Everyone's skin is different and so each one of us needs to take care of it in our own unique way. However, most of us don't realize this and so we follow set routines and use products just by their name and usage which may not suit us. I am glad that companies like Galderma who have successful brands like Cetaphil and Biluma, have launched a new initiative and made this month the Skin Awareness Month. With this they aim to educate consumers to Know their Skin, and what one needs to keep it healthy and beautiful. Basically one needs to know the importance of the right selection of products depending on our skin type.

I was glad to be a part of their event in Mumbai recently to know more about the initiative, where we had an informative panel discussion between dermatologists and beauty and travel influencers. My takeaways from the panel discussion that I would like to share with you were:

1. One should always know their skin type.

2. Always consult a dermatologist to know the right care to take and for that the right products to use for your skin type.

3. Skin has its own rhythm – Skin circadian rhythm for a healthy and glowing skin. The skin functions differ from the daytime and the time. During the day, the skin functions to brighten and protect the skin and during the night it functions to rejuvenate and nourish the skin. An imbalance in this day & night skin cycle due to internal & external factors leads to skin issues. However, do not treat your skin issues on your own. It could become worse if you take the wrong course of action. Always head to a dermatologist.

4. Age is a huge factor to be considered in your skincare routine as the condition of your skin changes with time.

5. Sunscreen come what may is one thing that we must not miss ever in our day skincare routine.

I also got to check out Cetaphil and Biluma products and saw that they had a such a relevant offering for my skin type and issues.


Cetaphil is a Globally renowned brand with 75 years of heritage and is the No. 1 Dermatologist prescribed brand across many countries. Cetaphil is scientifically formulated and clinically proven to nourish even the most sensitive skin. I was glad to see that Cetaphil has revamped their range with a New Look (packaging change) along with better formulation by adding gentle ingredients such as Glycerin that improves Hydration, Niacinamide for Brightening and Panthenol for moisturizing effect. Here are some of the products that are perfect for my dry skin that I am recommending after use:

● Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser – The perfect Cleanser/Face wash that cleanses and removes dirt and impurities without making my skin dry.

● Cetaphil Moisturising Cream – For long lasting hydration, this contains a blend of natural ingredients like sweet almond oil and Vitamin E. I love how my skin feels nourished after this.

Biluma

All these are perfectly in sync with Galderma's brand message - "Be you, it’s why we chose you!" They let you understand your skin better and then provide you with solutions to suit you. Do check out Cetaphil and Biluma products for healthy, bright and nourished skin!
