TL;DR Many people visit salons for detan facials, which claim to remove tan and give a glowing face, but they often don’t work effectively. Different skin types (Type 1 to Type 6) have varying responses to tanning and sun exposure. Indian skin is thicker and more prone to tanning and pigmentation compared to Western skin, making it susceptible to sun-induced skin disorders. De-tan facials primarily clean the skin’s top layer and hydrate it, but they don’t target deeper pigmentation. CNF offers various tan removal treatments, including chemical peels, Glutathione injections, PlasmoDerm, Hydra-Rich injections, and Laser Toning, with a team of expert cosmetic injectors, doctors and dermatologists using FDA-approved technologies. According to the survey, 63% of respondents reported getting a tan in 2021, a 9-percentage point increase from 54% in 2020, and 33% reported getting sunburned in 2021, an 8-percentage point increase from 25% in 2020. When it comes to removing tan from their face, many people visit salons to do de-tan facials. The salons offer various tan removal facials and claim to remove the tan and give you a glowing face. However, such facials don’t work as per claims. Tanning gets beyond your skin’s top layers and impacts the deeper layer because of which tan can’t get removed completely.  At CNF in Bengaluru, you can opt for the right treatment suited to your skin type for removing the tanning.  Different Types of Skin Tanning and Pigmentation Skin tanning can be of various types depending on your type of skin: Type 1 This type of skin looks pale or light and sunburns easily, however, it sometimes tans. Type 2 It is a light skin that tends to sunburns and tans occasionally. You can hardly see the tan on Type 2 skin. Type 3 Type 3 is a light intermediate skin, which usually tans, hardly sunburns, and makes your skin look a little darker.  Type 4 Type 4 is a dark intermediate skin, which often tans and rarely sunburns. The tan looks medium brown on your skin.  Type 5 It is a type of dark skin, that mostly looks brown, does not sunburn, and sometimes darkens because of tanning. You can see tanning clearly on Type 5 skin. Type 6 Type 6 is very dark skin, which mostly looks “black” and doesn’t sunburn. This type of skin is naturally blackish brown and tans easily.  The Difference Between Indian Skin and Western Skin Tan Indians have various skin tones depending on the amount of melanin in your body. Skin is classified according to color composition and outcome of UV ray exposure. On a scale of Type 1 to 6, the Indian skin belongs to Type 3 to 6. Indian skin is much thicker than Western skin and thus, less prone to get sunburnt and more prone to tanning. The harmful sun rays are one of the key reasons for Indians’ tanned skin. Unlike Western skin, Indian skin is prone to sun-induced skin disorders, such as melasma and hyperpigmentation. UV rays cause severe damage to skin with high melanin content.  Why De-tan Facials in Salons Not Target Pigmentation? De-tan facials don’t target pigmentation as it affects the deeper layers of your skin. A de-tanning facial procedure in a salon involves deep cleaning to remove impurities, dirt, extra oil, and dead cells from your skin’s top layer. Thus, you get a clean face free of dirt and impurities rather than giving you tan-free skin. A de-tan facial only hydrates your skin and gives you a glowing face. Multiple repeated facial sessions can gradually lighten the tan on your face but can never remove it. You Deserve Personalised Perfection. Book Now What Kind of Treatments Work for Tan Removal? Here are the treatments you can get at CNF that work on de-tanning: Chemical Peels Chemical peels can help to get rid of tan and promote your skin’s exfoliation and regeneration by removing the tanned layers. This rejuvenating skin treatment exfoliates the skin’s topmost layers with mild acids derived from natural sources of different strengths. As the skin layer peels, it reveals smoother and youthful skin with fewer wrinkles and fine lines. The recovery takes 4 to 7 days depending on the peel’s intensity.  Glutathione Injections Glutathione injections can remove tan by converting into GSSG/Glutathione Disulfide stopping melanin production and attaching to melanocytes’ tyrosinase enzyme. The injections neutralize the oxidative stress caused due to high free radicals in your body. Our experts decide the dosage of injections depending on your tanning, skin tone, skin type, and body weight. You can resume normal activities immediately without recovery time or taking medicines.  