How To Heal Monsoon Skin Gently: Ayurvedic Fixes For Acne, Oil, And Fungal Woes
Last Updated: While monsoon increases the chances of acne, fungal infections, and other skin woes, these can be effectively treated by time-tested Ayurvedic ingredients. While the monsoon season brings welcome relief from summer's intense heat, it also creates a perfect storm for skin issues. Fungal infections, stubborn acne, and unrelenting greasiness are common skin concerns during the humid monsoon months. However, the key to maintaining healthy skin during the rainy season lies in working with nature, not against it. Ahmed, Director at Poshaan, shares an easy and effective Ayurvedic approach for navigating monsoon skincare with balance and clarity. 1. Combat Fungal Infections with Herbal Defence Increased humidity creates an ideal environment for fungal infections, especially in areas like underarms, feet, and skin folds. Relying on time-tested Ayurvedic ingredients such as neem, turmeric, and tea tree oil is the key. These natural antifungal agents help strengthen the skin's resilience and reduce irritation. 2. Soothe Acne Flare-Ups from Within 3. Keep Oil in Check Without Stripping Skin A common mistake during this season is over-cleansing. Instead of aggressive chemical face washes, opt for gentle herbal formulations with ingredients like Multani mitti, sandalwood, and tulsi. These help absorb excess oil while calming the skin. Ahmed notes that supporting liver function through Ayurvedic detox routines can also help control oil production at the source, leaving your complexion balanced and radiant. 4. Don't Forget to Hydrate Yes, it's humid, but your skin still needs hydration. Swap heavy creams for lightweight, herbal moisturisers. Sip on herbal teas infused with tulsi, liquorice, or ginger to calm internal inflammation, improve immunity, and support overall skin health. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 14:37 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Pakistan Willing To Talk To India, Awaiting New Delhi's Response': Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar
Dar said Pakistan is ready to work and cooperate with India on all fronts—from trade to counter-terrorism—as he called for 'meaningful negotiations' In what can be termed as an olive branch to India, Pakistan's deputy prime minister and foreign minister Ishaq Dar has reiterated Islamabad's willingness to engage in dialogue on a range of issues—from trade and economic cooperation to counter-terrorism. However, Dar noted that the ball is now in India's court, stating that Pakistan is still awaiting a formal response from New Delhi. Speaking during an interaction with the Atlantic Council think tank, Dar said, 'Pakistan is ready to work and cooperate with India on all fronts—from trade to counter-terrorism." He emphasised the need for 'meaningful negotiations", calling for the resumption of composite dialogue, a framework once used by both nations to address bilateral concerns including Kashmir, security, people-to-people exchanges, and economic ties. Dar's overture comes close on the heels of Operation Sindoor where India pounded nine terrorist hubs in Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack in which 26 innocent tourists were mercilessly killed in Baisaran Valley. On the issue of latest strain between India and Pakistan, Dar, who also met United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington to discuss bilateral relations, trade cooperation, regional stability, counterterrorism, and global peace initiatives, appreciated what he described as the pivotal role played by US President Donald Trump and Rubio in de-escalating tensions between the countries by facilitating a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear-armed states. The statement comes even as India has consistently maintained that the ceasefire understanding was a bilateral decision between the Indian and Pakistani military leaderships, with no third-party involvement. On the terror front, the foreign minister also seemed to shift his stance on the decision of the United States to designate The Resistance Front (TRF) as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). At an event in Washington, DC on Friday, Dar said Pakistan has 'no issue" with the US designation. However, he reiterated that linking TRF with Lashkar-e-Taiba is 'wrong". The Resistance Front—which India and the US maintain is an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)—claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 14:48 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Gajapathi Raju takes oath as Goa governor
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Panaji, July 26 (PTI) Former Union minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju was sworn in as the governor of Goa on Saturday, succeeding P S Sreedharan Pillai. Raju was administered the oath of office at Raj Bhavan by Chief Justice of Bombay High Court Alok Aradhe. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and other dignitaries attended the event. Raju, 74, said he would follow the Constitution of India while serving the people. 'We all work as a team, and I am very delighted that I am associated with Goans," he said. 'Though I don't understand the local language and this is my first assignment in this (gubernatorial) office, I have had a long innings in the political set-up. I was a seven-time legislator in Andhra Pradesh before it was bifurcated into two states," he said. Referring to his political career, Raju said he had a short tenure in Parliament. 'I have been in and out as a minister in the government and also sat in the opposition. I have wide experience," the governor added. A veteran Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader from Andhra Pradesh, Raju served as the civil aviation minister between May 27, 2014 and March 10, 2018. He has also held ministerial posts in the Andhra Pradesh government. Later, addressing reporters, Raju said he was looking forward to working with the people of Goa. 'I am looking forward to working for you, or rather, I should say 'working with you. 'For' is a mind terminology, but (I prefer to say) 'with you' because if people don't work with the government, democracy suffers. We don't want that situation. We want everyone to work unitedly," he added. He appealed to people to take India forward by working together. 'India will be second to none in the world". Pillai had completed four years in the gubernatorial position in Goa. He was accorded a farewell on Thursday.
