2. Mayonnaise treatment to soften hair

If there’s one thing that we must use a lot of and on a daily basis, it’s sunscreen. No matter what your skin tone, type or condition may be,

If there&rsquo;s one thing that we must&nbsp;use&nbsp;a lot of and on a daily basis, it&rsquo;s sunscreen. No matter&nbsp;what your skin tone, type or condition may be, sunscreen is an absolute&nbsp;requirement&nbsp;to protect oneself&nbsp;from all the harm&nbsp;that&nbsp;exposure to harsh sunlight can cause us.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 In a recent Vogue Beauty YouTube video, Gwyneth Paltrow mentioned using sunscreen only&nbsp;on&nbsp;the high points of her face. This has caused an uproar amongst people&nbsp;as her tip is highly misleading and may&nbsp;cause&nbsp;people&nbsp;to follow&nbsp;her suggestion blindly. She applies sunscreen only to the points of her face where the sun &lsquo;hits&rsquo; it without&nbsp;realising that every exposed bit of skin is open&nbsp;to sun damage equally.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 The founder of&nbsp;the&nbsp;brand&nbsp;&lsquo;Goop,&rsquo;&nbsp;applies sunscreen like highlighter and&nbsp;we&rsquo;re most definitely not here for it! In an ideal world, sunscreen&nbsp;should be re applied every 2-3 hours, but if that is a bit too much then applying a teaspoon worth of sunscreen is the only way to go.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 So&nbsp;slather it on and protect yourself from all that&nbsp;potential&nbsp;sun damage.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Which sunscreen&nbsp;should you use? A gel-based one or a silicone one?&nbsp;Keep the following in mind for your Holi beauty care.&nbsp;Dr Kiran Sethi&nbsp;from Isya&nbsp;Aesthetics recommends&nbsp;using a silicone sunscreen as it forms a good barrier on your skin. She adds that one must go for 100% mineral sun blocks with&nbsp;SPF 30 and above. Wear a thick layer, at least 2 tablespoons and don't forget to reapply if you get wet!

In a bid to become inclusive, consumer goods company Unilever announced that it will get rid of the word 'normal' from the packaging of its personal care and beauty products. It even said that it will do away with digital alterations of body shapes and skin colour of models in its ads, a Reuters report stated. The move comes after the company was slammed for a couple of its advertising campaigns. Last year, it changed the name of its skin-lightening brand from Fair &amp; Lovely to Glow &amp; Lovely. With the new decision, over a hundred Unilever brands will remove 'normal' used to describe hair and skin texture and replace it with terms like 'moisture replenishment' for skin products by March 2022. Unilever said using the term normal made majority of people feel excluded and had a negative impact.

If you are tired of losing hair, take a look at the benefits of onion juice, which may work wonders.
Onion juice is considered to have nutrients that nourish hair follicles, leading to enhanced volume and hair strength.
Experts say this happens because onion juice contains dietary sulfur, which allows hair to grow. Anti-micobial properties of onion juice also helps fight scalp infections.
Apply the juice on the scalp or the roots. To reduce the odour, mix onion juice with any essential oil. Always do a patch test before applying, as it may cause allergies.

Keeping up with the Kardashian&nbsp;tradition, US media personality and momager&nbsp;Kris Jenner is also jumping on to the beauty and skincare industry&nbsp;brandwagon.&nbsp; Reports say, Kris Jenner&nbsp;has documents trademarking both "Kris Jenner Skin" and "Kris Jenner Skin Care:&nbsp;Speculation is rife that her brands could potentially include cosmetics, skin-care, nail-care products, false eyelashes, hair-care products, and fragrances among the prospective offerings.&nbsp;However, Kris has still not publicly commented on her new business venture.&nbsp;
Two of Kris&nbsp;Jenner&rsquo;s other daughters &mdash; Kim and Kylie &mdash; already have skin-care and makeup lines. Kylie Kardashian owns Kylie Cosmetics while Kim Kardashian has KKW Beauty.

Supermodel Kendall Jenner&nbsp;recently announced the launch of her own brand of tequila on Instagram. 'For almost 4 years I&rsquo;ve been on a journey to create the best-tasting tequila,' the fashion it-girl wrote in a post.
But not everyone is pleased with Jenner's 818 Tequila. The Kardashian&nbsp;sister has been accused of exploiting Mexican culture for personal profit by people on social media.
'Tequila production is traditionally a family business in Mexico. I think it&rsquo;s disgusting that another rich white celeb is appropriating Mexican culture,' reads one of the comments on Kendall's post.
While others were just amused that Jenner&nbsp;still doesn't know how to drink tequila properly. "It took her 4 years to create a &ldquo;good tequila&rdquo; and then she proceeds to drink it with ice," one comment read.

