Glow on the go!

While on a mission to shed her vacation tan and regain her skin’s glow, Vidhi Arya stumbled upon Mintree’s Estonian Black Peat Cleanup, rapid-relief saviour!

A After returning from a recent two-week-long holiday where I basked in the sun’s glory to my heart’s content, I successfully recovered from the vacation hangover. However, the aftermath of the tan seemed out of my control. So, looking for a quick fix for the tan and to gain a fresh glow, I decided to go for a de-tan skin treatment.

As I walked into La Sheen Salon, New Delhi, the owner Sheena Bohra introduced me to the new express de-tan clean-up by Mintree. She explained that the Estonian Black Peat de-tan clean-up is a quick 30-minute, 3-step procedure, which helps the skin regain its lost glow without making it dry. Drawn by the much-touted goodness of black peat being the central ingredient and the short duration of this clean-up, I eagerly walked into the facial room.

LET’S GET GLOWING

As I settled in, the beautician at La Sheen, Mohini, explained the 3-step procedure and swiftly began the process. The first step of the skincare ritual was cleansing with Mintree’s gentle botanical cleanser. Creating a rich lather, the product felt like a gentle, cool caress on my skin, leaving it soothed.

As she wiped off the cleanser with a soft cloth napkin, next came the star of the show: the 100 per cent Organic Estonian Black Peat Mask. Since I had no prior experience with peat masks, I was impressed with its smooth texture and earthy aroma. The mask was gentle, cooling and very relaxing. Mohini explained that the mask is made with 100 per cent organic balneological peat. She also informed me that it’s rich in ingredients known for their deep-cleansing and revitalising properties. As it settled, I could feel my skin absorbing all the goodness, promising a bright and hydrated finish.

The interesting part about this mask was that, for best results, you are not supposed to let it dry. Ensuring the same, Mohini continuously sprayed Mintree’s Peat Mist every few minutes. She explained that the mist is infused with ingredients, such as witch hazel, aloe vera juice and chamomile extract. As the mist added an extra layer of hydration, it made the whole experience even more delightful and calming.

After allowing the mask to work its wonders, it was thoroughly removed from my face. And, then came the last step of the pampering session, the SPF 50 Sunscreen, which sealed in the benefits of the treatment.

As I left La Sheen, I couldn’t help but admire my uberglowing reflection. My skin looked radiant, felt soft to the touch, and had a newfound sheen — all that in just 30-40 minutes. And, it didn’t stop at that, even over the next few days, I noticed my skin looking bright and glowing. If you are done making peace with tan and want to glow on-the-go, this clean-up should be your go-to!
