Glamour Never Takes A Day Off Feat. VLCC Wellness Centre



The Bangalore Bloggers recently had a one-on-one beauty and personal care session with VLCC experts. What comes to your mind when I say VLCC? Slimming or Weight Management?? Exactly! That’s what I had in mind before I attended the VLCC Bangalore meet-up at the VLCC centre in HSR Layout and I was wrong. They have solutions for everything related to skin, hair, body. You ask for it and they have it all. VLCC is one stop centre for all your beauty and wellness complications. The categories that they offer in skin care are sun protection, anti ageing and skin whitening products. They do take care of facial care products that consist of facial kits and salon kits. VLCC also provides massage oil, anti-cellulite products and food supplements.

We received the warmest welcome by the entire VLCC team with some refreshments and cupcakes & fruit bowl to eat. The moment I entered the wellness centre, I could see posters related to skin, hair and body. VLCC makes sure they do an entire study of the daily diet and work structure a person goes through to understand the issue better. All the bloggers had numerous questions in their mind and the moment the specialists entered the room, we blurted all the questions. It started with sun protection regimes and concerns to hair fall issues. Hair fall is a major situation for every person who comes to Bangalore from a different city. I personally have seen the density of my hair reduce tremendously. The solution given by the experts at VLCC was good hair spa treatment and usage of mineral water to wash your hair instead of normal tap-water. There were few questions of acne and weight management that were answered by the experts, meanwhile we all got ourselves a complimentary foot massage at the wellness centre.


If you are an ardent follower of The Kardashians, I am sure you are familiar with Vampire facial or Dracula Facial. Vampire facial is basically PRP therapy, where blood is pulled out from your skin to inject it onto your face. This helps the skin to renew and rejuvenate which also acts as an anti-ageing therapy. Other than that, VLCC also provides under eye treatment which incorporates Derma Heal Eye treatment and Visionergy. Derma heal eye treatment is basically and eye filler treatment which is composed of bio actives to reduce the signs of ageing below the eye. Whereas Visionergy is an intensive eye treatment, the composition penetrates deep into the skin to regenerate fresh skin.

VLCC Style Statements

I had first visited VLCC ages ago along with a cousin who was then undergoing a weight loss program, and I’ve always associated VLCC to be just a slimming service center. Then last year they had a meet up where they introduced us to DNA Skin based skin care and anti aging treatments, which kind of expanded my knowledge about the center. A couple of week’s back VLCC had a bloggers meet in Hyderabad to introduce everyone about their range of services and products.

The meet-up started off with an introduction to their Category Manager Mrs. Sushmita Verma, who would be giving us the talk about all the services, after which we were given a tour of the entire facility. From having an Ayurveda therapy room to a gym room, they had it all. They pride themselves in having minimally invasive, non-surgical procedures and the team explained how seriously they take ethical responsibility to be their main concern. They even had a counselor on board to provide counseling to customers before they undertook any procedure, and to make sure they were opting for them for the right reasons.

The services that they provide range from slimming, beauty services, salon services, laser and dermat services. Some of the best ones are:
Vampire facelift: If you have dull and sallow looking skin, maintaining a glowing skin is hard work. Platelet rich plasma is a form of blood plasma, taken from your own blood that has been enriched with platelets and growth factors and applied to your face with derma roller to stimulate growth and healing on the required parts giving them a youthful radiance.



Visionergy
An intensely concentrated treatment, Visionergy is engineered to tackle problems commonly faced in the eye contour area. Powered by a blend of potent actives, 3 combinative actions work holistically and penetrate deep into the skin to promote regeneration for an astounding skin transformation. Visionergy minimizes and aids in addressing current superficial signs of aging while simultaneously performing at a deeper level to prevent the formation of future skin flaws. Skin feels plumper, firmer and denser to the touch and a natural luminosity emerges. A soothing action targets eye bags and puffiness to revitalize the entire eye area, smoothing out skin and giving the eye contours a minimized appearance of wrinkles and lines.

Gold thread Lift
The procedure uses a unique implantation technique whereby micro-fine gold threads are inserted into the skin with a needle. One single treatment completes the procedure that lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. An invisible gold web is weaved to hold the facial tissues in place and prevent sagging of the skin or wrinkle formation. The thread is made up of real 24 karat gold, which tightens and rejuvenates the face, giving it a fresh and appealing look.

Derma heal eye treatment
This is an eye filler treatment, exclusively formulated with innovative bio actives. It dramatically reduces the visible signs of ageing around eye area by instant wrinkle filling effect. 24 hour-lasting hydration improves skin texture and boosts radiance.

