How To Get Fabulous Hair This Autumn Winter

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. 

Cleanse your hair 2-3 times a week with Bio Soya Protein shampoo that nourishes your hair and promotes a healthy shine. Follow it up with Bio Watercress conditioner to give maximum protection to your dry or damaged 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. 
We recommend you to use Bio Flame of the Forest oil which fortifies follicles against damage, adds shine and lustre to hair, and maintains its health. A regular massage with this oil will stimulate blood circulation to the scalp and relieve you of stress.

  • 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. 

For best results, you can mix 2 – 3 spoonful of this pack with one egg or half bowl curd to make a paste according to your hair length & your requirement. When used regularly, Bio Musk Root hair pack will help strengthen your hair strands and promote fresh hair growth.

  • 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. 
Also, do not shampoo your hair excessively unless you have very oily hair. Wash your hair 2-3 times a week to prevent drying out of hair.

  • 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.

Tips for Getting an Acne Free Skin

All of us desire a flawless, glowing and younger-looking skin but with exposure to sun and pollution, hectic schedules, poor eating habits and other factors, it can be difficult to achieve that perfect skin. And a common problem which is not only faced by teenagers but adults too is of acne and blemishes. 


Even a small pimple can cause you to fret if it pops up just a day before you have to attend an important meeting, interview or party. But we have got you covered with these simple tips on how to keep your skin acne-free -

  • 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.
Don't forget to tone your face after cleansing with Bio Cucumber toner to keep the skin in its purest form and maintain the pH balance of the skin.

  • 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.



·         Use Clean Makeup brushes - For a healthy and beautiful skin, it is important to use only clean makeup brushes. Your makeup brushes collect dirt, oil, bits of makeup and bacteria on regular use, which can lead to clogged pores and cause acne breakouts. 

·         Don't give up on Products - Some people tend to change skincare products within a few days when they don't see the desired results. It is recommended that you should give a product atleast 10-12 weeks to see if it works before changing your skincare regime. 

·         Anti-acne Treatment - We recommend you to pamper your skin with Biotique's anti-acne range of products that include the Bio Myristica face pack which is a spot-correction product that you can apply on the affected area and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Wash it off with Bio Neem face wash and apply the Bio Winter Green cream to help heal the affected area effectively. 
You can also use Bio Chlorophyll anti-acne gel on a daily basis to tighten pores and soothe the skin deeply. It is a light moisturizer which works well on acne-prone skin, nourishing it and keeping it clear without flaking.
          
If you have a blemished skin, then we recommend you to use Bio Clove anti-blemish face pack which absorbs excess oils, controls pimples and make way for a clear and smooth skin.

With regular use you would get a spotless, clear skin which will surely fetch you many compliments.

It is also necessary to have a balanced diet and do any form of exercise daily for atleast 30 minutes to stay stress-free and keep your skin healthy and glowing. 

Making few changes in your diet like reducing the intake of coffee, chocolates and fried food would also help keep the skin clear and smooth. 
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.
Revitalize Your Skin This Autumn | Fall Skincare Guide

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.
You can also use Bio Pistachioface pack which revitalizes your skin and nurtures it to bring out a radiant complexion.

  • 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. 

If you have extremely dry skin, Bio Walnut scrub would help purify and polish your skin, and sweep away dry lines caused due to the harsh summer weather. Bio Papaya is also an excellent exfoliating face wash which has a gentle refining action to make way for a soft and smooth skin.


  • 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.
Oil Your Way To Healthy Hair | Oiling Hair Benefits

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

  • Prevents Dryness - If you have extremely dry or frizzy hair, oiling with Bio Flame of The Forest oil would help lock in the moisture and nourish the tresses. Oiling would help also help protect hair which has become dry due to coloring, styling or heat treatments.  

  • Encourages Hair Growth - Oiling hair on a regular basis through an effective massage helps promote hair growth. Massaging your scalp in a gentle movement would make the oil penetrate deep within the roots and enhances scalp circulation. 
We recommend you to use Bio Bhringraj oil which has an intensive formulation that nourishes the scalp and strengthen the hair strands to prevent hair loss. You can leave on the Bio Bhringraj oil for 2-3 hours or leave it overnight for effective results.



  • Promotes Shine and Smoothness - If your hair lacks the lustre and shine you desire then you should oil your hair atleast twice a week to give your hair a natural shine. Also, you can use your hair oil as a leave-in conditioner by applying just 2-3 drops of oil to the entire length of hair.
Make sure you use hair oil judiciously and wash it off after every application with a shampoo and a conditioner for effective results.
