POND'S Hydra Light PM Routine

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.

Each new year brings a wave of fresh beauty trends and skincare innovations, often tempting us to keep up with them for all different reasons. While most trends might put a pinch in your pockets, only a few are truly worth the hype and deserve all your attention. So, let 2025 be the year of smart, essential, and manageable skincare resolutions that help enhance your overall appearance and bring out the best and most flawless version of your skin. Here are the top 10 manageable skincare resolutions that you just cannot miss out on. Step into 2025 with Confidence and Clear Skin 1. Moisturise day and night: In the year 2025, make moisturisation an essential part of your skincare resolution. No matter your skin type is or what season you are in, moisturisation is a must! Use an intensely hydrating and lightweight moisturiser infused with Hyaluronic Acid like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturiser With Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E twice a day and your skin will thank you for the soft, supple, and plump skin texture. 2. Invest in gentle cleansers: Choosing the right face wash can be a tricky job, especially with various options to choose from. It is always safe to start with a gentle cleanser with skin-friendly active ingredients that help cleanse and target skin concerns without stripping away natural oils or drying out your skin. Try out a gentle, anti-dullness, and nourishing face wash like POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash With Vitamin B3 that gently cleanses and brightens your skin after every wash. For a more hydrating option, a Hyaluronic Acid-infused face wash like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gel Face Wash can be one the best available options. 3. Use sunscreen daily: Sun protection is often overlooked, especially during winter months. Irrespective of climate conditions, harmful UV rays have the potential to penetrate from clouds and reach your skin, leading to several unwanted skin concerns. So, before walking out of your house, don't forget to apply a sufficient layer of a minimum of SPF 30 and PA+++ rating sunscreen on your face and the rest of your body to safeguard your skin throughout the day. 4. Nourish your skin with face serums: Wanting to see faster and more efficient results on your skin? Incorporate nourishing, hydrating, and skin-replenishing face serums that help target various skin concerns without leaving any unwanted side effects. To fight skin pigmentation and achieve flawless and brighter-looking skin, opt for a Gluta-Niacinamide face serum like POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum with 12% Gluta-Niacinamide Complex. During winter, opt for more hydrating serum options like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Complex 2% Serum that goes deep into your skin without clogging pores or leaving greasy residue. Use this serum twice a day if you have dry skin and enjoy plump, supple, soft, and hydrated-looking skin all day long. 5. Exfoliate once a week: This might be underrated but, exfoliating your skin once a week can help get rid of all the accumulated dirt, dust, dead cells, and impurities from your skin. If you are looking for a gentle yet effective exfoliating face scrub that offers you an instant glow, POND'S Bright Beauty Face Scrub can be your go-to option! 6. Simplify your skincare routine: Achieving flawless, radiant, and soft-looking skin does not mean you need to have a complicated skincare routine or you need to layer your skin with tons of products. Just an effective face cleanser, nourishing face serum, hydrating moisturiser, and high SPF sunscreen like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 55 PA+++ Light Sunscreen is enough to protect, replenish, and safeguard your skin for the rest of the day. 7. Incorporate Vitamins in your skincare routine: Vitamins are an extremely important part of your health and skincare routine. Using products infused with different vitamins can help give your skin a much-needed daily boost of nourishment and care. Infused not with one but with the goodness of three vitamins, POND'S Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A Serum is a three-in-one powerful face serum that brightens, replenishes, and protects your skin from sun damage. Choose this face serum to level your skincare games this new year and flaunt your radiant, glowing, and beautiful-looking skin every day, throughout the year. 8. Get serious about sleeping habits: We know adulting is tough, but for good skin and health, you need to get your sleeping habits on track. Surfing online or mindlessly scrolling on your phone right before hitting your bed can affect your sleeping habits and make your skin appear dull, exhausted, and lifeless. Get enough sleep, and yes, don't forget to drink sufficient water throughout the day. 9. Eat clean: Your skin is a direct reflection of what goes inside your body, so try eating clean and healthy. Make a resolution this year to avoid junk food as much as possible and stick to home-cooked food rather than processed food. 10. Practice consistency: Consistency in maintaining your skincare routine, eating healthy, staying fit, and getting enough sleep will take you a long way in your skincare journey. While practising this every day can be tough, try to eat healthy 5 to 6 days a week and follow your skincare routine every day to see favourable and faster results. Conclusion Well, these are some easy and manageable skincare habits that you can incorporate without taking a toll on your pockets or squeezing extra time from your hectic schedules. Embrace 2025 with these skincare resolutions and bring out the new, confident, and best version of your skin using POND'S skincare products.