The Marc Jacobs' Spring 2021 campaign has a new face and it's American pop icon Madonna's daughter!
24-year-old&nbsp;Lourdes "Lola" Leon features in the American fashion label's latest campaign which celebrates &ldquo;eclecticism and an individualized approach to personal style".
The fashion label shared that Leon reflects the youthful spirit of the brand and Marc has a long history with Madonna, so quite naturally Leon was the best fit for the campaign.&nbsp;
The collection features denim sneakers, purses, tote bags and earrings.&nbsp;

Possibly the most famous export from the Caribbean nation of Barbados, singer Rihanna has raked up a net worth of $600 million at the young age of 32. Bu

Possibly the most famous export from the Caribbean&nbsp;nation of Barbados, singer Rihanna&nbsp;has raked up a net worth of $600 million at the young age of 32.&nbsp;But the 'Good Girl, Gone Bad' singer&nbsp;hasn't actually released a new album since 2016.&nbsp;Rihanna's music has won many accolades but for the past few years, it is Rihanna's&nbsp;business acumen that has kept her in the headlines.
RiRi launched her cosmetics line Fenty&nbsp;Beauty in 2017 and a lingerie label called Savage X Fenty&nbsp;the next year. The multihyphenate added another feather to her hat in 2019 when she&nbsp;became the first&nbsp;woman as well as the first of colour to launch a fashion house under the luxury behemoth LVMH.
While her fashion ventures have been received well, the RnB singer's entry into the beauty industry was considered a game-changer. Hailed for its inclusion of diverse skin colours and gender, Fenty Beauty premiered with 40 different shades of foundation covering a massive range of skin colours.&nbsp;The launch proved to be an emotional one for many, who realised that they had never bought makeup made for their skin in their entire life.
The brand became a canon in the global beauty industry, forcing many major cosmetic brands to at least try to serve the basic makeup needs of people who aren't white or white-adjacent. The brand's unique proposition helped Fenty make its first $100 million in just 40 days.
But the global conversation on shade inclusivity doesn't seem to have had the greatest impact on Indian beauty shelves. Save for premium brands like MAC or Estee Lauder, most cosmetic brands in India still sell variants of light brown that almost never go darker than a Parle G biscuit. Even though India is literally the perfect place for a diverse beauty line, colour hasn't exactly been the marketing strategy for any mainstream brand selling here.&nbsp;
If you browse through the top ranking beauty influencers from India, you'll be hard-pressed to find any sense of colour diversity.&nbsp;Fair-skinned celebrities like Hritik Roshan in Super 30 and Bhumi Pednekar in Bala have gotten away with what our western friends call Blackface with little to no backlash.
As India continues to hit 'add-to-cart' on beauty and nikhaar creams with taglines like "Light Complete" and "White Perfect", the quest for colour-inclusive beauty remains a low priority in India's $6.5 billion beauty industry.&nbsp;So even though India's cosmetic market is pegged to grow to a massive $20 billion by 2025, it is hard to say if there is a large enough slice of the pie that cares about inclusive beauty.

Joining the likes of Selena Gomez and the Kardashian Sisters, model Hailey Bieber&nbsp;has become the latest celebrity to launch a skincare brand this year.
Hailey will use her middle name for the brand and call it 'Rhode' and her trademark covers "wellness merch, bath and shower products, beauty creams, personal cleaning products, cosmetics, makeup, fragrances, haircare, and skincare" according to a TMZ&nbsp;report.
In 2019, Hailey tried to trademark 'Bieber&nbsp;Beauty' but her application was rejected as her husband Justin Bieber&nbsp;had existing patents for cosmetic products dating back to 2010.&nbsp;

Apart from some blesses souls, almost everyone has had to deal with acne at one point or another. The teenage years can be especially rampant with bodily changes and hormones which often means lots of acne. But for some, acne can remain a problem for much longer.&nbsp;
So whether your battle with acne is still on or you simply want to get your skin healthy and glowing from within, these foods can be of great help.&nbsp;
