Skin polish is one of the most requested parlor treatments in Pakistan, especially before weddings and Eid. It gives the face and hands an instant, even glow. The good news is that you can get a similar result at home in under 20 minutes, without the parlor price.

What is skin polish?

Skin polish is a gentle treatment that lifts away dull, dead skin and brightens the surface, leaving the skin smoother and more even in tone. Unlike bleach, it does not lighten facial hair. It works on the skin itself to bring back freshness and glow.

Benefits of skin polish

• Instant brightness and an even-looking skin tone
• Softer, smoother skin texture
• Helps makeup sit better and last longer
• Reduces the dull, tired look caused by sun and pollution
• Works on the face, neck, hands and feet

How to do skin polish at home

1. Wash your face with a gentle face wash and pat dry.
2. Do a patch test on a small area first if it is your first time.
3. Apply an even layer of Baba Skin Polish on the face and neck, avoiding the eyes and lips.
4. Massage gently in small circles for 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Leave it on for the time written on the pack, then rinse with cool water.
6. Finish with a light moisturiser and sunblock if you are going out.

How often should you polish?

Once every two weeks is enough for most skin types. Before a big event, do it two to three days in advance so any redness settles and the glow is at its best on the day.

Skin polish vs bleach: what is the difference?

• Skin polish brightens and smooths the skin surface.
• Bleach lightens fine facial hair so it blends with your skin.
• Many parlors do both: bleach first, then polish a few days later for the best glow. Read our bleach cream guide to pick the right bleach.

Which pack should you choose?

The Skin Polish 20ml pack is perfect for a single session at home. For regular use, or for beauty parlors, the Skin Polish 200ml bottle gives far better value. See both in our skin polish collection.

Tips for the best glow

• Do not polish on broken, sunburnt or irritated skin.
• Avoid scrubbing or waxing on the same day.
• Drink enough water and keep your skin moisturised between sessions.
