By Teyana Sharma By Teyana Sharma The Pre-Makeup Glow Audit: How Nykaa Rice Water And Glycolic Acid Perfected My Foundation Finish 12 November 2025 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement Every beauty editor has a secret handshake with their favorite foundation—a moment of silent, knowing appreciation for that flawless coverage. But let’s be honest: even the most expensive foundation is only as good as the canvas beneath it. For years, I chased the perfect primer, hoping for a miracle product that could smooth texture, eliminate dullness, and blur pores all at once. What I needed wasn't a product to sit on my skin, but a ritual to refine it. I needed an ultimate glow-prep routine. It took abandoning the heavy, silicone-laden primers and turning back to the fundamentals to find my Holy Grail—a simple, dual-step prep powered by the ancient secrets of rice water paired with the modern brilliance of Glycolic Acid. The true makeup hack isn't a setting spray or a contour trick; it’s a commitment to a smooth, radiant base that needs minimal coverage. Enter the game-changing duo from Nykaa : a cleansing ritual that polishes without stripping, and a milky mist that primes with pure hydration. Step 1: The Reset Button I've long been a skeptic of exfoliating cleansers, fearing the tight, dry feeling they often leave behind. But the Nykaa Collection Rice Water & Glycolic Acid Facewash is a revelation in gentle efficacy. It’s a moment of mindful cleansing that feels rich and non-stripping, yet delivers powerful resurfacing action. The star ingredients here, Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Rice Water , work in perfect synergy. Glycolic Acid is the gentle sculptor, delicately lifting away dead skin cells to smooth texture and refine pores. Meanwhile, the centuries-old wisdom of Rice Water—packed with vitamins and minerals—brightens the complexion and evens out tone. The result isn't just clean skin; it's skin that has been polished to a glass-like sheen, ready to drink up the next step. Step 2: The Glass Skin Veil If the facewash is the polish, the Nykaa Collection Milky Toner Mist With Rice Water & Glycolic Acid is the ultimate blurring, dewy veil. This product is the absolute key to achieving that luminous, expensive-looking makeup finish. Forget sticky primers. This isn't just a toner—it's a multi-tasking prep spray and a moisturizing milk combined into one lightweight mist. The "milky" texture delivers a burst of hydration that instantly plumps the skin and locks in moisture without a trace of oil. The continued application of Rice Water brightens, while the Glycolic Acid gently encourages collagen production, softening the appearance of fine lines over time. For me, this mist replaces my traditional primer. I spritz it liberally after cleansing and before my moisturizer (if needed), allowing the fine mist to settle. It creates a dewy, non-greasy canvas that grips makeup beautifully. My foundation glides over my skin rather than sinking into it, and that dreaded cakey appearance around the nose and forehead is virtually eliminated. It truly gives the skin an instant, bright radiance boost. This two-step routine is less about applying makeup and more about prepping a flawless, bright surface. The combination of gentle exfoliation and dewy, oil-free hydration ensures your skin is at its radiant best before the first drop of foundation even touches it. In the pursuit of that coveted ‘I woke up like this’ glow, remember this: the secret lies not in the makeup you apply, but in the canvas you create. The Nykaa Rice Water & Glycolic Acid pairing doesn't just treat your skin; it optimizes it. Trust me, your foundation will thank you.

