In a confrontation with Johnson's baby grandfather Sonam Kapoor teases Anil Kapoor.

Johnson's Baby, a skincare company for babies, has released its newest TV ad, "Irresistible Cheeks," as part of the larger "Protection Pehle Din Se" campaign. The movie, which stars the father-daughter acting team of Anil and Sonam Kapoor from Bollywood, promotes Johnson's moisturizing cream.Recently, Johnson's Baby debuted its newest television commercial (TVC), which starred Sonam Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. The new commercial portrays Anil and Sonam Kapoor's lighthearted and loving bond as they transition into their on-screen personas from real life. Even a sweet tribute to Anil Kapoor's legendary performance as Mr. India in the 1987 blockbuster may be found in the commercial. According to reports, Sonam Kapoor softly bathes the infant with the Baby Soap in the opening shot of the commercial. In the role of a worried grandfather, Anil Kapoor shares his concerns regarding the baby's sensitive skin. Although the commercial undoubtedly appeals to nostalgia, fans of the actor combination are also being won over by the behind-the-scenes video. The father-daughter pair appears together on TV at one point and giggle together. Anil and Sonam are shown conversing while comfortably seated on a sofa in a different scene from the movie. An cute monochromatic photo that shows us a glimpse of them cradling the infant perfectly complements this setting. After that, the movie cuts to the performers rehearsing for upcoming scenes in the closing frames.The BTS video then comes to a lovely and humorous end when Sonam asks the infant, "Hain na Nanu budhhu?" in a teasing manner, causing the child to erupt in laughter. The video's title said, "BTS with Sonam and Anil Kapoor: Capturing the joy of family moments."Viewers praised the actors in the comments section as soon as the video was uploaded. One reader said, "Such cute father and daughter, god bless the little one too." Another individual remarked, "I just love that baby..she is too cute."

Greentech tackles the longevity of skin for ageless beauty.

Even while most nations are seeing annual increases in life expectancy, maintaining excellent health as we age without suffering from chronic or age-related disorders is the true issue facing our societies. In the world of cosmetics, the ideas of longevity and healthy life expectancy are becoming increasingly prevalent. Greentech has created Timelys®, a skin longevity booster, as its new active component in answer to this new issue.Skin Youthfulness − Skin Healthspan Centenarians are inherently linked to longevity. Studying this group reveals that they embrace straightforward, healthful lifestyles that have a big impact and live long, happy lives. These supercentenarians are also common in "blue zones" around the globe, such as the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, the Sardinian Alps, the Okinawa Islands in Japan, and Icaria in Greece. Positive attitudes, conscious eating, organic activity, and genuine connection are their four guiding principles. Slowing down physiological changes is also influenced by the individual genome, especially by longevity genes like SIRT6 and FOXO3.Skin Health: Connected Mechanisms of Skin Longevity Longevity in terms of the skin and cells is described as continuing to maintain the best possible function of skin cells over time in order to retain the kind of skin that radiates health (radiance, softness, elasticity). The longevity signaling pathways are largely influenced by the longevity genes SIRT6 and FOXO3, which are overexpressed in centenarians. SIRT6 stimulates the FOXO3 gene, which in turn stimulates the cell's autophagic and mitochondrial processes. SIRT6 also suppresses NfkB, which lowers chronic inflammation, and promotes NrF2, which prevents oxidative damage.Optimizing blood flow to the skin at the tissular level is also essential because research indicates that healthy blood circulation contributes to longevity. Keeping the microbiota in balance is another important aspect of living a longer life.These systems are interrelated and contribute significantly to the maintenance of a good barrier function and radiant, smooth, firm, and elastic skin. For instance, a radiant complexion is influenced by the equilibrium of the microbiota, autophagy, mitochondrial respiration, and antioxidant enzymes in skin cells.Through an examination of these many systems and the determination of which molecules have a favorable impact on them, Greentech created Timelys®, a new active ingredient that is concentrated in Schisandrin. Greentech is focusing on the broad family of polyphenols because they have anti-aging characteristics, particularly through their influence on age indicators. After conducting extensive research, Greentech focused on lignans, a subset of polyphenols that is less common yet has the potential to prolong life. This brought Greentech to schisandra, also referred to as "lifelong health berries" and high in schisandrin.  

Mascara tubes According to IL Cosmetics, brands need to follow the trend of eye makeup.

