The Glow Letter SSUNSU India · October 2026

Nine nights of Garba, one fast, a few weddings and a weather change. Your skin has had a month.

Dressing table at 1:40 a.m. after Garba: a jhumka, a tangled dupatta, kajal-smudged pads and SSUNSU Moisture Cream under warm lamplight
A note from Ishita. 1:40 a.m., one jhumka, and a skin situation. October asks a lot of skin: humidity leaving, makeup on at 6 p.m. and off at 2 a.m. To the brides-to-be: your wedding-photo skin is being built now. Your skin can hear you panicking. You don't need 15 steps. You need the right few, starting now. — Ishita
01 · The check-in

Is your skin in October mode?

Opens your mail app with your answers filled in.

Monsoon air has been doing some of your moisturising. Now it's drying out, and skin takes a few days to catch up. Studies link dry air with rougher, less elastic skin. No new routine needed. Just four swaps.

Four small swaps for a happier, brighter you. Swap 01: Make the face wash kinder, Cera Ginseng Cloud Cleanser, pH 5.5 with ceramides. Swap 02: Retire the August gel, Hyalu Ginseng Moisture Cream with five forms of hyaluronic acid and Cica. Swap 03: Add a hydration layer you eat, Glow Up Hyalu Ginseng Beauty Jelly. Swap 04: Keep the sunscreen, Niacin Ginseng Moisture Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++.
Your skin has a festive calendar too. 11 to 19 October Navratri, 20 October Dussehra, 29 October Karwa Chauth, 8 November Diwali.

9 nights of Garba, 0 nights of sleep

An outfit for every night. Your skin needs a plan too.

Nine nights comic. Night 1: New chaniya choli, unstoppable. Night 2: Kajal survives, ego survives. Night 3: Makeup off with one wipe and a prayer. Night 4: Highlighter is now sweat. Night 5: Bump on the chin, have named it. Night 6: Skipped moisturiser just tonight, again. Night 7: Skin has questions. Night 8: Concealer on overtime, no union. Night 9: We need to talk.
Before 6 p.m.: Cloud Cleanser, Moisture Cream with five minutes to settle, thin base. After, whenever: makeup remover first, Cloud Cleanser, Moisture Cream a little extra. The Night 5 rule: skip the extras if you must. Never the cleanse. Never the moisturiser.
The Fasting Together Club. He's fasting too this year. His skin isn't ready. One routine, two faces. Night before: both of you, Cloud Cleanser then a generous layer of Moisture Cream. After sargi: cleanse, moisturise, sunscreen, yes him too. After moonrise: cleanse and moisturise at the same sink.

The festive skin hangover is real. Your skin just didn't get the invite. My fix is the Niacin Ginseng Serum: two drops, then Moisture Cream, then a very large glass of water. I'm on my 3rd bottle.
