Start with your skin type, not someone else's shelf
The average Indian man's skincare routine is a borrowed one. Either it came from a foreign brand's marketing campaign built for a drier, colder climate, or it's nothing at all, just water and whatever soap is in the bathroom. Neither works for Indian skin, which tends to run oily in the T-zone, sits in humidity for most of the year, and carries higher melanin levels that make post-acne marks linger for months longer than they would on lighter skin tones.
