Months to go until the big day: 5 and 1 week
Wedding Status: Invites done! A full weekend of ‘Blue Peter’ style cutting and sticking, ribbon tying and crystal placement has paid off and I’m very pleased of my personalised stationary!
Fitness Regime: Joined a new gym to go with my new water bottle. First step class completed. Vision in mirror during routine was enough to spur me to book my next class straight away. Much work to do.
Skincare Issues: Skin becoming less dry but breakouts are more frequent
Beauty Regime: MD Formulations everyday and my first MD Glycolic Peeling Facial.
My skin is certainly feeling a lot more hydrated since I have been using my new MD products religiously for the last 2 weeks, however my break outs have become slightly worse. Linda had told me during my last treatment that this was likely to happen as my skin gets used to the new products and they start to work, must stay focused on end goal – no pain, no gain and all that!
Because I have been using the products and my skin is familiar with the formulations I am now able to step my treatment up to have something a little more ‘hard core’. So during my second consultation my therapist, Catherine, looked at my skin and recommended a course of Glycolic Peels. Sounds scary but she promised these would deliver great results (and who wouldn’t trust the lady that treated Peter Andre at The Brits – if she is good enough for Pete she is definitely good enough for me!). And it wasn’t a bit scary or painful – phew. Just 10 minutes of thorough cleansing and then she painted on the fruit enzyme peel to remove the top layer of dead skin cells. A soothing mask layer to take down the redness and I was good to go. So far my skin feels really clean but again I have been warned my skin is likely to get worse before it gets better, Catherine told me some women give up after the first couple and don’t get to really see the benefits. I will persevere, I’m in it for the long haul and will keep you posted.
