In the last post, we covered some amazing tips about how to keep your skin soft and smooth this Fall and here we are with some useful tips to prepare your tresses to face the cold weather :

• Cleanse Your Hair - Exposure to extreme heat and pollution would have left your hair feeling dry and frizzy over the summer months. Autumn is the perfect time to replenish the lost health of your hair and make way for shiny and smooth hair. 

• Regular Oiling - Sweating or perspiration might have made you miss an important part of any haircare regime ie. Oiling during the hotter months. But Fall is the time when you should oil your hair regularly to control the frizz and protect the damaged hair cuticles. 

• Deep Conditioning - While this step is not exclusive to just one season, but deep conditioning your hair is also a step which you shouldn't skip once summer is gone. To restore the lost moisture of your hair, try a deep conditioning treatment like Bio Musk Root hair pack which thoroughly clarifies hair, makes hair soft and rejuvenates the scalp. 

• Get Rid of Split Ends - Those damaged hair tips with split ends make for a very ugly sight for your otherwise pretty hair. Sun exposure, pollution and dust can often lead to split ends. Therefore, you should get your hair trimmed regularly to chop off the split ends and keep the hair tips healthy. 

• Cover Up Your Hair - If you are heading out in the cold weather, make it a habit to carry a scarf along to cover your hair and protect them from extreme temperatures. You can choose from a wide range of hair accessories to cover your hair which would also make for a stylish option to style your hair this season.

Follow the above given hair care tips to protect your mane this season, and also don't forget to have a balanced diet, hydrate yourself and stock up on the necessary haircare products for your early autumn hair defense.

• Cleansing - An important skincare step you should be following often, if you have an acne-prone skin, is cleansing your skin atleast twice a day. The amount of bacteria, dirt or makeup on your skin is the main cause of pimples. You should ideally wash your face twice a day with Bio Pineapple foaming cleanser which helps control oil, dissolve makeup and purify the pores.

• Hydration - This should be your skincare mantra - Drink atleast 7-8 glasses of water daily - to keep your skin well hydrated and healthy. Drinking adequate amount of water daily will detoxify your body and remove impurities. 

•  Don't Pop your Pimples - Time and again your would have heard this that you should not try to pop your pimples or touch it often. Squeezing pimples can make the condition worse by driving bacteria to the skin and causing skin infection.

Kohl or Kajal is one beauty product which is all you need to give a glamorous look to your eyes and look beautiful instantly. And most of us were introduced to Kajal in our early ages only through our mothers and grandmothers who not only applied Kajal for beautifying eyes but also because of its other benefits.

Kajal is not only popular in India but also in other parts of the world, especially Egypt, Africa and the Middle East.

If you are looking for a natural Kohl, then Bio Kaajal by Biotique is the perfect pick as it is made in a traditional Ayurvedic manner and contains almond oil that conditions and nourishes your eyes. Bio Kaajal is also rich in natural ingredients like pure sesame oil, and extracts of eclipta alba, indian gooseberry and berberis aristata that help promote eye lash growth.


Many people don't know the correct way of applying a Kajal, so in this post we are going to cover few tips to make your eyes look pretty with Kohl :

• Stand in front of a mirror, and use Bio Kaajal to apply a light line to the rims of your eye, from inner to outer corner and repeat this for both the eyes.

• Depending upon your mood and outfit, you can go for a thin line or a smokey look. 

• To achieve a smokey eye look with Bio Kaajal, apply a thin line on your lower lashline as described above. Then apply a thick line on the upper lashline and smudge it with your fingertip or a brush to achieve the desired look.

• You can experiment with your kajal by going for a cat eye look. To achieve this look by drawing out a line on your lower or upper lashline and extending it upwards.  

• A more popular trend these days to apply a Kajal is the Double Winged eye look in which you have to apply the kajal both on your upper and lower lashline. Extend the line on the upper lashline to create a high-flying wing and give a delicate downward curve to the line on the lower lashline.

The summer season is now making way for Fall which means shorter days, drop in temperatures and dry air. The change in season not only calls for a wardrobe transition but also a change in autumn skincare routine. It's time to stack upon some heavy-duty moisturizers, nourishing lip balms and body lotions to protect your skin from the drying weather.



Here we have covered few guidelines you can follow to get a smooth and beautiful skin all through the autumn-winter :

• Intensive Treatment – The summer weather and harsh sunrays must have stripped off your skin from its radiant glow and suppleness. Therefore, an intensive treatment rich in vitamins and minerals is necessary to replenish the lost moisture. We recommend Bio Dandelion serum to get soft and smooth skin.

