As much as I try to keep on top of my skincare routine as much as I possibly can; sometimes you just need that little extra help. And one of the ways I do this is by booking in for a milk peel at least every 6 weeks.
There are so many benefits to keeping on top of monthly facials including treating acne and skin conditions, prevention of ageing but also reducing stress which can sometimes show on your skin.
Last week I was invited to Aesthetics for you, a clinic with two full insured qualified aesthetic practioners based in South Liverpool to try something a little different.
After meeting both Alison and Johanne I found out that not only do they offer a range of treatments including lip fillers, anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers they also offer several skin peels including a Milk, Jessner and a TCA peel (which is great for treatment of pigmentation and sun damage).
The one I was given was the Milk Peel, which offers a gentle exfoliation to remove the dead skin cells that builds up to improve the overall look of the skin with minimal downtime after the 15-minute procedure. As this particular peel only affects the outer layer of the skin it is ideal if you have a night out planned or if your skin is feeling dull with uneven skin tone – all of which I have at the minute!
My skin has been suffering of late so I was intrigued to see how this peel would affect my skin and I could not have been more impressed with the result almost immediately. Both Alison and Johanne made me feel completely at ease straight away and explained everything I needed to know regarding the treatment, what to expect and some aftercare. The clinic itself is super clean and professional and exactly what you would hope for when paying for a high-end treatment.
After an assessment of my skin and what I was hoping for my skin was prepped and cleansed removing any left over make up. The milk peel was then applied to my skin with a brush. I was warned that this would start to feel a little tingly, which it did but was by no means uncomfortable plus I knew it was only staying on for 2 minutes anyway! It was then removed with cool water, which felt amazing! I then had a soothing honey lotion applied which instantly made my skin feel comfortable and soft.
The overall appointment lasted less than 15 minutes and although I looked a little red in certain areas of my face, I could tell instantly that my skin had that glow I was hoping for.
Within an hour the redness had gone down and by the next morning applying my makeup my skin looked smoother, felt softer and looked super glowy.
So, if like me, your skin is looking a little dull, feeling that bit tired or you want a quick pick me up ahead of the Christmas party season I cannot recommend this treatment and Aesthetics to you enough.
And for the month of December you can grab one of these facials for just £25 (RRP £45) by quoting DAWN25