PlasmoDerm PlasmoDerm uses the capabilities of your blood cells to boost collagen production in your skin. PlasmoDerm injections can remove tanning from your face, reduce the appearance of scars, and give you youthful skin. The treatment involves injecting a concentrated solution of fibrin and platelets into your skin.  When combined with other treatments, like chemical peel or laser resurfacing, PlasmoDerm can deliver better results. At least 2 sessions at an interval of 6 months are required for the best results, which are visible after 2 to 3 weeks.  Hydra-Rich Injections Hydra-rich is one of the most effective injectable treatments to remove tan and give you glowing and hydrated skin. The treatment involves a series of injections, which pass the ingredients deep inside your skin and hydrate your skin, which makes your skin look supple and smooth for approximately 9 months.  As Hydra-rich contains high and low molecular weight HA, it can pass deeper into your skin. Besides tanning, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and increases elasticity in your skin. A single session delivers the desired results, which stay for 9 months with no recovery.  Laser Toning Laser toning removes tan and other issues, that affect the pigmentation, be it they are at the skin’s surface or deep dermal layers. The process uses laser energy to penetrate the targeted areas of your skin. The laser beam breaks pigments, which usually appear as the

TL;DR Lip plumping treatment involves using injectable fillers, often containing hyaluronic acid, to achieve plumper and fuller lips. Candidates for lip injections include those looking to restore lip size, add volume to thin lips, enhance lip shape, smoothen wrinkles around the mouth, or hide a gummy smile. The treatment procedure includes applying a topical anesthetic, injecting fillers into various lip areas, and is relatively painless. Lip fillers typically last for 12 to 18 months, with potential touch-ups required to maintain volume. Preparing for lip filler injections involves avoiding alcohol, certain medications, salty foods, and hair removal treatments beforehand, while disclosing relevant medical information to the expert. Natural-looking results are achievable with skilled practitioners, considering overall facial balance. What is Lip Plumping Treatment? Lip plumping treatment is an aesthetic procedure to give you plumper and fuller lips. Nowadays, injectable fillers are the most common lip-plumping method. The most common types of lip fillers contain elements like hyaluronic acid. As hyaluronic acid is a natural element found in your body, it adds volume to your lips. Your lips lose volume over time because of genetics, sun damage, and smoking.  With fillers, you can add or restore volume to lips. They can’t stop your aging process but give you fuller lips, which improves your confidence. Lip fillers usually stay for 1 to 1.5 years. However, longevity depends on your age and how quickly your body breaks calories into energy.  Consult the doctor at CNF in Bengaluru if you want to have full and plump lips. Ideal Candidates for Lip Injections When it comes to getting lip fillers, you should be healthy without an oral infection, like cold/canker sores, and have realistic demand. Many people get lip fillers only to increase the size of their lips. The ideal candidates for lip injections are those who want to: Your lips tend to get thinner/smaller with aging. The philtrum (groove between the septum and upper lip) may get flatter and longer. The distance between the mouth corners (inter-commissural distance) can increase. With filler injections, you can get back your thicker and larger lips. Fillers can fix your upper and lower lips. The injections can restore the volume that your lips have lost because of getting older. Many people’s lips don’t even show when they smile. Fillers can always add the desired amount of volume to your lips and make them look much fuller than before.  Lips are asymmetrical and thus, they are of different shapes and sizes. If you aren’t satisfied with the current shape and size of your lips, you can get fillers for enhancement as they can fix symmetry concerns.  