Skin Care 

Sumona has a mixed skin type which is mostly oily. Thus all her attempts to care for her skin mostly aim to keeping this oil away. In order to maintain an oil-free skin, Sumona washes her face with a Biore face wash at least thrice a day. The regime that she follows afterwards is quite disparate. After washing her face, Sumona applies a sunscreen or sunblock without using a moisturiser (having an oily skin she avoids moisturisers). She uses the Garnier Sunblock for it has a foundation effect. She smears a pore reducing serum from Sephora after this over which she taps with Johnson and Johnson's talcum powder whenever oil accumulates on her skin. At the end of the day, Sumona removes her makeup with a Revlon or Sephora makeup remover. Besides these, Sumona also takes weekly facial massage to remove dead cells and a deep facial once in a month using packs of her own combination. Apart from deep cleaning these treatments also help to keep her skin flawless. When it comes to skin care, all she focuses on is cleaning and keeping it dry.

Hair Care

Just like her skin, Sumona's scalp is oily too. Hence, she needs to work on the scalp to keep her hair healthy. Regular Shampooing and Conditioning are the primary steps in her hair care regime. Her choice in shampoo is TRESemme and she pairs it up with Lolan or Sunsilk conditioner. She also takes hot oil massage once or twice a week to enrich her hair roots and increase blood circulation. Hair spa is something Sumona never misses taking at least twice a month, to avoid frizziness and maintain a silky texture. 

Makeup

Be it a lazy day or a busy one with lots of work, Sumona starts her day with a shower. She uses the sunblock along with the powder to form a base. She then adorns her eyes with Matt eyeliner and Mascara. Her choice in eyeliner varies among Maybelline 24 Hour Gel Liner, Lakme, Nior, Lancome, Miss & Mrs etc. In case of mascara she uses the Maybelline Volume. Warm or natural shaded lipsticks are her favourite. She lines her lips with a lip liner before applying a matt lipstick of her choice among Shishido, Bobby Brown, Mac, Nior etc. Her preference in eye shadow palette focuses more on the pigment and colour available rather than the brand. She completes her look with golden shimmer and any local branded highlighter as per her choice which adds up to her glow.

Regular wear

Easy and comfortable are the two words that suit Sumona when it comes to regular attire. Long tops or Kurtis accompanied by a pair of jeans is what she prefers wearing mostly. On formal days she likes wearing sarees, salwar kameez being a rare choice among all other options. Fancy flip-flops and sandals are her favourite on her usual days because they keep the feet open to air.

Party wear

During parties Sumona always wear heels because they go well with Sarees. Sarees are her first and foremost preference as a party wear, the colour being limited to white and peach mostly. She accessorises her look with pearl jewelleries and light adornments but in weddings Sumona prefers wearing heavy jhumkas.
