Because taking care of your skin is more important than covering it up!
The skincare industry has definitely shown a massive boost in the last couple of months, thanks to the fact that we cannot step out of our homes without covering half of our faces. Makeup? We’re keeping her on the down-low for now! And now that we have an ample amount of time on our hands, we are finally paying attention to our skin, and investing in great skincare products is a great start (unless you’re all about DIY!).
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure that you’ve heard all the hype around CeraVe and The Ordinary skincare products. Looks like the gen Z group of people just discovered these cult faves because they are blowing up pretty much on every social media platform and are sold out everywhere!
But let’s not frown because here are some desi skincare brands too that work really well on acne-prone skin and definitely deserve to ride the hype train!
Indian Skincare Brands That Deserve Your Attention
These skincare brands have some of the best acne-fighting superstars and we’re telling you all about them.
Dr. Sheth’s
Everyone hates acne but sadly, there’s no escaping them!
Acne is usually caused due to stress, hormonal changes, pollution, excess production of sebum and what not! Especially with the weather change, we Indians face a lot of skin woes and nobody understands it better than a dermatologist and a cosmetic chemist!
Their skincare products are specifically formulated for the Indian skin and their best-seller, Neem & BHA Spot Clarifying Serum is a must-have spot-treatment if your acne visits you more than your friends! It not only removes acne but also dead skin, clears pores, and leaves you with acne-free skin. The hero ingredient, neem, is acne’s worst enemy and combining that with 2% Salicylic acid is only making things better. This tiny bottle packs in a punch for issues like acne, blackheads, whiteheads and textured skin.
Dot & Key
Applying serum twice a day will keep so many skin woes at bay! When it comes to skincare, the importance of a good facial serum cannot be emphasized enough, especially if you have acne-prone skin. Dot & Key’s zit zapping serum is a great product to add to your elaborate skincare regimen if acne is annoying the hell out of you.
It not only minimizes the appearance of acne but also reduces acne scars, clears up the skin and leaves a subtle glow behind.
Plum Goodness
Green tea is amazing for the skin. Period.
If you want to get rid of blemishes on your skin, while repairing your skin and feeding it with the nourishing and germ-fighting goodness of green tea, you have to try the Green Tea Clear Face Mask by Plum Goodness. It is super gentle on the skin and a perfect mask to chill with, while you binge-watch your fave TV shows on Netflix.
It’s a super creamy mud mask that exfoliates your skin gently, removes impurities and of course, fights off acne! You can also use it to calm irritated skin and skin inflammation. PS: With consistent use, this one even gets rid of stubborn blackheads!
Pure Earth
If you are looking for an all-natural, organic solution for your pesky pimples, this might become your new fave! Pure Earth’s Turmeric Sand is an exfoliant that gently removes dead skin, defends the skin’s surface from harmful radicals, draws out impurities, removes acne, and encourages blood flow (hello, glow!). This is a great product to use if you have uneven skin or even those pesky white bumps on the skin that are living on your face rent-free!
Infused with the goodness of neem, turmeric, saffron, madder root, etc, we bet your skin will never look the same once you start using it.
Re’equil
Did you know that acne scars are caused due to the fact that our skin’s collagen balance is disturbed? Yes, exactly like any injury on the skin. Thankfully, we can stop stressing about post-acne scars as Re’equil Pitstop Gel promises to remove those acne scars in no time. Just a quick dab on the affected area and your skin shall be flawless again in no time!
