IT’S ALL ABOUT SKIN RENEWAL

By SUVARNA SHASTRI

My grandmother had simple remedies for skincare. Dry flaky skin was soon fixed by slathering on cream – real cream, skimmed off the top of milk.

A spoonful of besan (chickpea flour) added to it with a pinch of turmeric turned it into a facepack that took care of rough skin. And with drops of lemon juice and honey, you had an eliminator for the dreaded tan.

These concoctions obviously worked because my mother and all my aunts had beautiful, problem-free skin.

But those of us in the here and now who don’t have the time to whip these up turn to solutions in a jar.

Most of which are expensive and many of which do not deliver as promised.

Of course, there are steps one can take to mitigate weather and dry indoor air-related damage and to ensure good skin. Such as drinking lots of water, avoiding super hot showers, products laden with harsh chemicals, and using sunscreen, but really, there’s something about treating your skin with a good lotion that just hits all the right spots.

When I find something that actually works and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, I not only stock up on it, I like to spread the news.

Having tried (and loved) Alpha Renewal Body Lotion, I was eager to try their complete skincare kit.

Alpha skin hydration renewal kit offers a complete routine for glowing, revitalized skin.

The Renewal Body Lotion with 12% Glycolic AHA hydrates and exfoliates for soft, smooth skin.

The Refreshing Face Wash, featuring Citric AHA, gently removes makeup, dirt, and oils without soap.

The Essential Facial Moisturizer, enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins B, E, and Aloe Vera, nourishes and locks in moisture, ideal for layering under makeup.

The Intensive Renewal Serum, with 14% Glycolic AHA, lifts away dead cells, revealing fresh skin.

I begin my day with a tepid shower (okay, so it’s hot to begin with, but then I turn it down!) and use the body lotion for relief from dry skin.

The face wash without soap is a wonderful find and great after an evening out to remove make-up gently. I have incorporated it and the moisturizer into my daily routine. 

The Intensive Renewal Serum? It glides on like silk and I am waiting for family and friends to notice any changes!

The kit is perfect for hydration, exfoliation, and a radiant glow from head to toe.
