Why Dark Circles Appear

Sleepless nights combined with a lot of stress are the top most reasons for dark circles. In some cases, it could also be due to anaemia or lack of iron in the body. The harmful effects of the sun or genetics can also result in dark circles. Therefore it is very important to sleep at regular hours and to have a balanced diet.

How Long Does It Take To Get Rid Of Them

Since there are so many causes for dark circles, it is not possible to give an exact time period of how long it will take for them to disappear. If they are relatively new it usually takes a few days or weeks to make them go away. However, if they have been overlooked for a while then it might take longer. But with the proper treatment you will be able to get rid of them. 

How To Get Rid Of Dark Circles

That is the question of the hour. Dark circles are relentless, they just keep coming back again and again if not treated properly.

Summer is just around the corner and we know you desire to wear your favourite body hugging dress or wear those new pants that you just got. But we know what is coming between your desires– bloating. Yes, bloating at times can create issues and lead to abdominal bloating. Sometimes you will see even your ankles or feet bloated.

We are all aware that getting exercise and drinking water can reduce bloating, but besides that there are other quick fixes that can be tried to keep bloating away.

Avoid aerated drinks

Sipping on aerated water can cause gas problems. Aerated water is very unhealthy and can cause various health issues. Opt for fresh juices or lemon water as they are healthier.

Avoid artificial sweeteners

Your body is not designed to adapt to anything that is artificial in nature. This stands true for artificial sweeteners. Your body is unable to digest them which can result into bloating. So keep away from sugar free candies or artificial sweeteners used in tea or coffee. It is best to use sugar in natural form in your daily tea or coffee.

Eat slowly

As kids we were always asked to chew our food and eat slowly. Guess our mothers knew that it causes bloating. Chewing your food properly helps with the digestion process as there is a breakdown of enzymes faster. This will prevent indigestion and cut down bloating.

Eat cooked food

Raw food is difficult to digest as it takes time to break down the fibres. Cooking your vegetables prevents indigestion as the tough fibre is softened. This brings down the process of digestion which prevents bloating issues.

Go easy on salt

High sodium consumption leads to fluid retention, which is one of the top reasons of bloating. Avoid extra salt on food. High salt intake also causes blood pressure issues. To balance out high sodium intake is by consuming potassium. Grab a banana when you feel bloated as it is high in potassium content.

Avoid starch

Meals that are high on carbs can be difficult to digest. Avoid consuming them late in the evening. It is best to avoid pasta, pizza or rice dishes as it can alleviate bloating. Have starchy food in the day time as you are active, but eating them before you head to bed can lead to bloating the next day.

Hope these suggestions help you fight bloating. Experts always advice to not skip meals to fight bloating issues. It will be advisable to exercise to de-bloat yourself. 

All of us are aware that in the morning we look like a mess and our breath smells horrible. In the night, since there is no saliva flow, it leads to dehydrated mouth and encourages multiplication of bacteria. If you eat food that is high in sulphate like onions, garlic or even spicy food, it can cause bad breath. If you brush and floss daily, it will take care of the bad breath. You can chew some mint or have gum to get the juices flowing in your mouth and help you deal with bad breath.

If the problem continues you have to take necessary actions to keep bad breath away.

The problem is not all of us are aware of the issue, so how do you find it out? One way is to use a dental floss to clean the teeth and once done smell the floss. The other tried and tested method is to lick the back of your hand, let the saliva stay there for 10 mins and then smell it. If your mouth has high amount of sulphides, it will smell.

Most of the bacteria found in the mouth, thrive on the tongue. To prevent bad breath, besides flossing and brushing we advise you to clean your tongue with a tongue scraper. You can find one in metal or plastic, it can remove lot bacteria from your tongue.

Consume healthy carbs to get rid of bad breath. Consume apples, celery and carrots to beat bad breath. Chewing on them increases the production of saliva and keeps bad breath away. Vegetables encourage alkaline ecosystem in your mouth which cuts down bad breath issues.

Drink lot of water as it lubricates your mouth and keeps bacteria away. Sodas, coffee and iced teas do not help to fight bad breath as it encourages production of citric acid. These drinks also remove the enamel from your teeth leading to tooth decay.