Wrinkles may sometimes develop on your mouth sides when you laugh or just smile. The key ingredients of fillers, like hyaluronic acid, can plump the targeted skin area, which smoothens out your wrinkles.  Lip fillers can conceal your gummy smile. The filler injections can plump up upper lips and reduce the amount of gum. Your upper lips’ volume increases, which hides your gummy smile.  Many females aren’t happy with their lips getting thinner as they get older and with the shape and size of their lips because of which they feel less confident. You can’t stop aging and fix your lip size and shape. Thus, you should get fillers as they can give you well-shaped, fuller, and plumper lips, which makes you feel more confident.  You Deserve Personalised Perfection. Book Now The Treatment Procedure  Our doctor applies a topical anesthetic to numb your lips so you don’t feel pain and lip augmentation treatment gets comfortable. Your lips get numb after approximately 15 to 30 minutes. We inject fillers into one or all over your lips, including the curve in the upper lip center (cupid’s bow), lip edges (vermillion border), and oral commissures (mouth corners).  The lip filler treatment causes no pain but may give you a pinching sensation and your eyes get watery. CNF is the leading injectable clinic in Bengaluru, which comes with the best injectors in India. We use top-quality fillers following a safe approach to deliver the desired results. Get lip fillers at our clinic if you want fuller and plumper lips with no severe side effects.  How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?  Lip fillers don’t deliver permanent results, and stay for 12 to 18 months. The results gradually wear away after a year of getting fillers depending on your body’s metabolism. You may require touch-ups every 6 to 12 months to retain the desired volume in your lips.  How to Prepare for Lip Filler Injections?  Getting lip fillers can be exciting but also comes with risks. You may experience post-procedural swelling, which varies depending on the area to be injected. However, following the tips below would mitigate the post-treatment risks and prepare you well for lip filler injections:   Don’t consume alcohol for at least a day before getting lip fillers. Avoid taking certain medicines and supplements. Avoid eating salty foods before the treatment. Don’t do hair removal treatments at least 2 days before treatment. Tell our expert if you have cold sores, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on immunosuppressive treatment.  Can Lip Injections Look Natural?   Lip fillers can look natural when injections are performed by our experts as we consider your other facial features and balance. Natural-looking lip fillers help balance your face’s lower portion as they draw the lips back considering the chin, nose, and jaw. You get a natural-looking pout, which isn’t about adding volume to full lips but adding volume to points, such as lip corners and cupids now. The lip fillers add volume, rejuvenate aging lips, and sculpt thin lips rather than increasing their size. Start with 1ml lip fillers as they look natural. Lip Flip Vs. Lip Fillers  The lip flip procedure involves injecting a small amount of Botox into your lips’ borderline to make your lips look more youthful and sensual. Your lips also get a little volume enhancement. While fillers add volume to your lips, improve their shape and make them look

TL;DR Wrinkles are a natural part of aging and can be caused by factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and repeated facial expressions. Different types of wrinkles include fine lines, forehead lines, dynamic wrinkles, static wrinkles, under-eye wrinkles, and smile lines. Common causes of wrinkles include aging, UV light exposure, repeated facial expressions, and smoking. Prevention measures for wrinkles include sun protection, the use of sunscreen, retinoids, moisturization, hydration, a balanced diet, sleeping on the back, and avoiding facial movements that contribute to wrinkles. Non-invasive wrinkle removal treatments offered at CNF in Bengaluru include topical creams and serums, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, Botox injections, dermal fillers, PlasmoDerm (PRF), OG fillers, and HIFU.

Removing wrinkles from your skin is crucial if you want to restore your youthful charm.

