Sun Allergy? Here’s how to control it!

on

Sun Allergy or Photosensitivity (the medical term is Polymorphous Light Eruption) is our immune system’s reaction to sunlight. This allergy causes an itchy rash or hives that appear on any skin that has been exposed to the sun even for just a few minutes. This condition can also be triggered by exposure to artificial ultraviolet rays. That itchy or burning rash appears within hours or up to 2 to 3 days after exposure to sunlight and lasts for up to 2 weeks. But it heals without scarring. The rash can appear on the head, neck, chest, and arms as these are the parts that are usually exposed to the sun. The face is not always affected.

Sun Protection for your Hair

We all know that we need to wear sunscreen every day even if it is cloudy and rainy outside to protect our skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. But do you know UV rays may also be secretly damaging your hair? If you have dull, dry, and brittle hair, ultraviolet rays may be the culprit. Just like SPF for your face, you should use sun protection for hair too. Using SPF specifically for hair will bring back life to those tresses in no time.

Commodity Fragrances | MILK+ Eau de Parfum

on

Scent Space is essentially control over the projection and intensity of a fragrance. That means you can now decide if you want a certain fragrance to have a closed bubble or stay in your personal space or have a decent projection with an expressive scent. You may even choose your scent to fill the room with bold fragrance. Every fragrance from Commodity comes in three different scent spaces which I think is really cool and robust. It really distinguishes this contemporary fragrance house from any other brand in the industry. Fragrances in the Personal Scent space will sit close to the skin. Fragrances in the Expressive scent space are balanced in terms of projection and longevity while fragrances from the Bold scent space will make a statement.

Keeping your skin hydrated and your skincare routines fairly simple is essential if you have sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is reactive and is prone to inflammation, itching, and redness.
