Galderma expands Cetaphil’s Nourishing Line with new body care innovations, delivering clinically proven glow through advanced barrier science

admin 0 Comments

  • Developed specifically for sensitive skin, the Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Cream combine hyaluronic acid and skin-essential lipids to strengthen the skin barrier while delivering clinically proven glow.

  • Builds on the successful launch of the Cetaphil Nourishing Oil-to-Foam facial Cleanser, extending the Nourishing Line to body care.

  • Supported by clinical and consumer testing of the Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion, 92% of users reported their skin felt softer, smoother, and more radiant after just one use.

MIAMI, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Galderma today announced that Cetaphil, the dermatologist-recommended brand trusted by millions with sensitive skin, is expanding its science-backed Nourishing line with the launch of the Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Nourishing & Hydrating Cream. Developed specifically for sensitive skin, these new body care innovations are powered by advanced hydration and barrier science to replenish essential skin lipids, help support and restore the skin barrier, and deliver proven glow as a visible sign of healthier-looking skin.

Sensitive skin is more prone to lipid deficiency, which can weaken the skin barrier and lead to moisture loss, dryness, roughness, and increased susceptibility to irritation. Aging and everyday environmental stressors can further deplete these essential lipids, making replenishment critical to maintaining healthy, resilient skin. Consumers are increasingly seeking healthy, glowing skin across face and body, and Cetaphil is meeting that need through clinically developed barrier science that nourishes the skin beyond the surface.

The new Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Cream represent the next evolution of Cetaphil’s Nourishing line, bringing the same technology-driven approach to body care formulations. Backed by clinical and consumer testing, the Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion delivers visible results from the very first use.

“The success of our Nourishing Oil-to-Foam facial Cleanser reinforced the consumer demand for body care rooted in skin barrier science. As we developed the next evolution of the Cetaphil’s Nourishing line, we focused on addressing one of the underlying contributors to dry, sensitive skin—surface lipid depletion. By combining ingredients like hyaluronic acid, lipids, flaxseed oil, and vitamin E in targeted formulations, we created products that not only provide long-lasting hydration, but also help replenish essential skin lipids, strengthen the skin barrier and support healthier-looking skin.”

JP YORK, PHD DIRECTOR, U.S. MEDICAL AFFAIRS, DERMATOLOGICAL SKINCARE, GALDERMA

Rather than simply moisturizing the skin’s surface, the Nourishing line delivers targeted nourishment through advanced ingredient technology tailored to different hydration needs. In consumer assessment results, 79% agreed their skin looked more glowy after just one use. Specifically, for the cream, 98% agreed their skin felt and looked less dry and more hydrated with consistent use*.

“Our goal was to formulate body moisturizers that go beyond surface-level hydration. For people with sensitive skin, the ability to nourish while maintaining the skin barrier is critical, making these formulas with carefully selected ingredients is an important advancement over traditional body moisturizers.”

DR. AARON FARBERG DERMATOLOGIST AND MOHS SURGEON, BAYLOR SCOTT & WHITE HEALTH (U.S.)

A new approach to nourishing body care for sensitive skin Cetaphil’s Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Nourishing & Hydrating Cream were developed to deliver targeted nourishment for different hydration needs while supporting the skin barrier with science-backed ingredients:

  • Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion instantly replenishes surface skin lipids for clinically proven glow, healthier-looking skin while providing up to 48-hours of hydration. Powered by Hyaluronic Acid, Lipids, and Flaxseed Oil, the lightweight, oil-infused formula helps retain moisture, soothe skin, and support the skin barrier for lasting hydration and visible radiance.

  • Nourishing & Hydrating Cream provides rich, long-lasting nourishment for normal to very dry skin with 72-hour hydration and proven glow. Formulated with Lipids and Vitamin E, the fast-absorbing cream deeply replenishes moisture while helping support and restore the skin barrier, leaving skin healthier-looking, smoother, and deeply hydrated. Both the lotion and the cream are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, and developed specifically for sensitive skin.

