Hello, weekend. Goodbye, oily skin.
This weekend, bid adieu to oily skin. Oily skin is a nuisance and can cause acne flare-ups and blemishes. The germs, stress and impurities only add to the grief. But don’t you fret. Here’s what you need to do. Use a face wash to keep your skin clean, healthy and hydrated. And we’ve got just the thing for you to help you face the weekend like a pro.

Pro tip: Never use hot water to wash your face as this can strip your skin of moisture.
No dark spots. Just bright weekends.
Are dark spots darkening your weekend plans? Time to shed light on a solution. But first, you need to know that dark spots appear if you haven’t had enough sleep and also due to ageing. Anyway, we have a spot-on solution.

Good plans? Yes. A good shave? Of course yes!
Nothing spells the weekend like a long, leisurely shave. Even if you want to keep a stubble, regular maintenance is highly important. It not only keeps your beard hair clean and healthy but also makes you look presentable and neat. All you need is a good razor to transform your face. Here are a few more shatips!

Word to the wise
Whatever products you may pick, do read the instruction manual carefully before using. Also, keep a watch on the ingredients and avoid the ones you may be allergic to. If you’re not aware of the allergies, ensure you do a patch test first.
