Street Talk 2026: Skin Care – Episode Ten: Skin Type – Dry Combination

admin 0 Comments

Featuring: Karena

Summary

Karena shares how she manages dry combination skin with a gentle, hydration-focused routine inspired by Korean skincare. Having spent more than 16 years working in the beauty industry, she has simplified her regimen to focus on barrier health, while regular microneedling helps maintain radiance in the face of everyday environmental stressors.

Meet Karena: Balancing Dryness and Oiliness

Karena describes her skin as dry combination, with an oily T-zone and drier cheeks that need consistent hydration.

Rather than trying to treat individual concerns separately, she focuses on keeping her skin balanced with gentle cleansing and regular moisturising.

Pull quote: “I’ve got an oily T-zone, and then I get drier around my cheek area, so I have to make sure I moisturise.”

Back to Basics After Years in Beauty

Having worked in the beauty industry for around 16 years, Karena has tested products from countless brands. That experience has ultimately led her to simplify her skincare routine.

Each evening she follows a structured regimen consisting of:

  • Micellar water or cleansing oil, depending on how her skin feels
  • A second cleanse
  • Toner with a chemical exfoliator
  • Serum
  • Moisturiser
  • Hydrating facial mist
  • Eye cream

She says she increasingly favours Korean skincare, finding the formulations gentler than many conventional products.

Pull quote: “I always take it back to basics. You can’t overwhelm your skin too much.”

Gentle Formulations Take Priority

For Karena, effective skincare isn’t about using more products—it’s about using the right ones.

After years of trying different brands, she believes gentle formulations help maintain the skin barrier while delivering hydration without irritation.

Her routine reflects a wider movement towards minimalist skincare that prioritises long-term skin health over complicated, multi-step routines.

Why In-Store Shopping Still Matters

Although online shopping is convenient, Karena still prefers to buy skincare products in-store.

Being able to feel textures, test formulations and experience products before purchasing gives her greater confidence in her choices.

Pull quote: “I like to touch and feel the product so I know what I’m buying.”

Microneedling for Healthy-Looking Skin

Karena has undergone microneedling around four times and describes it as the only professional treatment she would recommend for herself.

She believes the procedure helps skincare products penetrate more effectively and leaves her skin looking noticeably brighter and healthier.

The glow, she says, typically lasts for several days.

Living in London has also reinforced the importance of maintaining her skin, with pollution becoming another factor influencing her routine.

Pull quote: “The serums penetrate straight into the skin and you get the glow afterwards.”

Although she’s happy with the results, Karena says microneedling is as far as she would go, admitting she’s not comfortable with more invasive cosmetic procedures.

Designing a Skincare Product for Everyone

If Karena could develop her own skincare product, inclusivity would be its defining feature.

Her ideal formula would be:

  • Fragrance-free
  • Soft and nourishing
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Gentle enough for everyday use

More importantly, she believes skincare should be designed without unnecessary labels or limitations.

Pull quote: “Genderless, ageless, raceless.”

For Karena, the future of skincare lies in products that are accessible, effective and suitable for everyone, regardless of age, gender or ethnicity.

Key Takeaways for Brands

  • Consumers are increasingly returning to simple, barrier-friendly skincare routines.
  • Korean skincare continues to influence preferences for gentle formulations.
  • Double cleansing remains popular among consumers exposed to urban pollution and daily makeup.
  • Microneedling is gaining traction as a treatment focused on skin quality rather than dramatic cosmetic change.
  • Inclusive skincare that is fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types continues to resonate across consumer groups.

How Hyderabad's scorching heat is changing beauty and sun-care routines for men and women

How Hyderabad’s scorching heat is changing beauty and sun-care routines for men and women

admin 0 Comments

Hyderabad: Hyderabad’s relentless summer heat is doing more than making people seek shade and air-conditioned spaces. With temperatures frequently crossing 40 degrees Celsius, the city’s extreme weather is significantly influencing beauty, skincare, and sun-care habits among both men and women. From increased sunscreen usage to hydration-focused skincare and protective fashion choices, residents are adapting their daily routines to cope with the harsh climate.