Tubing mascara is the newest big thing in eye makeup, according to the Luxembourg producer, who will showcase its latest developments and products at MakeUp in Paris next week.Juanita Parra, Marketing Manager for Make Up at IL Cosmetics, says, "This innovation is capturing the attention of makeup enthusiasts and influencers alike on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, thanks to its unparalleled performance and convenience." Tubing mascaras' easy removal and extended wear times have made them a huge trend in the beauty industry. They are the pinnacle of cosmetics made for today's hectic, modern lifestyle.

This film doesn't change during the day, allowing for prolonged usage without flaking or smudging. As soon as it'sA fresh batch of pure formulation IL Cosmetics cautions against a frequent misconception in the market about the characteristics of tubing mascaras, nevertheless. "Tubbing mascaras are not made to endure total immersion in water, like swimming or sauna sessions, in contrast to waterproof mascaras.

Shah Rukh Khan's heat stroke How can people over 50 stay hydrated?

Your body doesn't require as much water as it did when you were younger. According to Dr. M. Wali, Senior Consultant, Department of Internal Medicine, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, you could not feel sufficiently thirsty. Doctors warn that extended heat exposure can have negative effects on your body, regardless of your level of fitness. According to Dr. M. Wali, Senior Consultant, Department of Internal Medicine, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, "if you are over 50 and have co-morbidities like hypertension and diabetes, dehydration and extreme heat can affect you adversely."DURING A HEAT STROKE, WHAT TAKES PLACE? The heat exposure and excessive perspiration cause the body to lose fluids, raising the core body temperature. The sympathetic nervous system is triggered, putting the body in a fight-or-flight state and causing the production of stress hormones when it senses a crisis. Less water causes the blood to thicken, the blood volume to decrease, and the heart and blood vessels to work harder to pump more blood to the peripheries so that the skin can radiate heat more quickly. The body loses its ability to regulate its temperature during a heat stroke, evaporation and perspiration stop working, and the body cannot cool down. The body temperature increases when heat stroke happens. WHAT ARE THE DEHYDRATION SIGNIFICANTS? WHY AS YOU GROW OLD YOU MAY NOT FEEL IT? Pay attention to any decrease in urine flow, advises Dr. Wali. Additionally, urine might have a dark color. According to Dr. Wali, symptoms could include low blood pressure, a fast heartbeat, dry mouth, headache, fever, and dyspnea. Your body doesn't require as much water as it did when you were younger. Thus, even though your body may still require water to function, you could not feel sufficiently thirsty. You run the risk of becoming dehydrated if you don't drink enough water, he continues.WAYS TO AVOID DEHYDRATION? HOW MUCH H2O IS SUFFICIENT TO DRINK? To avoid dehydration on a hot day, people should consume four to six liters of water at the very least. Continue drinking water, fruit-infused water, or bael juice (which is the greatest at reducing heat) every hour. Even if you don't feel thirsty, you should still consume electrolyte-rich liquids to replace the salts your body loses via perspiration. Being stuck in traffic is something you cannot avoid, so always have a bottle with you. Keep in mind that cold beer dehydrates and alters the nervous system. Limit alcohol and tobacco use, advises Dr. Wali.  

In new guidelines, the ICMR recommends individuals to consume entire spices. Spices in powder form are more likely to be tampered with.

In its new instructions, ICMR advises consumers to choose whole spices instead of powdered ones, which are more likely to be contaminated. Everything you're interested in knowing.The Indian Council of Medical Research, or ICMR, has released new guidelines that advise consumers to stick to whole spices instead of powdered ones, which are more likely to be contaminated and therefore unhealthy. The ICMR provides advice on choosing healthy meals and ensuring they are free from infestation, mold, foreign matter, and artificial coloring in Guidelines 12-Consume safe and clean foods.Spices are a rich source of antioxidants and provide food flavor. They aid in the treatment of numerous illnesses. For food preparation, the ICMR suggests using caution while purchasing spices. People are advised by the medical research body to choose whole spices over powdered ones because the latter may contain adulterants."Whole spices that are consistent in color, size, and shape should be chosen over powdered spices because the latter are more prone to be tampered with. Purchase only certified goods, advises ICMR. Concerns about pesticides have recently drawn attention to MDH and Everest spice mixes. To assist Indians in making better food choices, the ICMR and the National Institute of Nutrition published 17 new dietary guidelines for Indians of all ages.How the ICMR recommends choosing safe food Food safety may be jeopardized by adulteration, chemical contamination, and microbiological contamination. Food's natural enzymes cause it to deteriorate over time as well. In addition, food is dangerous when it contains natural poisons, adulterants, insects, rodents, and different chemical residues that are present in excess of what is allowed. Furthermore, the recommendations state that the moisture content of the food as well as certain environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and storage duration affect the meal's quality.

