Lot of hype about chemical peels . . lets understand what they are and how many are available in the market and which one's for whom..
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
There are primarily 3 types of peels -
1. Lactic acid peel - is a type of chemical peel that is made from AHA (alpha hydroxy acids). They are very mild as they are derived from milk, with a very small chance of an allergic reaction happening. If one has sensitive skin or has never done a chemical peel before, a lactic acid peel is a wonderful choice.
2. Salicylic acid peel - is a safe and effective way to reduce acne prone skin and restore a blemish free complexion. The acid peel deeply cleanses the skin and folicles of dirt, debris and oil; reduces breakouts and clogged pores and effectively reduces inflammation.
3. Glycolic acid peel - is a popular treatment for wrinkles and acne. Part of the alpha hydroxyl family of natural ingredients, glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and is a fruit acid. When applied to the skin, it helps to remove the “glue” that holds the older, rougher and dryer skin on the surface. When it removes that top layer of skin, the fresh, new layer is visible. It’s this layer that’s without damage and which looks fresher.

So go and get a safe peel as per your skin problem, Happy peeling!

Gorgeous skin and hair from cactus? Yup! Its absolutely true.

We hear jojoba, argan, sweet almond and coconut oil in most of the beauty, hair and skin care products. However, the newest revelation is - Barbary fig seed oil a.k.a. prickly pear oil.

Barbary fig seed oil is exceptionally high in vitamin E and linoleic acid, beating out even argan oil. Exceptionally rich in beneficial betalains (powerful antioxidants found in beets), active minerals and amino acids, barbary fig seed oil protects against free radicals, stimulates new cell growth, and calms inflammation. It’s easily absorbed, penetrating below the surface of the skin with ease for maximum benefits without leaving any oily residue behind – a key feature for reticent beauty oil users.

An ideal option for intense, skin hydration, barbary fig seed oil is beneficial to all skin types, supporting skin repair after trauma and providing protection from environmental stress. Excellent for mature skin, it helps address signs of aging including hyperpigmentation, whilst the high fatty acid content plumps skin to help smooth wrinkles and increase firmness. Not only useful on the skin, barbary fig seed oil is also highly beneficial to dry hair and scalp, soothing irritation and boosting shine.

Body Butter :- is the thickest of the three (cream, lotion, BB itself), It has a consistency similar to the butter we eat. BB products are typically manufactured using a combination of carrier oils and essential butters which do not usually contain water.
Carrier Oils : are the substances that are used to hold and deliver the essential ingredients into the skin.
Butters: are the essential fats and minerals that are extracted from natural ingredients (palm, shea, cocoa, mango, etc.)
Carrier oils and butters are combined, sometimes with additional specialized ingredients (the secret formula of every brand!) to formulate a body butter product, hence, each body butter will vary in its unique texture, rigidity, and absorbency.

Now the million dollar question - What's best for your skin?

Blindly buy body butters if your skin lacks hydration and stays dehydrated most of the times. Butters will do wonders to your skin!

Lotions go well for oily skin whilst creams are best for dry skins, both have high water content.

So next time, know your skin type first and then buy right product for you.
