Beauty SOS

We have all been involved in those disastrous beauty emergencies. Youth Inc tells you about essential grooming quick-fixes that can save you from these SOS moments

I Forgot to Wear Perfume and I’M Starting to Smell!
First, wipe the sweat off from your arms and underarms (it’s dirty work, but someone’s got to do it). After that, use a scented hand cream and rub it under your arms. This remedy is as useful as it is outrageous.

Fabindia Lemon Hand Cream – Rs. 175

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAC Viva Glam – Rs. 990

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Hair is a Frizzy Mess!
Humidity, frequent hair treatments and windy auto rickshaw rides all contribute towards the deadly frizz. A few drops of ‘magical Moroccan oil’ works wonders for last minute frizz control.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Oil – Rs. 250

 

 

 

 

I Can’t Go on a Date with This Pimple
Apply toothpaste on the pimple and leave it overnight. This helps in dry ing out the pimple and shrivels it considerably. If the pimple is not completely formed yet, rub an ice cube over it.
As a last minute quick fix, use a concealer evenly on and around the affected area to reduce the redness. Follow it up with a foundation (make sure you blend it well). Another bonus trick is to wear a bright lipstick to divert attention from your blemish.

Clinique Even Better Concealer – Rs. 1600

 

 

I Have No Time to Shampoo My Hair and I’M Running Late!

Use a dry shampoo, which is like a hair spray and can add life to greasy hair. All you need to do is part your hair in separate sections and spray the shampoo on your roots. This absorbs the excess oil in your scalp and saves you time. But this is no replacement for shampooing; save it only for emergencies.

TRESemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo – Rs. 325

 

 

 

 

 

There’s an Oil Spill on My Face!
Using an astringent is a necessary beauty treatment for oily skin. However, overuse could make your skin dry and flaky so use it sparingly. Also, carry blotting paper in your bag. Quick trips to the washroom to soak the extra oil will reduce the shine on your face.

Neutrogena Clear Pore Oil-Eliminating Astringent – Rs. 300