Are vitamin E supplements beneficial for eye, skin, and hair health? A specialist offers insights

The benefits of vitamin E capsules for skin, hair, and eyes are well-known. However, what is their effectiveness? A dermatologist discusses this well-liked vitamin.The use of vitamin E to enhance the health of the skin and hair came about as a result of the ongoing hunt for the next big thing in the world of strong, healthy hair. For a long time, vitamin E supplements have been heralded as a potent treatment for a wide range of aesthetic and medical conditions, from boosting skin brightness to encouraging hair growth and strengthening eye health. With so many promises made about their advantages, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. Let's explore the science of vitamin E, its possible benefits, and any risks you should know about before adding these pills to your daily regimen for health and beauty.What is the vitamin E content? Alpha-tocopherol, another name for vitamin E, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is well-known for its potent antioxidant properties. These properties are crucial in averting free radical damage and safeguarding the body's cells. In addition to its anti-oxidant qualities, Vitamin E is crucial for preserving the health of the skin, particularly by preserving the natural lipids under the skin's surface, which, when used consistently, reduces the appearance of fine lines and delays the signs of ageing "said Dr. Madhu Chopra, MBBS, DORL, a Mumbai-based cosmetologist and managing director of Studio Aesthetique. Vitamin E's advantages for healthy skin "When you consume Vitamin E, its antioxidant qualities diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, battle oxidative stress, which is a major cause of premature ageing, and promote a more radiant and youthful skin," Dr. Madhu continued in her interview with HT Lifestyle. Moreover, vitamin E actively contributes to the creation of collagen, strengthening the protein that gives skin its structure, elasticity, and firmness and enhancing its anti-aging properties."

Bangladesh MP murder case grows two men fled the Kolkata complex carrying large bags, however the body was not recovered, according to authorities

Bangladesh MP murder mystery expands: according to police, two guys fled the Kolkata complex carrying large suitcases, but the body was not recovered. Anwarul Azim Anar, a 56-year-old Bangladeshi MP, was killed in Kolkata. Three arrests have been made in Bangladesh in connection with the case, but his body has not yet been located.West Bengal police announced on Wednesday that they have obtained proof of the murder of Bangladesh MP Md Anwarul Azim, who vanished on May 12 just a day after coming to Kolkata. They added that a Special Investigation Team has been established to locate his remains and look into the murder, and that the CID is handling the investigation.A few hours later, three people were taken into custody in Dhaka by Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan during a press conference regarding the killing of Azim, a three-term member of parliament for the ruling Awami League.Azim, according to Khan, was receiving medical care in Kolkata. "The Indian police have notified us that he was slain. Following his disappearance, the Indian police provided us with information. Three people were detained by our police as a result of that. We are working with the police in India. He was killed in a premeditated manner at a house in Kolkata," the minister declared.The Dhaka Metropolitan Police made the arrests on Wednesday. The police were informed by the suspects that the MP had been killed. The three are suspected by the authorities of traveling with Azim to India and then leaving after the murder."An SIT was established to look into the problem, and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) sent a letter to the West Bengal government asking them to look into this subject in the interim. We learned today that he had been slain. We're doing everything we can to resolve this matter. The incident is being looked into by the CID," the officer stated.Azim disappeared from an apartment in the New Town neighborhood of Kolkata, according to the police. According to investigators, he entered Kolkata on May 12 after around 2:30 pm, crossing the Gede border in the Nadia district. He first proceeded to see his friend, the gold trader Gopal Biswas, on Mondolpara Lane in Baranagar. He moved into the New Town apartment he had rented on May 13 after leaving Biswas's home. From then, he vanished from sight.Azim disappeared from an apartment in the New Town neighborhood of Kolkata, according to the police.

From bird poop facials to fire facials, these strange Chinese beauty customs will astound you.

