Experts believe that using multiple ingredients together causes issues as the drugs may be interacting with each other to create the problems.

Sunblocks with zinc oxide is harmful, according to new study

Check if your sunscreen is doing more harm than good

According to researchers, when zinc oxide is used beneath or on top of other organic sunscreens, it does not filter as much UV radiation compared to either product alone.

Sunblocks aren&rsquo;t just a cosmetic item for the summer months but a year-long must-have derma product to protect your skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Sunblocks also protect against photoaging, which appears as dark spots, sagging skin and wrinkles.&nbsp;
However, a new study has found that in certain combinations, sunblocks may also have a harmful impact on the skin. Published in the journal&nbsp;Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, the study discovered that sunscreens that contain zinc oxide may lose efficacy after two hours in the sun. Not just this, they may also become hazardous when combined with other chemicals present in most sunscreens.

According to researchers, when zinc oxide is used beneath or on top of other organic sunscreens, it does not filter as much UV radiation compared to either product alone. A mixture degrades the organic UV filters thereby not only decreasing efficiency but also producing potentially hazardous byproducts.
Experts believe that using multiple ingredients together causes issues as the drugs may be interacting with each other to create the problems. However, they added that more randomised controlled studies needed to confirm the findings.

Acne is not associated with teenage years only, as many people can get acne and pimples much later on in life – even during their 30s, 40s, or 50s.

Acne problems? Avoid these common mistakes for healthier skin

Acne is quite a common skin disorder, but there is a chance that you may have the urge to squeeze them or burst them or just obsess over them a lot more than needed.&nbsp;

If you are making these mistakes, then you are not nursing your acne right

Acne isn&rsquo;t a rare phenomenon and nearly 3 out of 5 people have faced the challenge of bumps popping all over their face at least once in their lifetime, according to a recent survey by the National Institute of Biotechnology in the&nbsp;USA.&nbsp; In fact, acne is not associated with teenage years only, as many people can get acne and pimples much later on in life &ndash; even during their 30s, 40s, or 50s.
There are many treatment options to help clear out acne but, in your quest for clear skin, we urge you to be careful and definitely steer clear of these&nbsp;common mistakes.
1. Excessive washing and scrubbing
(USE GIF&nbsp;2) Your mom might tell you to keep washing the dirt off your face for clearer skin. However, make sure to not vigorously (USE GIF&nbsp;1) do so using harsh face washes and face scrubs. This might worsen the condition as it can lead to skin irritation and cause severe inflammation.
2. Squeezing the pimples
It may be super tempting to pop that zit (USE GIF&nbsp;7), but please do not do so! It could lead to a scar or infection, or worsen your breakouts. The pimples might also pop from deep within the skin, and squeezing them can cause long-term redness and permanent depression in the skin.
3. Avoiding moisturizer
As opposed to the common belief that moisturizers might increase breakouts; a well-hydrated face (USE GIF&nbsp;9) can help clear your skin. You can use a non-comedogenic&nbsp;moisturizer as it will not cause pore blockage, reducing the&nbsp;chance of further breakouts.&nbsp;
4. Skipping sunscreen
One of the greatest sins is avoiding sunscreen for any reason whatsoever! (USE GIF&nbsp;5) And if you believe that sunscreen might affect your acne medication, then you must know that some acne meds make your skin more prone to infection due to the sun&rsquo;s UV rays, according to Georgetown University Medical Center in USA. So, save your skin and use ample sunscreen (USE GIF&nbsp;6)&nbsp;can be non-comedogenic) before stepping out.
5. Giving up too soon
Always remember that every skin type is different. If the product label claims to fix your acne problem overnight or in a fortnight, it's probably not going to happen. (USE GIF&nbsp;10) You need to have patience and not stress about the treatment not working. Stress will sometimes lead to further breakouts and you'll find yourself stuck in an endless cycle. So follow the routine (USE GIF&nbsp;11) as per your dermatologists&rsquo; advice and keep your calm!

While makeup removal wipes make life a little easy for us, they might be causing unimaginable damage to the environment and your skin.

