POND'S Pimple Clear Face Wash, Clears Pimple in 3 Days, (100gm)

You must have seen countless videos of skin experts passionately recommending certain skincare products or talking about ingredients mentioned in skincare products. If you have often found yourself getting confused with strange ingredient names or pausing the video wondering what is the fuss all about, then you are not alone! Ingredients create all the difference, making winter creams truly effective and efficient to combat winter dryness and help maintain glowing skin that you just cannot get enough of! Here is the list of skin ingredients that you should look for in winter creams and gels so that your skin stays hydrated, well-nourished, and moisturised throughout the chilling winter day. Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most powerful, naturally occurring molecules found in the human body. As a humectant in nature, this ingredient has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent hydrating agent to prevent moisture loss. Due to its lightweight and quick-absorbing consistency, this ingredient works absolutely well with most Indian skin types such as dry, oily, and combination skin types. In addition to this, Hyaluronic Acid can easily be combined with most skincare ingredients to help enhance the efficacy and usability of the product. Choosing winter cream enriched with Hyaluronic Acid like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Night Gel offers you overnight deep hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and plumps your skin for up to 72 hours after a single application. Use it daily to get that soft, supple, and healthy glow every time you wake up in the morning. Glycerin Often overshadowed by popular skincare ingredients, Glycerin is a game-changing skincare ingredient that should definitely be a part of your winter skincare routine. As a humectant in nature, Glycerin helps draw in moisture and water from the environment and hold it for a long time, preventing your skin from drying effects of cold winds and indoor heating. This ingredient also plays a significant role in repairing the natural barrier of your skin. This gentle and non-irritant nourishing skin ingredient works best with Vitamin E in offering intense hydration and nourishment to your skin. This winter season, use POND'S Fresh Glow Light Moisturiser With Vitamin E to enjoy 24 hours of hydration that leaves no greasy residue and is suitable for all skin types. Use it daily twice to keep skin concerns like dryness, flaky skin, and more at bay. Vitamin E The winter season is not just about dryness; it is also the time when your skin needs a boost of antioxidants to fight oxidative stress and environmental stressors. This is where nourishing and replenishing skin ingredients like Vitamin E get into the picture. Vitamin E alone has the ability to strengthen the skin barrier, prevent moisture loss, and combat free radicals when used in the form of a moisturising cream. When combined with Vitamin C and Vitamin A in the form of a cream, this ingredient works as a skin brightening and nourishing product which is suitable for every skin type and everyday use. If you are looking to incorporate Vitamins into your everyday skincare routine, POND'S Bright Beauty 1% VIT C+E+A Gel Crème is an excellent go-to option. Niacinamide Niacinamide has rightfully earned its place as a powerful skincare ingredient with a host of skin-beneficial properties to offer. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a go-to ingredient for addressing a wide range of skin concerns. Not only that, Niacinamide is also a popular choice among skin specialists due to its lightweight and quick-absorbing properties and its ability to be easily combined with most active ingredients. When combined with Glutathione Precursor, Niacinamide works flawlessly well in fighting pigmentation, and dark spots, and brightening your skin after every use. Meet POND'S Bright Beauty Gel Crème With Glutaboost Niacinamide, a power-packed gel crème formula that reduces dark spots, brightens your skin, and offers deep moisturisation after every use. However, if you are looking for a daytime moisturiser that brightens and protects your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, opt for POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Spot Serum Cream With Niacinamide and SPF PA++ in your daytime skincare routine. L-Glutamic Acid A naturally occurring amino acid, L-Glutamic Acid aids in hydrating and conditioning the skin. This ingredient can be an excellent addition to your winter skincare routine as it helps maintain the overall health and hydration levels of your skin. Choosing a moisturiser infused with the goodness of L-Glutamic Acid helps in retaining moisture, strengthens the skin barrier, and balances the pH levels of your skin. Conclusion These were some of the most powerful, nourishing, and intensely hydrating skincare ingredients that you must look for while selecting a moisturiser for your skin type and winter needs. Hopefully, this article helped you understand the nature and purpose of all these ingredients and why they are the popular choices in the skincare industry. So, revamp your skincare routine with POND'S Hydrating Moisturisers and don't let the winter chills stop your skin from glowing and radiating every day, throughout the season.

