What is unique about the newly-introduced hydra facial? Read on
“Every single step — cleanse, extract, and hydrate — is patented and will be executed like clock-work,” assures Dr Janani Adityan, a certified dermatologist and founder of The Thol dermatological care. I have just agreed to try out the basic hydra facial as it promises to tackle hydration, discolouration, acne, and uneven skin texture “It’s a medically designed facial that is done by a doctor,” she adds and begins deep cleansing on my face with a vacuum-like hydro peel tip that cleanses the pores as well as hydrates the skin with botanical serums. It basically acts like a mini vacuum on my skin. “It’s called vortex-fusion technology. The vortex effect breaks apart and removes blackheads, whiteheads and sebum, allowing for quick and painless extractions. It releases a mild glycolic/salicylic acid blend that helps clear up acne spots,” explains Janani.

How do you create a Christmas tree with crochet? Take notes from crochet artist Sheena Pereira, who co-founded Goa-based Crochet Collective with crocheter Sharmila Majumdar in 2025. Their artwork takes centre stage at the Where We Gather exhibit, which is part of Festivals of Goa, an ongoing exhibition hosted by the Museum of Goa. The collective’s multi-hued, 18-foot crochet Christmas tree has been put together by 25 women from across the State. “I’ve always thought of doing an installation with crochet. So, we thought of doing something throughout the year that would culminate at the year end; something that would resonate with Christmas message — peace, hope, joy, love,” explains Sheena.
