WOW Skin Science Shields Bengaluru’s Traffic Warriors from Scorching Summer Sun
India, May 20, 2024: As temperatures soared in Bengaluru this summer, WOW Skin Science joined hands with the Bengaluru Police to address the challenges faced by our frontline heroes combating the scorching sun and dust. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Bengaluru experienced one of its hottest summers in recent years, intensifying the need for effective sun protection.
As part of its commitment to supporting frontline workers, WOW Skin Science presented 250 sun protection kits containing their new WOW Sunscreen Gels to Bengaluru’s traffic warriors. These kits provided much-needed protection against harmful UV rays and helped mitigate the risk of skin damage caused by extended sun exposure.
Mr. Manish Chowdhary, Co-Founder of WOW Skin Science, highlighted the significance of this collaboration, stating, “WOW Skin Science is committed to the well-being of those who protect our community. Our partnership with the Bengaluru Police aims to provide essential sun protection to our brave traffic warriors, who face prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight during their duties. We are honoured to contribute to the well-being of our traffic warriors.”
Recognizing the critical role of the Bengaluru Police in maintaining public safety, WOW Skin Science conducted extensive interviews and research to understand the unique challenges faced by the traffic police force during summer months. The findings revealed that prolonged exposure to the sun could lead to health risks and various skin problems, including infections, pigmentation, and dark spots.
Studies indicated that on average, a person could endure only about one hour of peak sunlight without risking sunburn. For officers exposed for longer periods, such as traffic police, effective sun protection was crucial.

Discover Smriti Mandhana’s Life Off The Field in Femina’s May 2024 Issue
India, 20th May 2024: From a nine-year-old enthused about the sport to becoming one of India’s most celebrated cricketers, Smriti Mandhana’s story is an inspiration. In the May 2024 edition of Femina, Smriti candidly reflects on the challenges she has faced, her unwavering dedication to the sport, and the dreams that continue to drive her forward. In the Cover Story, the sportsperson fondly recalls the day she was able to fulfill her promise to buy a house for her family, expressing gratitude that her beloved sport, cricket, made it possible. Despite her incredible success, she comes across as grounded and focused. Whether hitting a century or walking out for zero, she is known to maintain a stoic demeanour, though the last few years have taught her to be empathetic towards the young team members she leads and mentors.
Reflecting on her passion for cricket, Smriti shares, “I think I’ve always loved cricket, (and) like any other kid, I loved batting more than (the rest of) the game. I understood later, of course, that there is a lot more to cricket than just batting but, as a kid, I would just hit a hanging ball or play gully cricket.”
Speaking about her family, she reveals, “We come from a very humble background. Today, when I see my parents happy and the life that they’re living, I feel happy about everything that has come with cricket.”
She adds that she has gleaned life lessons from the game: “The best part about cricket is that it is a great leveller; you always start from zero. Whether you score a hundred or you have a bad match today, tomorrow you just start from the bottom again. Take that lesson to every aspect of life and you will know what to do next.”