Let's be honest; we all have skipped applying a moisturiser at some points, the reason being that it makes your skin appear oily, leads to frequent break-out issues, and whatnot! But, what if we tell you that moisturisers were actually never meant to feel oily, greasy, or result in unwanted break-outs in your skin? Then, why does it feel this way and why does our skin react strangely to moisturisers at times? The answer is simple; you are probably using moisturisers that just don't suit well with your unique skin type and needs. It is the ingredients that make your skin react in a strange way and not the moisturiser. In this article, we'll uncover the truth behind the top five moisturising myths and guide you towards better skin health and flawless appearance. Myth 1: Oily Skin Doesn't Need Moisturiser We know, and we have heard it many times that oily skin doesn't need moisturiser as it produces enough oil to keep the skin hydrated throughout. Trust us when we say that this is one of the biggest myths you will ever come across. Irrespective of the skin type, a moisturiser is a must to keep your skin hydrated, well-balanced, and glowing all day long. When oily skin doesn't receive enough moisturisation, it produces more sebum in order to compensate for the moisture loss, hence, making your skin appear more oily and greasy. Using a lightweight, quick-absorbing, and oil-free moisturiser like POND'S Super Light Gel-Oil Free Moisturiser with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E can keep your skin well moisturised, hydrated, and balanced throughout the day. Additionally, this moisturiser provides 24 hours of moisture lock without making your skin feel too greasy or clogging your pores. Myth 2: Drinking Water Is Enough for Skin Hydration Without a doubt, drinking enough water is essential to maintain the overall health of your body and skin. But, sadly drinking water does not offer any direct benefits to your skin. To address surface-level problems, you would need topical care to restore the lost moisture and hydration properties in your skin. To ensure your body stays well-hydrated and nourished all year around, use POND'S Hydra Miracle Hyaluronic Acid Gel Body Lotion right after getting out of your relaxing shower. Take a few pumps, spread it all over your skin, and enjoy plumped, soft, and supple skin. Myth 3: Thick Creams Are Better for Dry Skin Another common myth that you must have come across is that thick creams work best for people with dry skin. Well, dry skin does lack adequate sebum production, but layering your skin with thick moisturiser can do more harm to your skin than good such as break-outs, clogging of pores, and other related issues. Rather you can opt for gel-based or gel crème moisturiser like POND'S Bright Beauty Gel Crème With Glutaboost Niacinamide Complex which offers the benefits of a cream moisturiser in gel consistency. This gel crème moisturiser helps fade dark spots, brighten your skin, and help restore moisture levels in your skin. Apply it twice daily to notice significant changes in your skin. Myth 4: Moisturising Once a Day Is Sufficient Ideally, moisturising your skin just once a day is not sufficient to keep your skin well-nourished and hydrated throughout the day. Moisture levels in your skin keep fluctuating throughout the day due to environmental factors, cleansing routines, and even due to makeup application. You should incorporate moisturiser both in your morning and night skincare routine to ensure your skin gets adequate moisturising and hydration properties. Invest in hydrating night gel moisturisers like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Night Gel for 72 hours of moisture lock. This way you will always wake up with plump, soft, supple, and hydrated skin that glows all day long. Myth 5: Natural Oils Can Replace Moisturisers Absolutely not! Natural oils cannot replace moisturisers because they both serve different purposes. Natural oils help seal in moisture, rather than restoring the lost moisture properties in your skin. When used incorrectly, these oils can result in unwanted skin concerns like acne, breakouts, and more. On the other hand, moisturisers help increase moisture levels in your skin without clogging pores or resulting in sudden breakouts. Therefore, you cannot use natural oils as an alternative to moisturisers in order to increase hydration levels in your skin. If your skin is already dehydrated, consider including a broad-spectrum sunscreen body lotion like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 30 PA+++ Sunscreen Body Lotion to hydrate and protect your skin from the harmful side effects of UV rays at the same time. Apply a few pumps of this body lotion on freshly washed skin, and you are all set to walk out of your house with optimum sun protection and care. Conclusion It is easy to get influenced and start believing skincare myths that have been spread across for decades. Hence, it is important to always do research from your end, conduct patch tests, and trust skin experts to choose the right and most effective skin products for your unique skin type and concerns. Don't let the myths stop you from giving the right care and nourishment to your skin! Choose POND'S Moisturiser today and revolutionise your skincare games!