By Teyana Sharma By Teyana Sharma The Nykaa Cosmetics Edit: Decoding Top 5 Brightening Face Washes And Cleansers For Your Creative Canvas 4 November 2025 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement Let’s be real. In the world that runs on deadlines, mood boards, and endless travel—the world we live in—your skin is the first thing that tells the story. And darling, that story needs to be radiant, not ragged. We spend so much time perfecting the frame, the light, and the vibe , but none of it works if your canvas is tired, dull, or throwing a barrier tantrum. As a beauty influencer, I'm constantly testing. I need products that are efficient, impactful, and utterly dependable . My sink side isn't for decoration; it's a meticulously curated lab. The idea that a cleanser is just 'soap' is a myth we’re retiring immediately. Your cleanser is your first treatment—your skin's daily reset button. I’ve pulled the five formulas from Nykaa Cosmetics that truly belong in a professional kit. These heroes, packed with Glycolic Acid, Niacinamide, and Rice Water , are the reason my skin still glows after a 48-hour flight or a week of heavy makeup. Consider this your cheat sheet for flawless, filter-free radiance. My Five Indispensable Cleanser Secrets I've categorized these based on the skin mood you’re currently battling. Choose the one that speaks to your skin's emergency. 1. When You Need To Look Instantly Expensive: The Exfoliation Heroes If you feel like your skin has a film over it—a layer of dullness that just won’t quit—it’s time for a controlled micro-resurface. These two deliver that fresh, smooth feel that makes foundation feel like silk. L'Oreal Paris Glycolic Bright Daily Foaming Face Cleanser (100ml) : This is what I reach for when I have zero time for dullness . It's potent. The Glycolic Acid gets straight to work, lifting that weary layer and giving you an instant shot of clarity. It truly makes the skin look brighter after just one use. It's the pre-event secret. High-impact, quick results. If your skin is resilient and needs a wake-up call, this is it. Minimalist 7% ALA & AHA Brightening Face Cleanser (100ml) : For the ingredient-obsessed among us, this is a masterclass in formulation. Pairing AHA (Glycolic Acid) with 7% ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) gives you deep texture refinement plus serious antioxidant power. It’s tackling roughness and protecting against environmental stress simultaneously. Smart, multi-tasking, and perfect for when your pores start looking a little too friendly with the camera lens. 2. When Breakouts and Shine Are the Enemy: The Balancing Act If your creative genius is accompanied by an oily T-zone and congested pores, you need a smart solution. You need balance, not stripping. Plum 2% Niacinamide Face Wash With Rice Water (100ml) : I adore Niacinamide . It’s the ultimate good-guy ingredient. The 2% concentration here is fantastic for regulating that annoying mid-day shine and subtly tightening up the appearance of pores. It's brilliant prevention. A gentle approach to oil control. The Rice Water ensures your face feels plump and hydrated, not tight and squeaky—a rookie mistake in oily skin care. 3. When Your Skin Is Throwing a Tantrum: The Recovery Crew If you're dealing with redness, irritation, or post-retinol sensitivity, the only goal is to cleanse gently and support the barrier. Treat your skin like the fragile, brilliant thing it is. Dot & Key Barrier Repair + Hydrating Gentle Face Wash (100ml) : This is my emergency reset button . It’s ultra-gentle, non-stripping, and formulated to respect the skin’s acid mantle. When my skin feels sensitized from a heavy peel or too much travel, I switch to this immediately. Calming, restorative, and essential for ensuring your expensive serums actually work, instead of trying to fix a damaged barrier first. Nykaa Naturals Rice Water & Glycolic Acid Face Wash (100ml) : I’m including this one again because it’s the best choice for daily maintenance . It proves you can have the clarifying benefits of Glycolic Acid without the drama, thanks to the incredibly soothing nature of Rice Water . It’s the cleanser I always recommend to friends who want to "dip their toe" into active ingredients. Consistent glow, zero irritation. The perfect balance of gentle and effective. Don't Be Loyal—Be Smart The biggest mistake I see people make is sticking to one cleanser. Don't be loyal, be smart. Your skin changes daily based on stress, diet, climate, and your routine. Keep a Glycolic one for brightness (L’Oreal or Minimalist). Keep a Barrier one for comfort (Dot & Key or Nykaa Naturals). Invest in these formulas. They are the scaffolding for every other beautiful product you use. When your canvas is clean, bright, and calm, your genius can finally shine through.

Let’s start at the top, your scalp. If your hairbrush is starting to look like a thatched roof, this gentle yet effective shampoo could be the intervention you need. Powered by a potent blend of rice water, multi-peptides, rosemary, and caffeine, this shampoo is a scalp-friendly, sulfate-free solution that strengthens hair from the roots while promoting growth and reducing breakage. Its lightweight formula produces a rich lather without drying out your scalp, making it ideal for oily to combination scalps. What users love? “My hair feels stronger after just a week,” says one reviewer. Others swear by its mild fragrance and how it helps reduce both dandruff and hair fall. At just ₹495, this is the kind of everyday essential your shower shelf deserves. Furthermore, when it comes to flakes and itchiness it’s more than just an inconvenience, they can tank your confidence. WishCare’s dandruff-control shampoo tackles the issue from the roots with AHA and BHA, two exfoliants that gently lift away buildup and dead skin while maintaining your scalp’s moisture balance. Unlike harsh anti-dandruff shampoos, this one hydrates as it exfoliates, keeping sensitivity at bay and restoring scalp health with regular use. It’s especially ideal for those who suffer from recurring dandruff but hate the drying effects of typical formulas. Bonus points for being vegan, cruelty-free, and sulfate-free, proving that gentle doesn’t mean ineffective.

It sinks into oily and acne-prone skin like a dream, mattifying instantly while improving your skin barrier over time. It’s rare to find a sunscreen that plays well under makeup, doesn’t clog pores, and still provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ protection, but this one checks all those boxes. Reviewers rave about how it “feels like skincare” and how it’s helped calm breakouts while keeping skin shine-free all day. What is astonishing is that all these three products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from sulfates and parabens, proving that clean beauty can be powerful too. With each priced at an affordable ₹495 and backed by Nykaa’s trusted platform, you don’t have to compromise on results, ethics, or price. Whether you're looking to stop hairfall in its tracks, clear out stubborn dandruff, or finally find a sunscreen that doesn’t make you greasy, WishCare’s power trio on Nykaa is your shortcut to visible, lasting results.
