Why It's Great for Bangladesh
Bangladesh's hot, humid climate can contribute to sweating, excess oil and buildup, while regular sun exposure can make uneven tone and pigmentation more noticeable.
This lightweight toner combines exfoliating and brightening-focused care without the heavy feel of a rich cream, making it convenient for a simple face-and-body routine in humid weather.
For pigmentation and dark-spot concerns, daily sunscreen is essential, particularly when using glycolic acid.
How to Use
- Cleanse your face or body area.
- Apply the toner directly using the nozzle.
- Gently spread over the desired area.
- Allow it to absorb before applying your next skincare product.
- Follow with moisturizer when needed.
- During the daytime, apply sunscreen to exposed areas.
For underarms, elbows and knees, the targeted nozzle makes application particularly convenient.
Important Usage Tips
Because the formula contains glycolic acid and kojic acid, introduce it gradually if your skin is sensitive or new to exfoliating products.
- Do not apply immediately after shaving or waxing.
- Avoid broken or irritated skin.
- Avoid the eye area.
- Do not over-exfoliate by combining it with several strong exfoliating products.
- Use sunscreen during the day.
- Reduce frequency if dryness, burning or persistent irritation develops.