• Exfoliation - Weekly exfoliation is a must this Fall to keep your skin looking radiant and remove dead skin cells. Bio Papaya scrub is our top recommended product which will help you get the rid of the tan which your skin would have got from the sun exposure and reveal a bright complexion. 

• Nourishment - The key to beautiful winter skin is keeping it nourished and well moisturized all day long. We recommend you to use Bio Winter Cherry body nourisher which has amazing revitalizing, nurturing and lightening properties. 

Fall is also the time to ditch your summer lotions and make way for moisturizing creams to promote a healthy skin texture and provide optimum hydration of the skin. BioSaffron Dew face cream is a rich but easily absorbing cream which helps provides weather protection and nourishment to your skin.

• Protection - You should not let go of your sunscreen yet as protection from sun is required throughout the year. After applying a moisturizing cream, apply Bio Carrot sunscreen lotion to protect the skin from harmful sunrays. Do not forget to keep your lips moisturized with a nourishing lip balm like Bio Almond which deeply nourishes and fortifies lips.

Along with the above given tips, you should also make Toning an important part of your skin care regime to keep your skin hydrated and fresh. We recommend Bio Honey Water toner which has the goodness of pure honey and Himalayan waters to refresh and tones you complexion.

Beautiful and healthy hair is desired by each one of us. And the one haircare mantra that has been passed on to us by our mothers and grandmothers is Oiling of hair regularly. Oiling of hair is not only recommended for treatment of damaged and lifeless hair, but also a good massage helps in stress relief and stimulates blood circulation to scalp.

In this post we are covering some amazing benefits of oiling your tresses regularly to maintain long and healthy hair :

• Increases Blood Circulation - Oiling your hair followed by a massage with kneading pressure opens up the blood vessels and helps increase the flow and boost blood circulation. This helps prevent your hair from premature hair loss and other hair problems.

• Conditions Hair - Busy work schedule, bad eating habits, exposure to sunrays, pollution and other factors can take a toll on the health of your hair. Regular oiling helps fight such hair damage with its deep conditioning action. 

The best way to condition your hair is to heat oil to a certain temperature, apply it with a gentle motion and leave it on for an hour followed by shampooing with Bio Kelp shampoo. 

It's almost the end of August and the Fall has slowly started setting in.

While you work on re-arranging your wardrobe and altering your skincare routine for Fall/Winter, here we have covered few hairstyle trends that are a must try in the new season :

• Bangs - If humidity and hot weather made you stay away from fringes, it's time to cut them short and proudly flaunt them in the coming season. You can choose a style which suits your face shape and accentuate your best features.

And if you are going through the monsoon woes like losing the glow of your face and frizzy hair, we have covered some important Do's and Dont's to follow this season to protect your skin and hair from the rainy weather :


The DO's

• Keep your Hair Dry - Most of us like to get drenched in rain, but that shouldn't mean that you keep your hair wet for long as it may leave your hair frizzy and damaged. You should wipe your hair dry as soon as you get home to keep them protected. Also, keep an umbrella or raincoat handy whenever you head out to protect your hair from rains.

• Indulge in Spa treatments - Rainy season leads to hair breakage and frequent hair loss. To prevent this, you should go for regular spa treatments and if you don't have time to go to a salon, you can use Bio Musk Root hair pack at home and then shampoo with Bio Kelp shampoo to make your hair soft, shiny and healthy.

• We recommend to use pediatrician approved products for your baby all year round but specially in the monsoon season as the baby’s skin is very sensitive and is prone to rashes and infection during this time. All Biotique products are pediatrician approved and recommended.

• Change your kid's wet clothes and shoes as soon as he comes home after getting wet, as it may cause fungal infections and make skin itchy or flaky. A good water bath with Bio Berry bubble bath is recommended. This 100% soap-free bubble wash refreshes and nourishes your baby’s skin naturally without causing any dryness. It is great for a relaxing, joyful bath for your child with the added benefit of keeping him clean and infection free. 

• Use a talcum powder like Bio Basil & Red Sandalwood baby powder which helps absorb wetness and keep the skin free from rashes. The cooling powder has goodness of natural ingredients like pure basil, sandalwood etc. that keep your baby’s skin cool and dry all day.

• Monsoon brings with it menace of insects like mosquitoes, termites etc. which can damage your baby's skin. Make sure your kid's bed has a mosquito net and you use a mosquito repellent on his skin to prevent from mosquito bites.

• Wash your child's hair with Bio Green Apple baby shampoo to rinse away all the dirt and impurities the hair must have soaked in while getting drenched. This gentle baby shampoo has the goodness of pure green apple extract, is pH balanced and rinses hair easily. This shampoo is also pediatrician recommended, as are the other baby products.

