When it comes to seasonal skincare for different skin, there is a multitude of permutations and combinations of products you could follow. That’s because one size doesn’t fit all. It all boils down to the timing, the order of layering and being aware of the crucial shift in a routine with seasonal changes.
Here’s some good news for you. We’ve chalked out a summer and winter care routine with essential skincare products so you’re sorted.
WINTER SKINCARE ROUTINE
● WINTER SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR DRY SKIN
i. Cleanser
The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Cleansing Foam Aloe Cleansing ideally shouldn’t dry out your skin and strip it of its natural moisture.

The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Cleansing Foam Aloe fulfills all of these while being enriched with the goodness of Aloe Vera and 9 kinds of herb extracts.
ii. Toner
