Fair & Lovely cream was my first cream . I was 9 when I started using it , and No, I didn't use it because I wanted to have a more fairer complexion, it was the only cream that was available in drugstores which my mom trusted. And then I got addicted to it in school because it was budget friendly (Rs 5 sachets) and gave my face a glow. Hence I have a very old connection with Fair and Lovely creams. When I read about Fair & lovely launching a new powder based cream I had to give it a try! And now here it is!
Fair and Lovely believes that the modern Indian woman have changed with times and now spend a lot more time outside than inside the house. Now that women are multitasking and doing different tasks like work, travel, and education all simultaneously , Fair & Lovely powder cream is the answer to all those ladies’ needs, cutting down the time-consuming ritual of touch ups throughout the day. So go ahead and seize the day without worrying about needing a mirror. No longer will women need to overcome dullness by re-applying fairness creams every few hours or applying powder over creams to reduce oil build-up. Fair & Lovely Powder Cream allows you to have that shine and radiance all day long.
After using Fair and Lovely BB cream this is my next Fair and lovely cream I used recently.