Dermatologists say prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays and excessive heat can lead to tanning, pigmentation, premature ageing, sunburn, and dehydration. As awareness about skin health continues to grow, more people are investing in products and routines designed to protect and nourish their skin during the summer months.

“Earlier, sunscreen was considered optional by many people, especially men. Today, we are seeing a noticeable increase in awareness about sun protection across all age groups,” says Dr Priya Sharma, a dermatologist based in Hyderabad in an interview recently. According to experts, broad-spectrum sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher have become an essential part of daily skincare routines, regardless of whether individuals spend long hours outdoors.

The changing weather patterns have also contributed to a shift in consumer preferences. Lightweight, non-greasy moisturisers, hydrating serums containing hyaluronic acid, vitamin C-based products, and cooling face mists are witnessing increased demand. People are increasingly looking for skincare solutions that help maintain hydration without making the skin feel oily in the sweltering heat.

Women in Hyderabad are also modifying their beauty routines to suit the season. Heavy makeup products are gradually being replaced by lightweight formulations, tinted sunscreens, BB creams, and sweat-resistant cosmetics. Many beauty enthusiasts are embracing a more natural look that allows the skin to breathe while still providing adequate protection from environmental stressors.

At the same time, men are becoming more conscious about skincare than ever before. Grooming experts note that male consumers are increasingly purchasing sunscreens, face washes designed for oily skin, anti-tan products, and moisturisers. Social media awareness, celebrity influence, and greater acceptance of male grooming have played a major role in this shift.

Fashion choices are also evolving in response to Hyderabad’s scorching temperatures. Cotton and linen clothing, wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, umbrellas, and UV-protective accessories have become common sights across the city. Many residents are opting for loose-fitting garments in lighter colours, which help reflect sunlight and keep the body cooler throughout the day.

Hydration has emerged as another key focus area. Nutritionists recommend increasing water intake, consuming seasonal fruits such as watermelon and muskmelon, and incorporating electrolyte-rich beverages into daily diets. Experts warn that dehydration not only affects overall health but can also contribute to dull, dry, and irritated skin.

Bollywood celebrities continue to influence beauty and wellness trends among fans. Actress Deepika Padukone has often emphasised the importance of hydration and sunscreen as part of her skincare routine. Alia Bhatt is known for advocating minimal makeup and healthy skincare habits, while Katrina Kaif frequently highlights the importance of cleansing, moisturising, and sun protection. Male stars such as Hrithik Roshan and Kartik Aaryan have also spoken about maintaining skincare routines, encouraging more men to prioritise skin health.

Social media platforms have further accelerated awareness about sun care. Beauty influencers regularly share information about the importance of reapplying sunscreen every two to three hours, using protective clothing, and adopting dermatologist-approved skincare routines. As a result, consumers are becoming more informed about preventing long-term skin damage caused by excessive sun exposure.

Industry experts believe that Hyderabad’s intense summers are likely to continue shaping beauty and personal care trends in the years ahead. The growing demand for sunscreen, hydration-focused skincare, protective fashion, and wellness products reflects a broader shift towards preventive skin health rather than merely treating problems after they appear.

As temperatures remain high, one thing is clear: sun care is no longer a seasonal trend but an essential lifestyle habit for both men and women. In a city where the sun shows little mercy, protecting the skin has become just as important as staying cool and hydrated.

The ‘magic wand’ anti-ageing gadget that ‘made a difference to my 68-year-old skin’

admin 0 Comments

“Wow, I’m so addicted to this machine, it’s like a magic wand. It works with wrinkles and makes the skin absorb the product.”

I found a ‘magic wand’ anti-ageing gadget that ‘really made a difference to my 68-year-old skin’ reduced on Amazon(Image: Amazon)

Anti-ageing routines do not have to mean regular trips to expensive clinics or take up too much time in the day. Using the right anti-ageing products that are suitable for your skin can help improve the visible signs of dullness, sagging, fine lines and wrinkles.

