While the second wave witnesses a steep decline, let’s not throw caution to the air. Here are four essentials one should carry on their person, to stay above every calamity— be it Covid or sunburn
Masks, masks and masks
Face masks may have been a difficult adjustment for many over the pandemic but it is an absolute necessity today. Even if one is fully vaccinated, it has been advised by health experts that wearing a mask in all public spaces and gatherings is essential as a pre-emptive measure. So, continue to double-mask, people.
But don’t forget, wearing a face mask can be fashionable too! Check out Ritu Kumar’s chic indie-style face masks to pair with your ethnic looks and Puma’s affordably stylish face masks to up-style your western-wear and athleisure outfits.
Smart watches to track your health!
The coolest kid on the wearable-technology block, smart watches are quickly becoming a wellness and productivity must-have for the next new-normal! Whether you would like to utilise a smart watch to track your health, stay abreast of your calendar at all times, or take calls and respond to messages hands-free when you’re on-the-go — these beauties have the potential to add immense value to your life.
Tailor your schedule and lifestyle as per your needs with either a Samsung smartwatch for android users or the Apple watch for IOS users. These high-tech watches will give you a head-start on your goals and wellness in no time!
Sanitisers, pocket-soap and carry on!
Along with masks, sanitizers and soap has been the saving grace of the pandemic era. Soap and sanitizers are an undeniable carry-forward to the next normal. Keeping some pocket bottle of sanitisers or soap on you when you’re on-the-go, makes good sense. Carry chic soap-minis in a tin or capsules with paper soap for convenience and use them freely when you’re outdoors!

Pile on that SPF
Our final essential on this list is an obvious one for stepping out — pre or post pandemic! This evergreen skincare must-have is a one-way ticket to healthy and protected skin. If you start on the sunscreen bandwagon at an early age, you can mitigate the effects of ageing for a long while! Stay worry-free about the harmful effects of UV rays on your skin cells with a good sunscreen that fits within your budget.
Nykaa beauty’s website has a wide variety of sunscreens, spanning preferences and price-points! Pick the one that suits you best and start applying every time you step out into the sun.
Say adios to foggy vision
We’ve got a special recommendation for those who need to wear eyeglasses daily. It is natural to be irritated every time your glasses fog up while wearing a face mask, sipping on a hot beverage or commuting in the monsoon. Switch to eyeglasses with the ultra-functional anti-fog lens coating to keep your vision precise and fog-free when you step out.
The premium eyewear brand, John Jacobs has not only an extensive range of high-quality and affordable eyeglasses, but also an added anti-fog lenses option. Drop in at one of their 22 flagship stores across six major Indian cities, or log onto their website for this utilitarian eyewear upgrade!
