As we march towards peak summer, it’s important to make space for the best summer-appropriate beauty products. We’ve even got the brands to decode these hero products.

THE AQUAHOLIC HYDRATING STICK FROM SUGAR COSMETICS

WHY WE LOVE IT: The compact and user-friendly product makes on-the-go hydration touch-ups easy and effective.

FROM VINEETA SINGH, CO-FOUNDER & CEO, SUGAR COSMETICS “In a country such as ours, where everyone is constantly out and about for work or leisure, a fuss-free moisturiser is a necessity. On some days, daily face creams just aren’t enough or leave your skin feeling sticky and oily. The SUGAR Aquaholic Hydrating Stick not only hydrates your skin and prevents dryness and itchiness, but also helps your makeup last longer.

“We wanted it to revive skin, leaving it soft and supple, and eliminate puffiness around the eyes, giving a fresher appearance. We also wanted the product to be easy to carry around. Formulated to suit the Indian climate and skin types, it contains ingredients such as menthol to soothe the skin, aloe juice to reduce redness, and witch hazel extract to reduce puffiness; these work together to help revive your skin.”

TARAL FROM EKAVI

WHY WE LOVE IT: This multi-purpose floral hydrosol is great for providing dull and fatigued skin with a quick pick-me-up.
