i think Neutrogena and garnier are pretty common here too. for the aloe gel, i love the lakme one but it comes with a strong fragrance. rose water is pretty common and you get it from normal brands like dabur to luxury brands like kama Ayurveda. also if I am exfoliating, i use a salicylic acid cleanser by cipla which is a pharma company and not a skincare brand! also love brands like sugandha, Himalaya and Forest essentials

whoa! interesting, you use aloe gel on your face? how is that for you? do you use it as a serum?

i usually prefer a lightweight gel, and I put it on damp skin right after cleansing and let it dry naturally! i use aloe vera because it gives me a cooling sensation!

You use the toner after the aloe gel?

actually yes. the gel is use is extremely lightweight so I put the gel on damp skin after cleanser, wait for it to dry naturally and then apply the rose water

yeah! depends on the aloe gel though. some brands moisturize too, so don't use it. the one I am currently using is kinda dry, so I put a little bit of my nivea body milk. added to the post thanks!
