What is the Dr Vanita Rattan Glow Facial?
The Glow Facial treatment comprises of multiple treatment steps tailored for melanin rich skin (Fitzpatrick types III–VI) . The facial
Has been developed by Dr Vanita Rattan, a doctor and cosmetic formulator specialising in darker skin tones, it uses carefully selected active ingredients that have been clinically trialled and proven to be effective and safe in melanin rich skin.
Why does Melanin-Rich Skin Requires Specialist Care
Melanin-rich skin reacts differently to inflammation and irritation, often producing excess pigment as a response. Aggressive treatments can therefore worsen pigmentation rather than improve it.
This facial is specifically designed to work with your skin’s biology. It uses tyrosinase inhibitors to safely regulate melanin production, alongside anti-inflammatory ingredients to prevent new pigmentation from forming.
This targeted approach delivers results while protecting the integrity of your skin.
