I’ve never had an obsession for fair complexion but as my skin tends to become dull and lifeless at the end of the day, I went ahead and purchased Garnier Skin Naturals Light Fairness Face Wash . How it works? Enriched with exfoliating pure lemon essence, its formula cleanses and clarifies the skin thoroughly and removes impurities that make skin dull. How to use? With moist hands, work a small amount of product into a lather and apply to face. Gently massage onto moist skin with fingertips. Rinse thoroughly. My review: It’s creamy and has a nice fragrance.

I would love to buy it again and again.

Even the heavy moisturizers that are often added to compensate for this loss just tend to sit on the surface of the skin without getting fully a...