I'll pretty much do anything to achieve attractiveness. I had to give bird poop facials a try as soon as I learned about their existence. You all already are aware of this. I'll give anything a shot. I've previously paid for a snooze as well as having my entire body washed. Oh no. Trying out all these opulent treatments is rather draining. However, someone has to do it! :)The Geisha Facial is the official term for the procedure, which is presently exclusively offered at the Shizuka New York Day Spa in NYC. I made an appointment as soon as I read about it. I was prepared to have Japanese nightingale droppings all over my face.I changed into my skivvies at the spa and wore soft slippers and a robe fit for a geisha. It was a component of the whole encounter.I was shown to a room and made up on an incredibly cozy bed. "IS THIS THE BIRD POOP?!" I exclaimed as soon as celebrity facialist Shizuka Bernstein began her session. I felt a little enthusiastic. She promised to alert me as soon as she started smearing the excrement all over my face. Shizuka informed me that although the bird feces is one of the steps in the treatment, it's not the primary component. I see, crap. I was prepared to have bird droppings all over my face for sixty minutes.That being said, the third phase in the treatment is the bird feces. Your face is first cleaned, then a clay mask is put, and last...To cover up the unpleasant smell, Shizuka first blends the bird droppings with rice bran. She then uses a brush to apply the mixture to your face, exfoliating it with a scrape.The recipe doesn't smell horrible, but it feels a touch gloopy. It had an oatmeal-like scent to it.The bird excrement is packaged as a powder. It turns out that nightingale droppings are produced in Japan, where they undergo a UV sanitization process before being ground into a powder. I picture a whole warehouse full of birds peeing into trays, and someone's duty is to go scrape it and then hand it off to be cleaned.Shizuka responds, "The bird poop actually has a natural enzyme that will cleanse the skin," when asked why she uses bird dung. It also contains guanine, which is a common ingredient in shine-producing cosmetics." A few more processes, including extraction, come after the facial portion involving the bird feces. My face felt as smooth as a baby's butt after she was finished. I believe I would repeat it.

Including a scoop of collagen every day in your routine to achieve flawless fitness and beauty? This is what to search for:

Supplementing on collagen every day can improve your appearance and level of fitness. Here are some things to consider when selecting the ideal choice:Even though collagen supplements have become more and more popular in the cosmetics and wellness industries in recent years, a sizable portion of the population is still unaware of the benefits of collagen and how it can improve one's general health. For those who don't know, collagen is the most prevalent protein in mammals, making up 30% of all the protein in our bodies and 70–80% of the protein in our skin.One-third of the proteins in the human body are made up of the stiff, fibrous protein collagen, which is primarily composed of molecules arranged in long, thin fibrils that support one another and keep our skin, joints, and connective tissues robust, elastic, and healthy. Nevertheless, our body begins to lose 1% of its collagen annually in the mid-to-late 20s and early 30s when collagen production begins to decline.A low amount of collagen in the body can cause a number of problems, including weakening blood vessels, bone and muscle weakness, and joint pain and stiffness. Dr. Shareefa Chause, a dermatologist and cosmetologist at Shareefa's Skin Care Clinic, stated in an interview with HT Lifestyle that "most importantly, insufficient collagen levels can also result in skin issues like wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and poor wound healing."The dilemma is how to choose the best collagen supplement, as collagen is crucial for general health. Experts concur that with so many options available, selecting the best collagen supplement can be overwhelming. While type 1, 2, and 3 collagen supplements are commonly mentioned, there is no proof that these types of supplements benefit different body parts; instead, this is merely a marketing gimmick.The source of collagen must be identified, as marine collagen has the highest bioavailability and guarantees 1.5 times better absorption than collagen from other sources. Experts concur that bovine collagen might be less expensive, but they also advise you to take your dietary choices and any potential sensitivities into account before choosing a collagen source.Meanwhile, because collagen supplements are invariably sourced from animal sources, vegetarians have always been at a disadvantage when it comes to collagen intake. "That is not true anymore," says Bhavesh Sheth, founder of INJA Wellness, because pure-veg collagen is now sold in India in flavors like green apple, blackcurrant, and natural. It is also gluten-free and keto-friendly collagen that is designed for fitness, wellness, and beauty.Certain types of collagen promote healthy skin, hair, and nails; others guarantee youth and inner peace; still others are intended for joint health and muscle repair. Because they are simple to use, readily absorbed by the body, and have a quicker potency than other types, experts recommend collagen supplements in powder form.Additionally, they advise that it is critical to select collagen supplements that have been approved by experts and that ensure the highest standards of quality and the greatest possible outcomes. So, in order to get that glowing beauty and fitness, are you using a scoop of collagen in your daily routine?
