Frequently Asked Beauty Questions

Practical answers to common questions about skincare, makeup, hair care, fragrance and beauty.

What order should I apply skincare products?
A common skincare order is cleanser, toner or essence if used, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning. At night, sunscreen is omitted and other treatments can be used according to their product directions. See our glossary for term definitions.
Do I need sunscreen every day?
Regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen can help reduce UV exposure and protect against sunburn and cumulative sun damage. SPF 30 or higher is commonly recommended. Reapplication may be needed when spending extended time outdoors, especially after swimming or sweating.
How often should I use retinol?
People who are new to retinol often introduce it gradually, such as once or twice a week, and increase frequency according to their skin's response and the product directions. A small amount is generally used, followed by moisturizer if needed.
What's the difference between gel, acrylic, and BIAB manicures?
Gel polish is cured under a lamp and is generally used as a coating over the natural nail. Acrylic uses a liquid and powder system to create a harder enhancement. BIAB, or Builder In A Bottle, is a builder-gel product designed to add structure and reinforcement. Read our full comparison .
How can I make my perfume last longer?
Applying fragrance to moisturized skin can help it feel longer-lasting. Pulse points such as the wrists and neck are common application areas. Avoid rubbing fragrance into the skin after application. Longevity also depends on the fragrance formula, concentration, skin and environment.
Are drugstore skincare products as good as luxury brands?
Price alone does not determine whether a skincare product is suitable or effective. Ingredients, formulation, concentration, product quality and individual skin needs are all important factors.

FAQ in Your Language

Common beauty questions answered in English, Hindi, and Hinglish.

Should I apply sunscreen every day in India?
Regular sunscreen use can help reduce exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Consider a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, particularly when spending time outdoors. Reapplication may be needed during extended outdoor activity.
How often should I oil my hair?
Hair-oiling routines vary depending on hair and scalp needs. Some people use oil before washing their hair, while others prefer not to oil the scalp. Choose an approach that suits your hair, scalp and washing routine, and avoid leaving products on the scalp if they cause irritation or buildup.
Are Indian drugstore brands as good as international ones?
Indian and international brands both offer products with a wide range of formulations and ingredients. Rather than judging a product by its country of origin or price alone, compare its ingredients, formulation, intended use, packaging and suitability for your individual needs.