Visit our clinic for an expert consultation on your current skin condition.  Understanding Wrinkles Wrinkles, medically termed “Rhytids”, are folds or creases in your skin. It’s a natural process for your skin, nails, and hair to age with you. Prolonged or frequent exposure of your skin to sunlight develops early wrinkles, liver spots, and dark areas on your skin. It also increases the risks of your skin getting cancer. Consistent exposure to cigarette smoke can also form wrinkles on your skin.  Here are the most common types of wrinkles: Fine lines are usually the very first signs of aging. They start appearing around your eyes and other parts of the face as your skin ages. Such shallow lines mostly appear along expression lines, which appear when frowning, laughing, or smiling.  Forehead lines, a type of expression wrinkle, develop as horizontal lines from raising your eyebrows or vertical lines to furrow them together. Those lines usually stick around when your skin’s structural base starts breaking down.  Dynamic wrinkles show up when expressing worries, fear, sadness, surprise, or joy. You can see them when crying, smiling, laughing, frowning, or concentrating on certain things. Such wrinkles fade as quickly as they develop. You won’t see them anymore as your emotions fade and your face looks blank. The most common types of dynamic wrinkles are forehead wrinkles, frown lines between eyebrows, crow’s feet, and smile lines.  As dynamic wrinkles initiate sticking around, they develop into fine lines, which are always visible. Static wrinkles stay even when you are resting and facial muscles get relaxed. When your skin gets thinner and collagen levels decrease with age, it gets tougher for it to retain its original shape and thus, the fine lines start settling in.  Under-eye wrinkles spread across the orbital area, where you can see the aging signs because of extremely thin skin. Over 10 muscles surrounding your eyes contract when you smile, express, and squint, which can cause wrinkles. The infusion of hydration to your skin can diminish the appearance of wrinkles.  Smile lines, “marionette lines” or “laugh lines” extend from the nose sides and curve surrounding your mouth. When you smile in front of the mirror, such lines show up like a pair of stretched closed parentheses. They are a type of expression wrinkle formed by laughing or smiling. The consistent use of the orbicularis muscles forms laugh lines, which gives you the ability to talk.  Common Causes of Wrinkles Here are the key causes of the formation of wrinkles on your skin: Aging With aging, your skin loses elasticity and becomes more fragile. The reduced natural oil production makes your skin dry and prone to wrinkles. As the fat in your skin’s deeper layer decreases, your face looks saggy with more prominent fine lines.  UV Light Exposure UV accelerates your skin’s natural aging and causes early wrinkling.  UV light exposure breaks down the connective tissues in your skin, such as elastin fibers and collagen, which lie in your skin’s deeper layer. Your skin weakens and loses flexibility with no supportive connective tissues. It starts sagging and gets premature wrinkles.  Same Facial Expressions Repeated facial motions and expressions, such as smiling and squinting, cause wrinkles and fine lines. Whenever you use a facial muscle, it creates a groove below the skin surface. Aging decreases the flexibility in your skin because of which it can’t spring back to its position. Such grooves then become your permanent features.  Smoking Regular smoking speeds up your skin’s normal aging process, which causes wrinkles. Smoking decreases the collagen production in your skin. You Deserve Personalised Perfection. Book Now Prevention Measures for Wrinkles  Here are the tips to prevent the development of wrinkles:  Avoid stepping outside in the sun as much as possible. Apply sunscreen lotion on your skin as it acts as a shield against wrinkles.  Take retinoids. Moisturize your skin every day. Drink sufficient water every day to keep your skin hydrated and healthy internally.  Eat foods high in vitamins and antioxidant properties.  Sleep on the backside. Avoid facial movements, such as frowning and squinting, which accelerate the formation of wrinkles. Quit smoking as it reduces elastin and collagen production.  Non-Invasive Wrinkle Removal Treatments At CNF At CNF, you can opt for these non-invasive treatments to remove wrinkles from your skin:  Topical Creams and Serums  The right topical creams and serums can help in removing wrinkles. Retinoids, including chemicals, such