Big fan of Makeup Removal Wipes? We'll tell you how makeup wipes are harming the environment and your skin

Makeup removing wipes are made of synthetic materials like plastic and polyester which makes them non-biodegradable. The wipes are also not very skin-friendly as they leave behind dirt and oil.&nbsp;

Big fan of Makeup Removal Wipes? Drop them now!

Makeup removing wipes are single-use towelettes&nbsp;that are soaked in cleansing solutions to quickly remove makeup, on the go! They are cheap, convenient and easily available, making them a lifesaver for all those who hate removing their waterproof lipstick or winged liner after a long day.
But, these disposable wipes are not entirely godsent, and here&rsquo;s why you need to stop using them NOW! Makeup removing wipes are made of synthetic materials like rayon and polyester and they take around 100 years to degrade completely. This is why the wipes are an absolute menace to the environment. And that's not all! These wet wipes also damage your skin by leaving behind dirt, grime, and oil, leading to clogged pores, breakouts and even irritated skin.

So, if you want to switch to something more skin-friendly, here are some sustainable alternatives to one-time use, makeup removing wipes
Micellar water: Made of cleaning compounds like purified water, glycerin, and mild surfactants, micellar water not only removes every trace of makeup but the glycerine in it also hydrates the skin.
Cleansing balm: A cleansing balm is an effective option to remove makeup, dirt and oil without drying out the skin. Just slather and massage your face with the balm and allow it to emulsify by adding a couple of drops of water on your face. Simply rinse it off after the emulsification process.&nbsp;
Cleansing oil: These are water-soluble oils that dissolve makeup and dirt off your skin. After applying the oil, just wash your face with clear water to get rid of the remnants and you&rsquo;re good to proceed with other skincare products for the night!
Reusable makeup removing pads: Crafted from organic compounds, these soft washable pads are a great alternative to disposable cotton balls. You simply need to douse them with some makeup remover and clean off your face using the same.&nbsp;

The term sulfate-free shampoo has created a lot of buzz lately, but have you ever wondered what sulfate-free actually means?


Why your hair needs sulfate-free shampoos? All you need to know 

The term sulfate-free&nbsp;shampoo has created a lot of buzz lately, but have you ever wondered what sulfate-free actually means?
Sulfate is formed when sulphuric acid reacts with other chemicals. It is considered to be a great cleaning agent but is it really good for your hair?
The primary purpose of sulfate is to produce a rich lather to help remove grime, oil, and dirt from your hair. They are aggressive detergents that may strip your hair of its natural moisture and can be extremely harsh&nbsp;on the scalp and may cause irritation.

About time! Elle drops fur from editorial content, Armani to quit angora wool

Italian luxury fashion house Armani says it will stop using angora wool, a rabbit hair product, starting from its 2022-23 winter collections.

Italian luxury fashion house Armani says it will stop using angora wool, a rabbit hair product, starting next winter.

Soon after&nbsp;Italian luxury fashion house Armani said it will stop using angora wool, Elle magazine has said that it will&nbsp;stop using fur in all its editorial and advertising content worldwide.&nbsp;
This makes the fashion&nbsp;glossy the first major publication in the world to do so.&nbsp;
For the Armani group that went fur-free in 2016, the latest ban on angora wool, a rabbit hair product, will be effective from its 2022-23 winter collections.&nbsp;

Armani's news comes around 8 years after animal rights group PETA&nbsp;exposed the harrowing conditions in 10 Angora farms in China where 90% of the world's angora is produced.&nbsp;
In recent years, many fashion brands have adopted policies against using materials that inflict cruelty upon animals.&nbsp;Apart from Armani, a slew of brands including Gucci, Valentino,&nbsp;Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Stella McCartney have also gone fur-free.&nbsp;
On the other hand, luxury group LVMH, the parent company of Dior, Fendi, Givenchy&nbsp;among others, says their stance is 'freedom of choice' for their customers and brands as Fendi&nbsp;continues to sell mink fur coats for $30,000.&nbsp;

A study found that nearly 70% of people were anxious about returning to offline activities due to embarrassment about their appearance. 

