Skin Cafe: Pharmacist-Led Skincare, Made for Bangladesh

Breaking News, Feature

Most of the skincare products we see on shelves, from fancy serums to sunscreens, are made for Western skin and climates. They are tested in places where the air is dry, the sun is mildand sweat isn’t something people deal with all year round. For people living in Bangladesh, that’s a completely different story.
