People seem fine onscreen. But imagine meeting a Frooti or a Geet in real life. You’d probable run? Yeah, me too. Films have their own deal. Characters in films have their own role to play. Either they own it, or they help the protagonists own it, carrying themselve For the love of everything, don’t lick your lips. Cracking, chapping, cosmetics, weather, sun are some of the factors that can harm the skin. The skin on the lips is thinner than any other part of the body so to maintain healthy lips. Caring for them is like caring for a toddler - be delicate but be ready for anything when things go wrong. Things that affect your lips: Lifestyle: Smoking destroys the collagen in your lips, makes the skin lose its elasticity and cell turnover. Which means chapped lips will take more time to heal. Likewise, not drinking enough water will make the lips dehydrated. Sun: Harmful rays of the sun hurt the lips, making them tanned to say the least. Not wearing sunscreen on the lips is a mistake. Picking at the skin: As nasty as it sounds, sometimes we do it when we’re stressed. Picking at the dry skin on the lips is bad for the lips. Licking the lips: It might be unconscious effort to moisturize the lips but licking the lips is as bad as picking at the skin. When the saliva evaporates, it leaves the lips even drier than before. Lip care routine: Do and don’ts that can help your lips: Do wear lip-wear with SPF: SPF containing lip-wear will saveharmful UV rayswill save your lips from the harmful sunrays. Always prefer lip balms that have SPF, even if you are indoors. Look for products with zinc or titanium rather than chemical ones. Don’t use products with alcohol: Alcohol is known for drying out the skin. Shy away from lip wear that have alcohol in their ingredient list. Do exfoliate: Exfoliating once or twice a week is crucial. Exfoliation with sugar is one of the best things out there (and so easily available) but if you prefer store brought products, looks for the ones that are paraben-free. Don’t over-exfoliate: Since the skin on the lips are thinner, go easy on the exfoliation. Do not scrub too hard as it may lead to more damage than heal. Do moisturize: Goes without saying but moisturizing will be the magnum opus of your lip care routine. Look for ingredients like beeswax, ceramides, humectant (gycerineetc), sunscreen for maximising protection and hydration. Don’t lick your lips: Keep moisturising whenever you feel your lips have gone dry. Don’t forget to remove your makeup: Long wear lip wear cause more damage. But if you cannot avid them, make sure to remove makeup as soon as possible. Drink water: Hydrating your body will hydrate your lips. to be the bystanders to the main role’s shining moment. We love those people. But then there are some who, for some reason, can be annoying. Surely, they play the leads in the films but imagining them being around us, we’d surely be annoyed. Michael Scott: Yeah, he always means well. And the character progressed really well. Yes, The Office was never the same without him. But the Michael Scott in the first few seasons was beyond annoying. Even the higher management subtly hinted on that. There, I said what I said. Bella Swan: There’s a sweet point where the vampire-obsessed new girl in school Bella Swan and her breathing through the mouth gets to you. Imagine sharing the table with a person whose utterly joylessness swoops around the entire table. Geet:Geet form Jab we Met takes home the loquacious award with her non-stop need to dispel very thought. If it sounds too hateful, it’s because that’s the way we mean it to sound. She offers sound advice, she has had her romantic ups and downs, but her cheerfulness is NOT contagious. It’s plain annoying. Ross Geller: Insecure, drab, boring, nerdy – just some of the things that describe Ross Geller. If his friends were not Chandler, Joey, his sister, his crush from high school and quirky Phoebe, who would it even be? As much celebrated as he is, he sure knows how to annoy someone by just even breathing. Chulbul Pandey: What else do you expect from a person who says stuff like “ Haramzaade se yaadaya, aajkalapkesasurjikaise hay?”. Imagine an ego maniac, obsessive person whose two facedness can ruin anyone’s day. He wakes up his brother just to ask if he is sleeping and tells him to go back to sleep. Why so annoying, bruv? Cher: Cher from Clueless is the doe-eyed elite girl clueless about love but the innocent façade slowly builds up to being annoying. Anyone else hates the way she talks? RachelFerrier: War of the Worldis not doubting a great movie. Spielberg’s visual effects in the movie? Chef’s Kiss. Rachel Burrier, a 11-year-old kid, who spends majority of the film screaming and yelling. If we’d be given an option to fight an alien tripod machines and die or run with Rachel to safety, we’d gladly take the fight.
