Skincare Tips for You and Your Besties on Friendship Day
Doing skincare with friends or simply sharing skincare tips is special in its own way. Check out these 10 essential skincare tips that will give you a flawless, radiant look this Friendship Day:
1. Cleansing: Begin your day with cleansing, an essential step to refresh your skin by washing away the overnight buildup of oils and impurities. Choosing a gentle yet effective cleanser like POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash With Vitamin B3 ensures a good cleanse without compromising your skin's natural moisture balance.
However, if you need some deep cleansing, go for POND'S Bright Miracle Detox Face Wash With 10X Power Of Charcoal. Dedicate a few minutes to this step for a fresh and radiant start to your day.
Alternatively, for a hydrating and gentle cleaning experience, try out POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gel Face Wash
2. Exfoliation: The next tip that can help in getting a radiant glow is sloughing off dead skin cells and unclogging pores. Exfoliation can do this while making your skin smooth and primed for further skincare. Use POND'S Bright Beauty Face Scrub only once or twice a week as over-exfoliation could lead to skin irritation.
3. Serum: Serums are potent elixirs, packed with concentrated active ingredients that seep into the deeper layers of your skin. Always opt for a serum that targets specific skin concerns like hydration, brightening, or anti-ageing POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Pigmentation Serum With 12% Gluta-Niacinamide infused with the goodness of Glutathione Precursor and Niacinamide can help reduce hyperpigmentation while giving you a radiant glow.
POND'S Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A Serum can give you a boost of radiance while intensely nourishing your skin with the power of three Vitamins. This tip can do wonders for your skin.
4. Hydration: Moisturising is a cardinal step to maintain skin hydration. Using a moisturiser like POND'S Super Light Gel ensures your skin stays nourished throughout the day, offering long-lasting moisture without a heavy or greasy feel.
You can also use POND'S Bright Beauty 1% VIT C+E+A Gel Creme in your morning skincare routine for that early morning vitamin boost. This can be an ideal choice if you have any day plans and don't want to miss out on your morning skincare routine.
However, if you are looking for a powerful alternative, you can always opt for POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Spot Serum Cream With Niacinamide And SPF 15 PA++ to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and sun damage.
5. Sunscreen: Sunscreen serves as your protective shield against the sun's harmful UV rays. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 35 PA+++ Creme Gel Sunscreen With Niacinamide is ideal for everyday use.
Alternatively, you can also opt for POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 50 PA+++ Creme Gel Sunscreen With Niacinamide for longer sun protection duration. Make sure to reapply every two hours for uninterrupted protection.
You can choose a sunscreen that suits your skin from a variety of sunscreens available in the POND'S Sun Miracle Sunscreen range
6. Eat Healthy: Your diet significantly impacts your skin health. Including antioxidant-rich foods like berries, nuts, and green leafy vegetables in your diet can fend off damage from free radicals, promoting skin health and a natural glow. While Friendship Day can be a cheat day for you, eating healthy every other day can easily make up for it. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a lightweight sun protection cover, you can opt for POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 50 PA+++ Sunscreen Serum With Niacinamide
7. Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water and staying hydrated can never be overemphasised. Regular water intake flushes out toxins, aids in maintaining skin moisture balance, and imparts a fresh and vibrant appearance. Also, if you are dealing with skin dryness, consider including POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Complex 2% serum in your everyday skincare regime.
8. Rest Well: After an eventful day, celebrating with your friends, ensure that you get ample sleep. Sleep allows your skin to restore and rejuvenate, reinforcing your skin's natural repair mechanisms.
