It’s the peak of summer which means your skin should shine through or at least be clear enough that you don’t need layers of makeup. While I’m eating my share of papayas and having as much coconut water as I can, a facial can be a great pick-me-up. I recently heard that about VLCC’s BelleWave facial and decided to try it out last weekend.

Where?

VLCC has many centers, in fact, I used one of their customers back in college. They have one at the back of NFC (home to a pilates center as well as Ravissant). The salon is split into two floors. The salon has 2-3 treatment rooms which are spacious and professionally maintained. My treatment room was spic and span. As I changed into my robe, I spoke to my therapist, Jyoti who has been with VLCC for over 8 years.

Honestly, my skin isn’t in the best of its health right now. Over the past month, I’ve faced a lot of breakouts on my chin which was also due to a hormonal imbalance. That, in accordance with just how dry Delhi is, Jyoti decided to do the BelleWave Acne Extinguisher.

BelleWave Acne Extinguisher: The Facial

The facial started with a clean up after which she applied half an ampoule of an agent that helps exfoliate and hydrate my skin. She used the rest of it at the end of my facial. Jyoti warned me it will sting in sensitive areas and she was right. It did sting a bit but was OK in a minute. She then used a scrub which helped open up my pores; a quick clean-up later, she massaged my face thoroughly. Her massage was thorough and professional and the product really seeped into my skin. The highlight of the treatment would have to be the mask towards the end: the freshness of tea tree oil put me at ease and refreshed my skin. Once again, she applied the ampoule that she’d started with. and that was that.

Since my skin is very sensitive, I usually wait to see the results. I did have mild redness after the facial but the immediate result was just how my skin looked more even toned.

A week later, my skin still feels taut and glowy. This facial is priced at Rs 3,700.