Looking for the best winter skincare products to beat the effects of cold? Or perhaps, you are just simply unaware of the right winter skin care approach to tackle cold days? Whatever the reason be, we have got your back! Winter season calls for warm blankets, woolen clothes, hot chocolate drinks, and of course hydrating skincare essentials that help keep your skin's hydration in check while maintaining that healthy, flawless winter glow. Well, to achieve your desired skincare goals, you don't have to worry about keeping a stalk of different skincare products. Adding a few ones or replacing your existing products with more hydrating ones will take you a long way in tackling cold, chilling days during this season. How to choose the best winter skincare products? Before we dig deep, it is vital to know how one can choose the best winter skincare products in a hassle-free way. First, ensure to know your skin type. This will help you choose products that get easily absorbed into your skin without clogging pores or resulting in unwanted breakouts. For oily and combination skin types, gel-based and oil-free moisturisers like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturiser With Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E work the best. For individuals with dry and normal skin, cream-based moisturisers containing key ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Niacinamide stand out to be the best available options. Also, always remember to conduct a patch test before directly applying the products to your delicate skin. Now, let us look at the top 5 skincare essentials you must have in your daily winter care routine. Cleanser: You might not feel like cleansing your skin often during winter days, but it is essential to maintain the glow and healthy appearance of your skin. Start your routine by giving your skin a fresh start, using POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash With Vitamin B3. Splash lukewarm water on your face and neck and squeeze a small amount of this product on your palm. Rub your palms gently to create lather and massage your skin for a minute. Wash off the facewash using lukewarm water and pat dry your skin with a soft cloth. Serum: While cleansing your skin gives you a clean base, layering it with a hydrating and nourishing face serum helps strengthen your skin barrier. This winter season, give your skin a boost of vitamins and nourishment using face serums like POND'S Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A face serum that goes deep into your skin for brighter, soft, healthier, and beautiful-looking skin. Apply a few drops of this serum on your clean skin and use your fingertips to spread and massage it in your skin. Let the serum settle in your skin for a few minutes. Moisturise: No matter how cosy and comforting the winter season may feel, it can be quite harsh on your delicate skin. The only way to tackle winter woes is by ensuring not to skip your moisturiser in your skincare routine. Look for a lightweight, quick-absorbing, and intensely hydrating moisturiser like POND'S Fresh Glow Moisturiser with Vitamin E + Glycerin. This moisturiser suits all skin types and can be used all around the year. Scoop out a small amount of this moisturiser and apply it evenly all across your face and neck. Use your fingers to massage the product and let it settle on your skin. Sunscreen: Sun is out 365 days of the year and so are the harmful UV rays. You might think cloudy days give you an excuse to skip sunscreen, but that is not how it works. UV rays can easily penetrate through clouds and reach out to the deepest layers of your skin. So, always wrap up your skincare routine by applying a good layer of broad-spectrum sunscreen like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 50 PA+++ Crème Gel Sunscreen on your face and neck. For better results, apply the sunscreen at least 15 to 20 minutes before walking out in the sun. This will allow the sunscreen to settle in your skin while brightening and protecting your skin from unforgiving harmful UVA and UVB rays. Body Lotion: Taking care of the rest of your body is as important as taking care of your face. While it may not be required to apply a layer of different products on your body, choosing the right hydrating and nourishing body lotion is a must. Look for body lotions with active ingredients and SPF that hydrate and protect your skin in one application, like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 30 PA+++ Sunscreen Body Lotion with Niacinamide. After taking a relaxing shower, apply this body lotion all over your body and spread it evenly using your palms. And, that is all it takes to achieve plump, supple, and radiating skin throughout the chilling winter season. Conclusion Winter skincare is all about choosing the skincare essentials that work in hydrating, nourishing, and protecting your skin from unforgiving winter woes that take away the charm and radiant shine away from your skin. POND'S Winter Skincare Range is meticulously formulated to moisturise, nourish, and replenish every Indian skin type, so that you don't have to worry about buying different products just to achieve the perfect skincare goals.

If yes, then don't worry, you are not alone. This primarily happens because you are using ineffective skin care products that just don't sit right with your skin type and hydration needs. When selecting winter care essentials, you should choose products that not only suit your skin type but are also long-lasting, hydrating, and nourishing to your skin. In this detailed article, we will take you through everything you need to know about winter essential skincareroutine and how you can choose the best products for your uniqueskin typeand needs. So, read on till the end!   Understanding Winter Skin Challenges The arrival of the winter season brings a host of skin challenges for most Indian skin types. Identifying these issues is the first step in building an effective and nourishing skincare routine for yourself. Here are some prominent skin challenges that you may face during the unforgiving winter season: 1. Skin dryness: This goes without saying that dryness is one of the most common skin concerns that most of us face. Cold weather and reduced humidity can strip away the natural moisture from your skin, leaving it dry, parched, and irritated. Applying a good layer of moisturiser can help keep your skin hydrated and well-moisturised this winter season. 2. Dull complexion and sensitivity: Without adequate moisturisation and hydration, it is quite common for your skin to lose natural shine and radiance. Using hydration and lightweight moisturisers like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturiser with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E you can easily restore the lost moisture and radiance in your skin. For effective results, use it twice a day after washing your skin with a gentle face cleanser.   