These skin creams are loved by our moms and grandmoms too

In India, beauty rituals are almost a cultural thing. We all rely on our mom’s tried and tested products and our dadi’s gharelu nuske. Long before the Indian beauty market was flooded with new brands and a variety of products, women kept it simple with a few homegrown names. The only difference, the products we used as a child in the 90s are still part of our beauty routine in some small way. Why? Because they are so damn good! Here is a list to take a trip down the memory lane and update our collection while we are at it!
