International Women’s Day is celebrated every year on March 8 to acknowledge and celebrate the glory of womanhood. It recognises the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the world. However, today, as women continue to thrive in all spheres of life, taking care of their own selves often comes as the last priority.
Self-love and self-care are extremely important for the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of any human. This becomes even more important for women as they often neglect their own needs while prioritising others.
Self-love is all about accepting and loving yourself the way you are, prioritising your own needs and nurturing your mind and body. One way to do this is by practising self-care. This includes eating healthy, maintaining a skincare regimen, getting enough sleep, regular exercises and more.
Today, we’ll touch upon the role of a good skin care regimen in self-care. While skincare in itself is a vast topic, some essentials of skincare are, cleansers, toners, and moisturisers, among others. However, to give your skin that additional care and that impeccable glow, this International Women's Day, add some beauty oils and serums to your at-home skincare regimen.
Celebrate Women's Day with Beauty Oils
Beauty oils are nothing but natural, plant-based oils that are used to improve the overall health and appearance of a person’s skin. Since it’s an oil, many believed that only people with dry skin should use them. However, that isn't true. There’s an oil for every skin type and every skin concern, and this year it’s time for an International Women's Day celebration with beauty oils.
Beauty oils have a high concentration of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. These ingredients help to nourish, hydrate, repair and protect your skin from various environmental stressors. Beauty oils can benefit all skin types and concerns. So, choose one that caters to your needs and add it to your skincare routine.
Types Of Beauty Oils
There are many types of beauty oils in the market, each with their own unique benefits for the skin. Some of the most popular beauty oils are:
1. Argan Oil: This oil is a great choice for hydrating and nourishing dry, mature, or damaged skin. You can even use serums infused with it such as the Pond's Gold Beauty Serum with Golden Argan Oil & Vitamin E.
2. Jojoba Oil: An excellent moisturiser for all skin types, this oil helps to balance sebum production and reduce inflammation.
3. Tea tree Oil: This oil is perfect for those with oily, acne-prone skin as it prevents acne with its antifungal and antibacterial properties.
4. Grapeseed Oil: A natural astringent, this oil tightens your pores, leaving your skin with a mattified look.
5. Rosehip Oil: High in vitamin A and essential fatty acids, this oil helps to improve skin texture while reducing the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation.
To use facial oil, you need to take a few drops of it on your palm and massage it into your skin. You can also use the simple ”dab and press” motion to apply your chosen beauty oil. Please note that in case of essential oils, you should always mix it with a carrier oil as essential oils alone are too powerful for your skin and cause burn or severe irritation. To get the maximum benefit out of your skincare routine, use a beauty oil after the moisturiser to lock in the moisture in your skin. That’s it, you’re ready to kickstart your Women's Day celebration with beauty oils as a newly added step in your skincare routine.
Celebrate Women's Day with Serums
You can also amp up your Women's Day celebration with serum as a new addition to your skincare regimen. Face serums are lightweight, highly concentrated skincare products that are designed to penetrate your skin and give you targeted results.
Serums have various benefits. They can be used to address specific skin concerns such as dryness, signs of ageing, hyperpigmentation, acne, etc. Serums usually contain a set of active ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, and peptides, that work on these skin concerns to give you the desired results.
Types Of Serums
1. Vitamin C serums: Serums with vitamin C help brighten the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. One great choice in this type is the Pond's Vitamin C Serum which contains lemon, green papaya & pomegranate extract.
2. Retinol serums: Retinol is a form of vitamin A that helps reduce the visible signs of ageing. It may cause skin sensitivity, so it's important to use them as directed.
3. Peptide serums: Peptides boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Hyaluronic acid serums: Serums with hyaluronic acid are great for hydrating dry skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
5. Niacinamide serums: Niacinamide serums are great for oily or acne-prone skin as it reduces inflammation and regulates oil production. However, if you want more out of your serum, you can buy one with double benefits such as the Pond's Bright Beauty Spotless Glow Serum which has both Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid.
6. Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) serums: AHAs are chemical exfoliants that help to gently remove dead skin cells.
7. Beta hydroxy acid (BHA) serums: BHAs are chemical exfoliants that are great for oily or acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid is a common BHA used in serums.
If you want to elevate your Women's Day celebration with serums, choose the one that suits you and get started. Wondering how to choose a serum? First, find out which serum addresses your skin concern, check if you have any allergies, and if everything fares well, add that serum to your skincare routine. However, it is always advised to consult with your dermatologist before making any drastic skincare decisions.
