If I Could Recommend One Product To Each Indian Matchmaking Lady, Here’s What It’d Be

I’m not your conventional, run-off-the-mill matchmaker. My expertise doesn’t involve gauging two people’s compatibility — or comparing values and height. I notice chemistry — just chemistry. My clients don’t ghost you. If something doesn’t click, they’ll confront you about it. They’ll invest time and effort into the relationship, and never make you feel anything less than beautiful. All they demand is some consistency. And, honestly, I think the ladies of Indian Matchmaking might need me more than ever right now.

Ladies, Are You Reading This? I’m Playing Matchmaker This Time.

Nadia

Nadia needs to be shown a little bit of sensitivity at this point. The girl has had her heart broken more than once on the show, and it’s brutal because she was pretty receptive to the idea of meeting people the old-school way. But there’s nothing a little bit of self-love and skincare can’t fix. Nadia says she is still pursuing love — which is why she needs a constant right about now. That’s where Retinol’s milder, plant-based alternative comes in: Bakuchiol. While Bakuchiol and Retinol boast a similar set of anti-ageing benefits, the latter can lead to irritation, redness, and breakouts on the skin; and more hurt is the last thing she needs. This peptide-enriched elixir is like botox in a bottle — studded with skin-loving ingredients like Bakuchiol, Primrose Oil, and Niacinamide, it stimulates the production of collagen, reinstates your glow, and diminishes signs of ageing without hurting the face. BTW, gotta say it, she had it so good with Shekhar.

Ankita

Ankita had an epiphany on the show — she needed to build her own empire before pursuing love. Now — her Instagram is abounding with some of her most-coveted, best-selling pieces from THERE! Bansal is playing golf, lifting weights, and fashioning her aesthetic with the prettiest boss-babe ensembles. The entrepreneur is busy and on the go; and that’s why an indulgent, thirst-quenching night-time treatment might do her skin some good. This gel-textured, moisture-laden formula plunges into the deepest layers of the skin, and resurrects your radiance and glow courtesy of a wholesome corsage of ingredients. It’s composed of glow-boosting herb saffron or Kumkumadi and treats spots, pigmentation, and lines too — leaving in its trail the subtlest evidence of a sandalwood-scented candle.

Aparna

I’ve gotta say it: Aparna epitomises the concept of self-sufficiency and self-reliance. While I applaud her for standing her ground, and not settling for anyone, I did feel like she was delivering yes-or-no verdicts too soon — her dissatisfaction with an individual was evident, and honestly, a little hard to sit through. It was a bit like watching her navigate her life like a profile on Tinder. Aparna might want to build a certain degree of tolerance toward people — and not just in the case of love — and AHAs like Glycolic Acid might steer her toward the path. While Glycolic Acid exfoliates the skin thoroughly and reduces spots and pigmentation on the surface, your skin might need some time to acclimate to the product to build a tolerance toward it. This texture-correcting peel endows you with even-toned skin thanks to Glycolic Acid’s ultra-exfoliating abilities, and hydrates and moisturises the face courtesy of Pro-Vitamin B5. Other ingredients in the line-up like Sugarcane, Olive Leaf, Aloe Vera, and Witch Hazel help smooth lines and wrinkles effortlessly. This one’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

Shital

Shital’s journey on the show was relatable — and something many viewers from India found themselves empathising with. Because, apparently, we’re all running out of time, and marriage is what we derive our worth from. While she does find companionship in someone by the end of the season, she discusses her age, and how she feels the pressure to tie the knot. This expectation to ‘settle down’ by a certain age has been internalised by most of us. Honestly — I think skincare is a form of catharsis, and it truly does rationalise your thoughts. You’re in control, and you’re putting yourself first. That’s why I’m recommending this ice globe to Shital — to calm her anxieties about the future. It’s a start, isn’t it? This hand-held tool is one of the best ice globes in the market. It improves circulation, depuffs the face, and reduces inflammation within seconds. Just pop it in and out of the refrigerator whenever you want.