TL;DR Aging leads to sagging skin due to decreased collagen production. Skin-tightening facials are popular for rejuvenating skin but may not provide significant tightening. Collagen and elastin are vital for firm skin, and their reduction causes sagging and wrinkles. Factors like sun exposure, stress, and aging contribute to reduced collagen and elastin. Non-surgical skin tightening treatments like HIFU, laser, chemical peels, fillers, bio-fillers, and Plasmoderm can address skin laxity effectively. The skin-tightening marketplace is expected to grow at a rate of 11% by 2028.  With aging, your skin sags because of decreasing collagen. Many people look much older than their age because of their sagging skin. Skin-tightening facials are growing popular among people who want to tighten their skin and get back their youthful charm.  The leading salons promote skin tightening facials as the solution to tighten and lift skin without downtime. They claim such facials target your skin’s deeper layers with radiofrequency/ultrasound technology, which gives you smooth and youthful skin.  However, skin tightening doesn’t work in giving you tight and firm skin. Getting facials repeatedly can gradually improve your skin quality but can’t tighten your skin. To get firm and youthful skin, you need advanced treatment at our clinic in Bengaluru. Our skilled doctors at CNF checks your skin condition and then suggests the right skin-tightening treatment.  The Science Behind Skin Tightening  Your skin tends to get loose and sag as you age. Nowadays, skin tightening treatments implement a safe method to get into the deeper layers of your skin and increase collagen production. Such treatments reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin while enhancing your complexion and skin texture. You get natural results, which give you a rejuvenated skin tone and enhance your beauty.  Collagen and Elastin: The Building Blocks of Firm Skin Collagen and elastin are proteins in your body, which work together to keep your skin tight. As collagen production reduces, your skin loses its natural structure and gets fine lines, wrinkles, and textural issues. With naturally losing fatty tissues, the decreasing amount of collagen loses facial volume, which gives you sagging and loose skin.  Elastin maintains elasticity in your skin and keeps it resilient. Your skin starts sagging with the breakdown of elastin fibers. Wrinkles and fine lines develop on your skin, which makes you look tired most of the time. Collagen and elastin production is reduced because of sun exposure, stress, illness, genetics, aging, and exposure to toxins. By preventing the decrease of collagen and elastin production, you can maintain a firm and youthful skin.  Factors Influencing Skin Sagging and Aging Here are the key factors that contribute to your skin sagging and aging: The Promise of Skin Tightening Facials You can find many posh salons promising to tighten your skin and give you a youthful face with their skin-tightening facials. However, they aren’t truthful claims. Your face will sag as you will grow older. The skin on your face droops down and forward, and thus you lose volume in your central face. Thus, facials with different topicals at salons can never give you tighter and more youthful skin.  If you want to tighten your skin, you will have to go for the right skin-tightening treatment as only facials won’t deliver the desired results. Getting a facial massage repeatedly can only renew skin cells through blood flow circulation beneath your skin. It prevents puffiness and accumulation of fluid generated from the lymphatic system. Proper blood circulation adds nutrition, proteins, and oxygen to your skin but can never tighten it.  The Reality Check With the growing concern of people wanting to have tight skin, the tightening facials have certain myths. Many people believe that facial massage can tighten skin gradually. However, skin laxity isn’t related to muscles, and thus no massages can tighten your skin. When muscles build inside your body, you may add sufficient volume to fill some of the loosened skin. But, your skin doesn’t get tightened noticeably with facial massages. Our advanced skin tightening treatment can tighten your skin as it uses warmth and pressure to boost collagen production. The increased collagen can give you firm and toned skin, be it on your face, neck, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and other body parts. For instance, laser treatment can boost collagen production and mildly firm your skin.  Understanding the Placebo Effect Facial seems to be the “real” skin tightening treatment but it’s not. You may gradually get better but never a tight skin. Your skin can never tighten naturally as it loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid as you grow older. Plastic surgery gives you the illusion of tighter skin, however, it does not get tightened. The loose skin only gets stretched and replaced.  