“Like many women, I have uneven skin tone. Nothing major, just under-eye circles and a few dark spots. So I couldn’t wait to try Aesthetics Lab’s Blueberry Smoothie Peel. The treatment is a cross between a peel and exfoliator, helping balance patchiness and gives skin a gorgeous glow.
We began with a consultation so the therapist could get an idea of my skin’s history. As I lay back on the treatment bed, she cleansed my face before spreading on the ‘smoothie’ and leaving it to work its magic for 20min.
I expected a strong blueberry scent, but surprisingly, there was none. The nutritional goodness of the berry is packed into the peel so the antioxidants sink straight into the skin once the top layer is removed."
Afterwards, my face was very smooth with the plumpness of, well, a blueberry (but thankfully not it's colour)!
As the top layer of skin was removed through the peel and exfoliation process, I was advised to wear a high factor sun cream afterwards to protect the new cells underneath, making this treatment ideal bridal beauty prep for SS17 brides.
A course of six treatments is recommended to see long lasting results.” – Kai Gerda, Art Editor
“I get spots when I’m stressed. Peels are becoming popular with grooms so I tried Aesthetics Lab’s Pomegranate Peel to see if it could fix my face.
My session began with a consultation, and I was asked about my skincare routine (just soap, water and a swipe of Nivea).
I drive a lot so I know I expose my skin to harmful UV rays and traffic fumes, which all contribute to premature ageing. Hopefully the Pomegranate Peel would help undo some of the damage. It contains 15% L-Lactic Acid and papaya enzymes, which strips the tired top layer of skin to reveal new cells."
"The results were fantastic. I looked as if I’d woken up from the best night’s sleep of my life – amazing after just one treatment!
There’s still stigma amongst men over facials, but if you spend hours taking care of your body in the gym, doesn’t your face deserve a little attention too?
The Pomegranate Peel was quick and simple, and the results were impressive. It’s perfect for the busy groom-to-be or best man who wants to ensure they’re picture perfect on the Big Day.” – Vikas Rattu, Stylist
