As we enter a new season, let our resident Beauty Expert Rohit Bagga guide you through some of the best spring/summer skincare and makeup essentials.
As soon as spring rears its head, I begin to think about how best to change my daily routine to better suit the changing weather, often packing away richer textures in favour of lightweight variations, saying goodbye to full coverage foundation for skin-like coverage and most importantly, upping the ante on sun protection.
Today I’m sharing the best products to help you navigate some new launches and get ready for Summer!