Combining the correct serums and moisturisers with a gadget like Medicube’s Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device is a great way to maximise the efficacy of these products without having to invest in more steps.

Medicube’s Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device typically costs £220 but has been reduced by 48% to £115 as part of Amazon’s Prime Day sale (June 23 to June 26). This brings the price down to £115, the cheapest deal we’ve seen in a while.

While it’s still a considered purchase, the Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device will save on getting glass skin facials in the long run. The rechargeable device combines electroporation, microcurrent, EMS, LED, and sonic vibration to provide professional-level, at-home skincare.

The Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device may not be a miracle cure for rewinding the clock, but it is designed to boost skincare absorption to create ‘glass skin’ while targeting fine lines, skin elasticity, facial contouring, and pore tightening with continued use over time. The brand recommends using the device in five to ten minute sessions throughout the day.

The device is suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin. The gadget combines six technologies into four specific modes, eliminating the need for multiple devices.

On booster mode, the Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device uses gentle electrical currents to create temporary micro-channels in your skin, pushing serums and essences much deeper into skin than doing it manually.

Used on dry skin, air shot mode sweeps electrical currents across your face to gently exfoliate, smooth texture, and tighten the appearance of enlarged pores without breaking the skin. MC mode sends low-level currents to stimulate and plump the skin, targeting fine lines around the eyes and mouth.

The device also features five different LED light colours including blue for pores, red for elasticity, orange for brightening, green for volume, and purple for enhanced absorption) and customizable sonic vibrations. It also connects to the AGE-R app via Bluetooth, which acts like a pocket aesthetician to help you track your progress, control the settings, and build a custom routine.

Elsewhere, Boots is offering 10% off the Sensse MicroGlo Microneedling & LED Device, now costing £89.99 instead of £99.99. The breakthrough in intelligent skincare combines four professional-grade technologies in one sleek device, delivering spa-quality treatments from the comfort of your home.

If there’s more room in your budget, Cult Beauty’s Déesse Pro Sculpta by Déesse Pro is available for £499. The multi-functional device is designed to treat fine lines and wrinkles, and restore contours and elasticity, not just on your face but your body, too.

Back at Amazon, the Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device boasts an overall star-rating of 4.2 out of five based on more 5.939 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: “I have been using for one week so far and have seen great results. This is an expensive product but if you invest in your skin care you will see results.”

A second wrote: “I have been using it for a month and I love it so much. Wrinkles are gone and my double chin appears smaller, will keep using it.”

“After using the Booster Pro Skin Therapy Device for just a week, I’m already seeing fantastic results,” a third penned. “My pores look smaller, and my skin tone is more even and glowing. It’s really easy to use and has made a noticeable difference in how my skin feels and looks. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if you want healthier, more vibrant skin.”

One shopper, however, found the Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device to be be too ‘time consuming’ and gave it a three-star review. It reads: “Easy to use but recommend to use three to five times a day. Who has that kind of time? It is very well made.”

A second three-star review mentions: “Decent device with some benefits like improved absorption and radiance, but results are subtle. LED anti-wrinkle effect is minimal. Pore care works okay. Build quality is good, but expected better for the price. Average performance overall.”

But somebody else loved their latest Amazon skincare purchase, adding: “Wow, I’m so addicted to this machine, it’s like a magic wand. It works with wrinkles and makes the skin absorb the product.”

Another five-star review reads: “Love this device, it really has made a difference to my 68-year-old skin. Great price on Amazon too. Best to look at some YouTube videos for how to use though.”

Derm-Approved Prime Day Skincare Deals That Save Post-Travel Dry Skin

Derm-Approved Prime Day Skincare Deals That Save Post-Travel Dry Skin

Why does my skin break out after flying on an airplane?

“Airplane cabins have very low humidity levels, which can increase transepidermal water loss and leave skin feeling dehydrated, tight, and dull,” says Dr. King.