The Importance of Brightening Skincare in Winter 1. Enhanced skin appearance: It is quite easy for your skin to lose natural oils and moisture once the temperature outdoors drops. This can make your skin look dull, dehydrated, and undernourished. Incorporating skin brightening and nourishing face serums like POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum 12% Gluta-Niacinamide Complex can help bring back the lost shine and vibrancy to your skin. 2. More radiant-looking skin: Winter can also be the time when your skin starts experiencing different unwanted changes like the occurrence of dark spots, pigmentation, dryness, and blemishes. To treat all these skin concerns, you will need skincare essentials that are packed with powerful active ingredients like Niacinamide, Glutathione Precursor, and Hyaluronic Acid that help restore the lost shine and fight unwanted skin concerns. 3. Collagen boost: Brightening face creams like POND'S Bright Beauty Gel Crème With Glutaboost Niacinamide Complex help stimulate collagen production, by improving elasticity, strengthening the skin barrier, and keeping your skin hydrated for long hours. 4. Strengthening of the skin barrier: The secret to brighter and glowing-looking skin lies behind the efficient functioning of your skin barrier. Skin-brightening skincare products with ingredients like Niacinamide, Vitamin E, and Hyaluronic Acid help boost the functioning of your skin barrier and make it more resilient to environmental stressors.   Key Ingredients for Glowing Winter Skin 1. Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acid, a potent humectant, is a powerhouse of all winter skincare ingredients out there. This humectant has the ability to attract and hold up to 1000 times in weight in water, preventing moisture loss in your skin. A daily application of Hyaluronic Acid face serum like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Complex 2% serum is enough to give your skin a much-needed boost of hydration and care throughout the season. 2. Niacinamide: Niacinamide is a popular skincare ingredient for restoring radiance and shine on your skin. However, not many are aware that including this ingredient in your winter skincare routine can make a huge difference in the overall appearance and shine of your skin. Niacinamide offers a host of benefits such as improving collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity, and brightening your skin tone. 3. Vitamin E: When it comes to achieving radiant and flawless-looking skin, Vitamin E can be an excellent addition to your skincare routine. This antioxidant helps strengthen the skin barrier, prevent moisture loss, and combat free radical damage in your skin. 4. Glycerin: Lastly, glycerin is one of the most overlooked skincare ingredients due to various reasons. Glycerin is a humectant by nature that attracts water from the environment and helps prevent moisture loss in your skin. The addition of this ingredient enhances the effectiveness of a skincare product, boosts hydration in skin, and softens rough and dry patches on your skin.   Must-Have Bright Beauty Essentials 1. Hydrating Face Serums: Hydrating face serum is your winter glow secret. A hydrating face serum with Hyaluronic Acid works in increasing moisture levels in your skin, strengthening the skin barrier, and giving a plump lift to your skin. If simply put, a hydrating face serum is a non-negotiable skincare essential in your winter skincare routine. 2. Moisturisers: Your skincare routine is just incomplete without an intense hydrating and nourishing skin moisturiser. Opt for a quick-absorbing and non-comedogenic moisturiser that hydrates and nourishes your skin without clogging pores and leaving a greasy residue behind. 3. Night cream: During the winter season, your skin needs extra care and attention to restore all the lost moisture and hydration levels. Including a night moisturiser like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Night Gel will give your skin an overnight boost of hydration leaving your skin plumped, soft, and supple. 4. Sunscreen: Lastly, don't step out of your house without layering your skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 50 PA+++ Crème Gel Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid to keep your skin protected from the after-effects of harmful UV rays and sun damage.   Conclusion Achieving glowing skin in winter isn't about battling the season, but is rather about working with it! This can be done by choosing the right skin care products that work well with your skin type and help maintain the radiant complexion of your skin, no matter how low the temperature drops! Let's embrace this lovely shift in weather with POND'S Winter Skincare Range and achieve glowing and radiant skin like never before!

If you are someone who is often overwhelmed by the idea of using various skin care products or don't want to spend thousands of rupees to achieve flawless-looking skin, here's a little secret, you only need one game-changer product which is a highly-concentrated face serum. Formulated to fight targeted skin concerns, a face serum offers a host of skin-beneficial properties from reducing dark spots, pigmentation, and blemishes to repairing skin damage and bringing out the best and most radiant version of your skin. Unlike traditional creams or face oils, the POND'S nourishing and skin-replenishing face serums do not get settled on the surface of your skin but rather go deeper into your skin to treat various skin concerns from within. But, before we discover the benefits of using POND'S face serums for pigmentation, dark spots, and other issues, let us first understand why and how these skin concerns occur even in the first place. Understanding Dark Spots, Pigmentation, and Blemishes 1. Dark spots: Dark spots on the skin are one of the most common skin problems faced by Indians. They occur due to various reasons such as excessive sun exposure, ageing, and overproduction of melanin. These spots can vary in size and intensity but are usually treated using the right topical skincare products. Face serums packed with the goodness of different vitamins like POND's Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A Serum are formulated to tackle skin concerns like a dark spot and acne marks. Enriched with powerful vitamins, this serum not only helps fade blemishes but also rejuvenates and brightens your skin, leaving it radiant with every use. 2. Pigmentation: Dark spots or patches appear on your skin due to the overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for our skin's natural colour. This is known as hyperpigmentation. To treat skin pigmentation issues, opt for face serums infused with Glutathione Precursor and Niacinamide which help inhibit melanin production and reduce the further occurrence of skin pigmentation. Try out POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum With 12% Gluta-Niacinamide