Dull skin and clogged pores are everyone’s nightmare, and with the pollution levels high in the city, there’s only more trouble in store for our skin.

Sunscreen:
The MOST important product that you need to apply every day to your skin, face, body and lips is sunscreen!

Antioxidant:
Wearing sunscreen is a MUST, however you should also be applying an antioxidant serum like Vitamin C, to prevent “free radical damage” like pollution and sunlight that makes your skin age faster.

Hydration, hydration, hydration!