The right non-surgical skin treatment can give you tight skin with no downtime. Our doctors can tighten crepey or lax skin on your face and other body parts. It boosts collagen and elastin production, which enhances your skin texture and tone. Non-surgical skin tightening treatment can be the right choice if you have mild to moderately relaxed skin and don’t want an unnatural-looking facelift.  You Deserve Personalised Perfection. Book Now What Kind of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatments Work? Here are the different types of non-surgical skin tightening treatments you can do at CNF: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) HIFU involves using concentrated ultrasound energy to your body part with a handheld device. It is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates cells, rejuvenates tissues and produces more collagen. As a result, your saggy skin tightens and lifts. Collagen production tends to reach its peak in 2 to 3 months.  During that period, you can see your facial skin getting healthier and looking younger. The number of HIFU sessions you require depends on the level of your skin laxity, your body’s response to ultrasound energy, and collagen production. You can see an immediate effect post the session but the best results show after 2 to 3 months.  Laser Skin Tightening Laser skin tightening treatment is a minimally invasive treatment that

Multiple factors may dry out the moisture in your skin, mainly during thewinter. Even though water inside your skin evaporates more on humid days, it is much lesson low-humidity days. Dew points in single digits or less than 0 may make your skin feelextremely dry. Your skin’s outermost layer contains dry cells, which sit over the living andnew skin cells beneath it. Once the topmost layer dries, it shrinks and gradually cracks. Afterthat, our dry skin starts flaking off.  Causes of Dry Skin Dry skin is an issue that mainly occurs because of a lack of moisture in the layers. Here arethe key causes of dry skin:   Aging With aging, the oil glands inside your skin that produce moisture dry up. Due to this reason,the collagen, elastin, and fat content in your skin also dry up, which develops thinning skin. Genetics and Health Disorders You are likely to get dry skin if you have genes prone to it or have a health disorder, whichcauses dry skin. Some health conditions that may cause dry skin are diabetes, eczema,kidney disorders, and allergies.  Climatic Condition The environmental temperature can affect the level of hydration in your skin.

Dehydration Dry skin loses moisture and thus looks extremely dehydrated. The major signs of dehydratedskin are dryness, itching, and fine lines.

The itching even makes it difficult for you tosleep and can wake you up during your deep sleep.  Cracks The dried-out skin shrinks, which forms cracks.

TL;DR Bengaluru pollution linked to severe acne: Pollution exposure clogs pores, triggers breakouts, and damages skin elasticity, causing premature aging. Clinic Next Face offers aesthetic treatments for acne: Dermatologist-customized treatments for skin issues. Bengaluru’s high pollution levels: Rapid deterioration of PM2.5 levels, extreme pollution in winters, but relatively more “good” AQI days. Pollution causes acne: Depletes Vitamin E, oxidizes sebum, blocks pores, triggers reactions in skin products. Hard water worsens skin: Dryness, soap scum, collagen breakdown, scalp issues, exacerbates existing skin disorders. Bengaluru’s pollution is harsh and it can be one of the key reasons behind your severe acne. Your skin’s consistent exposure to pollution deteriorates the acne-prone skin’s clogged pores, which causes acne breakouts. Pollution causes free radical damage, which makes your skin lose elasticity and age prematurely. Sun exposure, sweating and heat trigger the acne condition on your skin.  At CNF, you can opt for an aesthetic treatment to treat your skin and get a clear and glowing face. Our skilled doctors checks your acne condition and then customizes a acne treatment plan accordingly to fix the issues.  Pollution Levels in Bengaluru – Statistics and Trends The pollution level in Bangalore is high throughout the year. According to the study by the Centre for Science and Environment, Bengaluru witnessed the quickest deterioration of PM2.5 levels and had the worst extreme pollution in 2023 winter for the last 4 years. The report also showed statistics related to air quality in Bengaluru. The everyday PM2.5 level hit 152 µg/m³ on 27th January, the highest 24-hour PM2.5 average in the Karnataka capital since 2019. However, Bangalore had the maximum number of “good” AQI days among the megacities.  