that goes 10 layers deep and is meticulously formulated to fight pigmentation and enhance the natural shine and brightness of your skin. Use this serum twice a day, regularly to notice visible differences in your skin in just a few days. 3. Blemishes: Blemishes refer to any type of marks, spots, or discolouration on your skin caused by a variety of factors. While most skin blemishes are harmless and can be treated using targeted power-packed face serums like POND'S 12% VIT C+E+A, it is essential to use them consistently, every day. To get glowing and blemish-free skin, apply it right after cleansing your face with a gentle and effective face cleanser. However, for skin blemishes that look unusual or don't go away that easily, it is recommended to visit a skin specialist and get them treated accordingly. Benefits of Using Pond's Brightening Serums 1. Brighter-looking skin: Packed with powerful, skin-friendly, and enriching ingredients such as Niacinamide, Glutathione Precursor, Vitamins, and Hyaluronic Acid, POND'S face serums are meticulously formulated to treat various skin concerns like dark spots, pigmentation, and blemishes that take away the natural shine and brightness from your skin. These face serums glide effortlessly into your skin, without clogging pores or leaving greasy residue. Due to their lightweight and quick-absorbing consistency, POND'S face serums work well with most skin types, enhancing your skin's natural glow. 2. Reduced pigmentation and dark spots: Skin concerns like dark spots and pigmentation can be quite stubborn and don't go away easily unless treated with the right approach and skincare products such as high-concentrated face serums and creams. POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum contains 12% Gluta-Niacinamide Complex that works like magic, fading stubborn dark spots, pigmentation, and blemishes on your skin. With consistent use twice daily, you will notice visible improvements, unveiling clearer, more radiant skin in just a few weeks. 3. Enhanced skin texture: Dark spots, acne scars, pigmentation, and all those imperfections on your face affect the overall appearance and smooth texture of your skin. POND'S face serums travel 10 layers deep into your skin, soothing your skin, improving the texture and keeping all the potential skin problems at bay. For better results, apply a layer of POND'S Bright Beauty Gel Creme after POND'S serum to lock in moisture and achieve a beautifully radiant skin tone. 4. Skin replenishment: With daily sun exposure, hectic lifestyle, and inadequate skin care practices, your skin's natural replenishment process slows down. POND'S Bright Beauty face serum helps renew and replenish your skin by providing protection against sun damage and strengthening the skin barrier, allowing your skin to stay healthy and radiant throughout the day. Incorporating Pond's Serums into Your Beauty Regimen Step 1: Start fresh by cleansing your skin with POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash, using lukewarm water. Massage the face wash on your skin for a minute and wash it off using lukewarm water. Step 2: Pat dry your skin with a soft cloth and apply a few drops of POND'S Face Serum of your choice. Use your fingertips to evenly spread the serum on your face and neck. Allow the product to settle down on your skin for a few minutes. Step 3: Dab a small amount of POND'S moisturiser of your choice and apply it in dots all over your face and neck. Spread the moisturiser using your fingers to lock in moisture and boost the hydration levels in your skin. Step 4: If you plan to head out in the sun, don't forget to wrap up the skincare routine with POND'S Sun Miracle Sunscreen to achieve optimum sun protection. Conclusion The secret to beautiful-looking skin often lies behind the ingredients that work on your skin, rather than the number of products you layer your skin with. A high concentration of active ingredients in the form of a face serum is all you need to treat and bid adieu to your skincare problems and embrace more radiant and youthful-looking skin in just a few days. POND'S Face Serums are formulated with revolutionary active ingredients that nurture, brighten, and transform your skin into a radiant, glowing, and absolutely flawless appearance.

We Indians have long been suffering from uneven skin tone, dark spots, and dark patches often termed as skin pigmentation. Skin pigmentation is extremely common among Indians and is primarily influenced by the presence or absence of a pigment called Melanin. Well, not many are aware of the fact that the root cause of pigmentation lies deep within our skin and can only be treated using targeted face serums and creams. So, how and when do we start using anti-pigmentation skincare products? That is exactly why we are here, to help and be your guide to radiant, flawless-looking skin using the right approach and anti-pigmentation skincare products. What is Skin Pigmentation? Skin pigmentation refers to the change in skin colour depending on the under or overproduction of melanin in your body. If for some reason your body produces more melanin, the colour of your skin becomes darker and you may sustain dark patches or spots all over your body. These spots are also known as hyperpigmentation. Contrary to this, if your body produces less melanin, you may notice your skin colour getting lighter or sustaining small white patches all across your body. The condition where your body faces loss of melanin in specific areas is also known as hypopigmentation. Hence, based on the under or overproduction of melanin in your body, the type of pigmentation is determined and treated accordingly. Tips for Managing Skin Pigmentation 1. Use targeted face serums: One of the best ways to treat skin pigmentation is by investing in high-concentrated targeted face serums that go layers deep into your skin to treat causes of pigmentation from the root. Look for face serums containing ingredients like Niacinamide and Glutathione Precursor as key ingredients such as POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum With 12% Gluta-Niacinamide Complex is a lightweight face serum that goes 10 layers deep into your skin, offering 8x spot reduction after every application. 2. Keep your skin well moisturised: You might not be aware of the fact that even dryness can cause skin pigmentation. Excessive skin dryness can weaken your skin barrier, affect collagen production, and increase the sensitivity of the skin, which allows UV rays to penetrate into your skin. This can trigger skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, tanning, and more. Hence, it is important to use deep nourishing and moisturising face creams like POND'S Bright Beauty Gel Crème With Glutaboost Niacinamide Complex designed to hydrate and brighten your skin tone after every application. To fight stubborn pigmentation, apply this gel crème every day right after using the POND'S anti-pigmentation face serum. For better and faster results, you can incorporate POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Spot Serum Cream With Niacinamide and SPF 15 PA++' in your morning skincare routine for deep hydration and sun protection. 3. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen: Excessive exposure to the sun and harmful UV rays are some of the leading causes of skin pigmentation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 and PA+++ ratings to get optimum protection and care from harmful UV rays and sun damage before you step out in the sun. Opting for sunscreens infused with active ingredients like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid can offer the dual benefits of sun protection and skin brightening on one product. 4. Use gentle face cleansers: Using harsh or abrasive face cleansers can do more harm than good to your skin. It is a common myth that rubbing your face hard or using harsh cleaners cleanses your skin more effectively and reduces pigmentation. Rather, these practices can worsen your skin pigmentation. Use gentle and effective face cleansers like POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash With Vitamin B3 to enjoy a fresh and deep cleansing experience after every wash. Achieving Radiant Skin 1. Stay consistent with the skincare routine: The only way to fight stubborn pigmentation and enjoy radiant-looking skin is by staying consistent with your skincare routine. Skincare is not an overnight process, but rather a long journey that helps transform your skin by bringing out its natural beauty and radiance. So, follow a consistent day and night skincare routine to witness faster and more favourable results. 2. Maintain a balanced diet: Along with topical treatment, maintaining a balanced diet can also make a huge difference in your everyday skincare routine. A healthy and clean diet helps your body absorb good nutrients and maintain a youthful appearance. If eating healthy every day is a challenge for you, then try to eat healthy at least 5 to 6 days a week. 3. Stay hydrated: We have already mentioned how important skin hydration is, but do you know keeping yourself hydrated is equally important? Yes, you read it right. Drinking enough water also plays a major role in maintaining the overall health and radiance of your beautiful skin,. 4. Prioritise rest and stress management: Take some days off and do nothing, but just relax to get your thoughts cleared and manage stress. You can also get involved in stress-management activities that help you get mentally and physically relaxed. Lastly and most importantly, try to get sufficient sleep every day so that your skin always feels fresh and radiant after waking up. Conclusion Tackling skin pigmentation starts with taking the correct measures without worrying about the fuss of layering your skin with a dozen different skincare products. Just a gentle face cleanser, high-concentrated face serum, and anti-pigmentation cream are all you need to get rid of stubborn skin pigmentation and enjoy flawless radiant look skin every day, all around the year!

The winter season calls for cosy days, where you just don't feel like getting out of your bed. It's relaxing and nice. But, the same cannot be said for your skin, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. The drop in temperature, harsh winds, and sudden climate changes are enough to make the winter season quite unforgiving and intolerable for individuals with dry and sensitive skin. As dry skin naturally lacks adequate sebum production, during the winter season, you might notice sudden tightness, irritation, or parched and flaky skin. On the other hand, sensitive skin has its own winter woes such as redness, itchiness, or stinging sensation when exposed to cold, chilling weather conditions. In fact, it is also safe to say that winter doesn't exactly play fair with these skin types. But, worry no more as things are about to change here with POND'S intensely hydrating and nourishing skincare range made to tackle chilly winter season without a fuss. However, let us first get started by understanding what dry and sensitive skin is and how the winter can be quite unforgiving to them. Understanding Dry and Sensitive Skin 1. Dry skin: Dry skin is categorised as a skin type that lacks sufficient sebum production. You might often feel tightness, dryness, and a flaky appearance on your skin after waking up, washing your face, or even sometime later after applying a moisturiser. Some of the common problems faced by individuals with dry skin include dull complexion, rough texture, skin irritation, and even premature ageing. 2. Sensitive skin: Compared to most skin types, sensitive skin gets more easily triggered by environmental changes and often demands extra care and attention during cold winter days. When exposed to environmental changes, your skin might sustain red patches, feel irritated, and experience persistent and unbearable stinging sensations that can be sometimes difficult to soothe. It is important to choose hydrating skincare products with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, and Niacinamide which are gentle yet effective on most skin types. Skincare for Dry & Sensitive Skin in Winter Winter skincare for dry and sensitive skin is all about taking the right approach and understanding what suits your skin the best! Here are some simple yet healthy ways you can protect your skin's natural barrier and maintain a glowing complexion throughout the season. 1. Opt for gentle cleansers: An effective winter skincare routine for dry or sensitive skin begins with a thoroughly cleansed and fresh skin base. Look for face cleansers formulated with soothing and hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B3, which intensely hydrates your skin without clogging pores or leaving greasy residue behind. If you are looking for a gel-based hydrating face wash, then try out POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gel Face Wash which is non-drying, refreshing, and suitable for all skin types. On the other hand, if you are looking for a face wash to tackle dullness and add a long-lasting glow, POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash With Vitamin B3 can be your best ally this winter season. 2. Layer up with hydrating face serums: For individuals with dry and sensitive skin, winter skincare is incomplete without nourishing and hydrating face serums. After washing your face, it is important to layer your skin with face serums like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Complex 2% Serum that provide an intense hydration boost, keeping your skin moisturised, plumped, and soft. Take a few drops of this hyaluronic acid face serum and spread it evenly across your face and neck, using your fingertips. Now, let the serum settle on your skin for a few minutes before you continue with the routine. 