Additionally, “Changes in climate, water quality, sleep schedules, diet, and stress can also disrupt the skin barrier and trigger breakouts, sensitivity, redness, or flare-ups of conditions like eczema and rosacea.”

Due to these factors, Dr. King suggests post-travel skincare should focus on hydration and barrier repair.

Do you really need a 10-step skincare routine?

admin 0 Comments

With interest in skincare surging more than ever, more complicated routines have become a common practice, where people use numerous products in an effort to deal with problems like acne, dark spots, dryness, and even skin ageing.

Meanwhile, the term ‘skinimalism’ has emerged as well, which focuses on using basic skincare products. Neither of these two approaches is better than the other. A skincare regimen works only if it is able to maintain a healthy skin barrier and address the specific issues people face.

Understanding the skin barrier

The skin barrier is the protective mechanism located in the outermost layer of skin that acts as the initial form of protection against any environmental irritants, allergens, and microbes. In addition, the skin barrier also ensures adequate hydration of the skin by reducing the loss of water from the skin.

Any damage to the barrier results in conditions like dryness, irritation, redness, sensitivity, and inflammation of the skin. Application of too many products or introducing new products frequently also leads to skin barrier damage, especially for sensitive skin.

Benefits of a minimal skincare routine

A minimalist skincare routine involving just three components, which include a gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and regular application of sunscreen, is more than enough for the majority of people to achieve good skin health. Some benefits associated with adopting a minimalistic skincare approach include:

  • Elimination of the chances of skin irritation and interactions among different ingredients
  • Making it easier to pinpoint what causes irritation
  • Improves consistency in the skincare approach
  • Promotes a healthy skin barrier
  • Decreases chances of contact with fragrances and preservatives
  • Reduction of redness, dryness, and irritation

When multi-step routines can be helpful

A multi-step skincare regime does not necessarily imply something bad. Some skin conditions might be helped through the proper incorporation of other products into one’s routine. Acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and signs of aging usually require more than the essential three skincare ingredients. Some of the extra products might be:

  • Retinoids to help with photoageing and acne
  • Vitamin C as an antioxidant and skin toner
  • Niacinamide for barrier function and sebum production control
  • Azelaic acid to treat inflammation, pigmentation, and acne

It is essential to make sure that the products that are incorporated are for a particular reason and not just due to popularity.

More products do not always mean better results

One widespread misconception is that using more products promotes healthier skin. This is far from the truth, as using too many products on the face may lead to irritation, incompatibility issues, and weakening of the protective barrier.

The skin that has been exposed to several active ingredients may react to them rather than withstand them. Healthy skin does not necessarily need a complex skin care routine.

Finding the right balance

Many people believe that the more items used, the better the outcome will be. It has been observed that over-layering increases the probability of irritation as well as skin barrier dysfunction.

Most dermatologists advise using cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen first before anything else. An effective skincare routine does not depend on the number of steps used but on how well it protects the skin and maintains skin barrier functions.

A good routine must be personalised to meet the skin requirements of the individual. It is also important to recognise that skin health is influenced by factors beyond topical products. Adequate sleep, a balanced diet, proper hydration, and stress management play a crucial role in supporting skin barrier function and overall skin appearance.

How To Build A Travel-Ready Skincare Routine In 5 Steps

How To Build A Travel-Ready Skincare Routine In 5 Steps

admin 0 Comments

According to Hari Ram Rinwa, Founder, Ashpveda, “Planning a trip is exciting, but choosing which skincare products to pack can be overwhelming. The change of climate, dry aeroplane air, long days of sightseeing, and an irregular routine can quickly take a toll on your skin. The trick to having a travel-friendly routine is to keep it simple.” This is how you can create a smart, streamlined skincare routine that travels well.

