Follow the right moisturising routine

While the prime function of a moisturiser is to hydrate your skin, it also needs to moisturise your skin without making it greasy. Which is why, summer needs you to pick a moisturiser that will prevent your skin from drying and will also heal your skin from all the summer damage. Try the Pond’s Silk Cream, a light luxurious non-greasy formula that contains silk extracts. It prevents dryness while the 24-hour moisture lock helps retain moisture to give you soft and silky-smooth skin.