Lash extension and micro blading coming soon
If you’re looking for a long-term solution for your scarce or tiny lashes then here’s where you need to be. They can fix you lashes which will stay for a good 15-18 months and you can stop worrying about mascara or wearing your false lashes every day. Another new service is micro blading, wherein they set your eyebrows in proper shape, give a beautiful color (maybe, natural pink) to your lips, so you when you wake up every morning, you don’t need to spend a lot of time doing make up to look naturally mesmerizing!

Wellness and Beauty Session at VLCC

I have always ignored my skin care routine since I was a teenager. I was very lazy to even apply a sunscreen before heading out. My skin has always been normal to oily so I did not even bother to use moisturiser before. It’s been quite some time now that I have started to take care of my skin on the regular. It happened when I started getting acne on my face due to open pores, dust, pollution and excess oil on my face.

I started doing CTM since a year back and not many people knew about it. For instance, I skipped the moisturising step in summers and jumped directly to the sunscreen most of the times. But after attending the VLCC event, I am sure I was skipping out on something really important.

Let me introduce CTM to those readers who have no idea about what it is and how it works. CTM is basically cleansing, moisturising and toning. This is the only thing which will help your skin to improve, only if you follow it religiously, no skipping girls. No matter what your skin type is – dry, oily or normal you ought to bring this change in your routine from today itself. The benefit of following CTM was unknown before, but now it should be the part of one’s lifestyle.


Cleanse:
Cleansing is the first, foremost step which is basic and very common one that almost everyone follows. I prefer using foam free cleanser since my skin is oily. Cleansing also includes wiping your makeup off with a Makeup remover or olive/coconut oil and then washing your face off with a cleanser. Make sure that your cleanser is mild if you have breakout prone skin. Avoid strong products with harsh chemicals on your face. Also, I recommend using a mild scrub to shed the dead cells twice in a week for your face & body. This will leave your skin smooth and fresh.

Tone:
Toning is the very essential for each and every one. This is my favorite step. Most of the women out there aren’t aware of the benefits of toning. Let me tell you that toning is something which helps you to clean your pores and reduces the chances of breakouts, helps you get rid of dead cells what else do you want in life girls? No to acne problems and dull skin issues. I have literally seen a difference in my skin to what it was like a year back. It’s much better now if you ask me as to what it was like before. We cannot stop going out in the sun and pollution, but we can take precautions and reduce the chances of breaking out. Toning also helps to reduce the blackheads and whiteheads formation on your skin. Use a cotton ball and clear your skin out with a toner, you will see the pore residues/ impurities right on the cotton ball when you’re done, that means your skin is still not clean after cleansing. It needs a little extra care and attention. So, this step is worth your time. Get a radiant, flawless skin right after this step.


Moisturise:
After you’re done with cleansing and toning the next step is moisturising which I use to skip and thought it wasn’t a big deal since I had oily skin but I was wrong. I came to know the benefits of moisturising my face after attending the VLCC event, that cleansing and toning leave your pores open and skin might start looking patchy if you don’t use a moisturiser after that. Even if your skin is oily, moisturising is very essential to balance the natural oils. I am using non-greasy moisturiser from vlcc which helps in controlling acne & excess sebum secretion, leaving my skin radiant & matte. I apply it twice a day and the results are visible. My skin has gone very supple like a baby.


After this another important step is to protect your skin by applying sunscreen 365 days a year, no matter wherever you are. This should be done every day. This was the point which was stressed upon the most during the VLCC event. sunscreen is like a shield which protects you from the harmful UV rays, pollution and dust in the air. It helps to prevent skin discoloration and blotchiness.
So follow CTM twice a day and see the results yourself. You can thank me later.



Another issue which is very common these days is of dark circles.
The dark discoloration under our eyes can be because of many obvious reasons like it can be heredity, stress, bad lifestyle or unhealthy diet. Though it is not a serious problem but if you don’t take care of it, it might get worse and make you look tired, dull and unhealthy pretty much all the time.


The best remedy which I follow is to use an under-eye gel which should be stored in the refrigerator for the best results. Gently massage it under and above your eyes before going to bed. It will give you a soothing cold relaxed effect. Introduce this step to your daily routine you will definitely see good results. Avoid using your phones or laptops after this process as it may not give you the desired results.

Another easy remedy that I indulge in after removing my makeup is use of rose water. Take chilled rose water, soak the cotton balls in it and put them on your eyelids for about 10-12 minutes and you are good to go. It is so relaxing especially in summers its the best part of the day. Your eyes will feel refreshed and rejuvenate in no time.
