Hi loves I've just turned 30 not too long ago and I've noticed so many changes on my skin, I kinda freaked out when I saw those nasolabial lines around my mouth getting deeper and I notice that my skin is easily irritated, so from an anti-aging perspective, this means that it’s time to get serious about caring for my skin which is why I decided to try out home facial peels.

Home facial peels are quite a trend because it leaves your skin brighter, smoother and even-toned. Basically, it acts as an exfoliator, it exfoliates deeper than face scrubs to brighten our skin at the same time it's even more gentle than our regular face scrubs which can be harsh to our skin.

I've recently up my game for my anti-aging night routine with 2 new products from Murad that really appeals to me, the new Murad Replenishing Multi-Acid Peel & Murad Nutrient-Charged Water Gel both products are a cruelty-free and it's formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and animal-derived ingredients.

Murad Replenishing Multi-Acid Peel is a daily bi-phase peel that is suitable for daily use, it accelerates cell renewal by 33% in 7 days while soothing skin to prevent dryness and reduce irritation. It brightens our skin in two phases, Phase 1: AHA, BHA, and TXA help create smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin and Phase 2: Adaptogenic holy basil (antioxidants) and omega-rich oils defend and strengthen skins surface for a vibrant complexion.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

The first time I applied the Murad Replenishing Multi-Acid Peel onto my skin, I immediately felt a tingling sensation that lasted only a few seconds, I notice the formula was very gentle on the skin also it had that sensation and did not cause me any type of irritation like redness on my skin. 

After a week of using it, my skin got pretty much used to it and the tingling sensation was gone by then. Slowly I could see my skin texture improved, the pore size has shrunk and my skin goes back to its glowy self.

After a peel, our skin might get sensitive so it's always a good idea to stay out of the sun, put on sufficient sunblock and make sure our skin is hydrated, using the Murad Nutrient-Charged Water Gel was a brilliant idea, it really keeps my skin moisturized and hydrated instant without leaving a sticky after-feel to my skin.