The Cetaphil Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Cetaphil Nourishing & Hydrating Cream are available now at major retailers nationwide and online at Cetaphil.com.

This Dr Sebagh serum gave my skin an instant glow

admin 0 Comments

The Independent and Yahoo will earn a commission from purchases made via links in this article. Pricing and availability are subject to change.

There’s a rising number of skincare buys containing similar components to in-clinic aesthetic treatments, such as topical PDRN serums that contain polynucleotides. The latest is Dr Sebagh’s exo c booster, a new serum containing plant-derived exosomes, bio-synthesised collagen and vitamin C.

While vitamin C and collagen components are known for offering brightening benefits and supporting hydration, exosomes are said to help promote cellular regeneration and collagen stimulation. With this being the first product in Dr Sebagh’s skincare line to contain plant-derived exosomes, it is an at-home counterpart to the formula being used during the brand founder’s in-clinic aesthetic treatments.

As a 42-year-old beauty journalist always looking for straightforward buys that can help with overall skin health, this latest launch piqued my interest. With its clinical benefits claiming to range from skin rejuvenation to accelerated wound healing and reduction of inflammation, the booster is billed as a base layer to enhance the performance of any other skincare applied on top.

But could it make a difference to my skin? As a busy mum continually seeking accessible skincare solutions, I put it to the test.

Read more: Renew+Me, reviewed by a beauty expert

Presented in a glass bottle with a pipette applicator, the booster has a notably pearlescent finish. This is due to its white mother of pearl component. As well as bringing a luxury vibe to the serum that is reflected in the £68 price tag, I found it adds an instantly glowy luminosity to skin.

Adding a couple of drops to cleansed skin, I used it in the morning and evening. The lightweight liquid easily spreads across skin, leaving a sheer finish. While the inclusion of vitamin C can make my sensitive skin tingle a little, there was no irritation whatsoever with this product. I saw a gently hydrating effect, rather than the serum being an overtly glossy or greasy layer. It also absorbs well into skin, with no lingering residue.

As well as the exosomes, vitamin C and collagen, the exo c booster also contains anti-oxidant ferulic acid and adenosine and glycogen which are said to support the skin barrier and help reduce dynamic wrinkles. While I’m sceptical about any claims that topical skincare can change wrinkles – due to their deep-set nature and the environmental and biological factors involved – hydration-promoting skincare that helps protect the skin barrier can temporarily improve their appearance. The serum does have a smoothing effect, which helps make the tone of my skin appear more even, too.

Because of the immediate radiance it creates, the booster is a brilliant primer underneath make-up as well as being a brightening layer to give tired skin a lift on those bare face days. While I can’t comment on changes to rejuvenation after a fortnight’s use, I’m keen to keep using the booster to see how my skin fares. It’s a great go-to for a vitamin C serum with a difference, and I’m very impressed by the fresh radiance I’ve noted so far.

Is Dr Sebagh’s exo c booster worth it?

With Dr Sebagh’s exo c booster containing a range of potent skincare ingredients, I was happy to see an immediate glow and brightness which continued with further use. While it has a premium price point, the results were noticeable and I’m keen to keep using the serum to chart any long-term improvement. I’ve seen no irritation, either. If you’re looking for a brightening serum with the addition of exosomes, collagen and vitamin C to help promote healthy skin, I’d recommend trying this product.

How I tested Dr Sebagh’s exo c booster

I spent two weeks testing Dr Sebagh’s exo c booster, applying it daily to cleansed skin. During this testing time, I looked at the product’s formula, key ingredients, skincare benefits and how it felt on my skin both immediately after application and several days on. I assessed the product, based on the following:

  • Formula: I considered the booster’s key ingredients and potential skincare benefits as well as the product’s overall texture and consistency.

  • Application: I applied the serum-style booster onto cleansed skin, daily. I noted how it felt on bare skin and underneath make-up.

  • Results: I looked at any improvements to my skin after initial application and with continued use. I continued whether there was a difference to the radiance and brightness of my skin, as well as noting whether any irritation occurred. I also considered whether I’d keep using the product long-term.

