Sircuit Youth Accelorator

The Sircuit Youth Accelorator is another popular item from the spa that I work at. This morning I cleansed my face thoroughly and put a thin layer of the accelorator to the skin on my face. Immediately, I felt a stinging-like tingle especially to the areas around my eyes. I think from now on, I need to be cautious of putting product on the skin around my eyes.

But after about 10min the layer hardens a bit to the skin and the stinging-like feeling resides.

I looked up the youth accelorator on the sircuitskincare website. Here's what they say about the product...

******My Review of this product is that it is pretty awesome and I would use it again. I am trying to learn the difference between a peel like this called "enzyme" compared to a "lactic acid" peel. It is difficult for me to understand exactly how it works, but with the "enzyme" , it seems that this is a deeper treatment. There is going to be light stinging, which means that the product is working. The enzyme peel is a deep pore cleaning/exfoliation treatment. So it is deep cleaning, which may help to reduce the appearance of big pores (something I suffer from) and it is taking off the dead skin cells, so revealing the newer skin underneath.

I found my skin to look like it is fresh and my skin color looks more even and vibrant. My skin feels smooth. Maybe not as smooth as when I do the mocha loca, lactic acid peel click here for that review. http://offdashoulda.blogspot.com/2010/11/spa-skin-sircuit-mocha-loca.html

And I see the lactic acid peel is not as deep of a treatment. There was no stinging in my experience with it. So that I can probably do like 2x a week, where the enzyme would only be 1x a week. The lactic acid peel leaves my skin so silky feeling. Its results are supposed to be to aid in hyperpigmentation and protect the skin from free radical damage.

SPA SKIN: Sircuit Mocha Loca

If you didn't know, i've been working at a Spa for about a year and a half. I've been exposed to some exceptional SPA SKIN Products and I'll be going forth with review on products and ingredient spotlights to add to my own skincare dictionary.

Right now, i'll only be covering the Products that I adore. I'm not sure if its helpful to mention the ones that I don't really care for.

Today I am researching Lactic Acid Peels. Here's what my research has discovered.

A lactic Acid Peel is a great way to get quality SKINCARE. It helps to promote good skin health, helps aid acne scarring to even out the color of your skin and overall provides a younger healthier skin appearance.

A lactic Acid Peel is less intense than a stronger peel like glycolic acid. Its the more natural way to go when it comes to choosing an ACID PEEL.

Today I tested out a wonderfully rich peel-like mask by the Los Angeles originated SIRCUIT skincare line. MOCHA LOCA.
