How To Choose Your Beauty Products Wisely by Manisha Chopra

 Recently Manisha Chopra, Co-founder, SeaSoul Cosmeceuticals shared some important tips on how to chose your beauty products. She has gorgeous skin her self so let's listen to what she has to say!

There’s no denying that summers can wreak havoc on your skin. The scorching heat not only leaves an uneven and unwanted tan but also ends up dehydrating that flawless glow you nurtured during the more conducive weather. The sudden spike in mercury and its deleterious effects on our skin can make many of us desperately reach out for products that make lofty promises. But this is when we have to sit back and get a grip on ourselves.
Simply rubbing expensive solutions on the face isn’t going to bring your glow back.

Follow these simple beauty tips for the summer and reclaim that lost sheen by making wiser product purchases:

1. Protect from within: Of course, protecting your skin from the burnishing rays of the Sun with sunscreen is imperative. But you also need to accompany that with a rigorous diet that heals from within. Did you know that eating certain foods can protect your skin from Sun damage? Yes, chomp on those lycopene-rich tomatoes, beta carotene-loaded sweet potatoes and carrots and of course green leafy veggies. These food items contain the power to reverse and even prevent the harmful effects of Sun exposure.        
   
2. Investigate those ingredients: Before buying an expensive beauty product that promises the world, be sure to check its composition well. No matter what the brand, if the item contains Sulfates, avoid it like the plague. These components started off as industrial strength cleaning additives so you can only imagine how harsh they are. Also, be careful of the misapplication of the word ‘organic’ and ‘Ayurvedic’. These terms are often used in misleading ways to propel sales but don’t actually offer the benefits of a completely natural product.

3. Discover miracles of the Dead Sea: The Dead Sea contains 26 essential minerals of which 12 aren't found in any other water body in the world. These minerals are venerated across the world and for good reason. Summer is a great time for you to discover how embracing the goodness of the Dead Sea can help. Its minerals and salts can aid tremendously in fighting skin pigmentation caused by exposure to the Sun. They also lighten discoloration and uneven tan and promote a healthy complexion. Look for products that combine the therapeutic Dead Sea minerals and blend them with other natural components like, perhaps, Argan Oil and Goji Berries. These products can not only cure Sun damage but also nourish your skin to make it stronger.

4. Heal at home: While the West is busy aping our home-made remedies for various skin problems, we in India tend to overlook them in favour of branded products. It is a misconception that anything that comes in a packaged bottle must be more effective. On the contrary, ask your grandma for recipes of packs she used to apply as a young girl and undo that skin burn. Simple combinations like yogurt with chick pea flour, a mix of lemon and honey, Aloe Vera gel blended with honey, all work like magic to rejuvenate your skin and are also very cost effective.
