Watch that skin
Rainy season need not reflect on your face. Here’s your one-stop monsoon advisory

Or the situation can be worse as we tend to take extra care of our skin in summers but do the opposite in monsoons or winters. We just go on to apply any kind of moisturizer to keep skin supple or even better, don’t apply anything if not required. “That’s a wrong notion, skin requires maximum care in monsoons as it’s very humid,” says Dr Ashima Goel, a city based dermatologist. Here we talk to skin experts in the city to know what all can cause skin damage in monsoons and how we can avoid it.

SAY GOODBYE TO BAD KNEES
Weak knees are a common problem. Many of us have bad knees from too much running, high-impact aerobics and sport in general. Sometimes the problem is structural, and sometimes it’s poor technique, bad shoes or inadequate conditioning. Bad knees are bad news when it comes to staying active. And once you have damaged your knee, you’ve compromised your ability to enjoy to the fullest whatever type of physical activity you love doing. You’ve also compromised your chances of having a vital and satisfying old age.
