A lot of your favourite brands are now formulating body care with skincare actives. But do they really have any extra benefits? Dermatologist Dr. Geetika Mittal Gupta says ‘yes’. "Keep in mind that the percentage of the actives in your body care should be higher and more potent, as the skin on your body is thicker than the skin on your face." "Look for formulas with retinol to tackle fresh stretch marks and lactic acid-based body moisturisers and lotions to fight keratosis pilaris. Vitamin C can help brighten your skin and remove a tan as well," she suggests.
