Beauty experts have named the ‘only’ two products you need for glowing ‘angel’ skin, and they can be yours for under $200.
The team from the beauty superstore at Mecca revealed that between a $134 exfoliating peel and $52 glow-giving drops, you have everything you need to get a great complexion at home.
‘In their own unique ways – peels taking away to add glow, and drops adding to – these illuminating skincare game-changers are the epitome of “glow” in a bottle, pad, dropper or pump,’ the Mecca team said.

These exfoliating pads take just two minutes to ‘shed away’ an outer layer of skin, before leaving it fresh and primed so you can apply hydration on top.
The vegan peel pads are pre-dosed with five powerful alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs), as well as antioxidants and vitamins that accelerate cellular turnover and remove any surface dullness to uncover your hidden flawless complexion.
Squalane, ceramides, and chinese foxglove seal off water loss, helping the skin maintain its integrity and natural hydration balance for up to 72 hours.
To use the daily peel, dermatologist Dr Dennis Gross recommends you once a day swipe the step one pad over clean, dry skin in circular motions.
After waiting two minutes, follow with the step two pad before following with your usual skin care regime.
You should notice an almost instant reduction in uneven skin tone, with women sharing photos of the results they’ve enjoyed after just seven days of using the pads.
The second item the Mecca experts say you need in your skincare regime is Glow Recipe’s popular Watermelon Dew Drops ($52; pictured after use)
Suitable for all skin types, the drops can be used before or after moisturiser to create a glossy finish (pictured before and after applying dew drops as a primer)

The second item the Mecca experts say you need in your skincare regime is Glow Recipe’s popular Watermelon Dew Drops ($52).
Glow Drops is a ‘multi-use highlighting serum that gives a dewy glow without the use of glitter, pearls or mica’ (pictured)
‘Glow or “dew” drops can act as a skincare cheat-sheet – delivering on a juicy, fountain-of-youth-type glow even if you’ve skipped the groundwork of exfoliation and moisturisation,’ the Mecca team said.
And there are none that are better than the drops by Glow Recipe.
This multi-use highlighting serum that gives a dewy glow without the use of glitter, pearls or mica can be used as a hydrating, brightening and hydrating serum.
Suitable for all skin types, the drops can be used before or after moisturiser to create a glossy finish.
Ingredients like niacinimide and hyaluronic acid work to brighten dullness, even skin tone, minimise pores and improve barrier function (pictured before and after applying glow drops)
Ingredients like niacinimide and hyaluronic acid work to brighten dullness, even out skin tone, minimise pores, improve barrier function, and soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
To use the drops, apply one to two pumps before or after moisturiser.
You can even get one pump of formula, dab off the excess on the back of your hand and gently ‘pat’ a couple of small drops onto the high points of the face in a patting motion.
