1

Cheekbone (left side of photo)

Pigmentation

Pigmentation on the outer cheekbone

Colour has gathered on the outer cheekbone, where the sun lands first — a pattern we see often in sunny climates like Delhi, and one that responds well to steady care.

2

Cheekbone (right side of photo)

Pigmentation

Lighter, scattered spots on this side

This cheekbone shows only lighter, scattered spots of the same colour. Good news: it responds well to vitamin C and niacinamide.

3

Nose tip

Pores

Enlarged pores around the nose

A touch of sebaceous activity on the T-zone. Worth addressing with a gentle BHA once or twice a week.

4

Between brows

Dryness

Fine dryness lines between the brows

Very subtle — not wrinkles, just dehydration lines. These respond quickly to consistent moisturization.

SKIN CURATOR'S NOTE

“Aanya, your skin's overall texture and tone are genuinely beautiful — the pigmentation we see is the most common concern for Indian skin in your age group, and it's one of the most rewarding to treat. I'm confident we can see visible brightening within 6–8 weeks.”

BRIGHTNESS

Luminous

Undertone can shift with lighting and photography. Read this as a starting point rather than a fixed result.

This is the area least affected by daily sun and environmental exposure, giving us insight into the natural direction of your skin tone.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

F

Foundation & concealer

Look for golden or yellow-based shades (e.g., Maybelline Fit Me 228, L'Oréal True Match W4). Avoid pink-based foundations which can appear ashy.

S

Skincare actives

Your tone responds beautifully to vitamin C, turmeric extracts, and gold-tone brightening agents. Niacinamide will enhance your natural luminosity.

M

Makeup palette

Warm terracotta, peach, bronze, and brown tones will harmonize with your natural undertone. For lips: coral, brick red, nude brown.

Note: This reference shows your undertone direction, not a direct tonal comparison with your face — body skin varies naturally from facial skin in all people.

03 · DIAGNOSIS

What your skin is telling us

Your skin speaks a language of its own. Through careful observation of your photos and your shared history, three quiet stories emerge — each interconnected, each meaningful.

01

The sun has been your companion

CUMULATIVE UV EXPOSURE

Delhi receives fierce sunlight from spring to monsoon, and the melanin-rich quality of Indian skin means pigmentation has been quietly layering for years.

OBSERVED IN

Outer cheekbones (one side deeper), T-zone edges

REVERSIBILITY

High, with 6–8 weeks of care

02

Your skin is thirsty, not oily

DEHYDRATION BEHIND COMPENSATION

The enlarged pores around your nose suggest not excess oil, but compensation. Your skin produces more sebum when it's dehydrated.

OBSERVED IN

T-zone, between brows

REVERSIBILITY

Very high, within 2–4 weeks

03

Your skin has beautiful strengths

WHAT TO PROTECT AND CELEBRATE

Your skin texture is remarkably smooth, with minimal visible aging for your age group. The wrist reference shows your natural skin tone is luminous and even.

OBSERVED IN

Overall texture, natural luminosity

REVERSIBILITY

Already strong — protect and enhance

THE MAISON SAIKA PERSPECTIVE

At Maison Saika, we believe Indian skin deserves a protocol crafted specifically for its climate, its melanin density, and its natural resilience.

STEPS

5 steps

FOCUS

Protect & brighten

01

30 SEC

Cleanse, gently

LUKEWARM WATER · CREAM CLEANSER

A low-pH cream cleanser removes the night's oils without stripping your skin's natural barrier.

Why this matters: Your skin's barrier is its first line of defense against Delhi's climate.

02

20 SEC

Tone & prepare

HYDRATING ESSENCE · NO ALCOHOL

A hydrating essence prepares your skin to absorb the next layers. Pat gently with your palms.

Look for: hyaluronic acid, glycerin, beta-glucan.

03

40 SEC

Treat with vitamin C

10–15% L-ASCORBIC ACID · YOUR STAR INGREDIENT

This is the most important step for your pigmentation concerns. A few drops, pressed in — that's all you need.

EXPECTED TIMELINE

Visible brightening: 4 weeks · Significant fading: 8–12 weeks

04

30 SEC

Moisturize with intention

LIGHTWEIGHT LOTION · NIACINAMIDE 5%

A lightweight lotion rather than a heavy cream for Delhi's climate. Niacinamide complements vitamin C.

Avoid: heavy occlusives, fragrance, high-concentration retinols in the morning.

05

30 SEC

Shield, always

SPF 50+ PA++++ · THE NON-NEGOTIABLE STEP

Indoors or outdoors — this step is never skipped. A Japanese-style sunscreen with a light, silky finish works beautifully under makeup.

SKIN CURATOR'S NOTE

“Aanya, if you do only one thing from this report, let it be this. SPF is the most powerful anti-aging, anti-pigmentation tool we have.”

A GENTLE REMINDER

Consistency is more powerful than intensity. Five quiet minutes every morning will transform your skin more than an elaborate routine you only manage twice a week.

06 · INGREDIENTS

Ingredients to embrace

4 partners chosen specifically for your skin

Skincare ingredients can feel overwhelming — a sea of Latin names and percentages. Here are four that matter specifically for your skin.

01

Vitamin C★ Star ingredient

L-ASCORBIC ACID · 10–15%

The most proven ingredient for pigmentation. It brightens existing spots, prevents new melanin production, and boosts your skin's natural radiance.

WHEN TO USE

Every morning, before SPF

VISIBLE RESULTS

Brightness in 4 weeks

02

Niacinamide

VITAMIN B3 · 5%

A remarkably gentle ingredient that reduces pore visibility, evens tone, and strengthens your skin barrier.

WHEN TO USE

Morning and evening

VISIBLE RESULTS

Smoother pores in 6 weeks

03

Retinal

ENCAPSULATED · 0.05%

A gentler cousin of retinol, with the same benefits and less irritation. Retinal speeds up cell turnover.

WHEN TO USE

Evening, 2× weekly start

VISIBLE RESULTS

Refined texture in 8 weeks

04

Ceramides

CERAMIDE NP, AP, EOP · BARRIER REPAIR

The silent hero. Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that hold your skin cells together — like mortar between bricks.

WHEN TO USE

Morning and evening

VISIBLE RESULTS

Hydration in 2 weeks

Ingredients to avoid, for now

Some popular ingredients can set back your progress. These aren't bad — just not right for your skin at this moment.

Fragrance / parfum

Can trigger inflammation in melanin-rich skin.

Alcohol denat

Strips the barrier you're working to rebuild.

Physical scrubs

Can worsen post-inflammatory pigmentation.

High AHA (>10%)

Too aggressive for your skin's current state.
