VLCC Professional Salon Series Gold Radiance Facial Kit Review

I make it a point to get a home facial done by myself every month. With so much of stress and busy schedules, I feel I deserve at least this much pampering once in a while. Though I prefer going to a salon for facial as it is more relaxing, sometimes I do it by myself. This time I tried VLCC Gold Radiance Facial Kit and as always I bought the professional salon series as that offers 6 facial sessions at a better price. If you look at the packing of the kit which is all gold, even you will be tempted to buy it.

My Experience With VLCC Professional Salon Series Gold Radiance Facial Kit:

The look of this facial kit itself is very attractive. The color of the packing appealing as it is gold in color. All the instructions are pretty simple and mentioned in detailed. All I have to do is follow them step-by-step.
Coming to the VLCC Professional Salon Series Gold Radiance Facial Kit, it has 4 sachets of Gold Scrub, Gold Peel Off Mask, Gold Gel and Gold Cream. Since I was doing the facial myself, I was happy seeing only 4 sachets there which means less stress to my hands. I somehow don't prefer facial kits which have 5 sachets.
The Gold Scrub was nice to look at. Though it was transparent, it had small gold granules in it and some gold color particles which made it look good. It was easy to massage on wet face and it worked well. It is one of the best scrubs I have ever experienced in any facial kit. The skin turned smooth and the dead cells were removed to a large extent.

The second step is the Gold Peel Off Mask which was extremely thick to look at. Having used a good number of masks, I was all for it. The quantity is exactly sufficient for face and neck. It took some 10 minutes to dry. Now comes the tuff part. I have never ever experienced so much pain in peeling off any mask. This was the worst part of the facial. A big no to this mask. Aww! Even the thought is paining.

Next comes the Gold Gel which was transparent in color with some tiny gold flakes in it. It was nice to apply the gel and massage it after experiencing so much pain with the mask. Since I had no ultrasonic, I massaged it for some more time so that it gets absorbed completely.

The last part is the Gold Cream which is in light saffron color. It has some of the best ingredients which include Rose petals, Turmeric and Sandalwood. This requires a lot of massage as mentioned in the instructions and it indeed did. It took about 15-20 minutes to massage it so that it gets absorbed in the skin. This gave the skin a nice glow and radiance.

Overall, this facial gave me good results as my skin was glowing and I could feel the radiance. But, it stayed on only for 10 days. I would still go for this facial again for its instant glow and radiance.

Pros Of VLCC Professional Salon Series Gold Radiance Facial Kit:

• Simple and easy steps to follow for the facial
• Nice packing with individual sachets for each session
• Sufficient quantity in each sachet for the facial
• Worth the price
• Adds glow and radiance to the skin
• Makes the skin smooth

Cons Of VLCC Professional Salon Series Gold Radiance Facial Kit:

• The peel off mask is a big pain to remove

Diva Likes Rating:

4/5

Final Note:

The VLCC Gold Radiance Facial added instant radiance and glow to my skin. However, for me, that was maintained only for 10 days. So, if you want instant glow then you can buy this. I would still recommend this!
