How To Get Rid Of Scars Firstly I would really like to apologize for the delay in putting a new post this time. I was simply confused about the blog topic & it took me this long to finally decide. Today we’ll be discussing about post inflammatory hyperpigmentaton or PIH. Now don’t be afraid of the heavy-duty scientific term. Although sounds mouthful, but PIH simply refers to any ‘scar or hyperpigmentation’ due to some kind of ‘inflammation on skin’ which could be anything like acne, or minor injury (like scratching hard, cuts & burns) or sometimes it happens as a side effect of chemical peeling (peeled treated skin looks darker than the rest of the body). This is a major problem for people of colour. Mostly darker skin types are predisposed to developing this because simply they’re genetically predisposed to synthesizing more melanin in response to inflammation (just like tanning, where sun damage is perceived as an inflammation & melanin s...

Winter Skin Story: From Tight to Bright So today’s post is going to be all about winter skin care. Now, as you’re aware, it’s winter in India & I can already feel the stretch on my skin & so, I thought it’d be really helpful to incorporate a blog post about winter skincare essentials. To be true, if you take care of your skin religiously, all year round, winter shouldn’t pose as a hazardous moment in your life.

Usually in India, I’d see TV shows are highly interrupted with advertisements of body lotions, petroleum jelly, lip balms, creams only during the winters. It is very sad to realize that 90% of Indian women care to use those products mentioned above, only in this very season while I find these them the basics that yo...

Your TCA (Trichloro Acetic Acid) Peeling Handbook Okay so this is the second installment on chemical peel. On the first one we discussed about common questions regarding this & debunked a few myths regarding the same. However, the name chemical peel itself is downright scary to most because of the predisposal of most people (atleast in India) to the idea that anything ‘chemical’ is bad & skin peeling is horrific (I’m talking about the ‘average’ population). But the truth is, I’ve found chemical peels so far are the best treatment option available for photo damaged (read ‘sun damaged’) skin & scars . It is also the best & most effective option for reducing the signs of ageing like wrinkles, fine lines etc. So let me share my experience with this. I’ve been going in for peels like real long, right from early 2014. My first chemical peel was a mundane DIY strategy to peel the skin At first when I started out on this...