Want a Fresh Summer Glow? These 5 Makeup Products Are All You Need

Want a Fresh Summer Glow? These 5 Makeup Products Are All You Need

admin 0 Comments

Show Quick Read

Key points generated by AI, verified by newsroom

  • Summer beauty focuses on minimal, fresh, and lightweight makeup.
  • This approach provides comfort, quickness, and heat resistance.
  • Essential products include tinted sunscreen, cream blush, and mascara.

Summer beauty trends are moving away from heavy foundations and complicated makeup routines. Instead of layering multiple products, more people are embracing a lighter, fresher approach that feels comfortable even during long, hot days. Minimal makeup has become one of the biggest beauty trends this season, focusing on healthy-looking skin, lightweight textures, and effortless radiance.

The biggest advantage of minimal makeup is practicality. Fewer products mean quicker application, less maintenance, and fewer chances of makeup melting in heat and humidity. Whether heading to work, stepping out for lunch, or planning an evening outing, a few carefully chosen products can help create an easy, polished summer look.

Why Minimal Makeup Works Better In Summer

Heavy foundations, thick powders, and multiple layers can feel uncomfortable in rising temperatures. Sweat, humidity, and excess oil often cause makeup to fade, separate, or look patchy throughout the day. A minimal makeup routine focuses on lightweight formulas and smart product placement instead of full coverage. The aim is to create a natural, healthy glow that feels breathable and stays fresh for longer.

Five Products For An Easy Summer Makeup Look

Tinted Sunscreen

No summer makeup routine is complete without sun protection. A tinted sunscreen or lightweight skin tint helps even out the complexion while giving a natural finish. Unlike full-coverage foundations, these products allow the skin to breathe and maintain a fresh appearance. Applying a thin layer using fingers or a damp sponge can help achieve a seamless look.

Cream Concealer

Instead of using foundation all over the face, concealer can be applied only where needed. Focus on areas such as under-eye darkness, redness around the nose, blemishes, or uneven patches. This targeted method gives a more natural finish while keeping makeup light and comfortable.

Cream Blush

A cream blush can instantly brighten the face and create a healthy appearance. Soft peach, coral, and rosy pink shades work especially well in summer, adding a subtle sun-kissed glow. Many cream blushes can also double as lip colour, making them a practical multitasking product.

Brow Gel

Well-shaped brows can instantly make the face look more polished. A clear or tinted brow gel helps define and shape brows quickly without the need for pencils or powders, creating a natural yet put-together finish.

Mascara

A single coat of mascara can make the eyes look more awake and refreshed. Water-resistant formulas work particularly well in summer by preventing smudging from sweat or humidity. For a softer everyday look, applying mascara only to the upper lashes can work beautifully.

The Three-Product Makeup Routine for Extra Hot Days

Some summer days feel too hot for a full beauty routine. On such days, keeping it simple may work best. A combination of tinted sunscreen, cream blush, and mascara can create a fresh, healthy appearance in under five minutes while keeping the skin comfortable.

Keep It Simple This Summer

Summer beauty does not have to involve a crowded makeup bag or a lengthy routine. Sometimes, a handful of lightweight, multitasking products is enough to create a fresh and polished look that feels easy to wear from morning to night.

Summer Skincare Habits for a Healthy Glow

Summer Skincare Habits for a Healthy Glow

admin 0 Comments

Lifestyle

-Oneindia Staff


Updated: Sunday, March 22, 2026, 8:39 [IST]

Summer heat, strong sun, and sweat can affect skin fast. Simple skincare habits can help you keep a healthy glow all season. Focus on sun protection, gentle cleansing, light moisture, and steady care. Choose products that suit your skin type and local weather. Stay regular, since small daily steps work better than big changes.

Sunscreen is the main summer skincare habit. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher on all exposed skin. Apply it as the last step of your morning routine. Do not forget the ears, neck, and the back of the hands. If you have oily skin, choose a gel or light lotion.

Essential summer skincare involves consistent use of broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen, gentle cleansing, light moisturising, and managing sweat to prevent breakouts and maintain a healthy complexion.

