Fragrance is all about adding depth and dynamism to your look and feel! Just as we layer clothes to enhance our ensemble, layering perfume can add a dimension to our fragrance game. Layering scents also helps extend the longevity and throw of any fragrance you are wearing! See how you can smell good all day. 

How to layer scents:

Body Wash/Body Soap/Shower Gel
Your fragrance journey starts way before your perfume. Start scenting your body with your fragrances’ body wash, soap, gel, and shampoo! Not only are you eliminating any unwanted scents from your body, but you are also replacing it with your favourite scents- giving 2-in-1 a new meaning!

Shampoo
For better or for worse, hair is an excellent carrier for scents. Yes- there are even perfume-based shampoo for the fragrance-forward! When it’s time to wash off all the scents your hair catches throughout the day, try giving it a wash with your fragranced shampoo.

Body Crème/ Body Lotion
Body creams and lotions not only provide a scent themselves, but also help your fragrance wear on your skin much longer. Why not hydrate and scent at the same time?

Hair and Body Mist
Hair Mists help prevent dryness or frizz that some perfume ingredients can cause when spraying your hair with your favourite fragrance. They are specially formulated for hair and will not weigh it down or leave it feeling greasy. Read about Hair Mists for more details. 

Shimmering Body Mist
Shimmering Body Mists are meant to not only add an extra layer to accentuate your fragrance but to also give your skin a soft glow that matches the tone of your fragrance.

Deodorant
Matching your deodorant to your fragrance is not only a big layering step, but it also helps prevent clashing scents as deodorants typically have a very strong aroma of their own. Plus, warmer areas of the body such as the underarms warm up scents allowing for a farther throw. Why not add this to your arsenal of your fragrance wardrobe?

Keep your skin looking fresh and healthy with these useful tips!

Skin conditions like acne, oily skin, redness and dullness become common in this season. Here’s how you can cope up with this weather and keep your skin looking fresh and healthy in the humid weather.

Cleanse and exfoliate
Choose the cleanser that suits your skin type to get the best results. Try to use ingredients like rose for combination skin type, papaya for dry skin and neem for oily skin type. The weather can worsen acne-prone skin, as it can cause more flare-ups. So, make sure you cleanse your face twice a day to get rid of all impurities. Along with cleansing, indulge in weekly exfoliation sessions; this will help to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, which makes skin look dull.

Acne care for oily skin
The hot temperature increases the sebum production as we sweat, which can lead to bumps and acne. For acne-prone and oily skin types, look for ingredients that help control acne. Ingredients like witch hazel, eucalyptus, salicylic acid and Aloe Vera can help control excess oil production and prevent acne.

Mask it up
The best way to detoxify your skin is to use a face mask weekly and purify your skin. As the hot weather can be a lot for the skin, the best way to deeply cleanse is with a peel-off mask. Try Planet Spa Peel-off Mask, which is infused with Korean Charcoal. The gentle formula draws out all dirt and impurities, leaving skin fresh and cleansed.


Keep it light
As skin tends to get greasy and sticky, it’s best to avoid heavy creams and make-up. If your skin easily gets oily, avoid thick creams and foundations. Instead, use lightweight BB or CC creams, which hydrate and offer medium coverage. Also, keep a refreshing face mist handy while stepping out. Look for refreshing ingredients like rose and lavender and spray it between to keep skin cool.

Is cold water good for washing your face?

Know the right temperature of water to wash your face!

Did you know that one of the most significant factors in ensuring that your skin stays healthy and radiant is the temperature of the water and how frequently you wash your face with it?

If you are obsessed with skincare just like us, then you must already be aware of this interesting fact. 

Yes, this is true. Choosing the type of water i.e., hot or cold water and how often you wash while starting your morning routine with a gentle face cleanser, plays an important role in face washing. This is not only concerned with managing your skin’s pH balance but also your skin’s overall health. 

Read on to find out more about the ideal temperature for face washing and how it can influence your skin’s appearance.

How is your skin affected by hot water?

Washing your body with hot running water might feel like a great way to relax your skin, but in reality, it does the opposite. How? It can strip the natural oils off your face and cause the skin to dry out. These natural oils are essential as it protects your skin from harmful external factors.

Furthermore, if you have an oily skin type, it can make your skin extremely shiny and clog your pores by making your body produce an excess amount of oil.

How is your skin affected by cold water?

Using cold water can work wonders for your skin as it can help in making it more youthful and radiant. Cold water works just like a face toner or astringent, which helps in maintaining the pH balance, tightening the pores, reducing the early morning puffiness, and eliminating toxins from our skin.

However, it is not advisable to wash your face with solely cold water. We believe cold to lukewarm and vice-versa, including water temperatures, is vital for a robust skin-care routine.

What is the right water temperature for face washing?

Here comes the question of whether you should cleanse your face with either hot water or cold water. Fret no more. When we talk about healthy face washing temperature, lukewarm water is perfect for your skin. It not only ensures that your face cleanser is working effectively for removing impurities but also helps to protect your skin’s natural oils.

Although you might feel like your water temperature, it’s best to use lukewarm water whenever possible for the best skin results.

Now, you might be aware of the benefits of lukewarm water for your skin, you would be wondering what kind of face cleanser to use. We at Avon understand all your concerns. Therefore, we have curated a list of our favourite Avon cleansers, why we adore them and how they might work for your skin type.

Dry skin

For dry skin, you can try our Avon True Nutraeffects Hydra Boost Cleanser. This plant-powered face cleanser is ideal for restoring your skin’s moisture without leaving the skin too dry.

Sensitive skin

Infused with the goodness of rose and pearl extracts, this gentle and nourishing cleanser gives your skin a supple and soft look without irritating it.

Acne-prone skin

Do you have acne-prone skin? Now, stop the acne breakouts with our Avon Naturals Green Tea & Tea Tree Oil Cleanser. It not only hydrates your skin but also unclogs the pores effectively to avoid excess sebum production leading to acne.

When beginning a skincare routine, achieving spotless skin is the utmost priority. Proper hydration, the right water temperature and top-quality skin care products can keep your skin glowing and healthy for a long time.
