| "STAY UNDER THE UMBRELLAS "- THE CITY CELEBRITIES' MONSOON MANTRA Just around the corner is the season of monsoon. With the umbrella markets and those of raincoats and sweaters running on high profit, here is something that faces a loss- our skin.With people suffering from problems like rashes and dry skin, monsoon is set to fill the well with sadness for skin. Though a cool shower tends to bring soothing effect after the season of scorching sun,this season is known to nurture infections and allergies. At the end of the day, these uninvited guests could be caught stealing nutrition from healthy skin. With doctors advising us to use highly concentrated disinfectants to a nutritionist advising us to have only homemade food; nice it may all sound. But ,for a perfect Indian who loves bondas and pakodas, it'll hold true that mistress tongue bears great influence on our master minds. The end recipient of all the lip-smacking food, our skin, comes into picture to pays all bills. Here is what some of our celebrities had to say about keeping their skin and hair healthy, fighting all the microscopic predators. Ragini Dwivedi,model and actress "I prefer homemade face-pack and a Natural Essence wash. I also make sure I have a Lotus sunscreen on-varying from SPF 20 to SPF 50 during monsoon and summer."
