Expert tips to get more from your beauty sleep
Alpha-H's educator Tom Ogden shares exclusive tips for getting the most from the {Beauty Sleep Power Peel} – an age-defying powerhouse that work's hard while you do the opposite...
{Beauty Sleep Power Peel} is your sleep-in hydrating mask, your complexion super-charger, your youth booster – all in one simple step. If you’re already using our world-renowned {Liquid Gold} formula then simply use the new peel on an alternate night. You can even use it as a ten minute 'flash peel' before a special event or occasion.
'Flash peeling' is also an excellent way to introduce {Beauty Sleep Power Peel} into your routine if your skin's prone to sensitivity. Simply do a flash peel before bed once or twice a week in place of any other form of exfoliation, then follow with a non-glycolic moisturiser such as Alpha-H's {Essential Hydration Cream}. Do this for a full four-week cycle then 'graduate' to using the peel once a week, leaving it on all night. You can also 'buffer' the potency of the peel by applying it over a non-glycolic serum or essence.
This is a 10-minute 'instant re-boot' to max your moisture levels, refine pore size and firm the appearance of the skin. All you have to is follow these simple steps:
{1} Cleanse your skin then apply two pumps of the peel to the face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the delicate eye area and lips.
{2} Leave the peel on for 10 minutes. You might feel a little tingling or warmth as the blend of pure retinol and glycolic acid pulses into the skin.
{3} Wet your face with a few drops of warm water and gently massage your skin – taking care not to get the product into your eyes. The peel will now turn into a milk as the fruit enzymes spring into life, giving you a surge of fresh exfoliation.
{4} Rinse the peel off thoroughly with warm water and/or a soft damp washcloth.
{5} Apply a non-glycolic serum and/or moisturiser (Alpha-H's {Vitamin C Serum} is perfect). Apply an SPF cream if you’re going outside.
As retinol accelerates the creation of new cells deep beneath the epidermis, it has unique anti-ageing properties; it literally 'tricks' the skin into behaving as it did when it was younger. For this reason it is possible to experience a little redness or peeling when you first start using retinol, until your skin becomes acclimatised. To give your skin time to adjust we simply recommend that you start slowly – adding the product to your routine gradually and only using it up to a maximum of twice a week."
And there you have it! The failsafe way to look as if you've had a full eight hours, even when the candle's burning at both ends...