The other way to beat bad breath is to use mouth washes. Go for ones that do not have alcohol as they will cause dehydration and increase the bad breath.

Smoking also causes bad breath so steer away from smoking. It does not allow healthy flow of saliva and hinders normal functioning of your mouth. This increases bacteria production and leads to bad breath issues.

Tooth decay or cavities can lead to bad breath too. It is advisable to meet your dentist and get these issues addressed. Diabetes issues and sinusitis can also lead to bad breath.

At times even bad breath can be caused due to side effect of a medicine, so do check the medications you consume on regular basis. Even when you consume these medications, do consume adequate water with it.  

Gargle your mouth with water and lemon juice. Lemon juice helps to refresh the breath and also kills the bacteria. It is the healthiest way to fight bad breath.

Having bad breath is very embarrassing and it can happen to anyone. We know it is difficult to tell a loved one or a colleague that they have bad breath. But if you really care about someone, let it not stop you.

Hope the above suggestions help you overcome bad breath problems and keep it at bay.

We have always encouraged you to head to the gym and we know how difficult it is to take out time for it. At times you have to hit the gym in the morning before you head to work. While there are times you have to go to the gym right before a night out. So how to do you still manage to look good after you have been all sweaty and look messy?

We have few suggestions wherein you can still work out and look good post your rigorous cardio!

• Tie up your hair while at the gym. This way it will not pick up too much of sweat. Have a towel handy to wipe off excess of sweat. Keep your hands off from your sweaty face as it can lead to acne. Also you can blot off the sweat using wipes or tissues.
• Post your work out, loosen up your hair and let it down. Let it breathe as it will reduce the oil production and dry up the sweat on your scalp. If your gym has a shower facility, head for it and just rinse your hair.
• Use disposable body wipes which are easily available at most chemist stores. These wipes get rid of excess oil from your skin. Most of them are gentle and can be used on your face, while others can be used all over your body.
• Use a good moisturizer post your work out. Your skin gets stretched and it needs to be hydrated. Applying a gentle moisturiser will prevent stretch marks from appearing. Exercising makes you lose weight and tone your muscles which can lead to stretch marks. Kaya’s Intense Hydration Body Lotion contains Shea and Kokum Butter that restores essential oils to skin that is dry. Its 24-hour moisture lock formula prevents moisture loss all day long, leaving your skin soft and smooth to touch. To know more: http://shop.kayaclinic.com/shop-online/intense-hydration-body-lotion
• Using a foot deodorizer will make you feel clean as it will absorb the sweat built-up on your feet. You get it in spray or powder form and can apply to your feet as it will kill the bacteria and germs. This will also keep the odour away.
• Head for a shower post work out. Always keep a gym bag stocked with your basic requirements- a change of fresh clothes, clean towel, shampoo and moisturiser.
• Do not forget to apply a sunscreen post workout. It is important to prevent damage from sun and prevent premature aging. Always keep it in your gym bag. Apply before you head for your workout and reapply post it as well. Kaya’s Daily Use Sunscreen SPF 15 protects against both UV-A and UV-B rays while also sufficiently hydrating the skin without making it sticky. With Ultra Boot Star rating of 5, it offers the highest possible UV-A protection against tanning and ageing due to sun exposure.

• Hydrate yourself after the workout. Your body will be dehydrated and sipping on water will help replenish lost fluid. It will also help prevent cramping and benefit your skin.

• Allows you to mingle with guests

Keeping your wedding a minimal affair means you will just have few guests on the list. This will give you the opportunity to mingle with each of them with ease. You will be able to personally meet them and thank them for making it a beautiful memory. A small wedding helps you to do away with the gawkiness of meeting guests who barely know you or your partner.

• Less stress

Since it will just be your family and friends, there won’t be pressure. It will feel more like a celebration of your love. You will not have to be formal and can enjoy your day to the fullest. It will help you to bond with your new set of family and friends.

• Have more luxury

With the number of guests being less, you have the chance to spend on more luxurious things. You can opt for better food, or include alcohol. Maybe shake a leg by hosting a DJ party post wedding celebrations. You can spend on personalised return gifts for your guests.

