Aishwarya Rai sizzles at Cannes, looks slimmer

Recently Bollywood Diva and Former Miss world  Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was under severe criticism for her post baby Figure . But she maintained a dignified silence on the matter rather than reverting back. Her 2012 Cannes appearance was highly guarded till she made her grand entry at the AmfAR Cinema against Aids gala. Dressed in Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla ensemble, Aishwarya rocked as usual. She looked slimmer and gorgeous.
 Her hair was piled to the top with a golden band around and her make-up was kept minimal. The actress who turned mother in November last year spoke about her baby Aaradhya. Asked about her baby, the actress said, "The baby`s here in Cannes, but not with me tonight, she`s doing well. I can`t complain about being busy with the baby because hectic is always being redefined in my life. It was easy to come tonight because I`m not making any films."
  Aishwarya chose to go traditional at Cannes unlike previous years. With slimmer look, she has put all the rumor into rest and looks gorgeous as ever. This is Aishwarya’s 11th consecutive Cannes visit and Ash leaves no stone unturned to live up to the expectation of her fans.
Her Cannes appearance turns skeptical and it was a big slap for those who targeted the actress for her extra flab.
Aishwarya will walk the red carpet at Cannes again in Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla designed outfit. The designer duo shares a great rapport with the Bachchans and they have given Aishwarya a graceful look blemishing all the criticisms.

1. Use Skin Friendly Natural Colours: Although holi traditionally is meant to be played with natural colours, but over the years natural colours have been replaced by synthetic colours which contain many harmful chemicals like heavy metals, acids, mercury sulphite, powdered glass etc.


All these are toxic and can result in skin allergies like itching, irritation, dryness etc.

2. Avoid Water based colours: Many water based colours have an alkaline base capable of causing severe problems. If it enters the eyes, it can pose a great danger to one's vision.


Colours in the form of paste have toxic compounds mixed in a base of engine oil or other inferior quality oil, capable of causing skin allergy, temporary blindness and much more.

3. Coat your skin with petroleum jelly: Harmful colours contacting your skin causes itching, red rashes and irritation in the area of contact, hence it is advised to apply petroleum jelly, body oil or edible oil on exposed parts, to prevent colours from coming in contact with your skin.

4. Cover maximum body part: To protect your skin during holi, wear clothes that cover maximum part of the body including your hair.

5. Post Holi skincare: If there is any rash or irritation then visit a dermatologist. Use a mild cream like Elocon or Flutivate and if it doesn't subside then visit the dermatologist.
