Indian skin is so unique. Even within the country, our skin varies. But there are some special features that almost all Indians share. Here’s what sets it apart:

More Melanin

Indian skin typically has more melanin – giving it a warm, golden, or olive undertone.
These higher levels of melanin give us some natural protection against UV rays, lowering the risk of sunburn and skin cancer. But it also means our skin can be more prone to hyperpigmentation and dark spots.

Combination to Oily Skin:

Indian skin tends to be oilier in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).
The good news is it helps keep skin looking youthful. The tricky part is that it can sometimes lead to acne.

Thicker skin:

Indian skin is naturally thicker  –  which comes with its own pros and cons.
The upside? It ages more slowly.
The downside? It’s more prone to clogged pores and acne.

Prone to pigmentation and uneven skin tone:

Indian skin can easily develop pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven tone when irritated or exposed to the sun. That’s why it’s important to protect it and keep it calm with the right care.

The right way to look after Indian Skin.

Indian skin should cleanse gently

Cleanse very gently.

Avoid harsh face washes and cleansers as they can irritate Indian skin  – and that can trigger pigmentation. So when it comes to cleansing, gentle is the way to go!

Key ingredients in Sooperboost face serum

Use serums with the right ingredients.

If you want to make a real change to your skin, you need to use a serum twice daily. Serums can go deeper into your skin, where it can make an actual difference.

Always invest in a good quality serum which contains ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic acid, Peptides or Glycolic acid.

These ingredients help to:
✔️ even out skin tone
✔️ brighten skin
✔️ reduce pigment
✔️ hydrate skin

Note: Remember that all serums are not made the same. Read the label, check the website and make sure they contain enough percentage of the ingredients to make a difference – otherwise you are simply wasting your money.

Sun triggers pigmentation so use sunscreenSun triggers pigmentation so use sunscreen

Use a sunscreen everyday. Rain or shine.

Indian skin does not react well to the sun –  so sunscreen is a must. Because without it, skin gets all pigmented and spotty.
For clear, glowing skin, always follow up your serum with a sunscreen.
