Makeup Artist Critiques Multi-Step Skincare in India
A famous makeup artist and a skin doctor talked about why using many skincare products might not be good for people in India.
They said that because India is very humid, using too many products can make your skin sweat and trap dirt.
The makeup artist suggested using just a few simple products like a cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and eye cream at night.
The doctor agreed and said that teenagers don't need fancy products and should just use gentle cleanser, light moisturizer, and sunscreen.
For people in their mid-20s, they suggested adding a special serum at night to help keep the skin healthy.
Both experts said that you don't need many products, just the right ones for your skin.
Celebrity makeup artist Namrata Soni criticizes 10-step skincare routines as impractical for India's humid climate.
Dr. Navjot Arora explains that layering too many products can trap sweat, oil, and pollution, preventing skin from breathing.
Soni recommends a simple routine: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and eye cream at night.
Dr. Arora advises teenagers to stick to gentle cleanser, light moisturizer, and sunscreen, avoiding strong products unless prescribed.
For mid-20s, Dr. Arora suggests a gentle cleanser, lightweight moisturizer, sunscreen, and optional antioxidant or niacinamide serum at night.