Pollution and Acne Unfortunately, pollution and acne are strongly related. You may be eating healthy, and following a proper skincare routine, but still, your skin may get acne only because of it getting exposed to pollution every day. The toxins present in the air you inhale damage your skin  Here are the ways pollution causes acne: Vitamin E protects your skin against all types of external damage, such as pimples, age spots, sunburn, and skin cancer. Consistent exposure to polluted air depletes the level of Vitamin E in your skin. It exposes your delicate skin pores to oxidative damage. Pollution leads to oxidative damage to your skin. It gradually loses its natural moisture. Oxidation aggravates your skin cells more rapidly than they should. Due to this reason, people living in crowded and polluted cities age so fast. Such oxidative damages develop inflammation, which causes acne. The polluted air’s microscopic dust elements block skin pores and fill your face with blackheads. If you wipe your skin using wet tissue paper when stepping indoors, you can see a high amount of grime accumulating on your face. Severe pollution can cause acne filled with pus on your face and throughout your body.  Many skincare products contain squalene oil, an ingredient harvested from rice bran, olives, and other natural resources. Squalene is a natural antioxidant that starts reacting and converting to squalene peroxide after exposure to polluted air. Such a reaction causes severe acne gradually.  About Bangalore’s Hard Water Worsening Skin Condition Bangalore’s hard water has a dangerous level of TDS of over 1500 mg/liter, which may cause various health disorders. Water with at least 1200 PPM of TDS levels may cause critical skin disorders.  Here are the ways hard water can worsen your skin condition:  Dry skin is one of the most common outcomes of using hard water. Its minerals allow very less moisture to enter your skin. Hard water minimizes the effects of lotion/moisturizer on your skin. It builds up calcium bicarbonate, which is harmless but blocks pores and gives your flaking skin.  When hard water mixes with your soap and shampoo, it builds a soap scum layer as the water can’t produce lather. Washing off soap scum is difficult and may cause itchiness if left to dry. The soap chemicals also mix with the water’s calcium carbonates. As the layer strengthens further, it causes dryness and other skin issues.  Bangalore hard water minerals are heavy, which break the collagen inside your skin, which causes wrinkles and premature aging. The skin gets weaker and thus, more sensitive to pollutants. The normal skin dryness caused due to hard water can further damage your skin.  Hard water has almost quick and harsh effects on your scalp. It dries out your scalp, irritates the skin, and causes dandruff. The soap or shampoo you may use can create a thin layer. A dry scalp also causes hair fall and hair thinning.  Skin disorders, such as psoriasis and eczema, can get worse when you use hard water. The mineral accumulation may cause critical irritation in people having such skin disorders. Besides the minerals, the concentration in Bangalore’s hard water is also harmful. Excessive hard water utilization may cause dermatitis.    You Deserve Personalised Perfection. Book Now Tips to Protect Your Skin from Pollution Follow these tips below to protect your skin from harsh pollution: Clean Your Face Everyday Remove make-up nicely and clean your face twice daily to remove all dirt and maximum pollutants on the surface.  Exfoliate Skin Exfoliate your skin one or two times a day. Besides washing out dead skin cells and clogging pores, exfoliation prevents dirt, bacteria, and pollutants buildup.

Then, apply a moisturizing lotion, cream, or fluid suited to your skin type. The cream and serum complementing each other can help in rebuilding the protective barrier.  Apply SPF Creams and Lotions You should apply cream or lotion with sun protection every day.

More melanin production gives you darker skin, hair, and eyes. Your body’s level of melanin production depends on factors such as genes and the level of exposure your ancestors had. Melanin can be of three types – Eumelanin, Pheomelanin, and Neuromelanin. Eumelanin and Pheomelanin give color to your skin, eyes, and hair.  All humans usually have the same amount of melanocytes, which produce various amounts of melanin. People with more melanin usually have darker skin, hair, and eyes than those with lesser melanin and may even get freckles. However, melanin protects your cells’ genetic materials by avoiding hazardous UV rays. The excess melanin production causes hyperpigmentation, which is harmless. You may also have dark patches of skin.  Factors Influencing Skin Pigmentation Your skin gets color from an element called melanin, which is composed of skin cells. Unhealthy or damaged skin cells can produce excess melanin, clumping and darkening the area.  Here are the several causes of hyperpigmentation: Types of Skin Fairness Treatments Here are the types of skin fairness treatments you can do at our clinic:  Chemical Peel A chemical peel is about applying a chemical solution on your skin to remove the topmost layer.
