The all-new PROSkin 60 Pollution Shield Treatment at Looks Salon brings in a glow tonic for sun-baked skin.
It was a scorching afternoon when I made my way to the Looks Salon in Goregaon, looking to pamper my dry, dull, pollutant-streaked skin in the city. The deep-cleansing facial – PROSkin 60 Pollution Shield Treatment – promised to sweep away every damaging particle of urban grime and dust and nourish my skin with radical-neutralising serums.
The spiffy treatment room brought in a clean bed in air-conditioned confines. My therapist, Savi, dipped into the plant-based line of magic potions in bottles, perfect for all skin types, to begin the double cleanse for extra sensitive skin, ravaged by the sun and sultry air. The soft spread of the fluid across my face calmed me instantly, as she worked it into my pores with gentle, able strokes. Following exfoliation with a scrub, the steam exposure revealed stubborn blackheads crowding my nose and chin. Surprisingly, ousting them wasn’t a torturous affair that ordinarily leaves me wincing in pain. As opposed to hands working a slim tool to squeeze them out, my therapist adroitly moved a device skilfully across the white-and-black head dense spots on my face to zap out the little guys rather adroitly and painlessly. Full marks.
The pore solution tended my skin with its gentle spread, shushing me into a complete relaxation mode. Its successor – the mildly fragrant aroma oil – brought in a sleep-inducing massage, lulling my eyeballs into noddyland as the therapist moved her fingertips in featherlight strokes across my entire face, stepping up the blood circulation through smooth, firm, rhythmic upward strokes. Focused moves that brought in delicate pressing on either side of my temples, circular touches around my sockets and pressure application along my shoulders and at the back of my neck in constant motion. I could feel the stress evaporating and the knots in my shoulders gradually loosening.
The light massage cream brought in a succession of extended strokes across my face, some deep-pressure driven and some light-hoppers. Then Savi brought in collagen boosters by working in a hyaluronic acid-powered serum for the superb brightening effect. Finally, a face mask wrapped up the gorgeous goodness poured into my skin. As she removed the dry application minutes later, Savi brought in a lightweight moisturiser and non-greasy sunscreen SPF 50 + to make me ready to face the wicked sun again.
I left the salon with smooth, soft, shiny skin. The facial gifted my sun-starved complexion with instant luminosity, fighting fine lines with amazing ease.
Get ready to bid goodbye to a knackered-looking complexion with this cult facial fix that gives your face an otherworldly glow.
