As the monsoon clouds give way to crisper skies, our beauty routines demand a subtle but powerful shift. The humidity-laced glow of rain-soaked days is replaced with the need for richer hydration, velvet textures, and a touch of drama that echoes autumn’s mood and winter’s allure. Think skin that breathes luminosity despite the chill, and makeup that transitions seamlessly from earthy warmth to jewel-toned glamour. This season isn’t just about adapting — it’s about elevating.
By Dr Sonia Tekchandani Founder of Tender Skin International Clinic says,
Combination therapies are taking the spotlight this season, focusing on a holistic approach to skincare. “Healthy skin starts from within,” says Dr. Sonia, Founder of Tender Skin International. “A lit-from-within glow reflects internal wellness, so your routine should be part of a wider plan that nurtures both skin and body.”
This season, less is more; a minimal 3-step routine can often be more effective than an extensive 8–10 step regimen, keeping your skin balanced and stress-free. Incorporating antioxidants like collagen and glutathione drinks into your hydration plan can further boost skin vitality from within.
When it comes to makeup, the trend is effortless and natural. Lightweight products that enhance rather than conceal are key. “Think ‘nude skin’; woke-up-like-this radiance that feels real, fresh, and luminous,” Dr. Sonia advises.
As the weather shifts, hydration and protection become essential. Internal hydration through water or IV therapies, reduced exfoliation for drier skin, consistent moisturization, and mineral-based sunscreens are must-dos. These simple yet effective steps help your skin transition seamlessly from monsoon to autumn and winter.
For brides-to-be this wedding season, Dr. Sonia shares special advice: make skin and hair care a part of your celebration. Preparing your glow in advance ensures you radiate confidence and beauty, making your wedding day truly unforgettable.
