Chemical Peels & Frye Boots, Oh My!

Boy, do I love some chemical peels. I've been using at-home Glycolic peels for about 6 months now and I can tell a major difference. I would absolutely recommend incorporating a mild glycolic peel into your facial regimen at least once a week. I currently use a 10% Glycolic solution and hope to work my way up to eventually using a 30% solution. This is what I am currently using 3 times a week.
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a bundle of facials from Groupon at a local skin spa. I went last week and got the Jessner's Lite peel. A Jessner's Peel is a mild chemical peel that consists of lactic and salicylic acids. The lite version contains 7% solution and the full-on Jessner contains 14% solution. I decided to try the lite during my first visit, but I already scheduled my appointment for the full Jessner to be done right before Christmas!

The peel was great! The first layer didn't sting at all, so I told her to put on another layer. The second layer stung a little, but not much. I didn't start peeling until 3 days after getting the peel. I will spare you all the gross pictures, but I looked like a snake losing its skin for about 3 days. Now my face is done peeling and the results are phenomenal! I would highly recommend getting a chemical peel!

In other news, I purchased the Frye Harness Boots during the Piperlime F&F sale because I need an edgy boot to go with certain looks. I really like them! At first I was hesitant to keep them because they are SO HEAVY compared to my other boots, but I decided to keep them in the end.

I wore them with some leggings and a poncho to break them in. I really like the moto chic look they provide!
