Today is officially the last
day of my 20’s… such a milestone huh? I remember being afraid of turning 30. I
remember feeling like 30 was so far away… I was very young and naive in
thinking that 30 were really all that old. My taste has evolved into that of a
mature woman. I remember my very first “sex on the beach” almost 8 years ago… I
was all about my sweet fruity cocktails, now I prefer my martinis very dirty.
Forever21 and Wet Seal were some of my favorites… I used to think Banana
Republic and Zara were for ‘boring’ girls… I had to laugh at myself looking
back on all of the things I thought were cool.
So, as you
all know I am willing to try just about anything in the name of “beauty” so the
next beauty tip should come as no surprise to some of you. I decided to do a TCA peel also known as a
chemical peel on my face and ears.
I know some of you guys are
like “what’s a TCA peel?” Well, TCA is short for Trichloroacetic
acid, which is a chemical that has been used by dermatologist for years. TCA is
commonly used for acne scarring, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles. The Idea
is that the TCA will strip (burn) a layer of your skin, causing the skin to
flake revealing a slightly lighter and tighter version of skin. I do not
have problems with acne, so I should be ok in the face department. My only
areas of concern are my ears. I am actually allergic to fake and or coated metals,
I should only be wearing pure gold or silver so my ears do tend to break out
once in a while from wearing costume jewelry. I love a fun pair of earrings,
but my ears… not so much. Over the years they have gotten a lil darker and I
just want to get them back on track.
TCA Peels have been used for acne scarring, dark spots, fine lines,wrinkes, dark underarms and stretch marks just to name a few. I just ordered my 30% TCA capsule on Amazon earlier this week. While I’m
awaiting the delivery I decide to give you guys the heads up so that you can do
research on your own if interested. Please do your research to make sure a TCA
peel is good for you. There are several other chemical peels and TCA
percentages that may work better for you… I personally have done TCA peels
before in the past. This is my first time trying 30%.
MyInvisibleChyrsalis was the inspiration behind my choice to try the peel... look at her... just gorge!
NOTE: There is some down time with doing this peel because your skin will flake and shed.
I am Obsessed with Taren Guy! Probing around youtube, I found such a wonderful spirt...This women is very beautiful & charismatic. I love the way she shows a bit of personality in her videos.
Taren also has her own website if you would like more info.
The topic of Botox and Fillers used to be taboo, now just about all of your favorite celebrities (and more than likely, the cute chick next door) have had a little bit of something done. It's so common, I don't even think it's considered "plastic surgery" anymore... more like a quick tune up.
Living in Los Angeles. I can
most certainly tell you there is pressure to look your best! No scratch that…
You must look better than your best. Seriously. It’s like every beautiful
creature on earth decided to move to LA and make his or her dreams come true.
With all that unnecessary pressure, it’s no wonder people turn to other remedies
that are less than natural to say the least.
not one flaw
In my humble opinion… I’m all
for a little injectable… a discrete little nip/tuck never hurt anyone. What you
do to keep your beautiful glow or sexy skin is nobodies’ bidness. After all,
it’s all about what makes you feel your best. Confidence is always sexy! Side Note: Botox has now been approved by the FDA to treat chronic migraines. I just gave you the excuse you were looking for. Now go out there and be great!
