When splotches of discolored skin appeared on my face a few years ago, I realized that years of being laissez-faire about sunscreen and skincare had finally caught up to me. Committing to a skincare routine has always felt daunting to me—even though it’s basically just washing your face with extra steps. Plus, skincare isn’t exactly cheap. Desperate to tackle the visible aftermath of years of SPF neglect, I decided I could steal my wife’s stuff instead of shelling out for my own lineup. Fortunately, my wife is a beauty editor who seems to know what she’s doing, we share the same bathroom, and she isn’t particularly guarded about her products, so I took a look around her stash and grabbed her Universal Triple Action Daily Peels by Beautystat.
Using the peels daily for a month revealed an obvious and drastic lightening effect from the lactic acid, which gently exfoliates dead cells and sends them on their way to the afterlife while promoting “cell turnover.” I have to admit: I was both surprised and relieved to see a noticeable change in my skin after just a few weeks. Suddenly, my skin didn’t look like camouflage anymore. While my only goal was evening out my skin tone and targeting sun spots, these peel pads also seemed to tackle the fine lines splintering out from around my eyes and lingering across my forehead.
