Swetha G. Asks:
Hey IMBB,
Just wanted a suggestion in getting a good routine with products which would be easily available. I have normal to dry skin and have just come out of the acne-infections problems that I had previously. Could you recomend a good cleanser, toner and moisturiser from some easily available brands here in Bangalore. I have my wedding in November and want to start taking care of my skin.

Ayur cleanser and ayur astringent are good. I have oily skin and I use “Elovera” aloe cream with vitamin E
For acne prone skin I highly suggest vichy’s normaderm range of cleanser, tone and moisturizer..its the best! I personally have used moisturizer, cleanser and night cream from their normaderm range and see huge difference in terms of reduction of acne, zits etc.
for easily available brands..
face wash- clean n clear if u r under 25,i have heard it doesn’t work well on the ladies in thirties. else lotus herbals or fab India tea tree can be good options though(i m currently using)
toner- i use only toner from lotus herbals.they suit me well.
moisturizer- having oily skin, during summers i really avoid any kind of moisturizer,but during winters, i use lotus herbal aloe hydra moisturizing gel..
sunscreen- i use lotus safe sun spf 50, u can choose of either higher or lower spf from the same brand according to your need..but after fining my current tube,i am gonna try their anti-tan gel(loved reading the review in this blog)
these r must for the skin care.. 🙂 🙂
awating moderation ???? 🙁 🙁 🙁 ;( ;(
Hi Swetha….try the TBS Tea Tree range….:)
You can use any soap free cleanser like Ubtans from forest essentials or from Kama.
Fab india Rose water would act as a good toner for normal to dry skin.
I liked the aroma magic almond & honey moisturiser for day time and Forest essentials and sandalwood and saffron night cream for night. U can try that too.
Dear Karpagam
Can u please tell where do we can get Kama products in chennai… I couldn’t get that
Fab India Tonners & cleansing milk are good..and Clean & clear face wash..you could easily get these..
The Clin*que 3-step range improved my skin texture immensely…u can close ur eyes n buy tht, it works wonders! I used #3 which is for combo n oily skin…the toner is awesome for reducing oil n pore size
Tea tree range from TBS or more cheaper one would be Lakme Matteffect. Hope it helps!!
both are tried and tested!!
Cleanser-Himalaya neem face wash/Jovees Neem face wash
Cleansing milk – banjaras neem cleansing milk (using it occasionally to remove minimal makeup )
Toner – Dabur gulab gel
Moisturizer – Lakme moisturizer at day and at night – lotus papayablem and aromamagic under eye gel
try rose instead of toner and baby oil instead of cleanser…they made a huge diff to my skin
