This technique can help you fix all your skin issues in one go
But worry not, cocktail therapy might be the answer to all your skincare problems. The word 'cocktail' here refers to the application of a combination of methods to address different skin issues. It is just like mixing a drink with different ingredients to create different and unique flavors.
Since various factors such as pollution, sun exposure, and lifestyle play a role in affecting your skin in different ways, cocktail therapy is a great technique to address all your issues at once and get the intended outcome.
Although it is not a new technique and has been around for decades, it has been getting very popular recently.
Since everyone has a different combination of different issues, the treatment is a customised skincare routine that combines several active substances to deal with different skin issues at once. However, to pinpoint certain issues, a comprehensive skin study of the person is important. Cocktail remedies are intended to provide immediate results with no or very less downtime.
Extensive breakouts, face rejuvenation, discolouration, dark circles and dryness are some of the issues that can be easily addressed using a cocktail therapy.
'A standard cocktail treatment consists of a combination of substances intended to protect and revitalize the skin. Antioxidants, vitamins and peptides are essential for preventing pollutants and UV radiation from harming the ecosystem,' said Dr Trupti D Agarwal, Consultant, Dermatology at Sir HN Reliance Hospital, Mumbai.
Hyaluronic acid and certain vitamins aids in moisture retention and combats dryness. Peptides as a component increase the synthesis of collagen and helps in diminishing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. Vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and glutathione are among the substances that lessen pigmentation.
Since a comprehensive skin study of the person is done before administering this treatment, little to no side effects will be there as long as the treatment is done in the proper way. 'To minimise side effects, it is best to administer this treatment professionally and under supervision.' said Dr Agarwal.

Beetroot blush hack: How to get instant rosy cheeks naturally
Discover the secret to achieving a natural, rosy glow with beetroot, a humble vegetable packed with skin-loving vitamins and pigments. This affordable beauty hack offers a chemical-free alternative to expensive blushes, providing an instant flush and long-term skin benefits. Learn easy methods to incorporate beetroot into your beauty routine for healthy, radiant cheeks. If you have ever scrolled through Instagram and wondered how some girls have that perfect, soft flush on their cheeks, the kind that looks like they've just stepped out of a romantic winter movie, let us let you in on a little secret. You don't need a high-end blush, a photo filter, or a post-workout glow to get that effect. You just need beetroot. Yes, that humble, deep magenta root sitting in your fridge can be your secret beauty weapon. Why beetroot? Beetroot is basically nature's own blush in a vegetable form. It's packed with a natural pigment called betalains, the same thing that gives it that intense purplish-red colour. This pigment, when applied to your skin, leaves behind the most beautiful pinkish tint, as if you've been kissed by the cold or caught blushing mid-conversation. And here's the best part, it's chemical-free, toxin-free, and full of skin-loving vitamins like Vitamin C, iron, and folate, which are great for improving skin health over time. Unlike most makeup products, beetroot doesn't just sit on your skin. Its antioxidants help improve circulation, making your cheeks naturally plumper and healthier with regular use. It's like getting makeup and skincare in one swipe. The instant rosy cheek method Okay, let's get to the good stuff, how to use beetroot for that instant glow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This new air conditioner cools down a room in just seconds News of the Discovery Undo There are a couple of ways you can go about it, depending on how much effort you want to put in. 1. The quick raw beet swipe Take a small, peeled piece of raw beetroot. Rub it lightly on the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion. Blend it with your fingers for a natural finish. This is the I-need-to-look-good-in-two-minutes method. The colour payoff is intense, so go light-handed at first. 2. Beetroot stain for everyday use Chop one beetroot and blend it into a smooth paste. Strain the juice using a muslin cloth. Pour into a small, clean container and refrigerate. Dab a little of this liquid with a cotton ball or your fingers onto your cheeks, and you have yourself a natural cheek tint that lasts for hours. This method is perfect if you want something to keep in your beauty kit and apply daily without dealing with a whole vegetable every time. 3. Beetroot and aloe vera cream blush Mix beetroot juice with aloe vera gel in a 2:1 ratio. Store in a small jar and refrigerate. This gives you a cream-based blush that's super hydrating and blends beautifully into the skin. It's especially great for dry skin days. The glow factor The first time you use beetroot, you will be amazed at how alive your face looks. It's that fresh-off-the-mountain vibe without actually going hiking (because let's be honest, most of us aren't trekking to the Himalayas just for a blush). And because it's natural, it's breathable and won't clog your pores like heavy powder blushes sometimes do. The glow isn't just from the colour, beetroot's Vitamin C helps brighten dull skin, and its iron content promotes better oxygenation in your skin cells, which means your cheeks start looking healthier from within. A few things to keep in mind Staining power: Beetroot will stain not just your cheeks but also your fingers, clothes, and sink if you're careless. So, apply it before you wear your white silk kurta. Longevity: The tint can last 4-6 hours, depending on your skin type and whether you set it with powder. If you want it to last longer, layer it - apply, let it dry, and apply again. Storage: Fresh beetroot juice can last up to a week in the fridge. If you mix it with aloe vera, you might get up to two weeks, but always check for any change in smell or colour before use. Why it beats store-bought blushes Yes, we all love blushes, but here's the thing – they can cost anywhere between ₹1,500–₹3,000 for a tiny pan. Beetroot? ₹50 from your local sabziwala. Plus, most blushes are made with synthetic dyes and fillers that can irritate sensitive skin. Beetroot is pure pigment from Mother Nature herself. And honestly, there's something satisfying about knowing your makeup is literally edible (not that you should start snacking on your cheeks mid-meeting). The rosy cheeks lifestyle If you really want to take this beetroot game to the next level, you can also incorporate it into your diet. Beetroot juice or salad can help improve blood circulation and detoxify your system, which over time gives you naturally brighter skin and, yes, that healthy flush even without applying anything. Pair that with a bit of exercise and good hydration, and your cheeks will thank you, beetroot or no beetroot. Next time you're tempted to splurge on a pricey blush or wonder how to get that dreamy, romantic flush for a date night, skip the makeup aisle and head straight to the vegetable market. Beetroot isn't just for salads, it's a tiny, affordable beauty powerhouse that can transform your look in seconds. Plus, there's a certain charm in telling people, 'Oh this blush? It's beetroot.'
