Skin care for Kolkata: a climate-honest routine
Kolkata skin has its own playbook. Between humidity and pollution, your routine needs to flex with the city — not against it.
Most skincare advice on the internet is written for Western climates and Western skin. Kolkata is humid, polluted, sun-heavy, and home to Fitzpatrick III–VI tones that respond differently to actives, sun, and hydration.
SKINLINK scans your selfie in ten seconds and returns eight dermatology-grade signals — hydration, barrier, evenness, clarity, glow, sebum, texture, elasticity — calibrated for Indian skin. Your GlowScore is the one number that tells you how today's routine landed.
For Kolkata specifically: focus on barrier-first routines on high-pollution days, layer hydration in dry seasons, and never skip SPF 30+ — UV is the #1 ageing driver across all 12 of our city models.