How To Build A Travel-Ready Skincare Routine In 5 Steps

1. Begin with a Gentle Cleanser

Travelling exposes your skin to sweat, sunscreen buildup, pollution, and unfamiliar water, making a gentle yet effective cleanser essential to remove residue without disrupting your skin’s natural balance. Oil-based cleansers are particularly effective at breaking down sunscreen and daily impurities while helping maintain the skin barrier. Jojoba Oil works beautifully in this role. Cold-pressed and lightweight, it cleanses thoroughly without feeling heavy and preserves skin hydration. It also doubles as a nourishing lip and hair treatment, making it a versatile, travel-friendly essential for a simplified routine.

2. Add a Hydrating Serum

Cabin air and temperature changes can leave the skin looking dull and dehydrated, making moisture support essential while travelling. Applying your hydrating serum on slightly damp skin helps improve absorption and keeps skin feeling supple rather than tight or fatigued. For those with oily skin or travelling to warmer destinations, a few drops of Grapeseed Oil can help regulate excess oil without clogging pores. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it especially suitable for humid climates, keeping the skin balanced and comfortable throughout the journey.

3. Select a Moisturiser that Supports the Barrier Function

Your moisturiser should adapt to your destination and climate. In moderate or humid weather, a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula works well to keep skin balanced without feeling heavy. For colder or drier environments, richer nourishment becomes essential to prevent dryness and discomfort. Sweet Almond Oil provides deeper hydration and lasting nourishment, making it ideal for dry skin and cooler climates. To further support your skin during long flights or sudden weather shifts, add a drop of Vitamin E Oil to help strengthen the skin barrier and maintain resilience.

4. Never Skip Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Sunscreen is a must, whether you’re exploring the outdoors or flying at high altitude. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher that is not greasy and is easy to apply under makeup. To save space in your luggage, use a tinted moisturiser with SPF to hydrate, protect, and perfect your skin in one step. Reapply often, especially when travelling to tropical or high-altitude areas.

5. Bring an On-the-Go Refresher

Travelling on long-haul flights can cause your skin to look fatigued. Keep a refreshing, hydrating mist with aloe or rose water in your bag to instantly revive your skin. Alternatively, bring a multi-functional oil such as Jojoba Oil to spot-treat dry areas of your skin, cuticles, and lips.

Smart Travel Skincare Tips

The key to building a travel-friendly skincare routine lies in choosing intelligent, multitasking essentials that deliver effective results without adding bulk to your luggage. By focusing on cleansing, nourishment, barrier support, and climate-appropriate care, you can create a streamlined routine that adapts effortlessly to changing environments. Opting for pure, skin-safe formulations that perform well across different climates makes packing simpler and more practical. Versatile oils can help maintain skin balance, hydration, and resilience, ensuring your skin stays healthy, refreshed, and radiant despite long journeys and fluctuating weather conditions.

5 Anti-Ageing Habits That Go Beyond Serums and Creams

5 Anti-Ageing Habits That Go Beyond Serums and Creams

admin 0 Comments

According to Dr Shifa Yadav, Consultant, Dermatology, Artemis Hospitals, “Anti-ageing is often linked with expensive serums, creams and cosmetic treatments. Healthy ageing really starts from within. Of course, skincare products may help improve the look of skin. How we eat, sleep, move and manage stress has a far greater impact on how we age than any cream we put on the surface. Developing healthy daily habits can help you keep your skin youthful, your muscles strong, your mind sharp, and your overall well-being for years to come.”

5 Anti-Ageing Habits That Go Beyond Serums and Creams

Prioritise Quality Sleep

Sleep is one of the most potent anti-ageing tools. While you sleep, your body mends damaged cells, creates collagen, and recharges your energy. Sleep deprivation can cause dull skin, dark circles, wrinkles and increased stress hormones that speed up the ageing process. Adults should try for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night for good health and healthy ageing.

Eat for Longevity

A diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and lean proteins provides nutrients that help protect cells from damage. Berries, spinach, tomatoes and green tea are all antioxidant-rich foods that help fight free radicals that contribute to premature ageing. Drinking enough water is critical for the skin to be elastic and for the body to be able to process things.

