This weekend I have a party to get ready for, which means I’m looking for a treatment that gives me fast results and saves me a trip to the spa to get my skin looked at. Luckily, I already knew there was something I wanted to try that promises to resurface your skin, and give you fresh results without a huge price tag.
We all know the feeling of having a big event to get ready for, some of us book treatments in advance, others (like me) decide they can do it themselves. Hair, nails, makeup, skin. It’s all easy when you create a get-ready-with-me routine and pretend you’re the star of your own YouTube video. And I decided to try the hype and get a milk peel on the day. I’m just going to say, it’s not often that I have to drop everything and write an article about a product, but seriously, if you want to DIY better skin – try these…
1. When you’ve only got five minutes to get better skin
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Medi-Spa Peel available here.
This peel is perfect if you’ve left it until the last minute to fix your skin. If you’re noticing dryness or dullness that no amount of makeup can cover up and can’t make a last minute appointment with a facialist, you’re in luck. It works instantly without irritating or stinging your skin.
First, use the presoaked pad on your face and neck until the pad is dry. Wait 3-5 minutes and then smooth the firming peptide milk over your skin and massage. You don’t have to rinse it either, so you can do it while prepping your hair. I personally have this one and love it for use throughout the week to reveal bright, smooth skin when the week is wearing my skin out. Love it.
2. When you want a spa treatment at home
DoYou 2 Step Face Therapy available here.
Okay, I really like this one from DoYou. It makes you feel as though you’re doing an at-home spa treatment, first of all, the cotton ball is soaked in the AHA Milk-peel formula, so you swab it all over your face and don’t have to worry that it hurts or anything. Next, put the soy milk mask on for 20-30 minutes and let your skin soak. It feels too luxurious to be this good! You only have to look at the before and after photos to see that it basically resurfaces your skin in half an hour. Incredible.
3. When you want to look young and radiant
Dr. Jart+ Dermaclear Micro Milk Peel available here.
When you want people to say “You look different” without being able to put their finger on why this is the milk peel for you. The Dr.Jart+ range feels like you’re investing in a serious treatment (for a seriously affordable price) and hard-working, your skin will be refreshed and look smoother in just a few minutes. I have this one too, and you might think I’m crazy for owning so many but they each do different things. This one is great if you want plump, youthful, radiant skin as it contains keratin and coconut milk. It’s also really hydrating too, so will make your skin the perfect base for makeup.
4. When you want long-lasting results
Kate Somerville Clinic-To-Go Resurfacing Peel Pad available here.
This lactic acid peel will give you subtle results at first, but with continued use of around 28 days, you will get some skin goals! Kate Somerville is a serious skin savior, it’ll shrink spots overnight, reduce dryness and give you a brighter, even skintone. I wasn’t convinced until I saw the reviews, so many people say it’s changed their lives that I had to get it. I’ve decided to start a monthly treatment with it before I go on holiday, I’m already loving every other milk-peel I use, so why not?
