There are some days where my skin is glowing. I look like I spent the week on the beach, luxuriously stretched out on a lounger, sipping on a mimosa without a care in the world. On other days, my skin looks like it has been ignored and it sulks, throws up some blackheads and nudges me towards a skincare routine. So obviously, I went scouring for products that could restore my skin, and give it a semblance of normalcy. My ask was products that would deliver on the in salon facial promise.
The Indian beauty market is laden with brands screaming about their products that give you instant radiance, a salon-like facial glow. But I wasn’t looking for a whole DIY facial kit. I don’t want my entire facial routine to feel like whole day of work. Yes, I was being lazy, but hey, I went looking for some great multi-tasking products that take the guesswork out of your skincare routine. Here are 5 products that restore your glow and make you look like you just got an in salon facial
The Juice Beauty Prebiotix Instant Flash facial

This one is a hard-working, multi-tasking product. When they say flash facial, they really sat this product down and explained the job top it. The product is creamy with tiny granules that do the job of exfoliating the skin, but it’s not abrasive at all. The product practically disappears into the skin. You have to keep it on for about 2-3 minutes before washing it off. I loved how my skin felt once I took this off, soft like a baby’s bottom. Which is to say, very soft.

Huda Beauty knows a thing or two about the beauty industry. She’s practically built out two empires from it. Her skincare line, called Wishful, has this product that promises results that looks like you’ve gone for an in-salon facial. The Enzyme facial scrub has pineapple and papaya extracts so I imagine my skin drinking up all the goodness when I slather this on. What I love is that it delivers on its promise. Once you’ve worked the product into your skin, your dead skin practically rushes off your face and your skin glows from getting all that TLC.

Every review of this product talks about how the turmeric brightening mask is like an at home facial. First of all, I love the very sexy golden packaging. Now if you have a lot of gunk on your skin, thanks to your commute, lifestyle and the pollution in your city, this is your best investment to look like you regularly go to the salon where they polish your skin to perfection. The mask goes on easily, requiring you to only work it into your face where it can start doing its job of deep cleaning your skin, something it takes quite seriously.

Every product from Glamglow practically works like a dementor, sucking the gunk of your skin so it looks like you just got an in salon facial. But the glow stimulating mask is tried, tested and approved because my skin was reflecting off light when I was done with this. Sure it is intense but the results are worth it.
