Riya Sen

Riya Sen's beauty, hair  and skin care regimen:

I always make it a point to remove my makeup before going to sleep. I swear by Shu uemura Skin Purifier (Japanese product), a cleansing oil that removes all traces of make-up quite effectively.  Sometimes I also use Neutrogena deep cleanser and La Mer Skin Exfoliant.

I don't have major skin problems. Even while I was a teenager, I didn't have to deal with nasty pimples, acne or spots.Now that I am in my 20's, I do give my skin a little TLC.  Sunscreen is a must or me, I never step out in the sun without La Mer sunscreen. I use Guerlain Cleansing Milk for my face and Issima Midnight Secret which is a great product !

Excessive makeup, sometimes makes me break into a rash. For that I use a  face pack of fuller's earth (multani mitti) and I swear by this face pack. I also mix sugar granules with my moisturizer (La Mer moisturizing cream) to gently exfoliate my skin. One should take Omega-3 capsules for healthy skin.

I oil my hair regularly with different oils per week. I use olive oil, almond oil, castor oil or coconut oil in turns. As for conditioners, I use John Freeda.

Riya Sen's Diet:

I'm a complete foodie and love yummy Thai dishes. My mantra is "Starvation never leads to Nirvana!". Honestly, I eat everything and though I love junk food as well, I am more into controlled eating and don't overindulge. I eat only when I'm hungry and  prefer to eat several small meals during the day. And I do drink lots of water; it cleanses my system and keeps my skin glowing.

Riya Sen's fitness regime:

I am not too obsessed with fitness. Thankfully, I've been blessed with good genes and my metabolism is such that I do not put on weight easily. However, this does not mean that I totally neglect fitness. On the contrary, I do sweat it out in the gym from time to time or whenever I binge. I also do weight bearing and stretching exercises. Besides, I also love to swim, do yoga and attend dance classes.

Riya's idea of relaxing after a hectic day:

I'm a total home-bird, quite contrary to my image of being a wild party animal.  A good night's sleep relaxes me and does a world of good to my skin and health. Reading, watching movies, yoga and cooking new diet recipes are great stress-busters for me.

 

Riya can't live without:

A  pair of jeans and a tee. I swear by them.

What does Riya prefer: Tattoo or Body piercing?

Definitely a tattoo! Piercing is way too painful... I am not ready to endure physical pain for any sort of gain.

Riya's fashion motto:

Be  yourself. Don't be a fashion victim. Wear what suits you and your age.

Riya in a nutshell:

A tough nut in a soft shell. :)

    Riya said Did you know that stress causes many problems. It causes you to feel sick and become sick. Sometimes it can even make you sicker then you would expect. There are ways to rid stress and although massage therapy and yoga are well and good, this can be more then a spiritual or even skin deep problem.

    She also said
    Maintaining a healthy diet can sometimes be difficult for a woman in the working world. With all of the fast food restaurants and virtually no time to exercise. Not to mention the level of stress. Maybe taking fresh fruit and water to work will eliminate some of the stress simply because you are changing your diet. It can happen.

    Riya said For a healthier option, try to avoid adding butter, rich sauces or lots of oil to vegetables, because this will make them much higher in fat. And don't forget that we should aim to eat at least five portions of fruit and veg each day. A portion is roughly three heaped tablespoons of vegetables. It's better to eat as wide a variety of fruit and veg as you can, because this helps you get a range of nutrients. So try out some different root vegetables today!

    Diet: A controlled diet is a must. After doing a workout, one should not end up eating 55 parathas with butter.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.

Common cold is a very common malady which affects people during monsoons. (Also see the post Beauty and body care in monsoon for a monsoon beauty regimen.) It can be caused by any one of more than 200 viruses. Normally it is confined to the nose and throat although the virus can infect the larynx and lungs. It is said that there is no particular cure for colds, they are naturally relieved within a week. Treatment is just an attempt to relieve its symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, sore-throat and congestion. Paracetamol tablets are generally taken to get relief from these symptoms.

Beating stress – some tips

It is very difficult to come across a happy, contented face in a crowd these days. Stress has become a way of life with people these days. Sure, we all need to be a little tense once in a blue moon. After all it acts as a positive force and helps us get things done. But when tension becomes a habit with us and we are unable to cope up with it, we say we are undergoing stress. Some people are simply born more tense than others. Children of over-anxious parents generally grow up to be more anxious than the others.
