Prep Up Your Skin and Hair For Valentines Day | V-Day Expert Tips

Valentine's day is just around the corner and you must be pretty excited about planning your outfit for the dinner date. Apart from a trendy dress and accessories, your radiant skin and beautiful smile is what would leave your date mesmerized on the V-day.

With less than a week to go, here is a simple schedule to follow to get a clear and even-toned complexion:

• Exfoliate Your Skin : To remove dead skin cells and dirt accumulated on your skin surface, exfoliate your skin with Bio Papaya scrub on alternate days for a week to remove embedded impurities and unclog pore openings.

Also, use a loofah daily and wash your body with Bio Honey Cream body wash to revitalize skin, remove dead layers of skin and get a fairer and fresh body finish.

• Use Sun Protection : Extreme exposure to sun can cause sunburn and tan which may take many weeks to repair. Therefore, apply Bio Carrot sunscreen daily to keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays and keep it soft and smooth before your V-Day date.

• Get a Pedicure : Long working hours and travel can take a lot of toll on your feet and make them very rough. Get a relaxing pedicure done and use Bio Costus foot cream daily to moisturize rough heels and make way to smooth, beautiful feet which would look good in the stunning footwear you are planning to wear for the date.

Apply an attractive nailpaint matching to your outfit on the day of your date to prevent any chipping.

• Treat Dark Circles : Dark circles and puffiness around the eye area can spoil your face’s beauty. We recommend applying Bio Almond eye cream daily overnight to brighten eye contours and fade away dark circles.

• Style Your Hair Wisely : If you are planning to style your hair before the date, avoid using extreme heat on your hair which can weaken the hair follicles and cause damage. Use Bio Wave styling gel which is a 100% Ayurvedic styling product that will help you get the desired look and get a gorgeous mane.

• Get an Instant Glow : More than anything else it is important that you look fresh and glowing on the V-Day. And to achieve that radiant complexion, we recommend using Bio Fruit pack followed by Bio Dandelion serum, which you should apply on the morning of 14th February to get an instant glow and brighter skin.

Following these simple tips, donning your best attire and getting a natural look by just highlighting your lips with Bio Berry lip balm will give you a stunning appeal without looking over-the-top for the V-day.

How To Get Beautiful Eyes With Kajal

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.

If you want a natural look, just apply Bio Morning Nectar lotion on your face followed by a concealer and brighten your eyes with the Bio Kaajal.

Go for a smokey eye look if you want your eyes to be the center of attention, but keep the rest of your makeup minimal by just adding a hint of color to your lips.

Because area around the eye is really sensitive, make sure you don't share your Kohl with anyone else as it may cause infection or irritation. Also, you should avoid applying any eye makeup if you are having an eye infection.

Make sure you remove all the eye and face makeup before you go to sleep with Bio Almond oil cleanser which is specially formulated to remove eye and face makeup.

Go for Minimal Makeup this Season

Summer is slowly giving way to fresh, breezy monsoon weather which is a delight for everyone. This rainy season, there are few things which no one should miss indulging in, like getting drenched in the first monsoon showers, going out for long romantic drives, treating yourself with lip-smacking snacks and going for weekend getaways.

The rainy season also brings with it some makeup woes like smudging and washing out of makeup, running mascara and much more. But don't let this dampen your spirits, as we you can go for some amazing minimal makeup tricks this season to look your best and make a unique statement -

Graphic eye liner- This season you can go for a different eye makeup look which involves a graphic eye with straight flicks and angular strokes. This retro eye look is the best way to get your monsoon makeup fix.

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.

Apart from these, if you still have to do some party makeup, you should wear makeup carefully to prevent it from spoiling in muggy weather. Avoid using cream eyeshadows as they tend to smudge more. Instead go for powder eye shadows as they will keep the color from melting off on your face and tend to stay longer.

Choose matte lip colors which stay longer on your lips and do not get sticky due to the higher levels of humidity. Also, it is important to use a makeup remover like Bio Berberry that helps dissolve makeup and grime thoroughly.

Tie your hair in a bun or braids as much as possible, and use colorful hair accessories to accentuate your look.
Also follow a proper skin care regime for monsoon to protect your skin from the humidity and keep it hydrated and soft.

How to Look Good without Makeup - Natural Skin Care

The secret to looking good and beautiful without makeup exists and is possible for anyone and everyone.

Women are generally scared to leave the house without any makeup because they think their face will look terrible without any makeup on. That’s not true.

Read these simples tips to make your skin glow and look flawless, NATURALLY. Also, going makeup-free some days and still getting compliments will make you feel more confident about yourself.

Believe in your Inner Beauty - Let's start with the most basic part - believing in yourself and your inner charm.
