Introduction of Night Robes

Well, it refers to sleeping as an integral part of our daily skincare routine which helps to brighten our complexion and age gracefully.

How to pick the right bathrobe for women?

·       Comfortable fabric

A highly absorbent yet comfortable fabric is what most women prefer when purchasing robes. Some popular women’s robes include cotton (soft and breathable), terry cloth (absorbent and ideal for after baths), silk (luxurious and smooth), flannel (warm and cosy), fleece (soft and plush), and microfiber (quick-drying and lightweight). Consider your desired level of warmth while investing in bathrobes.

·       Appropriate length

Whether a mid-calf, ankle-length, or mini, you can choose the length of the bathrobe depending on your desired coverage and comfort level.