• Kids have a very sensitive skin and high humidity levels in monsoon can cause rashes or skin infections. So make sure you are keeping your child's skin hydrated with a moisturizing cream like Bio Wheat Germ cream which protects his skin from dryness and irritation all day long.  It also helps seal in moisture and nurture baby’s delicate skin.

• Children love to savor oily snacks and foods in monsoon season, but they should not be allowed to binge on these fatty food items. Higher humidity makes digestive system weak and therefore junk food can cause indigestion in kids.

It's that time of the year again when the scorching sun is giving way to a breezy weather and rainy days, bringing respite from the extreme heat. But the rainy season also brings along with it higher humidity which we know is trouble for our hair!


But if you follow a proper Hair care regime this season to keep your hair protected and nourished, you can manage to keep many hair problems at bay.

• Wash your Hair regularly- In monsoons you may get caught in rain very often and therefore the first thing you do after reaching home is wash your hair. But washing your hair too often can deprive it of its health and natural oils. You should ideally wash your hair 2-3 times a week to keep your hair clean and nourished. Over washing your hair can lead to excessive drying of your hair and also cause frizziness and breakage. Bio Kelp shampoo is an excellent shampoo for monsoon to prevent hair fall and cleanse your hair thoroughly.

• Deep Condition your Hair - While you should shampoo and condition your hair 2-3 times a week, it is also essential to deep condition your hair atleast once a week using a nourishing hair pack like Bio Musk Root to get rid of the frizziness of hair and make them healthy and soft. It will also smoothen out your hair and neutralize the frizziness caused by rains and windy weather while promoting new hair growth and stopping hair fall.

• Soft, Berry Lips - The easiest way to look pretty and perfect this season is to go for a natural makeup look this season by highlighting your lips with soft, berry colors and using just a moisturizer like Bio Morning Nectar lotion and a matte finish skin primer on your face. 

• Bright Eyes - Use colorful waterproof eye liners or eye shadows to brighten up your eyes and keep the rest of the makeup simple by just highlighting your cheekbones or using a mattifying face powder.

• Glowing Face – Give a natural glow to your skin by just using a tinted moisturizer and a bronzer. Keep your eyes makeup free, and just add a hint of Bio Fruit lip balm on your lips for that girly look.

• Cleanse the Skin - Humidity tends to cause acne on your skin, therefore it becomes essentials to wash your face with a gentle, soap-free cleanser atleast two-three times a day to remove oil, impurities and purify pores. Bio Papaya is an excellent face wash to try this season as it cleans as well as exfoliates your face to dissolve dead skin cells. 

While the summer seems to be ending soon with rains having started in most parts of the country, the summer heat must have left your skin tanned and dull looking. But if you follow a proper skincare regime this season, you can easily get your fresh and glowing skin back.


We have jotted down an easy to follow skincare regime that would help you out in reversing the sun damage, and giving back a beautiful skin-

• Cleansing with Bio Neem - Cleansing your skin thoroughly is an important part of any skincare regime. You should ideally wash your face twice a day with Bio Neem face wash which has amazing anti-bacterial properties that help clean and purify your complexion, bringing out a soft and healthy skin.

• Toning with Bio Cucumber - Summer heat makes you sweat a lot which can lead to clogged or open pores. Bio Cucumber toner has amazing pore tightening properties which help hydrate and maintain the pH balance of your skin. 

Your little ones' delicate, soft skin needs proper protection and care all year around. While your baby's skin is soft and smooth, it is also prone to getting rashes, itching or dryness if not cared for properly.
Here are few simple tips you need to follow to give your baby's skin the best protection and nourishment this season :

• Using a Gentle body wash- A baby's skin is really soft and delicate, therefore you should not use any ordinary soap or body wash to bathe your child as it may be harsh for his skin. We recommend you to use Bio Berry bubble bath which is 100% soap-free and therefore refreshes and nourishes your baby's sensitive skin, without causing any dryness or irritation. 

• Body Massage - A regular massage using Bio Wheat Germ oil of your baby's skin will help make the skin healthy and glowing. A soothing body massage also helps soothe the baby and promote healthy growth.

• Moisturizing- You should always choose a moisturizer which is specially made for children like the Bio Morning Nectar lotion and should apply it to your child's face and body post bath to seal in the moisture. If your baby has a really sensitive skin, you should re-apply the moisturizer every 2-3 hours to keep the skin well moisturized and lubricated, preventing him from dryness or irritation.

Just like women need a proper skincare regime to look good, men need to follow a proper skincare routine including CTM (Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing). Being exposed to sun and pollution, long working hours and stressful jobs can really damage your skin if you don't give it the much needed attention.


