“There’s luxury, and then there is luxury… As a beauty editor, I have tried my fair share of luxury beauty products, and my appreciation for attention to detail, a beautiful texture and luxe packaging runs deep.
In my ongoing quest to discover the very best beauty products across all price ranges and product types, I’ve come across many products marketed as ‘luxury’ but that fall somewhat short. For me, there is more to luxury than a pretty bottle or a beautiful fragrance.
In beauty – and in life – luxury is about how you feel. The ritual of doing your skincare twice a day cannot be luxurious if you’re rushing through it. When you take the time to cleanse, nourish, and treat your skin with carefully formulated products that have a beautiful consistency and make your skin feel great, that is true luxury to me.
I was introduced to FutureMe products last year, and the one thing that really stood out to me was the way the brand embodies true luxury. The attention to detail in everything from the formulation to the packaging, the message, and the philosophy was unmatched.
At the launch event, I had the opportunity to sit down with the brand’s founder, Supriya Mody, who explained her vision to me. FutureMe was an embodiment of total luxury; a ritual designed to help you achieve the ultimate self-care while giving your skin the very best in nourishment and protection, yielding visible results. Supriya is a big believer in following your dreams and in the idea that no dream is too big. She is a walking example of this, having built FutureMe from the ground up, with a hand in every single detail.
The FutureMe Arayani™ collection (named after a goddess of Indian mythology) is meticulously crafted to provide an exquisite, luxurious experience. At the heart of the collection is FutureBlend™, a potent formula complex that multiplies the potency of ingredients to unlock benefits at a cellular level. FutureBlend™ technology harnesses potent botanical extracts thoughtfully sourced from across the globe, but more than that, it transports these deep into the skin to unfold their incredible power.
I’ve been lucky enough to try The Regenerating Serum over the past few weeks, and when I say it’s been a treat, I really mean it. Right off the bat, one can see the work and dedication that went into the product’s design and packaging.
The cardboard box is beautifully designed, with a gorgeous exterior and striking floral artwork on the inside. The bottle of serum is heavy; you can feel its quality in your hand. The beautiful artwork on the product box is repeated on the actual bottle, in a gorgeous silver-on-white that reveals different colours when held up to the light.
This serum has a luxurious texture that melts into the skin. It is lightweight and smooth, and it absorbs very quickly. Despite its lightweight texture, it feels beautifully rich on the skin, leaving it silky after application.
To add to the lovely sensoriality of the serum is its beautiful fragrance. Delicate yet memorable, it smells fresh and floral, tying in with the floral designs on the packaging.
The serum looks and feels luxurious – as intended – but what about its formula? Formulated with a harmonious blend of the brand’s very own FutureBlend™ complex, proteins, vitamins and minerals, it was designed with ageless beauty in mind.
Rich in antioxidants, the formula revitalises skin cells and helps slow the ageing process by curbing free radicals, boosting cell regeneration, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin texture and tone.
Our skin is exposed to various daily aggressors, so The Regenerating Serum was crafted to reinvigorate the skin’s oxygen mechanism and shield against environmental and digital pollution.
Years of research and effort went into developing this serum, and it shows. After every application, my skin feels smooth and silky – it’s a real treat to apply. The texture of my skin is more even, my complexion looks brighter, and my tone is improving.
Importantly, this product has reminded me to take the time to indulge in and enjoy my skincare routine. To savour the texture and scent of my products, and to apply them gently to my skin, taking the time to massage them in and enjoy the time to myself.
In the modern world, which is full of daily challenges and stresses, luxury goods go a long way in bringing beauty to small moments throughout your day. In my opinion, FutureMe has nailed luxury beauty by truly understanding what luxury means and how it translates into a usable product.
The rest of the FutureMe Arayani™ collection consists of The Advanced Cleansing Cream, The Nourishing Face Oil, The Eye Luminance Gel, The Hydrating Gel Cream and The Moisturizing Cream. If you’re looking for a luxurious skincare range that offers high-quality ingredients, potent formulas and incredible sensoriality, I would highly recommend FutureMe.”
