiple factors like lifestyle, dietary habits and also age, the levels of Glutathione and Vitamin C in the body needs to be replenished. A brand that has made great inroads into these natural ingredients is ClickOnCare that offers  Glutone 1000 and Escor Z.

Glutone 1000
Glutone 1000, which contains the world’s best Glutathione - ‘SETRIA Glutathione’ is critical for the optimum health of every body cell. It is the master anti-oxidant and works towards immune function, detoxification, and skin health. The main ingredients of Glutone 1000 are L-Glutathione that improves skin tone and enables skin lightening, Vitamin C that helps collagen synthesis and increases intracellular stores of Glutathione, and N-Acetycysteine that improves the body’s Glutathione Levels while reducing the free radicals. The main use of Glutone is to reduce photo ageing, uneven skin tone and skin dullness. The most important benefit of Glutone among many others is replenishing glutathione stores in the body for enhanced anti-ageing and skin lightening.


Escor Z
Escor Z  which contains Phyllanthus Embelica extracts that is a rich source of Vitamin C, enables the body to fight free radicals, boost collagen and lighten the skin. The main benefits of Escor Z include skin lightening by reducing the melanin pigment, increase production and transfer of anti ageing protein and exert photo-protective effects by neutralising free radicals.

Benefits of Glutone 1000 and Escor Z
When both these supplements are taken together, they form a power-house for skin health and the results are spectacular. As these natural products work from within the body, they are a silent tool to improve skin tone and texture, boost collagen and reduce melanin pigments in each and every skin cell. Thus the effect is on the overall body and not just a particular part with visible signs of skin lightening, skin brightness and less pigmentation. 

With these simple steps, you can enhance your skin health with an inside-out approach and ensure your beauty shines from within.

Are you considering a facelift to make you look decades younger? Then, lifting your face should be a priority. Plastic surgery is arguably the best way to make you appear more youthful and used by thousands of beauty and fashion icons worldwide. However, you need to be careful when selecting surgery to lift your face as there is a possibility that it may not go as desired and leaves signs for everyone to see. And then to attempt to correct such mistakes is a daunting task, and the results are not guaranteed to be favourable.

Why is a facelift necessary?
People age differently. You might realise that you look younger or older than your age and people of similar ages. A problem can arise when you feel that your body, especially your face has aged more than the rest of your body. Sometimes your career or your genetic predisposition can make you age uncomfortably faster which may misconstrue your facial expressions. For example; a sag in your mid-face can make you look droopy even when you are smiling. A facelift in such a case will make you look and feel younger.

There are various reasons people seek surgical intervention to improve their facial appearance, some of which are as follows: 
• To minimise creases along the nose which proceed along the mouth that are the major signs of ageing. 
• To reduce the mid-face sagging which makes you look unhappy at all times.
• To make the jowls in the jawline smooth which will make you look much younger. 
• To remove the double chin which just looks ugly making you look older. 

How is a successful aesthetic facial surgery done?
Generally, a hairline incision is made from the temple area all the way to just behind the temples for a simple facelift. If you want to reduce a double chin, a similar incision is made in the naturally occurring crease below the chin. Hiding the scars in these ares are pretty easy; in fact, it will be extremely hard even for you to pinpoint the exact incisions. However, this requires a surgeon with enough experience and technique.

What are the telltale signs of facial surgery?
Firstly, you shouldn't know the signs of facial surgery because they should not be there in the first place. Face surgery should lift your spirit, making you feel younger and happy. Unfortunately, if this procedure is not done properly, the following signs can give you away:

• Distorted and stretched face skin due to overdoing the reconstruction.
• An altered hairline if the incision is not symmetrical on either side of the face. 
• Conspicuously high brows  especially if exaggerated, will make the face look odd. 
• Distorted ears if there is loss of symmetry during the surgery.
• Deformity in the neck if the lifting of the chin skin is done poorly. 

These signs are frightful and should never happen. However, this is not to discourage you from going for surgery as it is quite a routine procedure and many surgeons can uplift your face beautifully and leave no traces whatsoever.

How to avoid the telltale signs of a facial surgery?
When it comes to avoiding the signs of facial surgery, there are two approaches, one that is the surgery that is the onus of the surgeon and second that is the care which is the requirement by the patient.

An experienced surgeon will not have trouble making the surgery as conspicuous as possible with two key skills, namely making incisions in areas where they cannot be easily seen and avoiding stretching the skin more than required and of course the incision symmetry.

A patient needs to ensure that the surgeon selected is adequately experienced for the kind of surgery needed. Also the outcome depends on the condition of the face, which in a way limits the results. Align the expectations with the pre-mediated result so as to not put unnecessary pressure on the surgeon.

Conclusion
A facelift should make you happy, however, if it is not done well it can make you look weird. Distorted earlobes, scars in your face, misaligned hairlines can make you regret the procedure. As it is both an expensive and time-consuming procedure, pick the right surgeon to make you face. A good plastic surgery should leave no sign behind after the surgery is over and healed. At the same time, you should not be over ambitious since there is a limit on what can be done to make you look younger and pretty.

A cosmetic surgery is the simple technique to transfer body fat to breasts in order improve the size and shape of the breast. This technique is known as breast augmentation through which the surgeon enhances the natural proportions of the breast while improving the symmetry and aesthetics of the breasts.

There are a number of reasons women opt to undergo the procedure, however one of the biggest reasons is to accentuate breast size and shape. The procedure is also effective to rectify prominent asymmetries in breasts and deformities. However some other reasons women choose breast augmentation are:
• Recovering from the effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding. 
• Achieving a balanced shape that complements curvy hips.
• Improving self-confidence and self-image.
• Restoring swimsuit confidence.

