All The New Skincare And Grooming Products We’re Loving Right Now

How do you know that you’re completely obsessed with skincare? A good marker would perhaps be an overflowing shelf in your bathroom, or a maxed-out credit card. Or both. At the rate at which new grooming and skincare products get launched, could you be blamed? From one skincare enthusiast to another, absolutely not!

When it comes to skincare, as a true lover and fanatic, you can’t ever have enough. Less might be more everywhere else, but for your skin (and those shelves in your bathroom), there’s no such thing. Especially since exciting new products are coming out in the market on a rather regular basis. India’s skincare and grooming market is booming, and there’s so much to choose from.

New Skincare & Grooming Products

Clarins Double Serum Light Texture

If like me, you too have been eagerly waiting for a lighter, more oily skin-compatible version of Clarins’ iconic Double Serum, it’s finally here, and we can all rejoice. It’s got all the good stuff that made the Double Serum such a rage with a texture that allows it to absorb faster than you’d even realise.

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum

For those of you looking for glassy skin, Shiseido’s new serum might just be the perfect product. Powered with the brand’s power fermented camellia+ technology, this serum works at strengthening your skin barrier while also refining your pores. Plus, it’s got a fabulous texture that you’ve got to try!

Juicy Chemistry 3% Ceramide Complex + Copper Peptide Serum

We already know that ceramides are excellent for the skin, right? Juicy Chemistry has taken that memo, and gone to town with it. Think a concentration of peptides that’s so potent, your skin can’t help but look and feel rejuvenated. Almost renewed. Skin barrier, fine lines, everything is resolved. What’s not to love?

Aminu Milky Mineral SPF

If you aren’t already in love with Aminu – their retinol cream is phenomenal – this  mineral sunscreen will surely make a convert. It feels like milk yet absorbs instantly and leaves no white cast. It’s packed with essential minerals like zinc and you can be rest assured it’s fabulous for your skin, while also protecting it.

Re’equil Oil-Free Aquagel Sunscreen

Another sunscreen that’s super light on the screen but works well to protect your skin. It’s also loaded with hyaluronic acid to offer nourishment too. As someone with oily skin, I’ve always enjoyed Re’equil products – this one too is totally worth it!

Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm

This globally-loved Korean brand is finally in India, and you’ll know why everyone swears by it once you’ve tried any of their products. My personal pick would be their cleansing balm. Firstly, I love cleansing balms in general, and secondly, this one is perhaps the reason why, to begin with. Its sorbet texture is truly incredible and your cleansed skin will thank you for it.

H&M Beauty Mystic Velvet EDP

H&M Beauty has finally made its way into India and like with all things from the retail brand, this new product line is offering a bunch of exciting things, from makeup to fragrance, and even associated accessories. I love this EDP that's a great, affordable wear for a night out in the city, or even just by yourself at home, if you're into it.

Inde Wild Hot Sauce Dewy Lip Treatment

When I first read about this lip treatment, I dismissed it as a marketing gimmick. Hot sauce, seriously? Now that I’ve tried it, I’d say, yes, seriously. The fire and ice effect of this one actually works and if a plumping effect is what you’re after, along with well hydrated lips of course, go for this right away.

Tom Ford Black Orchid Reserve

Who doesn’t love a fragrance by Tom Ford? I don’t said no one ever. This new one has truffle and bergamot as top notes, black orchid (which is what gives it its name) and ylang-ylang as middle ones and dark chocolate, patchouli as base notes. Sounds good enough to eat, if you ask me, and smells even better.