Are you tired of applying multiple skincare products yet witnessing little to no significant improvements in your skin? Then there is a probability of you using the wrong ingredients or investing in an ineffective skincare routine. This happens because there are some ingredients that just don't work well with your skin to deliver the result you expect. Don't worry, you are not alone. Achieving flawless and beautiful skin isn't just about applying tons of skincare products or expecting overnight results. We will walk through some of the common reasons explaining why the skincare routine is not working for you and most importantly, helping you fix the same using POND'S Skincare Products. So, read on till the end! Using the Wrong Products: This one goes without saying. One of the possible reasons why your skincare routine isn't working for you is because you might be using the wrong ingredients on your face. To reap the most out of your skincare routine, you should choose the right products that go well with your skin type, the seasonal changes, and the skin concerns you wish to target. For instance, if you are dealing with dryness and dullness, and seeking products that hydrate your skin, then the POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Complex 2% Serum can be a great option. Inconsistent Routine: Skincare isn't something that works overnight. Consistency in skincare can take you a long way, leaving your skin flawlessly beautiful and radiant for years. If you are someone who is quite inconsistent with your skincare routine or you only invest in a proper skincare routine when you have a special occasion to attend, you might not notice significant results in your skin. Morning routines can be simple with POND'S Cleansers of your choice, hydrating moisturisers like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturiser With Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen. For the night time routine, you can opt for intense care, especially if you have hectic morning hours. Cleanse your skin using a POND'S face wash of your choice, apply a few drops of POND'S Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A Serum, and wrap your night time skincare with POND'S night gel cream. Overuse or Underuse of Products: Another major reason why your skincare routine is not working for you might be due to the overuse or underuse of the skincare products. When it comes to skin care, balance is the key. You must not overuse skincare products infused with potent ingredients like Retinol or exfoliants, as they can cause damage to your skin. Similarly, using too little of a product can also limit the effectiveness of your skincare product. Ignoring Key Skincare Steps: At times, you might be in a hurry and following a multi-step skincare routine might not be feasible. But, there are some steps you shouldn't miss. For instance, never skip on face cleansers as they help remove existing dirt, dead cells, and build-up from your skin. Wet your face and squeeze a dime-sized amount of POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash on your palms. Dilute it with water and gently rub it to create a lather. Massage your skin for a minute and rinse it with water. Post this mandatory step, you can continue with the remaining steps. Not Protecting Your Skin Against External Factors: External factors such as harsh sun rays and pollution are beyond your control and can cause long-term damage to your skin. To protect your skin from these factors and reap the maximum benefits of your skincare routine, always apply sunscreen before stepping outdoors. Wear a hat or scarf to protect your face. Drink enough water and follow a good diet. When walking outdoors, apply a generous amount of POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 55 PA+++ Light Sunscreen With Niacinamide to achieve optimum protection. Take two strips of your POND'S sunscreen on your index and middle finger and apply it evenly all over your face and neck. Reapply the product after every two to three hours, ensuring your skin stays protected and nourished under the sun. How to Fix Your Skincare Routine?

