Lighter SPF

Lighter SPF

We cannot emphasize enough on the importance of a sunscreen, it protects your skin against free radicals, slows down ageing and keeps the pores clean. Your usual sunscreen may have high formula, which may make your skin feel heavy. Go for milder water-based formulas, which can create a protective shield on your skin, without making it greasy.

Honey Lip Scrub

Honey Lip Scrub

Your lips have no sweat glands and so they are technically incapable of creating their own moisture. Just hydrating your skin is not enough, as you'll need to slough off the dead skin cells to reveal the pink and smoother skin underneath.


How It Works
Honey is a natural humectant that works great in humid weather. Apply a thin coat, every night before going to sleep. In the morning, scrub the skin clean with a towel or brush. Follow this skin care tip for Delhi weather every day for best results!