Put on enough sunscreen to cover your face and neck well. Many people use too little, so the protection drops. Apply it 15 to 20 minutes before going out. If you stay indoors near a sunny window, sunscreen still helps, as light can reach your skin.

Reapply sunscreen every two to three hours when outdoors. Do it sooner if you sweat a lot or wipe your face. Water-resistant sunscreens can help, but they still need reapplication. A hat, sunglasses, and shade add extra support, especially during strong midday sun.

Cleanse gently, not harshly

In summer, sweat, dust, and sunscreen can build up. Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser. Avoid hot water, as it can dry the skin. If you wear makeup, remove it before cleansing. Do not scrub hard, even if the skin feels oily.

If you feel the need to wash more often, use plain water or a gentle face wash. Too much cleansing can strip natural oils. This may lead to more oil and more breakouts. After cleansing, pat dry with a clean towel. Do not rub the skin.

Moisturise to protect the skin barrier

Many people skip moisturiser in summer, but skin still needs it. Use a light, non-greasy moisturiser. Look for ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid for hydration. If your skin is oily, choose an oil-free formula. Apply moisturiser while the skin is slightly damp.

Exfoliate with care

Exfoliation can help remove dead skin, but do not overdo it in summer. Over-exfoliation can cause redness and more sun sensitivity. Keep it to one or two times a week, based on your skin type. Choose gentle acids or mild scrubs, and stop if skin stings.

Add simple brightening support

For a more even look, some people use vitamin C in the morning. It can support brightness and help with dullness. Use a small amount and follow with sunscreen. If you have sensitive skin, patch test first. Keep products in a cool, dry place.

Manage sweat and breakouts

Sweat can mix with oil and clog pores. If you get acne in summer, use non-comedogenic skincare and makeup. Shower soon after heavy exercise. Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands. If you use acne treatments, start slow to reduce dryness and peeling.

Do not forget body skincare

Body skin also faces sun, sweat, and dryness. Use sunscreen on arms, legs, and feet when outdoors. After a shower, apply a light body lotion to prevent rough patches. Pay attention to areas that rub, like inner thighs. Choose breathable clothing to lower irritation.

Care after sun exposure

If your skin feels warm or tight after being outside, cool it down. Rinse with cool water and apply a simple moisturiser. Avoid strong actives on irritated skin for a day or two. If you get frequent sunburn, review your sunscreen use and your time in direct sun.

Protect lips, eyes, and hands

Lips can dry and darken in strong sun. Use a lip balm with SPF and reapply often. For the eye area, wear sunglasses and avoid rubbing. Hands show sun damage early, so apply sunscreen there too. These small areas are easy to miss in daily skincare.

Keep a steady night routine

Night care helps skin recover from daytime stress. Cleanse well to remove sunscreen and dirt. Use a light moisturiser to support repair. If you use actives like retinoids, use them only if your skin tolerates them. Always follow product directions and avoid mixing too many new items.

Support skin with daily habits

Skincare also depends on daily choices. Drink enough water through the day, especially in heat. Try to sleep at a regular time, as tired skin can look dull. Eat a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables for key nutrients. If you are outdoors often, plan shade breaks.

Best pre-Eid skincare routine 2026 | how to get glowing skin for Eid | Ramadan skincare tips for dehydrated skin | natural home remedies for Eid glow | when to get a facial before Eid | Pre-Eid skincare habits that actually work during Ramadan fasting

admin 0 Comments

Eid preparations usually start with outfits and accessories but somewhere along the way, skincare joins the list too. Between long fasting hours, changing weather, and late-night gatherings, the skin can feel a little tired — making a simple pre-Eid reset all the more welcome.

Hydration is key

One of the biggest challenges during Ramadan is maintaining hydration. Yes yes, it’s the age-old advice of drinking your weight, but honestly there is no better or sustainable option out there!

Long hours without water leaves your skin looking tired, which is why replenishing fluids from iftar till sehri becomes very important.

Alongside plain water, many people are now turning to chia seed water for hydration boost. Electrolyte drinks are also becoming popular, particularly for those who spend long days outside or remain active during Ramadan.

