Is a nighttime skincare routine amiss from your life? If yes, we recommend you remedy this situation STAT. Often a grave error (committed by the most seasoned enthusiasts) – a dedicated regimen in the PM is non-negotiable.
Our skin, which is predominantly in combat mode during the day, prioritises repair and rejuvenation as we grab some zzzsss. To help ensure the skin’s optimal health and functionality, one needs a fleshed-out regimen which entails cleansing, treating, and nourishing. To help you in this endeavour, here are some of Nykaa Army’s favourite picks for a PM routine.
