Winter in Bangalore: what changes

  • Winters here are mild. Keep your usual routine, but add a hydrating serum if skin feels tight in the evenings.
  • Exfoliate less often (once or twice a week). Cold, dry air plus acids equals flaking.
  • Keep using sunscreen daily. Winter sun still causes tanning and pigmentation.

Tips for your skin

  • Mild weather is forgiving, but UV is not. Wear sunscreen every day even when it is cloudy.
  • 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.