Cleansing and Gentle Exfoliation

A good cleansing routine remains the foundation of healthy skin. And no, you need not have five steps for cleaning your face. However, with warmer weather and daily exposure to dust, sweat, and pollution, cleansing twice a day with a mild face wash is a must.

Also, cleansing alone is not always enough. Gentle exfoliation two to three times a week can help the skin appear brighter and smoother. This step allows moisturisers and serums to absorb more effectively.

That said, moderation is key. Do not over-exfoliate! Especially if you don’t want an irritated skin and with micro tears.

The Truth About Glow

If miracle under-eye creams actually worked overnight, dark circles would have gone extinct by now!

Yet as Eid approaches, ads promising instant fixes seem to pop up everywhere.  Rollers, creams and serums all claiming to erase tired eyes in record time.

The truth, however, is far less dramatic.

Dark circles are often linked to genetics, lack of sleep, dehydration, stress, and dry skin. What does help here is a good moisturiser paired with a hydrating serum. Pair it up with a good sunscreen and you have the golden combination. One that can improve the under-eye area, as well as pigmentation around the mouth and chin.

Nourish From Within

Great skincare begins at the iftar table. While our iftar spread often features fried snacks, balancing them with lighter options can make a visible difference to both energy levels and skin health.

Dishes such as chickpea salad, pasta salad or yoghurt-based drinks with limited sugar are refreshing alternatives that nourish the body without overwhelming it.

Word of advice? Cut down the oil now if you don’t want to welcome a breakout right before Eid.

Time Your Facials

Thinking of getting a facial before Eid? Timing matters.

Most skincare experts recommend booking treatments 10 to 12 days before the celebration. This gives the skin enough time to settle in case of temporary redness or irritation. Trying a brand-new facial too close to Eid can be a very risky business; hardly ideal when festivities are just around the corner.

Keep It Simple

When Eid is approaching, simplicity tends to work best.

A routine built around hydration, gentle cleansing, light exfoliation and moisturising is more than enough to keep skin looking fresh and balanced. Be consistent and the glow will follow.

Sara Tendulkar’s Glow Secret Isn’t A 10-Step Routine, It’s Way Simpler | Beauty News

Sara Tendulkar shares her minimalist skincare philosophy, managing PCOS and sensitive skin with hydration, sunscreen and science-backed basics.

Sara Tendulkar’s simple routine proves less truly is more in skincare.

While the beauty world stacks serums and acids in dizzying layers, Sara Tendulkar takes the opposite route. Her approach to skincare isn’t built on trends or overnight transformations, but it’s rooted in science, patience and doing the basics exceptionally well.

The result? A steady, believable glow that looks like health, not highlighter.

A biomedical scientist and nutritionist by training, Sara Tendulkar views skin through a clinical lens. For her, what shows up on the surface is deeply connected to what’s happening internally. And that mindset changed everything.

When Skin Health Became Personal

Her journey wasn’t without hurdles. Speaking candidly about her diagnosis with Hindustan Times Shop Now, she said, “PCOS brought its own set of challenges, especially oily skin and breakouts. It made me more aware of how closely internal health and skin health are linked.”

Talking about how she balanced her skincare with PCOS diagnosis, she continued, “I focused on consistency with eating clean, strength training, simplified and gentle skincare, and worked with dermatologists to understand what my skin actually needs rather than chasing quick fixes.”

Instead of reacting to every flare-up with a new product, she chose long-term discipline. It’s a slower path, but a sustainable one.

The Power Of Doing Less

For Sara, skincare isn’t complicated, but it’s controlled. She said, “My skin is sensitive and acne-prone, so I am very particular about what I use. I gravitate towards gentle cleansers, lightweight moisturisers, and ingredients that help maintain balance without stripping the skin.”

Her daily ritual revolves around three non-negotiables: cleansing, hydration and sun protection. She added, “My routine is quite simple and consistent. I focus on cleansing well, keeping my skin hydrated, and protecting it from the sun by using sunscreen. I prefer to not overwhelm my skin with too many products as I have learnt that doing the basics well works far better for me than constantly experimenting.”

