One for All
If your mom hates the process of using a cleanser, then a toner, followed by a moisturizer, serum, primer and eye cream, then Mèreadesso’s All-in-One Moisturizer is the key. It busts the beauty myth that you need multiple products for your daily face ritual. I hate the long skincare process and love how this one product covers all those essential needs. The tinted all-in-one moisturizer gives a hint of colour without going dry or cakey. And Mèreadesso offers dark and deep dark hues to complement South Asian skin tones.
