Have you ever wondered why Indian skin needs a customized skincare routine for that tanned glow? The secret is ‘Melanin’—the pigment that defines our skin, hair, and eye colors. Given the broad spectrum of skin tones and melanin levels in Indian skin, it's crucial to prioritize its care in a personalised manner. Indians, given our natural composition, have high levels of Melanin. But excessive melanin leads to hyperpigmentation, darkening the skin in patches. Uneven melanin distribution worsens complexion irregularities. Dark spots, like those from acne or injuries, are common melanin related issues in Indian Skin. Some tips? Here you go! 

• Choose gentle cleansers with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. They keep skin clean and moisturised without irritation. 
• Opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturisers and hydrating serums with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. These ingredients are useful for maintaining skin hydration, improving texture, and promoting a healthy-looking complexion. 
• Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) is crucial to prevent hyperpigmentation and premature aging. Target hyperpigmentation with products containing niacinamide, kojic acid, or licorice extract. AHAs or BHAs can even out skin tone by removing dead skin cells. 
• Embrace Ayurvedic remedies like turmeric, neem, and sandalwood for their anti-inflammatory and brightening properties. Saffron and aloe vera aid in reducing inflammation and promoting skin healing.
