Yesterday I had a peel by the Dr. Dennis Gross team (it was soo good! The results are still visible today - yay!), but earlier that morning, I decided to give some attention to my jawline and neck, particularly concentrating where I tend to have clogged pores, am prone to breakouts, and have some acne scars that I've been working on fading away..
Link to post about DDG peel at Sephora:
Hahaha @lmaster! 😂 The mask itself is definitely not pretty looking but it gives some nice results! 👌🏼
I don’t think Miranda is a stretch at all, @itsfi😉 So glad you included a pic of the the mask, it looks like split pea soup😆 and definitely NOT what I would expect. I just received that sample as well and can’t wait to try it now!
@eshoe, when I saw what it looked like, I knew I had to let others know. It was not what I was expecting. 😳
@itsfi that is NOT what I expected the turmeric mask to look like! I’ve been wary of anything with turmeric because I never leave anything on for the recommended time and I’ve been scared of it staining my skin
You and me both @cianni! 😂 I was afraid of it staining too so I left it on for the minimum amount of time and set the timer on my phone so I wouldn’t forget!
@itsfi I hate to say it, but that Kora looks like something I'd find in an infants diaper! Haha! I've never been one to turn down gross looking masks though, especially if it has great results! 😂👶🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your DDG experience with us! It sounds like you had such a wonderful time and made out with some great products! So happy to hear you saw some fantastic results! 😃
Hahahaha @Shosh85! 😆 That’s what I thought as well. Then I thought “ohhh, I HAVE to show the ladies and gents on the masking thread!” 😂🤣😂 I was surprised I liked it as much as I did; I probably have more than my fair share of exfoliating masks so I can be picky about them.
The DDG peel sesh was a fun one! And still no flaking! I’m impressed.
The Kora organics sounds interesting @itsfi , it doesn't always need to look pretty... sometimes you need those workhorses that can just get the job done!
Exactly @missjeanie! It's definitely what's inside that matters! I love my skincare workhorses!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Love that masking is more fun for you now @byme4u - this thread is the best!
Yay @byme4u I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying your masking👏🏼😄 I’ve learned so much form everyone here and it’s fun, too. The B&BW sounds like a great mask to give your toes some TLC!
@byme4u I'm happy to hear this thread has got you to mask more! Before I joined the thread I was hardly masking at all, maybe 1-2 times a week – now I'm masking pretty much every day! The weekly themes are what really drew me in, they really make masking fun and keep me motivated!
I was so curious about this foot mask! It sounds fantastic! I'm so happy it worked for you! I remember being super surprised when I tried a foot peel and saw my feet peeling a few days later too! It kinda just takes a second to realize what's going on! Haha!
@byme4u I was in the same boat as you, I was masking every now and again, usually once or twice a week and it was fine, but it's become fun thanks to this thread. I actually joined in the hopes of using up some of the masks I had on hand... I think i had about 6 sheet masks at the time... lol.
The peppermint sounds like a lovely addition for a foot mask. Cooling on the feet after a long day must have been nice! Glad you still got some exfoliation happening!
6, @missjeanie 😳? Probably much easier to store than 300😂
@eshoe I did a quick count last night as I was trying to corral them all into a few places in lieu of randomly tucked where ever... I'm just over 300 sheets. I blame this thread entirely. However I also blame it for my new love of masking and my skin looking pretty darn good compared to 2017/18!
Lol it’s easy to amass that many @missjeanie. Sounds like a lot, I know! Yay for happy skin😉
@byme4u, yaaaay! So happy to hear that masking is fun and that you've been seeing results from regular masking. 🙂 I never knew B&BW made exfoliating foot peels! That is exactly the reaction I have when I use foot peels and it starts the flaking process - surprise, like "oh, what is this?!" and then I remember and wait happily for the old skin to shed to make way for baby soft skin! 🙂
@byme4u I hadn’t seen this before. The peppermint aspect seems really appealing.
