Well for any woman in her early 30s, it’s easy to look 10 years younger than her real age with the right clothes, makeup and hair-do. But fast forward a decade later things change phenomenally! You cannot imagine looking younger without help from Photoshop, plastic surgeons and dermatologists.

Girls, who read my blog regularly, know I’m a die-hard sun-lover (read, Sun-screen lover!) and a great fan of Kaya Skin Clinic products. Indeed their prices are steep and claims are high but they are also one of the few skincare lines in India that keep up to their promises.

So picking up Kaya Sunscreen with SPF 15 for my daily use came as a natural choice to me. Even if I’m not going outdoors, I prefer to slather myself with a light SPF 15 lotion as part of my daily morning skincare ritual.

And being a sunscreen addict, I’ve tried several sunscreen lotions with SPF 15 for my daily use. Some are either too matte to absorb well or some are too sticky for my oily skin. However, after using Kaya sunscreen consistently for two months, I’m happy to state that it has overcome both these issues with its quick-absorbing, light-weight formula.

Here’s my full take on Kaya daily use sunscreen with SPF 15 and the reasons why I have found it to be the best sunscreen for oily skin in India: Continue reading

If you think dark spots and uneven skin tone are affecting your appearance and pulling down your spirits, you aren’t alone. Given the climate and environment we live in, it is not uncommon for even the healthiest of skin to be beaten with sun tan, dust, and pollution.

While, home remedies are the best way to treat darkened skin, they are not always effective; especially in cases of chronic and severe hyper-pigmentation. Our skin color is determined by the amount of melanin present in skin cells called melanocytes. Hyper-pigmentation occurs when melanocytes increase their pigment production leading to dark patches and blotchy complexion.

You can read more about hyper-pigmentation and different causes of darkened complexion here.

But the good news is, the condition is not incurable. And you can easily get rid of dark spots, patches and blemishes with plenty of commercial ointments and treatments. The most common are OTC fairness creams and bleach-based lightening creams. Chemical peels are also a great option for those looking towards a quick way to lighten skin.

Coming to skin lightening and whitening creams in India, here is my list of ten best fairness and skin lightening creams that really work to give you a brighter complexion: Continue reading