Here we have covered some important tips which you should follow this summer for a healthy skin -

• Use good quality razors - A quality razor is like an investment you make for your skin, and you should choose a razor that fits your skin sensitivity and beard coarseness, which would also help you achieve a smooth shave. Also, you should shave off the hair preferably after a shave as the facial hair are made softer by warm water and are easier to be shaved off. 
  

• Exfoliation - Atleast once or twice a week use a gentle but rejuvenating scrub to wash away the impurities and dead skin cells gathered on your skin over the week. We recommend Bio Papaya scrub which not only washes away impurities but also removes tan. Exfoliating also helps softening the hair follicles which in turn would help you get a smooth shave with minimal irritation.

• Daily Skincare - First things first, soaps are equally harsh for your skin as they are women's skin. Therefore you should use a good facial cleanser like Bio Orris Root cleanser that also maintains your skin's natural pH balance. Use a good toner like Bio Honey Water to hydrate your skin and make sure you apply a sun lotion half an hour before you step out of your home.

• Use an After-shave religiously - The key to a smooth and safe shave is a moisturizing shaving cream like Bio Palmyra shaving cream and a generous use of after-shave after each shave. Also, a quality after-shave like Bio Wild Grass which will hydrate and soothe your skin, and also seals in the moisture.

• Stay Hydrated - Like anyone else even men need to have atleast 7-8 glasses of water daily to keep themselves hydrated. And if you are into smoking or drinking, you must have atleast 10-12 glasses of water as these habits can really damage your skin and dehydrate the skin.
  

• Pastel colors - Pastels came in trend few seasons back and still remain the favorite of fashionistas around the globe for their simplistic charm. And soothing colors like pastel pink, mint, aqua, coral etc. would give your nails a fresh look this summer.

• Minimalist nail art - If you don't have time to do an elaborate or complex nail art, you can go for a minimal look eg. adding few details like stripes, polkas with your favorite nail color. Solid nails with contrast tips like the ones shown below are also a favorite with many designers on the runways and are easy to do for everyone.

These days women are not bound to their household chores only. They are moving out and making their presence felt in various fields. However, long working hours and managing the home can get really stressful for you and your skin as well. Stress is a major reason for early aging, lines and wrinkles.
So, follow a proper skin care regime and give your skin the care it needs no matter how busy your day is.

• Cleanse daily - Undoubtedly this is the most important step you of any skin care regime which you should follow whole-heartedly. Cleansing not only helps clear the dead skin cells and impurities but also rejuvenates your skin and opens clogged pores. You should cleanse/wash your face twice a day ideally, once in the morning and once before you go to sleep with a cleanser or face wash suitable for your skin type. 

In the scorching summer heat, the toughest part of dressing up is maintaining your hair. While you can give the best protection to your hair by using the right hair care products, it still gets tough to manage long hair whenever you go outdoors.
But fret not, as you can try various cute hairstyles this season that would not only make you stand out in the crowd but are also easily manageable.
Here we have covered some popular and easy-to-do hairstyles for this summer-

• Top Knots - An easy to do and very popular hairdo on the runways, a messy Top Knot would give you a glamorous look all summer. This hairstyle can be easily achieved in the following ways -

1. Comb your hair to remove any knots

How often you wash your face that matters? Washing too often or too little can cause acne breakouts, drying, irritation and rashes on your face. Also, it is really important to use a face wash that suits your skin type.
Here is an easy guide to follow on how often you should wash your face -

• Normal Skin - If you are lucky to have a normal skin type with rare breakouts or acne, you can wash your face once in the morning after you wake up to remove any dirt or oil that may have built up while you slept. Follow it up by applying toner and a moisturizer. Washing your face at night before you go to bed is a must whether you have gone outdoors or not. For a normal skin, we recommend Bio Honey gel hydrating foaming cleanser in the winters and Bio Neem Purifying cleanser in the summers. We also recommend you to use Bio Berberry makeup remover and Bio Honey Water face toner.

• Keep yourself hydrated - Summers mean scorching sun and that would lead to internal dehydration. So make sure you always keep a bottle of water with you to keep yourself hydrated at all time. Intake of atleast 7-8 glasses of water daily would not only help maintain critical moisture balance of your body and skin but also assist in detoxification.

• Apply Sunscreen daily - Religiously apply a sunscreen atleast 30minutes before you go outdoors and re-apply every 2-3hours for better protection from harmful sunrays. If you are not sure which sunscreen would suit your skin, read our last blog post where we covered the different types of sunscreens and SPFs. We also recommend you to use Bio Morning Nectar SPF 30 Eye Cream to protect your eye area and Bio Morning Nectar SPF 30 lip balm that lightens and protects your lips.