• You can spend on your honeymoon

It makes no sense to spend money on lavish food spread which ends up in the waste. You could rather save some money for a memorable honeymoon. In the end, you and your partner have to spend lives together. So start creating memories right from the beginning of your married life.

• Invest in a house

Instead of spending money on a big fat wedding, it is wise to invest that money in buying a house. It helps you to shoulder responsibilities together and create your own world and space. It will give you both a secure and stable future together.

• Indulge in charity

Donating and helping the underprivileged is always more satisfying then splurging on an expensive wedding. You will begin a new life together by being blessed for your generous actions.

We are sure these are good enough reasons to have a small wedding yet make it a memorable one for your partner and your loved ones. Even with a small wedding you can make your D day a perfect one.    

Quick Dry

It is a hassle when you are in a hurry and the beauty products do not dry and set in. Moisturizers, toners and makeup products need to dry before you begin the next step. But alas, time is not on your side. In such times a hairdryer definitely comes in as a handy solution. Set the dryer on the coolest setting and dry the areas where the product is still to set. Do not ever use the hot setting on your skin.

Moisture

Your skin is vulnerable to external factors and you put your face through some harsh times with a variety of products. Therefore, moisturizing is important for a healthy skin. Always moisturize your skin after cleaning your face. If you feel your skin taut and stretchy, it means it has very less moisture. So ladies please moisturize your skin daily. Kaya’s Multi-Action Skin Revitalizing Cream improves skin’s elasticity and firmness, evens skin tone & enhances luminosity. It helps reduce appearance of fine lines.

Nail Art

Want to dry your nail paint quicker? Fill a bowl with ice cold water (do not put ice as it will rub against your nail paint and ruin it), once you done with your nail art/paint; wait a minute and dip your fingers in the water. This will harden the nail paint faster and also it will stay on your nails for a longer duration.

Liners

Eyeliners are a part of every woman’s beauty kit, however using them correctly is always difficult. To enhance the colour of your eyes and to make you look alert, use white liner in the inner corner of your eye and on the waterline. Erasing eyeliners can get messy, right? Use a cotton swab dipped in some petroleum jelly and remove the excess of eyeliner. Also in case you are running low on eyeliner, dip your eyeliner brush into mascara and use it on your eyes.

Lipstick

Lipstick is a stunning product, yet it never stays on your lips as long as you want! Don’t worry, there is a trick to make your lipstick last long. After you have applied your lipstick, place a tissue over your lips and very gently add pressed or translucent powder on top of the tissue. Then remove the tissue carefully and bingo—your lipstick is sealed on your lips!

Do not want to carry too many makeup products? Lipstick will come to your rescue. Besides applying to your lips, apply lipstick to your cheekbone and to your brow bone. Rub your fingers in gentle strokes for a subtle colour glow.

Another way to put lipstick to a good use is to use it as a concealer. Go for a red or orange shade. Apply some with a brush under your eyes. Post that, apply your normal concealer. Your face will look fresh and dewy.

Always catch up on your Z’s. It is the time when your body relaxes and your cells  regenerate and rejuvenate. Lack of sleep can create a horde of negative effects such  as decreased productivity, absent-mindedness, dejection, weight gain or loss,  premature aging of your skin, and health concerns such as high blood pressure, heart  disease and diabetes etc. If stress keeps you up at night, try meditation before you go  to bed to relax your system and calm your mind. Your body will thank you.

Ask for help

We know being ambitious means your plate is always full, so there is no harm in  asking for the much needed help. There are days when you cannot get things done all  by yourself. When you ask for help, you give them the opportunity to contribute to  you in some way. It allows them to grow as well by assisting you. Plus they feel good  about it.

Web check- in

Even though this feature is easily available, most of us do not make use of it. It is very handy  when you are hurry or stuck in traffic and want to avoid standing in queues. Plus using this  feature allows you to choose your seat. Just keep in mind it is available 24 hours prior to  flight time. 

Have a back-up

Travelling in an unknown city or country always comes with insecurities. It can get worse if  you lose all your documents. So scan all your important documents and have a digital back up  on an external hard drive as well as have them saved online.