Filter, filter on the (video) call: how Zoom dysmorphia is magnifying insecurities

Staring at their face in video calls all day has made people anxious about their appearance. Here's how the funhouse mirror effect of webcams, also called Zoom dysmorphia, is taking over our life!

Filter, filter on the (video) call: who's the most deluded of them all

A study found that nearly 70% of people were anxious about returning to offline activities due to embarrassment about their appearance.&nbsp;

What started with somewhat harmless rainbow-puking unicorns and dog ears on <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/snapchat-launches-tiktok-competitor-spotlight-in-india-1615900279388">Snapchat</a>&nbsp;has now become something&nbsp;that rules&nbsp;our&nbsp;digital and&nbsp;even, physical&nbsp;lives.&nbsp;Yes, we&rsquo;re talking about selfie filters!
All fun and games!&nbsp;
Most of the younger generation has grown up around these filters. It sounds dangerous but&nbsp;filters&nbsp;initially&nbsp;were&nbsp;just&nbsp;fun&nbsp;and&nbsp;gimmicky, kind of like a virtual dress-up game.&nbsp;That was because back then, there still was a much clearer distinction between the virtual and the physical world.

<h3>Polish before publish&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
But as&nbsp;social media platforms became more and more popular, editing your pictures&nbsp;quickly became the largely accepted reality. Pictures were&nbsp;'polished&rsquo;&nbsp;on editing apps&nbsp;before posting and even our phones started coming with skin-enhancing features.
The pressure to look 'perfect' online was so strong that young&nbsp;people&nbsp;are undergoing plastic surgery to look like&nbsp;their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.editorji.com/world-news/facebook-puts-instagram-for-kids-on-hold-after-pushback-1632758031820">Instagram</a> or&nbsp;Snapchat-filtered self.

Sick of the delusional world of Instagram&nbsp;after&nbsp;just three years of its launch,&nbsp;the hashtag &lsquo;#nofilter&rsquo;&nbsp;quickly rose to fame by 2013&nbsp;and continues to be used by people even today. Although, we all know that there are plenty of no filter fakers out there.
In your face all day&nbsp;
The final nail in&nbsp;the&nbsp;filter coffin has obviously been the pandemic. From young children to the elderly,&nbsp;the infectious outbreak mandated screentime for all.&nbsp;When you talk to&nbsp;people in real life,&nbsp;you&rsquo;re not focussing on your own face&nbsp;but with video calls, you were forced to look at your face for hours every day.
A 2021 study in the&nbsp;International Journal of Women&rsquo;s Dermatology found that nearly 70% of people were anxious about returning to offline activities due to embarrassment about their appearance. The infamous &lsquo;Snapchat Dysmorphia&rsquo; that got popular in 2015 has now grown into the &lsquo;Zoom Dysmorphia.&rsquo;&nbsp;
The distortions of webcams&nbsp;
In 2020, people spent about 3 trillion hours online.&nbsp;Video conferencing platforms have added another layer to our insecurities. From the lighting, posture and camera angle&nbsp;to the quality of your webcam, front cameras can disguise your actual appearance. So, you go from looking at&nbsp;perfect&nbsp;selfies&nbsp;on social media to&nbsp;the&nbsp;highly unforgiving distorted&nbsp;visuals of a&nbsp;Zoom call.

The unflattering projections have&nbsp;given self-image issues to people who might have avoided them for years even while participating in the social media circus.&nbsp;
Virtual insecurities incarnated
A&nbsp;2020 American&nbsp;study&nbsp;in the journal Facial Plastic Surgery &amp; Aesthetic Medicine&nbsp;said that 72% of cosmetic surgeons&nbsp;witnessed a rise in patients wanting cosmetic procedures to improve their selfies.
Researchers say that&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;important for people&nbsp;to&nbsp;see&nbsp;the limitations of webcams and understand that they are, at best, a flawed representation of reality.
But these anxieties won&rsquo;t just go away when we meet&nbsp;face-to-face and it&rsquo;s&nbsp;important for everyone to be mindful of them. So, when you meet your co-worker or friend after a long time, maybe don&rsquo;t comment on their change in&nbsp;appearance?&nbsp;We&rsquo;ve all already been through enough.&nbsp;
