Spa Saturdays: Optiphi – the peel to have when you have places to go

You know how it is with peels. You have to have one every now and again because makeup and aging and oh, LIFE takes its toll on your skin and maybe you don’t always take off all your makeup before going to bed (okay maybe you NEVER do, much of a muchness) and eventually it all gets a bit much and you just need to get rid of the first layer of nonsense protecting the world from your inner (epidermal) radiance.

Except you dread it because it’s a process that involves burning off the top layer of your skin and making you look like an over-zealous red-nose day patron who’s taken it next level to RED FACE DAY and if you go out within the first few days of having had it done people ask, with great concern, whether you tripped and fell into the bucket of acid, or whether someone pushed you.

But stop – there is a peel that does NOT cause the old acid face, and it’s called the Optiphi Skin Rejuvenation Peel. I had in over the weekend at Yemaya Spa & Hair. My therapist was Annchen and she was just delightful and assured me that my skin wouldn’t react, and it really didn’t. It simply brightened up, and now, three days later, I’m seeing a beautiful clear complexion and enjoying the benefits of the peel – softness and clarity… NO RED NOTHING!
