A quick test to determine whether your wound needs stitches is to wash the wound well and stop the bleeding, and then pinch the sides of the wound together. If the edges of the wound come together and it looks better, you may want to consider getting stitches.

FRUIT soufflés for the SKIN

Spas are going back to nature and offering all-natural, preservative-free skin food made fresh in their kitchens, and sourced locally

   
 Back in the day, spa treatments revolved around using expensive body creams from Europe, or treatments which made use of exotic ingredients from faraway places. This trend, however, is changing as spa owners realise that there are equally refreshing spa treatments they can offer their customers. Spas are now integrating farm-tospa fruits into treatments and offering massages that will ensure you the relaxation you deserve, while supporting the local farmers at the same time.
FACE DESSERT
    
Home run services, using ingredients like fruit and vegetables that have all been sourced from local farms are very much in vogue today. Natural beauty products are ideal for the skin and since they’re all made indigenously, their freshness is guaranteed.
    So, women today are undergoing skin treatments with spa products good enough to eat — for instance, papaya cleanser, mango mousse cream, honey and oat scrub and an avocado face pack. Apart from these ‘face desserts’, clay treatments and acupressure massages are also available.
OUT OF THE BOTTLE
    
“With the growing pollution we are inevitably exposed to in any Indian metropolis, our skin is becoming more and more sensitive. So why feed our skin with more synthetics out of a bottle on a daily basis?” says Diya Dembla, who is qualified from the International Dermal Institute in Boston
INDIGENOUS VERSUS INSTA-BEAUTY
    
Moreover, if the idea of wending your way through rush hour traffic to make it to a spa treatment, don’t fret. Some of these spas are now willing to come to your doorstep, where trained therapists will visit you with a spa kit including a portable massage bed, indigenous products, disposable spa attire, candle diffuser and essential oils. They collect fresh and natural ayurvedic ingredients from the all over India to provide you with Ayurvedic treatments. For instance, the apricots for the apricot body scrub are sourced directly from the farmers in Uttarakhand.
    Start your first session with a skin consultation, so your treatment is devised especially for you. You are then guided to specific treatments, depending on your problems and the results you desire. “Skin food is freshly cooked, completely natural and absolutely preservative-free. Your skin will make an instant connection,” adds Diya.
    Try a body scrub with products you can eat as dessert, that use fresh fruits like banana, apple, papaya and oatmeal. These are mixed in the spa's laboratory with other special herbs and carried in an ice box, to give you the freshest and most refreshing natural spa. Time to put the fruit where your face is.