Skin cleansing is the first and the most crucial step in your skincare routine. When done correctly, it prepares your skin to fully absorb the active ingredients and helps achieve more visible and effective results. However, you might have noticed that not all types of face wash work well with your skin. Some might make your skin feel dry, rough, and irritated, while others dont offer the desired results. This happens because not all types of face wash are made equal, and not all ingredients suit most skin types. Choosing the right face wash based on your skin type and needs can make all the difference in your everyday skincare routine. So, if you are looking for ways on how to choose the right face wash for your skin, this detailed blog can be quite helpful for you. Common Mistakes When Choosing a Face Wash 1. Ignoring the ingredients: One of the common mistakes that most of us make while investing in any skincare product is not looking at the ingredients properly. By simply looking at the set of ingredients before purchasing the product will get you to learn the effectiveness of the facewash on your skin. 2. Not considering your skin type: Considering your skin type while choosing a face wash helps you select the products tailored specifically to your skins needs and concerns. For example, a gel face wash works best on oily and combination skin types, while a thick and cream-based face wash suits dry and normal skin. 3. Investing in harsh cleansers: Many people believe that a harsh or strong face wash is more effective than gentle face cleansers. Using harsh cleaning products on your skin can damage your skin barrier, cause irritation, and lead to several skin concerns. POND'S Bright Beauty VIT C+E+A Gel Face Wash is a gentle, non-drying face wash that helps get rid of accumulated dirt, sweat, and impurities and brighten your skin without stripping its natural moisture. 4. Overlooking seasonal changes: Many people tend to use the same skincare products throughout the year and witness no significant changes in their skin. Changes in climate and temperature can take a toll on your delicate skin. Hence, you should consider stocking your skincare products based on the seasonal changes. How to choose a face wash for your skin? 1. Oily skin: If you have oily or dull skin, look for a gel face wash that gently cleanses your skin and helps control excessive oil without stripping natural oils from your skin. PONDS Bright Beauty VIT C+E+A Gel Face Wash is a powerful face wash that gently exfoliates your skin, leaving brighter and clearer skin after every wash. 2. Dry Skin: Dry skin can easily lose moisture if you are using a harsh or exfoliating face wash. For better results, use a cream-based or thick-consistency face wash that adds moisture rather than stripping it away. POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Face Wash is a hydrating face wash that is infused with 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid molecules. This face wash gently cleanses dirt, sweat, and impurities while restoring moisture in your skin. 3. Combination skin: When it comes to combination skin, you must choose a face wash that helps balance your skins moisture without making your skin too dry or oily. POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash With Vitamin B3 is a carefully formulated face wash that leaves 4X visibly brighter and glass-like shiny skin over consistent use of the product. This face wash is great for all skin types and can also be used for individuals with combination skin. 4. Sensitive skin: For sensitive skin, it is best to stay extra cautious by investing in a gentle face wash with calming ingredients. If your skin is prone to allergies or reacts easily to active ingredients, consult a skin specialist to find the perfect match for your skin type. Face Wash Myths Debunked 1. Using hot water to cleanse: Most people believe that hot water provides a deeper and more effective cleaning experience, while in reality it can irritate the skin and strip away essential moisture. Use lukewarm water to wash your face effectively without damaging your barrier. 2. Washing your face very frequently: If you are someone who believes washing your face more often will improve the overall health and appearance of your skin, you are highly mistaken. Ideally, you should only wash your face with a face wash twice a day, morning and night to maintain proper balance and shine of your skin. 3. Exfoliating your skin every day: Exfoliating your skin should be done only once or twice a week, depending on your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, then you should minimise exfoliating and avoid physical exfoliation as it can be too harsh on your skin. 4. All face washes are the same: One of the biggest myths that most people believe is that all face washes are made up the same way. In reality, different face washes serve different purposes, depending on your skin type and preferences. Tips for Effective Face Washing 1. Clean your skin for a minute: For effective results, try to massage the face wash for a minute on your skin as it helps deeply cleanse and treat your skin. 2. Use soft cloth: Using a soft cloth to pat dry your skin is much gentler than rubbing your face with harsh or poor-quality face wash as it reduces friction and prevents stripping natural oils from your skin. Conclusion Hopefully, you got all your answers on how to choose the right face cleansers for your unique skin type and preferences. You always require an effective and deep cleansing face wash that suits your skin and can lead your way to healthy, glowing skin. Choose your ideal POND'S Face Wash today, and let your skin feel its best, all day long, day after day. FAQs 1. Can I use the same face wash in the morning and evening? Yes, you can. Depending on your skincare goals and concerns, you can use the same face wash for your morning and night routine. 2. How do I know if a face wash is not suitable for my skin? If the face wash makes your skin irritated, dry, tight or leads to even more breakouts, it is not the best match for your skin. 3. Should I change my face wash according to the season? Yes. If needed, you should change your face wash based on seasonal changes. Gel-based face cleansers are best for summer use, non-greasy, gentle face washes will work best in monsoon, and in winter, opt for hydrating, cream-based face washes. 4. What ingredients should you look for in a face wash? Generally, you should look for ingredients that suit your skin type the best. However, versatile ingredients like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid suit all skin types. 5. Can face wash help with acne-prone skin? Yes, face wash can help with acne-prone skin by removing excess oil, dirt, and bacteria that clog pores. 6. What is the difference between gel, and foam face washes? Gel face washes are lightweight and non-greasy products, suitable for almost all skin types, but especially sensitive skin. On the other hand, foam face washes lather in rich foam, suitable for individuals with oily and acne-prone skin.