Be patient

Do not lose your head over things that are beyond your control. Life is way too short to be  annoyed all the time. Did you miss your train? Relax, there will be another one. ATM is out of  cash? Always have some extra cash as back-up. Lost in the city? Take an unplanned detour  and explore the city. Sometimes things go wrong regardless. Be prepared.

Have an open mind

Avoid judging people if their views are different from the ones you have. It is supercilious to  assume their views are wrong and you stand correct. Be more accepting to suggestions,  interests and cultures while travelling. It will become easier and you might learn a thing or  two.

Observe

Want to understand the culture and the people? We suggest you spend some time observing  the daily life of a place. Take a halt in a park or  sit on a bench at a busy street. Watch the  life as it happens. It will help you slow down your thoughts and you can keep a watch on  human interactions. It will help you notice stuff you never noticed in your daily routine.

Ditch the heavy suitcases

Want to travel faster? Then dump those heavy suitcases and travel light. Carry stuff that you  need. Mix and match clothes, carry economy size bottles of shampoo and conditioner, roll  your clothes instead of folding (rolled clothes occupy less space). It does take a lot of self- control to pack only the things you really need, but once you get the hang of it, you would  prefer to travel light. This habit will not only help you check-in faster but also help you walk  faster.

Smile

Doing this will smoothen out lot of your problems while travelling. Always make an eye  contact and smile at the locals. Be welcoming. It is the best way to make new friends who  can help you when you are stuck somewhere.

Be good to yourself

Being on a vacation means you forget or avoid following your routine. You may not work out  or get enough sleep or binge on food. Remember you need to treat your body well, keep  yourself hydrated, apply sunscreen (yes, you need to do this even while you are on vacation).  Carry Kaya’s Daily Use Sunscreen that protects against both UV-A and UV-B rays while also  sufficiently hydrating the skin without making it sticky.

Here are ways to develop confidence and peacefulness.

Acceptance

It is essential for your peace of mind. Accepting that there are few sureties in the  world and learning to accept uncertainty plays a major role to keep your mind at  peace. Learn to differentiate between what you can and what you cannot control.    

 Practice Self-love

The more you love yourself, the greater your mind will be at peace. You will be  able to accept yourself more and feel comfortable in the world, no matter what  situation arises. You will experience less insecurity and as a result, you inner  peace becomes stronger.

Love Unconditionally

Love without expectations. If we love with conditions attached, the expectations  can lead to feelings of resentment and inner chaos. 

Have a sense of humour

Do laugh a lot, the world is a better place when you see the lighter side of it.  Laughing releases hormones that help us relax and hence acts as a great cure to  beat stress. Crack or read jokes, watch funny movies or cat videos, read books  that are funny and go for stand-up comedy shows with your loved ones.

Surround yourself with positive people

Be with people who lift you up and support you. Remove all those who bring  negative emotions into your life. It may be difficult to do it, because some of  them maybe your family. But it is important to do it, if you have to grow from  within.

Practice gratitude

Always be grateful about what you have. Focus on things that you have in your  life. It encourages peace of mind. Chasing for the unknown may land you into tad  bit of chaos, which can be avoided.    

Enjoy nature

Head to the outdoors. Go for a walk or take a weekend trek. Living in a concrete       jungle can be detrimental for you. Bask in the sun, listen to the chirping of the  birds and enjoy the tranquillity that nature has to offer.

Go for regular health checks

It will always do some good if you have regular health check-ups. Ignoring yourself  means lack of self-respect. This affects the way the world sees you. Be kind to  yourself always and be contented with what you have.

Be flexible

Avoid taking yourself seriously. Be flexible about your approach towards life. It  becomes easier to face difficult and stressful situations. Being adamant need not  necessarily turn out to be winning.

Live in present

Stop thinking about the past or worrying about the future, live in the present. It’s  all you have, this moment in time. When you live in the present, the anxieties of  the past and future will not bother you.

Sleep well

When you are tired and cranky, things get messed up. Get adequate eight hours of  sleep every night and rejuvenate your body. The most significant ways to achieve peace of mind involves being true to  yourself, accepting that life is tentative and monitor your thoughts. Live for the  moment, always.
