Gather ’round because it’s time to address the elephant in the room. As the festival of lights, Diwali approaches, it’s that time of the year when our skin faces its most epic battle – Pollution vs. Glow! The war begins with the villain of our story – Pollution! Diwali may be the festival of lights, but it also becomes the festival of smog. The air is so thick with smoke and particulate matter that even our noses start doubting their ability to detect anything other than roasted cashews. All Delhiites are worried about glowing like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! But if pollution is a villain, peptides would be our caped crusaders.