In many ways, her philosophy mirrors a larger shift in beauty – away from maximalism and toward mindful care. Think dermatologist-backed ingredients over DIY hacks. Barrier repair over exfoliation overload. Consistency over chaos. Because sometimes, the most luxurious skincare routine isn’t the longest one. It’s the one you can actually stick to.

Turmeric for Skin: Ancient Remedy, Modern Glow

Turmeric for Skin: Ancient Remedy, Modern Glow

admin 0 Comments

For centuries, turmeric has been more than just a kitchen staple. Revered in traditional wellness systems and home remedies, this golden spice has steadily earned recognition in modern skincare. Today, dermatologists and beauty experts alike acknowledge that turmeric’s active compound, curcumin, plays a powerful role in promoting healthier-looking skin.

Here’s a closer look at how turmeric can support your skincare routine.

Calms Redness And Irritation

Inflammation is often at the root of many skin concerns — from breakouts to chronic sensitivity. Turmeric contains curcumin, a bioactive compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties. By helping reduce swelling and redness, turmeric can soothe irritated skin and support conditions linked to inflammation.

People with reactive or sensitive skin often turn to turmeric-based masks or creams to help restore balance. Its calming effect makes it a popular natural option for those looking to minimize discomfort without harsh chemicals.

Supports Acne Control

Acne is typically caused by excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacterial growth. Turmeric addresses several of these triggers at once. Its antibacterial qualities help combat acne-causing bacteria, while its anti-inflammatory nature reduces the appearance of swollen pimples.

Additionally, turmeric may help regulate sebum production, which is essential for preventing recurring breakouts. When used consistently and correctly, it can contribute to clearer, calmer skin over time.

Improves Under-Eye Appearance

Dark circles and puffiness often result from poor circulation, fatigue, or inflammation. Turmeric is believed to stimulate blood flow when applied topically, which may help reduce the appearance of under-eye shadows.

While it is not an instant fix, regular use in carefully formulated products can brighten the under-eye area gradually. Its soothing qualities also help ease puffiness, giving the face a fresher, more awake look.

Helps Reduce Hyperpigmentation

Uneven skin tone, acne scars, and dark spots are common concerns across age groups. Turmeric may assist in addressing pigmentation by influencing melanin production in the skin. With consistent use, it can gradually improve the appearance of discoloration.

Many natural skincare blends combine turmeric with ingredients like yogurt, honey, or aloe vera to enhance its brightening potential. Over time, this can promote a more even and luminous complexion.

Offers Antioxidant Protection

Environmental stressors such as pollution and UV exposure generate free radicals, which accelerate skin aging. Turmeric is rich in antioxidants that help neutralize these unstable molecules, supporting skin health at a cellular level.

By protecting the skin’s structure, turmeric may help maintain elasticity and reduce the early appearance of fine lines. While it should never replace sunscreen, it can complement a broader anti-aging routine.

Enhances Natural Radiance

The concept of a natural glow has long been associated with turmeric-based beauty rituals, especially in pre-wedding skincare traditions. By promoting healthy circulation and supporting overall skin vitality, turmeric can help revive dull or tired-looking skin.

When used appropriately, it can leave the complexion looking refreshed and subtly radiant, contributing to a healthy, balanced appearance.

Aids Skin Repair

Turmeric’s restorative properties may also support minor wound healing. Its ability to encourage tissue renewal can assist in reducing the appearance of marks and superficial scars. Though not a substitute for medical treatment, it has traditionally been used to support the skin’s natural recovery process.

Use With Care

Despite its benefits, turmeric is potent and should be used carefully. Direct application can temporarily stain the skin, and sensitive individuals may experience irritation. A patch test is always recommended before incorporating it into a routine.

Whether blended into face masks or included in professionally formulated skincare products, turmeric continues to bridge the gap between ancient tradition and modern beauty science — proving that sometimes, the most effective remedies are rooted in nature.
