BEST SUNSCREEN FOR STRONG UV PROTECTION

Innisfree’s Green Tea Hyaluronic Moist Sun Serum is Korean skincare at its best—it’s hydration boost and sun shield rolled into one. The fragrance-free vegan serum formulation is such that it slides on smooth and soaks in fast; no white cast, no sticky mess. Combining antioxidant-rich jeju green tea and hyaluronic acid, this sun serum will keep your skin fresh and dewy-looking. If you're looking for an SPF moisturiser that feels non-greasy on the skin, this one's a no-brainer.

BEST SERUM FOR THINNING HAIR

Be it the pollution from the infrastructure development of your city, the hot and humid weather, or simply bad genes—there’s many reasons for your greying, thinning, dull and split-ends-ridden hair. I've been using Inde Wild's Moonlight Scalp Serum for a few weeks now and the transformation has been slow but clear. This homegrown vegan product has super ingredients such as bhringaraj, moringa, amla and brahmi, all of which come together to nourish your scalp, minimise breakage and leave you with stronger hair follicles and signs of denser growth.
