BODY CHECK

Does one fine line around your eyes make you rush to your beautician Why not look at the real problem instead...

If you think that a parlour procedure will make you look like a supermodel, then wake up and smell the coffee. Dermatologist Dr Rishi Parashar advises, Dont think of a makeover. Youll be what you are. Dont get depressed if a facial is not getting the desired result. The problem could be something else. Find out the real culprit...

DULL SKIN:

Means you need to take more Vitamins C, D and E, via fruits and green veggies in your diet. Also, you need more fluids. Your water intake decides your skin texture. Bottoms up, then!

MELASMA:

Melasma (brown patches on face) could be a result of hormonal changes (pregnancy period), iron deficiency or liver problems. Dr Parashar says, Many parlours suggest laser therapy for melasma but the problem can crop up again. Take a diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants and use ample sun protection.

PIGMENTATION:

It could be a result of sun exposure , poor diet, hormonal changes, diabetes, sudden weight loss and thyroid imbalance.

ACNE:

Acne is often a result of hormonal imbalance , poor diet, polycystic ovary disease, constipation and over-active sebaceous glands.

HAIR FALL:

Hair fall can be a result of some illness, abnormal thyroid gland, hormonal imbalance and fungal infections of the scalp.
