PIPM: Pretty in Pink Megan: Chemical Peels & Frye Boots, Oh My!

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!

{Give yourself at least a couple of days after your first peel because you will look red like Samantha!}

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!

That is so weird! My mom who is an esthetician just gave me "Dermologica glycolic peels" this weekend. I just started using it this week and can already tell my skin is benefiting from it! I also heard the company by the name of Cellbone has good chemical peels and I think you can get them on Amazon for cheap!

A lot of people I know have those Frye boots and I almost bought them but was so scared bc of how heavy they were. So I bought a pair of seychelles instead!(and saved myself a lot of money haha) they look super cute on you though!!

I already use Retin-A several times per week ... I wonder if it's okay to do peels periodically as well?

Have those same Fryes in grey and love them. They are seriously heavy though so I never wear them shopping, etc.

I've done the Jessner's Lite Peel and I looooove it! I did look like a monster for a few days, but it was wonderful after that!

Dayna said...

Did you have to go half a size down for your Frye boots to fit??? Thanks!

I've been getting chemical peels (or rather, I was before I got pregnant) at the dermatologist office and I love them! I didn't really peel all that much. I usually got it done on Friday during lunch and just stayed inside Sunday! By Monday I was fine. I have a light at home treatment I use, I'll definitely check out the one you're using, it will cut down on the cost of having professional peels.

Do you still use your RetinA when doing the at home peels? I had to sotp using mine for about a week every time I had a pro peel
