Benefits of liquid face peels
We think you’re pretty incredible – shining the light on how to look after each other and the environment. We’d like to help you keep your inner and outer halo polished. Face peels might sound extreme, but our gel or liquid-to-gel-peels are the complete opposite. Welcome to our gentle, somewhat saintly liquid peels. These silky translucent gels are packed with clever ingredients that glide onto your skin and roll up into little noodles, scooping up lots of dulling dead skin cells and impurities as they go. Ready to let your inner goodness shine brightly? Excellent, here comes more on The Body Shop Liquid Peels.
Our best facial peel routine
- Remove makeup
Feeling excited about your face peel routine? We suggest popping the music on in the background and getting a wiggle on. A facial peel routine is best done in the evening at the start of your nighttime skincare routine. Start with your usual cleansing routine to get rid of the top layer of makeup and daily grime. If you’re looking for some inspiration try our amazing Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil, it’s a dreamy all-in-one cleanser that swoops up makeup and grime in one, then you simply wash it all away with water, leaving your skin feeling clean and nourished. Finish up by patting your face dry ready for The Body Shop liquid face peel fun.
- PEEL
Ready? It’s showtime. We like to call this the butterfly, it’s the shape you make on your face as you rub the gel-peel around your face. You need a couple of squirts of gel on clean fingertips, then start swiping upwards across your forehead (that’s the antenna shape). Then swirl down around your nose and move across your cheeks in a circular motion (the upper butterfly wing shape). You’ll quickly start to feel those noodles forming. Next down to your chin (in the shape of a butterfly’s bottom wing). Once all the gel has completely noodled, you’re ready to rinse off with water. A good wipe with a damp Muslin Cloth will get rid of any remaining residue. And woo-hoo, you’ve now got that amazing squeaky clean gel-peel feeling.
- Moisturisers
And now your face feels relieved of dead skin cells and grime, you’ll feel your radiant best. It’s the perfect time to draft in extra moisture for that fresh layer of skin cells to lap up overnight, helping your face feel hydrated and protected. Use your usual night time moisturiser or facial oil that’s most appropriate for your skin type. Our Vitamin E Moisture Cream is a best friend to all skin types, it’s lightweight and fast absorbing, enriched with raspberry seed oil, hyaluronic acid, Community Fair Trade shea butter and aloe vera. It helps moisturise, soothe and protect for up to 48 hours, so you know you’ve got serious moisture locked for the long haul.
Which of our peels to choose for your face?
We mentioned earlier we had three liquid face peel beauties for you to choose from. They’re the perfect inspiration for dull looking skin to shed the gloom and brighten things up. They all work in exactly the same way where liquid-to-gel rolly-pollies across your face, swooping up grime as they go. But they’re formulated differently according to what your skin's inner radiance is asking for the most. Here’s a few tips to help you choose your new gel-peel best friend.
Anti-pollution
When you’re out and about dazzling the world with your sense of purpose, grime is pretty much unavoidable much of the time. Dust and dirt can be the enemy of our skin’s saintly halo, so we’ve developed our Drops of Youth™ Youth Liquid Peel. It exfoliates and helps remove impurities from your skin, lifting dead skin cells and nasties as it goes. Infused with a blend of three plant stem cells, this clever gel-to-peel helps leave skin clean and purified from the day’s grime. Regular use helps to see a fresher, smoother and more luminous looking visage. Go shine!
Radiant
Looking to gleam up for a fast-approaching big life event? Look no further. Our Drops of Light™ Pure Resurfacing Liquid Peel is a specialist quick-fix halo polisher, helping your face appear as its radiant self from the first use. Our innovative gel-peel gets to work on lacklustre dead skin cells, gently coaxing them to move on. It’s infused with red algae extract harvested from the North Atlantic, helping your face feel kissed with confidence. Keep using this dazzling gel-peel 2-3 times a week, your skin will feel more refined and those angel wings will be ready to spring into action.
Energising
Looking tired and need something to put a spring back in your step? Our Vitamin C Glow Revealing Liquid Peel is quite the party angel and is specially formulated to peel away dull, tired cells for a happy, healthy-looking glow. Pop this glow-meister in your face routine 2-3 times a week and enjoy the ritual of gel-peeling as much as the results. It’s infused with camu camu berries, which have more angelic vitamin C than you could shake a stick at. You might just find you’ve got yourself a lifelong wing-person in your bathroom cabinet, together you will dazzle.
