I love my exfoliators, exfoliating masks and always wanted to try glycolic peel. I have heard that No7 used to do a great one in the past and few weeks ago they brought a new glycolic peel kit out.
What is a glycolic peel?
Glycolic peel is a way to renew the skin's surface by sweeping away the dull, dead skin cells and helping with uneven skintone to bring brighter, smoother and more youthful skin.
Most people use it if they are trying to treat ageing, but I am going for it to help my discoloration.
There are 3 steps.
1st is the peel. You apply it to the cotton pad and apply from forehead, movie to cheeks, nose and chin. Leave it for 10 minutes and remove.
Apply Post peel neutralizer on to the cotton pad and apply several times all over treated areas.
Rinse after with cool water.
Step number 3. Apply Calming recovery balm.
To be honest, I didn't think it is this easy. The main thing you have to keep in mind, that the first step: the actual peel can't be on the skin more than 10 minutes as it would irritate the skin.
After using this peel my skin was smooth, but I didn't feel anything happening while I was having the peel on my skin. No tingling feeling, nothing. Sometimes with my exfoliation masks I can feel that the exfoliation is happening. This could be taken as a bad or a good thing.
If you like to feel that something is happening, don't go for this peel. If you on the other hand want something gentle, I would definitely recommend.
Skin was definitely changed- it looked healthier and more radiant. Even my colleague said so.
From one package you can do 8 peels, as you should do a peel a week, it should last 8 weeks. The price is
£24.95:)
Have you tried any glycolic peels? Any favourites?