What makes a patient an ideal candidate for the surgery?
A lot of people get fantastic results by undergoing fat transfer procedure to enhance their buttocks, face, hands or cheeks. The best parameters to get the procedure done is age between 30 and 65, good body fat to harvest from and overall good health. Other pre-requirements to be an ideal candidate are as follows: 
• Should have realistic expectations and be informed about the procedure
• Should be healthy and have a stable weight 
• Should not be pregnant or be breastfeeding 
• Should not be a smoker 

What are the pre-requirements for the procedure?
There is a chance your consultant or their staff might give you a list of precaution, however, following are the main instructions to be considered: 
• Avoid smoking for a specified amount of time 
• No alcohol intake and limited eating the night before 
• Do not drive post-surgery; have someone to accompany you while driving home 

The patient is generally given general anaesthesia or injected for conscious sedation, hence the patient is either asleep or is sedated during the procedure. During surgery, small incisions are used in order to create space for the implant. After properly positioning the implant, the surgeon closes the incisions and bandages them. Generally, it takes around two hours to complete the entire procedure and then patients are discharged to go home.

What are the benefits associated with augmentation?
Although the benefits differ from patient to patient, ever individual opting the procedure should know the benefits as below:
• No allergic reactions as patient’s own body fat is used for the procedure 
• The procedure can done along with other procedures like liposuction. 
• A natural result as patient’s own body fat is used for the procedure
• The rest time is generally less, however if done with another procedure it may require a few more days. 
• No infections as fat transfer does not include any use of synthetic material.
• The results are immediate which improve over a period of few weeks and are long-lasting. 

What are the risks associated with augmentation?
All surgeries generally have some risks which the patients should be made aware beforehand. Augmentation poses the following risks: 
• A rare chance of leaks in the implant. 
• Pain and tenderness in the area. 
• Prominence in scar tissue causing dissatisfaction. 
• A rare chance of asymmetrical results. 

An incision always leaves a permanent scar, however, in this procedure the scars heal well and the prominence goes away with time. It is a general practice to leave minimalistic scar underneath the breast so they are not visible however one should be informed about the placement and size of the scar by the consultant before the surgery. 

What to expect after the procedure?
Breast augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure performed under general anaesthesia. Patients can expect to walk around on their own after the surgery and even leave the house within a couple of days. In the first week, patients may feel a bit sore and will be advised to avoid exercising. A surgical or a sports bra might also be prescribed by the surgeon for a certain period. The patient should religiously follow the surgeon’s instructions to be able to heal quickly. 

It is beneath the pectoral muscle where the breast implant is placed which makes it feel as if the breasts are sitting high on the chest however it is a normal stage in the process as your implants will eventually settle in the optimal position over the next few weeks. After the breast implants settle, the following after care is recommended:
• Maintain regular screening.
• Undergo corrective surgery incase of weight fluctuations.
• Wear a bra with appropriate support to prevent sagging.

A woman’s obsession with beauty never ends, however slowly but surely women have started appreciating the diversity of beauty, rather than being confined to the beauty standards set by the fashion industry and society at large. This positive change has helped brands experiment and launch products that cater to the diverse customer base without inhibition. Today brands are being bold and launching a range of varying shade options for colour cosmetics so that every woman can find a perfect match for herself.

Colour cosmetics like foundations, concealers and pressed powders are easy to match, however lipsticks can be pretty tricky. Lipsticks tend to look very different on different women due to the undertone of the skin, and the guesswork of whether or not a shade will suit a particular skin tone or not, makes it a gamble. This makes picking the best shade for your skintone extremely difficult. However, the One Colour Obsession lipsticks from Oriflame resolves this issue with the launch of it’s PopShock tones infused with ChromaLoad Technology to give colour intensity that looks appealing on every skin. The lightweight formula provides a weightless gel-crème finish that melts on contact and gives a luminous look and locks-in an eight-hour moisture. The colours available in the range are:

35155 - Nude Appeal 
35156 - Peach Passion
35157 - Pink Possession
35158 - Magenta Mania
35159 - Coral Craze
35160 - Tempting Orange
35161 - Red Rage 
35162 - Red Fever
35163 - Purple Power
35164 - Cherry Crave

The one makeup product that I wear almost every day is the lipstick and I love to experiment with various shades, but my go-to remain peach and nude. Many a times I pick up lip shades that end up looking different on my lips vis-a-vis the packaging or digital images, and I am so disappointed. So when I was sent the new range by Oriflame, I assumed that a shade or two would actually work for me, but to my greatest surprise the Colour Obsession lipsticks have upped my lip game. All the ten shades are a win, for their amazingly bold colours that convey intensity and confidence.

I loved the way all of the shades felt and looked on my lips with its super velvety formula and strong the colour intensity. I fell in love with Peach Passion right off the bat as it smoothly glided on my lips instantly moisturising them while adding the amazing colour. I wore it on a hectic day and I pretty much sailed through the day without a reapplication. I had a friend borrow the shade and it looked a bit different on her, but still absolutely gorgeous. The formula does seem to have a perfect mix of under layers that actually look great on warm, cool and neutral skin tones. Nude Appeal is my dream nude shade, the shade is a notch lighter than my natural lip colour, but better, and Red Rage is definitely the most flattering classic red I've worn in a long time.

Whatever your favourite shade is, you must try the Colour Obsession range for a great look and a much greater feel. So go break the colour rules, pick the Purple Power or the Tempting Orange,  because makeup is ultimately all about feeling beautiful and empowered. 

Until next time,
