A simple, honest three-step routine that works for Indian skin and weather, most of it under 500 each
Who this is for
Anyone starting a skincare routine who is overwhelmed by trends and wants what actually works
Skincare has been made to feel complicated and expensive, but the science is simple and cheap. Cleanse, moisturise and wear sunscreen, done consistently, does more than any ten-step routine. Indian skin and climate have specific needs: sun protection matters year round, and lightweight formulas suit the humidity. These are the affordable, well-loved basics to start with, no hype.
Cleanse, moisturise, sunscreen. Do those three daily and you are ahead of most people.

Introduce slowly to avoid irritation
In the morning: cleanser, then moisturiser, then sunscreen. At night: cleanser, then moisturiser. That is the entire foundation. Add serums like vitamin C or niacinamide later, once the basics are a habit.
Yes. Sun exposure through windows and on cloudy days still causes tanning, dark spots and ageing over time. Daily sunscreen is the single most effective skincare step, all year, for every skin tone.
