A common myth about Summer creams

A common myth about summers is to not use any moisturiser or lotion for the body as the skin doesn't become dry, and hence doesn't require it.

This is completely false.

The skin does need moisturising irrespective of the weather. Plus in summers, the skin needs extra protection.

Moisturising helps feed and repair the skin while protecting the skin from direct sunlight.

It keeps the skin healthy and soft.

Many people would say that their skin becomes oily and sticky when they use a lotion or a moisturiser or some body cream.

This happens because most likely they are using the wrong sort of a body cream/moisturiser.

The skin requires treatment according to the atmosphere it is exposed to.

For winters, a heavy moisturising body cream is required to overcome excessive dryness, and if one continues to use the same sort for the summers, it will naturally not work well.

For the summers, a light nourishing cream is required, which gets absorbed easily and leaves the skin non-sticky and moisturised.

I have been using a lemon based body cream from The Body Shop (which was a gift, basically) and I find it amazing. Works really well for my skin and is not sticky at all.

So when I had to buy another one, I went on and bought a similar sort only with a different base and scent (I like trying on different varieties).

Its Satsuma body puree this time, and it leaves the skin fresh with a soft scent.

So don't leave the skin unnourished and go ahead with selecting the right cream/moisturiser.

Have a wonderful Summer!

Inspiration for the Boys

I spotted some pictures and I really felt like sharing them.

However, this time, its for the Boys.

Hope my opinion matches with every other woman's and you are able to wear just the most loved things.

These sort of googles are what's going on everywhere, and the best part about them is that no one gets tired of looking at them. Even if you aren't wearing them, you can hang them just like that--it give your look a style statement.

Blazers, in my opinion look great and elegant on every man, only it is tricky to wear it in a casual manner. Well this picture says it all.

These shoes would steal the show, trust me. As much as shoes decide a great deal for the women, they do for the men. A casual t-shirt and dark coloured washed denims would go amazingly with them.

I always thought shirts and winter over-alls don't go hand in hand, well, this picture changed my

prejudice.

As summer is in the sky, this look should look superb on just anyone. Its casual and stylish. One could wear googles along with them too.

I love the way some men wear a sweater over a shirt, it looks really great if you ask me. Plus, this style never fades.

I love the polka- its unusual and gives away a statement.

Tuck-in looks really good, but not on everyone, so try and see if this sort of a look plays out with you.

If possible, match it with the same hairstyle.

I haven't seen many men carry this sort of a look, and I don't know why. In my opinion, it is fantastic.

Usually, formals require a handkerchief in the coat pocket, well, this casual look brings out that trend in a different way.

This is vintage, modern, exclusive, and expensive looking. If you spot anything like this...just buy it!

A lot of men wear belts with a bulky symbol at the centre when they tuck-in their shirts. Frankly, its not that stylish but too loud. Instead, a sober belt can turn the look round into elegant and charming.

Hope this post was interesting!

Leave a comment or mail to tell me how you like this post or in case of any suggestions and tips ;)

Happy Sunday!!
