On Flight – Skin Care

Our skin takes a beating when we hop on a plane for a long flight mainly on account of dehydration of your skin. This is due to the combination of high altitude and temperature and pressure maintenance required in the flight.

Thus the basic care required would be moisturizer, moisturizer and moisturizer!

• Good cleansing forms the base of any skin care regimen you follow. When you plan to board a flight avoid using scrubs and granular cleansers. Also avoid cleansers with glycolic or salicylic acids as these tend to dry up the skin. Instead use mild cleansers or cleansers for sensitive skin.

• Use a light moisturizer or a moisturizing sunscreen as a base for the make up.

• Avoid using heavy foundations and powder make up.

• Also do not forget to moisturize your hands and feet. You can carry travel pack moisturizer (airport approved – less than 3 ounces) lotion or cream.

• Reapply the moisturizer every 4 to 6 hours depending on your skin type. If you have a dry skin you would need to moisturize it more frequently.

• Apply a wet lipstick, avoid using matte lipsticks on flight as this would make your lips feel dry and chapped.

• Use a live-on conditioner or a long lasting Serum on your hair to keep them from drying and getting frizz.

• Drink lots of water when on flight. 

• Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these tend to increase dehydration

Now everyday can be a SLIP-INTO-A-SLEEVELESS-DAY

Imagine never having to worry about your underarms when you pick out a sleeveless top to wear. Or about your un-waxed legs when you want to go out in a skirt. Over 100,000 women have already experienced the freedom from painful waxing and threading with Kaya Skin Clinic¹s  Permanent Hairfree Service. And now it¹s your turn.

We have Dr Sangeeta Amladi, Head of Medical Services, Kaya Skin Clinic to answer all your questions about the Laser Hairfree service, so that you too can always wear whatever that your heart desires confidently.

How does the Laser work? And why do I need multiple sessions?  

The light from the laser beams is absorbed by the melanin in your hair. So, it works directly at the hair roots without harming the surrounding skin.

But, since hair follicles keep re-growing regularly, only growing hair are affected in a single sitting making multiple sessions necessary to ensure best results. Most people require about 6 sessions in a gap of 4 to 6 weeks, followed by a few maintenance sessions.

Is Laser Hair Reduction really permanent?  

Most of our customers experience 80-90% reduction. It reduces the thickness and the amount of hair permanently, so they don¹t need to keep waxing or threading regularly. Generally, after a 6 month course, a few maintenance sessions are required to keep hormonal hair growth in check.

Will it take a long time?  

The duration of each session depends on area that you choose. A single session of the upper lip takes less than 30 minutes, while a full body session may take up to a couple of hours. However, the procedure requires no recovery time. So you can take the service and immediately return to work or get back to your day.

On what parts of my body can I use this treatment?  

Any part of the body can be rid of unwanted hair for both men and women. With our full body option, you can be completely hair free from head to toe, with the exception of the eye area. The most popular areas for women have been upper lip, chin, underarms, bikini line, arms and legs, while most men opt for the back of the neck, underarms, back, chest and abdomen areas.

Skin Sins you might be committing

Make Sure You Wash Your Hair Thoroughly After A Hair Wash: If you have sensitive skin, this can be a real no-no!. Pores get clogged, leading to breakouts, especially along the hairline. Make sure you thoroughly cleanse away any residue from your face after rinsing your hair.

Wearing Too Much Moisturizer: You may be extra-vigilant about keeping skin supple, but too much of a good thing can have a reverse effect. Excess cream won’t absorb deeply enough into cellular tissue, so skin won’t be able to breathe and pores will clog. Sometimes this can even manifest in dryness.

Drinking Through a Straw: Constant puckering can bring on premature wrinkles. Repeated facial expressions, such as pursing your lips, cause fine lines around your mouth to form over time. The solution: Lose the straw and drink directly from the glass, bottle or can

Wearing a Too-Tight Ponytail: The tighter the ponytail, the more prone the hair will be to falling out. Pulling every hair into a taut tuft causes traction alopecia, a form of hair loss that leads to a receding hairline. The good news is the recession isn’t likely to be permanent.

Sleeping in Your Makeup: When you forget to wash your face, your skin has the chance to marinate in a day’s worth of debris and oil overnight. The skin is unable to breathe, regenerate tissue, exfoliate dead surface cells and heal itself.

Cleansing With Water That's Too Hot: A temperature that’s scorching causes broken capillaries on the face. The capillary walls are very thin and elastic, so they are reactive to temperature. To keep skin balanced, always cleanse with lukewarm or tepid water.

Rubbing Your Eyes: The area around your eyes is the thinnest, most sensitive area of the face. It needs to be handled with kid gloves. The more you rub it, the more it will stretch. Repeated rubbing or pulling on the lids, especially when putting in contact lenses, can cause skin to slacken and fine lines to form.

Skin & Hair Tips for Holi!

Holi, the festival of colors and easily one of the most fun-filled and lively festivals is just around the corner. It's an occasion that brings in joy, music and dance, and, of course, lots of bright colors to everyone's home. There is no festival more vibrant, colorful and exhilarating than Holi. However, Holi brings with it the added risk of chemically synthesized colors which are extremely harmful to one's skin and hair. The need to ensure that extra care is taken to protect the skin and hair is very important so you can truly celebrate the occasion in radiant style.

Dr. Sangeeta Amladi- Head- Medical Services, Kaya Skin Clinic gives you a few tips to follow to ensure the glow on your face and sheen in your hair;

Skin care

Skin care is extremely crucial. The different colors used during Holi can lead to contact allergic dermatitis. One should apply a barrier cream or coconut oil on the skin prior to playing with these colors during Holi as this also helps protect the skin. However, if the colors irritate the skin, it should be immediately washed away with ample water and then a moisturizer or local soothing agent like calamine lotion should be applied. These colors make your skin dry hence adequate hydration by means of ample water intake and/or use of a moisturizer after cleansing is extremely important. The cleanser should be one for 'sensitive' skin. Applying oil over arms, legs, and especially elbows and knees can protect from dryness.

It goes without saying that one should be extremely careful that the colors do not go into the eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

Nail care

·       Apply vaseline under and around your nails, feet, elbows and behind your ears -- all the areas that are usually neglected.

Eye care

·       If a water balloon hits you near or on the eyes, rinse immediately with water. Do the same if at any time the colour affects your eyes.

·       If irritation persists or in case of bleeding, cover with a clean cloth or cotton and visit a doctor as soon as possible. Rubbing or massaging the eye is an absolute no-no!

Hair care

Hair can turn brittle and extremely dry if color remains in it for a long time. This is due to the harmful chemicals present in the colours that we enjoy throwing and squirting on each other so much; it is therefore advisable to oil your hair the night before. A gentle shampoo containing sodium laureth sulphate to cleanse followed by a protective conditioner can restore your hair to its healthy state. It is recommended to also wear a cap or a dupatta to further protect your hair.

 WHAT KAYA CAN DO FOR YOU?

To make this Holi even more safe and special, Kaya has a special “Holi Skin Essentials” product offering  which includes our Sensitive range of products and Nourishing Shampoo at an exclusive 'Holi' special price of Rs 1350 (as against Rs 1600) which includes:

ï     Sensitive Cleanser

ï     Sensitive Sunscreen

ï     Nourishing Shampoo

To make your Holi truly colorful:

· Most dry colours are safe, but avoid glittery ones. They contain silica particles that can abrade your skin.

· Avoid metallic colours, like gold and silver.

· Use water-soluble colours and stay away from "permanent" colours because they contain cheap dyes that cause reactions.

 · Make your own natural colors.

We hope these tips will help you have a great Holi!
