With temperatures drastically dropping, you may have noticed your complexion is lacking a natural radiance. That's because the skin's ability to lock in moisture decreases during seasonal changes. If you want to level up your glow, you may want to put Mindy Kaling's most recent recommendation to the test.
Last week, the multi-hyphenate shared a photo on her Instagram Stories of Ranavat's Flawless Veil Resurfacing Saffron Masque. "Truly amazing on my skin! You have to try this masque," she wrote, tagging the brand.
The Ranavat masque contains a unique trio of Ayurvedic botanicals that work in tandem to instantly brighten and soften the skin's complexion. Saffron is a powerful herb that soothes irritation and encourages cell repair; ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb and adaptogen that's rich in antioxidants to help combat signs of aging; and lotus flower is a plant full of nourishing fatty acids and proteins that are beneficial for preventing acne.
Beyond those key ingredients, the masque also features fruit-derived Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and papaya enzymes that gently exfoliate dead skin cells, reducing the appearance of surface lines and leaving behind more supple-looking skin.

Apply a generous layer of the jelly-like masque and leave it on for five to seven minutes for normal skin types or two to three minutes if you have sensitive skin. Then rinse it off with warm water, pat dry, and voila! Though it's only meant to be used one to two times a week, the results are instant, which is one thing customers love most. Since the product just came to market this summer, it hasn't quite racked up hundreds of reviews yet. But those who have left one have had nothing but good things to say.
"I absolutely adore this [masque]," one customer wrote on Credo Beauty's website. "I have dry, very sensitive skin, so high-quality ingredients that do not irritate my skin during exfoliation are a must. This [masque] is one of the very few that truly delivers and provides immediate, glowing results without any irritation! A little goes a long way, so this product will definitely last for several months. Will definitely repurchase."
Another shopper called the product "superbly magical," giving it a five-star rating on Ranavat's website. "Having received an unexpected comment on how wonderful, glowing, and well-rested I looked only a few hours after using this masque makes it my new favorite," they wrote.
Depending on where you live, chilly weather is here to stay for a while. So if your skin could use a quick pick-me-up, add a jar of the Mindy Kaling-approved resurfacing masque to your cart.
