How to Build a Face Care Routine That Actually Works

Looking for a face care routine that’s actually effective and easy to stick to? You’re in the right place. Here's a friendly, Gen‑Z‑approved guide packed with actionable tips and skincare trends trending in India right now.

1. Cleanse Gently — No Stripping

Start fresh in the morning with a gentle, sulphate‑free cleanser. Cleansing twice a day removes dirt, dust, and pollution without damaging your skin barrier. Use lukewarm or normal water — never hot — to avoid dryness.

2. Exfoliate Smart

Gently exfoliate 2–3 times a week—use our walnut-honey scrub. This removes dead skin, enhances product absorption, and brightens up the skin. Don’t overdo it—daily exfoliation can disrupt your moisture barrier.

3. Tone & Hydrate

Swipe on a hydrating toner or mist (like our Kashmiri Rose Tonic Mist). It balances pH, tightens pores with witch hazel, and preps skin for the next steps . This small step can make your routine feel luxe and just works.

4. Boost with Actives

Target your skin goals:

  • Vitamin C for brightening and glow
  • Niacinamide to even tone and calm
  • Hyaluronic Acid to lock in hydration
    These are trending in India and widely loved for delivering visible results.

5. Moisturize for Your Skin

All skin types need it—even oily skin. Pick a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer, ideally with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or vitamin E . This keeps you soft and hydrated all day.

6. Shield with Sunscreen

This is non‑negotiable under the Indian sun. Choose SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen, even on cloudy days. Reapply every couple of hours to prevent tanning, pigmentation, and early aging.

7. Night time Repair

After cleansing, add a night cream with bakuchiol or peptides to support cell turnover and barrier repair. This helps restore your skin while you sleep.
