DO’S AND DON’TS Much like dry skin, if you have sensitive skin avoid the use of products that are alcohol or fragrance-based, have sulfates as well as chemical sunscreens and harsh exfoliants. The important thing to remember with sensitive skin is never to overdo adding products on your face. Products that contain natural antioxidants are great, as are those that gently moisturise and hydrate.

WHY
DIY
SKINCARE WENT BIG DURING THE PANDEMIC w w w.t h e o r g a n i c w o r l d . c o m
A renowned name in the field of beauty and wellness, Suparna Trikha’s interest in nature started early – as a child, she would collect flowers, plants and herbs. She has been a regular beauty columnist, is the author of The Book of Natural Skincare and has her own range of skin and hair care products that are all natural. Here she shares her thoughts on how DIY skin and hair care made a comeback in the pandemic.

DIET CHOICES THAT WILL MAKE YOUR SKIN
glow Keeping your skin healthy and glowing is more than just about applying face creams. While you possibly spend a fair bit of time wondering what to put on your skin, have you thought about how the food you are eating is affecting your complexion? Here’s a list of what you need to be eating and drinking to get that dewy glow!
Stay Hydrated Rule #1: Drink lots of water. If you're dehydrated, it will show up as parched, dry skin. Sip water throughout the day, load up on juices made of fruits and veggies, eat watermelons and cucumbers, which contain a lot of water. Keep your skin moisturised and supple!
Lots of Vitamin C Want smooth, clear skin? Load up on Vitamin C. A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C boosts collagen production, which keeps your skin looking youthful. It also helps even out your complexion and gives a great glow. Make sure your diet includes citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli, blueberries, blackberries, mangoes, kale and red peppers – all great sources of vitamin C.
Include Healthy Fats Fatty acids from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats help keep your skin moisturised. Include cold-pressed avocado, EVOO and coconut oil in your diet to get your quota of healthy fats. Chia seeds, walnuts and flaxseeds are great sources of Omega-3s.
*Do check with your doctor before including/ excluding any fruits and vegetables in your diet. Allergy caution advised. w w w.t h e o r g a n i c w o r l d . c o m
The Wonder Vitamin – E Vitamin E is great for skin health. It helps to nourish and moisturise your skin, has anti-ageing effects and is believed to help in reducing skin damage caused by sun exposure and pollution. Some of the best sources of Vitamin E include a wide variety of nuts such as almonds, pine nuts, and sunflower seeds.
Get Some Selenium In A powerful antioxidant, selenium is believed to protect the skin against sun damage and has anti-ageing properties. The best source of selenium are Brazil Nuts; it is also found in broccoli, green peas, potatoes, spinach and beans.
Don’t forget Beetroot, whether as a juice or part of a salad, will give your skin a radiant glow thanks to its blood purification properties. Rich in Vitamin C, beetroots help in giving you an even-toned complexion. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene and help give your skin a healthy glow. So why not include some of these fruits and vegetables in your diet and get a healthy glow from within?

One of the biggest steps you can take in the direction of clean eating is to switch from conventionally grown foods to organic staples like Wellbe products. How will this help? To understand this, it is important to understand the dierence between organic and conventional farming, which lies in how the food is grown and processed.

What chemicals could you be ingesting?
Artificial Food Colouring: Wondering how that paneer makhani looks such a fiery orange? It is most likely due to the presence of food dyes, used to elevate the appearance
There are several common chemicals/additives that are found in conventional food. They include: Endosulfan: A commonly used pesticide, it has been classified as a yellow label (highly toxic) pesticide by the Central Insecticides Board. The production, storage, sale and use of the pesticide was banned in India in 2011 – but it is still widely used by the farmers in crop production. Monosodium Glutamate: From food carts and restaurants to processed food and Asian dishes, MSG as it’s popularly known, is widely used, to intensify the savoury or umami profile of the dish. Its use has been subject to a lot of debate. While there is no unanimous verdict, some studies have shown that MSG is linked to weight gain and metabolic syndrome.
of several dishes and food. Most of them are derived from petroleum. In recent times there have been concerns raised over these dyes possibly causing allergic reactions, behavioural problems in children and even cancer. Guar Gum: This is commonly used in the food industry as a thickening and binding agent, especially in items like ice-cream, sauces and soups. Rich in fibre, it is safe to consume in moderation. High amounts could have a negative health impact. High-Fructose Corn Syrup: A sweetener made from corn, it is used in sodas, snacks, juices and candies among other processed food. It is high in fructose, a type of simple sugar. Over consumption of any type of sugar is bad for our health and fructose is no different. Inflammation, weight gain and diabetes are the primary concerns.

Consumption of trans fats have been linked to several health conditions including diabetes, heart disease and health inflammation.
