Hello my lovelies,
How's the festive season coming along for you ladies? We are loving the nip in the air :) Anyways earlier this month, we attended an informative and educational bloggers meet organised by Eau Thermale Avene for exploring sensitive skin. Read on to know all about it.
But of course before we begin, it's time for our customary, 'ready to leave' selfie!

The venue for the event was perfect...Pali Village Cafe, which has a lovely French touch. The setup was simple and uncluttered in pink and white.
At the entrance we were handed out our programme list for the evening along with a welcome drink.

Interesting fact : Did you know that over 60% of the Indian population has a sensitive skin? We neither!
Then Team Avene introduced us to the Avene Sensibox featuring the brand's latest launches in India comprising of the micellar lotion, cold cream and of course the star product, thermal spring water. We have shared the pictures of the Avene Sensibox at the end of the blog.
And last but not the least, the intervention by Mumbai-based dermatologist, Dr. Harshana Bijlani on sensitive skin and how to recognize it commenced. Following are some of the tips she shared -

- Always do a patch test for new products on areas like behind the ears or the crease of your elbow. Sometimes products take 2 day to react, so wait it out.
- In case you use peels and have very sensitive skin, make sure it's not acidic.
- Adjust your skin care products based on the weather. For instance, the products you use in summer cannot be used in winter, as you'll require something more hydrating in winters.
- During winters, go easy on cold creams as too much of it will block your pores and cause acne.
- Always remove makeup with a gentle cleanser.
- Don't just rely on sunscreen as that only prevents your skin from burning. Protect your skin from sun exposure with an umbrella, scarf or dupatta.
- With busy lives and crazy stress levels, adequate sleep is essential. Also indulge in activities to calm yourself down mentally.
- Sometimes skin problems are also related to hormones. The only way to find out is a sonography and not just a blood test.
- Never try any new product before a big day.
- Apply perfume on clothes and not your skin.
- Drink plenty of water...some people actually don't like the taste of water, even though it is tasteless, one should drink coconut water or lemonade as it is essential to keep yourself hydrated.
- Always look for the words 'dermatologically tested' on products before buying.
- Once you have applied sunscreen ideally you should re-apply it every few hours but that's not always possible. In that case, use a compact that has SPF. Compacts with SPF 15 are good enough as it's better than not applying anything at all.

Such events are really good for ladies, and this event seems so interesting too. I also attended such an informative event at venues in Chicago last year, I went there with my friend who have great interest in makeups. She also loved the event very much.
