THE BEAUTY OF COMBINED FORCES

Ria Bhatia has a line-up of products that boast efficacious ingredient pairings

Technology has been a revolutionary factor in the evolution of the fashion and beauty industries over the last decade. While that’s largely been a boon, it’s also been a bane in some cases. The heightened awareness about everything in the beauty industry is a double-edged sword – too much knowledge can lead to miscomprehension, for example. Skincare isn’t just about a cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen anymore; endless ingredients, actives, formulations and products have come into play. The result? A sea of confusion associated with everything beauty, skincare in specific – thanks to the overwhelming information available on social media. Thankfully, simplified yet effective products that cocktail the most ideal ingredient pairs (and proudly announce them on their labels) have emerged from this conundrum – great for those who struggle with wrapping their heads around TMI. Make space on your vanity for these products that champion potent duos to simplify your skincare routine.

DAUGHTER EARTH HEMP+VITAMIN E PURIFYING MASK

Hemp is the new shining star in the skincare space. This gentle clay-based face mask is packed with hemp seed oil and vitamin E, which, when paired together, nourish your skin beautifully. The mask has a mattifying effect without drying your skin out too. That it also has a skin-benefiting botanical complex with detoxing benefits is a bonus.