Stay Physically Active

Exercise does more than keep the body fit. It aids blood circulation, builds muscles and bones, raises energy levels and aids the health of the heart. Physical activity also triggers the release of hormones that help repair tissue and reduce inflammation. Even a daily 30-minute walk can bring huge anti-ageing benefits.

Stress Management

Long-term stress can accelerate the ageing process by promoting inflammation and interfering with hormone balance. It can also cause bad sleep and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Practising mindfulness, meditation, and deep breathing and spending time in nature can all help to reduce stress and improve emotional well-being.

Protect Your Skin Naturally

While there are benefits to skincare products, simple habits such as wearing sunscreen daily, not smoking, limiting alcohol intake and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure can prevent premature wrinkles and pigmentation. Such preventative measures often have more long-term benefits than expensive treatment.

Anti-ageing isn’t about looking younger overnight. It is about establishing good habits that will pay off for your body and mind over time. The real foundations of ageing gracefully and staying vital at every stage of life are quality sleep, proper nutrition, regular exercise, stress management, skin protection and mental engagement.

Key points generated by AI, verified by newsroom

  • TV star Gauri Pradhan suggests face yoga for natural beauty.
  • Exercising facial muscles improves tone, reduces wrinkles, and fine lines.
  • Specific exercises include Fish Face, The Poser, and Brow Line Eraser.
  • Consistency with face yoga enhances overall self-care routines.

Expensive skincare products, salon services and complex cosmetic regimens are frequently linked to radiant skin But according to TV star Gauri Pradhan, one of the best beauty techniques doesn’t involve expensive products or specialized tools. After more than 20 years in front of the camera, the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi star recently disclosed that face yoga has been an important component of her beauty regimen. The actress claims that maintaining a naturally lifted and renewed appearance can be achieved by routinely exercising the facial muscles.

According to Gauri, there are around fifty muscles in the face, neck and lips many of which are hardly used. In order to improve facial tone, promote circulation and lessen the appearance of typical issues including smile lines, forehead wrinkles, droopy eyelids and double chins, face yoga focuses on engaging these muscles through specific movements.

5 Face Yoga Exercises Shared By Gauri Pradhan

  • Fish Face: Gauri suggests beginning with the Fish Face exercise, which involves making a fish-like look by sucking the cheeks inward. Hold the pose for around 30 seconds, then progressively extend it as your facial muscles get stronger. It is said that the activity will lessen the appearance of smile wrinkles and help clarify face contours.
  • The Poser: In this exercise, the face is turned to one side and the palms are joined above the head in a namaste stance. Hold the position for roughly 30 seconds while extending the tongue toward the nose, then switch to the other side. Gauri claims that it may help lessen the look of a double chin by engaging the muscles in the neck and jawline.
  • Brow Line Eraser: Try to elevate the eyebrows without letting wrinkles form by placing both palms firmly across the forehead. Perform multiple sets of the exercise, repeating it about 20 times. The goal of the workout is to reduce noticeable forehead lines by strengthening the muscles in the forehead.
  • The Caterpillar: Gauri also recommends gently crawling across the eyebrow region with the fingertips. This exercise, when done with light pressure, strengthens the muscles surrounding the eyes and may help enhance the stiffness of the eyelids while lessening the appearance of crow’s feet.
  • Cheek Caterpillar: Apply a mild moisturizer, then make a fish-face expression and move your fingers gently over your cheeks. It is thought that this workout, which targets the cheek muscles, will eventually result in a more defined, toned, and elevated appearance.

Consistency Is Key

The simplicity of face yoga is one of its main benefits. You can do the exercises at home, on breaks from work, or even while doing everyday chores. Face yoga shouldn’t be seen as a substitute for skincare, hydration, sun protection, and a healthy diet, but experts say regular self-care practices are still crucial for keeping skin looking good. Gauri’s message is simple: it may occasionally be necessary to rely less on chemicals and more on regular wellness routines in order to get a natural glow.