3. Apply rich and hydrating moisturisers throughout the day: A good moisturiser takes you a long way in your skincare journey. In other words, winter or no winter, layering your skin with a moisturiser is a must. Moisturisers with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E help lock in moisture, repair the skin barrier, and provide long-lasting hydration after consistent use. Enriched with the goodness of Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E, POND'S Super Light Oil-Free Moisturiser is all you need this winter season. Take a small amount of this face moisturiser and apply it all over your face and neck. Alternatively, you can also opt for Vitamin boost face creams like POND'S Bright Beauty 1% VIT C+E+A Gel Crème to enjoy soft, supple, and brighter-looking skin all day long. 4. Don't forget sun protection: We know it sounds unusual, but don't step out of your house without applying a good layer of sunscreen. Harmful UV rays have the potential to penetrate through clouds even during winter months and reach the deepest layers of your skin. Using a broad-spectrum and hydrating sunscreen like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 50 PA+++ Crème Gel Sunscreen helps shield your skin from sun damage while hydrating and nourishing your skin barrier with every application. Take two strips of this sunscreen on your index and middle finger and apply it all over your face and neck. Conclusion There is no denying the fact that winter poses some serious challenges for individuals with dry and sensitive skin. But, with the right care, skin hydration, and using POND'S skincare products, you can keep your skin soft, supple, and glowing no matter how low the temperature hits. So, don't let the winter woes take away the natural shine and glow of your skin with POND'S Hydrating and Brightening Skincare Range, made exclusively for your skin with innovation and care.

It's time to bid farewell to old and unhealthy skincare habits and embrace the new year to refresh your beauty and skincare game. While 2024 introduced us to unique and innovative skincare regimens, let the year 2025 be all about more personalised care, focusing on using the right products tailored to the specific needs of your skin, rather than simply chasing fleeting trends. But, how do you find your perfect skincare regime and where do you start? Just, don't worry about a thing. In this detailed Skin Care Dos and Don'ts guide, we will talk about essential factors to simplify your new year goals and get that glowing, confident skin you deserve. Essential Skincare Do's for the New Year 1. Stick to a basic skincare routine: Achieving healthy and glowing skin doesn't mean you have to follow every skincare trend or layer your skin with dozens of products. Investing in simple, precise, and effective skincare products is all that it will take to achieve your skincare goals in the coming year. A gentle yet effective face wash, tailored face serums, a hydrating and nourishing moisturiser, and a non-greasy and lightweight sunscreen are some of the basic skincare essentials that you need to transform your skin. 2. Always apply sun protection: You must have heard this from almost all skincare enthusiasts and experts, and we completely agree with them; sunscreen is an extremely important and non-negotiable skincare essential. Choose a broad-spectrum, lightweight and non-greasy sunscreen like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 55 PA+++ Light Sunscreen that safeguards and brightens your skin with every application. 3. Stay consistent: A new skincare routine can feel exciting, but consistency and sticking to one routine for the long term can make all the difference. Most skincare products take weeks or even more to show favourable results on your skin. It is not an overnight process, so no matter what, do follow a dedicated skincare routine every day and incorporate a power-packed face serum like POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum With 12% Gluta-Niacinamide Complex to bid adieu to all unwanted skin pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven patches that make your skin dull and lifeless. 4. Follow a balanced diet and exercise more: Skincare is a must, but so is your overall body health. Following a balanced diet and regularly exercising helps enhance the overall appearance of your skin and health drastically. Skincare isn't just about external factors, your internal health matters as well. So, eat wisely, exercise regularly, and glow brightly throughout your skincare journey. Essential Skincare Dont's for the New Year 1. Never sleep with makeup on: It might seem tempting to skip removing makeup after a very long and tiring day, but never hit your bed with makeup on. This practice can be the reason behind all those sudden break-outs, clogged pores, dull skin, and other rising skin concerns. Use a good water-based gentle make-up cleanser to remove your make-up. Don't forget to exfoliate your skin using a gentle and deep skin cleansing scrub like POND'S Bright Beauty Face Scrub with Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Silica Beads to get rid of accumulated dirt and impurities, leaving naturally glowing, smooth skin. 2. Avoid over-exfoliation: While exfoliation helps get rid of stubborn dirt, dead cells, and all impurities, over-exfoliating your skin can lead to skin irritation and sensitivity. It can further dry out your skin by stripping away the natural oils and moisture from your skin. Exfoliate your skin only once or twice a week to enjoy the best version of your skin. 3. Don't ignore your skin type and need: The best way to get the most out of your skincare regime is to invest in skincare products that match your skin type and needs. This helps in choosing products that are lightweight, non-comedogenic, and effective on your skin. If you are looking for a vitamin-rich face serum which can be used round the year, then POND'S Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A Face Serum is the only face serum you need to revamp your skincare games in 2025. 4. Don't forget to moisturise: Moisture loss is a serious problem that happens to individuals of all skin types. So, even if you have oily or combination skin, your skin may still need regular hydration. Use a lightweight and gel-based moisturiser infused with Hyaluronic Acid like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturiser With Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E that goes deep into your skin, locking moisture for up to 48 hours. The best part is that this moisturiser suits all skin types and can be used all around the season. Conclusion Let 2025 be the year where your skin feels and appears it's best using innovative and effective POND'S Skincare Products. Consider all the above-mentioned dos and don’ts while choosing skincare products tailored to your specific skin type and needs, and you will set yourself up for healthy, glowing skin like never before!

