Skift: Introducing India’s First Athleisure Skincare and Haircare Brand for Active Lifestyles

In this landscape, athleisure skincare emerges as a critical trend. At the intersection of fitness and skincare, Skift, a home-grown skincare brand, emerges as India’s first Athleisure Personal care brand.

Skift is ushering in a new era of skin health for fitness enthusiasts by dedicating itself to meeting the unique skin care needs of athletic people. Founded by Dhanvee and Jay Mehta, the brand is a movement empowering people to take up their fitness activities without compromising on skin health.
