1. Aniket Chitnawis - Arata Hair Cream (All-natural, vegan, and cruelty-free)
"My curly hair is curly and unmanageable most of the times. This Arata hair cream lends my hair the perfect amount of moisture and hold, and keeps it looking and feeling moist all day. And it's made of flaxseed. That's gotta be healthy, right?"
Price: ₹479
2. Sumedha Bharpilania - The Face Shop Jeju Aloe Fresh Soothing Gel
"This product has been a godsend, especially during this lockdown. I use it as a moisturiser for my oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. This also works wonders on mosquito bites and on all the little burns I have sustained, thanks to all the baking. I live in an incredibly hot city, so I often pour this into the ice cube tray along with a tiny bit of water and tea tree oil and rub that ice all over my face and neck. So much relief! Also, this tub is HUGE for the price you pay."
Price: ₹405
3. Sharayu Ail - Cetaphil Moisturising Cream
"I've been using the Cetaphil moisturising cream for my face for the past couple of months. I hate using a moisturiser that takes ages to soak in or makes the skin sticky. Thankfully, this one doesn't do that at all. It soaks in pretty easily and keeps my skin moisturised all day. I use it every single morning after washing my face and it's made a huge difference to how my skin looks and feels. It doesn't clog pores, so it's been great to control any acne. I'm already on my second tube and I'll definitely re-purchase!"
Price: ₹379

5. Shivani Agrawal - Vedicline Green Apple Toner and Vedicline Open Pore Reducing Lotion
"I have had acne for as long as I can remember. I've tried a million medicinal moisturisers and face washes but nothing ever worked until my salon didi suggested using this toner and moisturiser together. It has done nothing but wonders for my skin. The toner keeps my skin well-hydrated and smells super fresh. The moisturiser is not oily at all and soaks in so quickly. I've only been using these for a month but my acne has decreased drastically and my skin is the clearest it has been in over ten years!"
Price:
Vedicline Green Apple Toner - ₹142
Vedicline Open Pore Reducing Lotion - ₹275
6. Sasha Desai - Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream
"Having curly hair and living in a place with humidity higher than most engineering students, I need a thick leave-in to battle frizz. I absolutely love this leave-in as it's just the right consistency that it leaves my hair moisturised and lively but without weighing down my curls too much."

7. Shivani Agrawal - Dot & Key Vitamin C Serum
"I bought this for my mom just last week and it has already become a staple in her skincare regime. In just over 5 days, her skin is visibly healthy and the pigmentation spots on her face are significantly lighter. She applies it overnight and loves how light the serum feels, and it doesn't even make her skin greasy!"

8. Aishwarya Katkade - Sirona Herbal Period Patch
"The first few days of periods are always the most annoying for me, and since this lockdown, I haven't been as physically active, which has probably caused some changes and made my cramps even worse. These herbal period patches are a saviour and stick so comfortably that I almost forget that I've put them on. The smell is quite strong, so I wouldn't recommend it to those who develop headaches from a strong eucalyptus oil scent. "

9. Kshitija Agrawal - Dot & Key Hydrating Sleeping Mask
"I've only been using this gel mask for a couple of weeks, but I can truthfully say that this is perhaps the best sleeping mask I've used till now. I've incorporated it into my nightly routine and it's been putting me in a much better mood every morning when I wake up to soft and supple skin. If your skin needs some hydration (and whose doesn't?), I definitely recommend this Dot & Key mask!"

10. Kshitija Agrawal - Burt's Bees Hibiscus Lip Tint
"This is one of my favourite lip tints ever! It's super moisturising, subtle enough for the everyday work-from-home look I'm stuck with during meetings, and a gorgeous pink-red tint that also leaves my lips feeling soft and nourished for hours. Plus, it helps me deal with the outcomes from my horrible habit of chewing on my lips when I'm focusing."

11. Mugdha Kusray - SUGAR Cosmetics Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick in 18 Divine Praline
"This lipstick is BOMB. The colour and pigmentation are amazing. It's super long-lasting, it's matte, and it's also enriched with Vitamin E! And the best part you ask? It can be easily worn from day to night."
Price: ₹499
12. Shivani Agrawal - Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter
"I've utilised quarantine to learn how to do makeup. Out of all the products I've been using, my favourite is definitely the Master Chrome Highlighter in the shade 'Molten Gold.' Not only does it add a chic finish to my extremely basic makeup skills but also just makes me shine to the gods, which I absolutely love! It is super soft and creamy, which is rare for highlighters and even just a smidge is enough to give you a blinding glow. Both 'Molten Rose Gold' and 'Molten Gold' are perfect shades for darker brown skin tones. They actually make your skin look golden and don't feel like 'caked-on shine.' I might not be the greatest at makeup....yet, but at least this highlighter makes me feel like an invincible golden goddess and that is all I care about!"

13. Sharayu Ail - MINISO Nail Polish
"I've always been one to avoid going to the salon, so lockdown was no different for me. I think spending money on a manicure is incredibly indulgent. It's hard to find a good nail polish that does the job and doesn't take ages to dry. The ones from MINISO are long-lasting and quick to dry. They're available in a lot of different colours and you'll only need a couple of coats to get a fresh set of nails! My favourite shade is definitely 'Gray Violet,' which is perfect for daily wear and still offers a pop of colour!"
Get it here for ₹90.
14. Mugdha Kusray - Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
"I've been using the micellar cleansing water for quite some now and I can tell you that it is AMAZING. It completely removes makeup, dirt, dust and is good for your skin too! The cleansing water doesn't contain any sulfates or parabens, thus making it super-safe and gentle. And the best part you ask? It doesn't even hurt your eyes. YUP."
Get it on Amazon for ₹122.
