Skincare for men

-
Do you know which is the largest organ of our body? Any guesses? Well its the skin! Usually we associate skin care with women only. There are thousands of skin products in the market for them. We men tend to ignore our skin. But don't you think that the largest organ of our body needs pampering irrespective of genders?

When you travel a lot, your skin is bound to suffer...

Since skin is the most exposed organ of our body with the maximum surface area, it bears all the brunt. Hence if not taken proper care, there would be repercussions! You survive young age but skin would start showing signs of distress as soon as you cross your thirties! So here I am with a few quick tips for skincare which are very simple to follow; as we men don't like spending unnecessary time getting ready.

1. Firstly watch what you put in your mouth. Whatever you eat or drink shows on your skin. Avoid  greasy and junk food, too much alcohol and processed foods.

2. Drink lots of water (I know its a cliche) but in the flow of work, we often tend to neglect the most vital drink. Include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.

3. Exercise regularly. Working out is not just for losing weight or building muscles. Everyone. needs. exercise. When we work out our heart pumps blood faster and it brings a glow on our skin. Also exercising releases endorphins into the blood stream which makes us happy. Pranayam prevents signs of aging.

4. Have a proper sleep schedule. Do not skip on your sleep just for the sake of work or partying. There is reason why its called 'beauty sleep'. I have really long working hours and can't go to bed on time. But a duration of minimum 6 hours sound sleep is mandatory.

5. Use skincare products. I am not talking about make up. There are few basic things which every guy needs. Like a moisturizer after a shower. Do not step out without putting on sunscreen. Use an antiseptic lotion after shaving. Wash your face after getting home.

6. Last but most important, stay happy and stress free.

So I round up few skincare items for men which I love to incorporate in my regime.

 1. Shaving Gel: No guy can survive without this. Find it here

 2. Neem Face Wash: Wash your face twice a day. If not possible, then at least before going to bed at night. Use a neem wash to fight off the germs. Find this here.
.
3. A face scrub: Regular exfoliation is necessary to get rid of the dead skin cells. When you live in a polluted city like Delhi, you need to exfoliate twice a week. Find this scrub here.

 4. A nice shower gel: I like making a lot of lather with a refreshing shower gel to prepare me for the tough day ahead. Get this amazing body wash here.
5. A whitening cream/ Moisturizer: Skin needs to be moisturized externally everyday. So after taking bath in the morning and before going to bed. If you are outdoors for too long, you can also use a whitening cream. Find it here.

6. A Facial Kit: Its nice to pamper your skin with a facial once in a while. Find this Facial Kit here.

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the ci...

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind ...

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT TO AMSTERDAM How to reach to the city center from Airport is always a big question while travelling. By far car/taxi is the easiest and most convenient form. But it’s costly, if you are travelling solo or as a couple. There is no harm to save few bugs but yes, comfort is always a priority. Public transport in Amsterdam is very convenient, fast and comfortable.   Shciphol is world’s 14 th largest airport situated 22 Km south of Amsterdam city center. It’s well connected to the city center and nearby places by bus train and taxi. By taxi : The maximum start price of taxi car is near about 2.83 euro, with travel rate of 2.08 euro per km and travel time cost 0.34 euro per minute. So expect a cost between 45 Euros to 60 Euros from shciphol airport to the city center, depending on your location. You can need taxi especially at late night, when the trams stop functioning. The taxi stand is located just outside of airport arrival...
