When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
He said KKIA's growth could be attributed to the hard work and efforts of not only its staff but everyone involved in making the airport successful.

"I hope this will continue as I believe KKIA's growth will increase further in future," he said, pointing out that this was because the KKIA's facilities were being upgraded to become an international hub for tourism.