The new year gives you an opportunity to incorporate boundless positive changes in your daily lifestyle and overall health. Since skincare tops the list of priorities, let 2025 be the year where you can confidently say, `New Year, new me' with glowing skin to match your rizz! Whether this is your first time setting into the enormous world of skincare and beauty or you are still a novice, don't worry. We have got you! This detailed article will take you through everything you need to know to discover simple yet fruitful skincare goals for this new year. Here is how you can make a big difference in your skincare journey with simple practices and consistency. 7 Simple Skincare Goals For The New Year 1. Commit to daily sunscreen application: A good skincare starts with daily protection and care from harmful UV rays and sun damage. As it only takes a few minutes for UV rays to penetrate deep into your skin and give rise to potential skincare problems, a daily sunscreen application can be a game-changing addition to your skincare routine. Invest in broad-spectrum and lightweight sunscreens like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 50 PA+++ Creme Gel Sunscreen With Hyaluronic Acid that work well with all skin types, all around the year. 2. Follow a consistent morning and night skincare routine: Consistency is the key to any type of skincare routine. This year, make the healthy habits of following a simple skincare routine that doesn't demand much of your time, yet results are quite favourable. The common skincare products that are a part of any skincare routine include a gentle face cleanser, a nourishing face serum, hydrating moisturiser, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen that doesn't clog your pores. For the night skincare routine, you can skip sunscreens and replace your daily moisturiser with a hydrating and rejuvenating night cream like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Night Gel that makes your skin appear plump, soft, and radiant with overnight application. 3. Skin hydration is a must: Contrary to popular belief, skin hydration is crucial for all skin types to achieve healthy, glowing, and flawless-looking skin. This also includes individuals with oily or combination skin types. If your skin gets easily oily or clogged after applying a moisturiser, opt for a gel-based moisturiser like POND'S Super Light Oil-Free Moisturiser With Hyaluronic Acid which feels extremely light and gets quickly absorbed into your skin. However, if your skin is more on the dryer end, opt for cream-based and thick moisturiser. 4. Get adequate sleep: Along with topical skincare, your internal care and peace of mind matter the most. If you don't get enough sleep, your face may appear dull, exhausted, and lifeless. Hence, in the coming year, make a resolution to get enough sleep every day. Also, don't forget to keep yourself well-hydrated by drinking sufficient water, irrespective of the seasonal changes.   5. Follow a balanced diet: Your diet and unhealthy food habits play a major role in your skincare journey. We understand it can not be possible to maintain a proper diet every single day, so try to eat a clean and nutrient-rich diet at least 5 days a week. Moreover, regularly exercising or walking a few days a week can also make a huge difference in your diet. 6. Incorporated targeted face serums: If you are not already using a face serum with active ingredients, this is the year to start. Face serums are highly concentrated skincare products that go deep into your skin, targeting different skin concerns like pigmentation, dullness, dryness, dark spots, and even skin tone that take away the natural shine and radiance of your skin. Incorporate skin brightening and power-packed face serums like POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum With 12% Gluta-Niacinamide Complex that goes deep into your skin, targets skin concerns from the root, and offers a long-lasting radiance and shine that you cannot get enough of. 7. Take expert consultation: Lastly, if you are facing existing skin problems or serious skin issues, don't start your skincare journey by watching random videos online or without having adequate knowledge of how skin care ingredients work. Take expert advice and find out the most suitable and effective match for your skin. Be patient and trust the process, it is only through regular and consistent efforts that you will notice significant changes in your skin. Conclusion 2024 has almost come to an end, but your skincare journey is just getting started! Take advantage of this perfect opportunity to set your skincare goals and achieve flawless, radiant, and simply beautiful-looking skin in no time. Remember, it's never too late to start the journey to glowing skin that brings the most confident and flawless version of your skin. Let the magic of POND'S Skincare products unfold, transforming your daily skincare routine into a ritual of self-care and nourishment.
