Tips for your skin

  • In cold weather, cut exfoliation in half, switch to a cream cleanser and add an occlusive (squalane, shea) at night.
  • Patch test every new product on your jawline for 2–3 nights before using it on your whole face.
  • Budget tip: Indian D2C brands sell single-active serums for ₹300–₹700 that match premium formulas. Pay for sunscreen first.
