This post is a bit different than my normal travel related posts, but it’s my blog and I get to do what I want! Beautycounter and clean products is a huuuuge part of my life and something I often help others with so why not share with the Ashley on the Move community? Today, I’m outlining one of the most popular products for you in this review of Beautycounter’s Overnight Resurfacing Peel. Is it worth the hype?

Beautycounter

The overnight resurfacing peel is one of the first products I got to try as a brand new Beautycounter consultant. I was a little skeptical, because it boasts some pretty amazing benefits. No way it’s that good? Spoiler alert: It is. So let’s get into the overnight resurfacing peel review, shall we?

What is the overnight resurfacing peel?

Beautycounter’s Counter+ Overnight Resurfacing Peel is a leave on chemical peel that uses gentle, yet powerful acids to exfoliate your skin and reveal glowing, bright fresh skin in the morning when you wipe it away. It features glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, and arginine and fatty acids that work together to produce desired results.

Benefits of the peel include:

Beautycounter Overnight Resurfacing Peel
  • increasing cell turnover to rid of dead surface skin cells
  • reduce fine lines
  • reduce pore size
  • improve brightness and improve dullness
  • smoother skin
  • gently exfoliating

For the science loving gals (or just curious Cathys)…

  • Glycolic acid works to improve skin texture, resurface skin cells, and exfoliate
  • Lactic acid stimulates cell renewal for radiance and smoothness
  • Citric acid brightens, renews, and refines skin
  • Arginine and fatty acids condition and moisturize skin

The overnight peel also has malic, phytic, and ascorbic acid to gently resurface. To hydrate, Beautycounter formulated the peel with sodium hyaluronate versus hyaluronic acid. This is because sodium hyaluronate is a smaller molecule, so it’s more easily absorbed into the skin.

What makes it “clean?”

Beautycounter bans over 1800+ harmful or potentially harmful ingredients through a rigorous 5 step screening process. The Overnight Resurfacing Peel is free of PEGs, formaldehyde releasing preservatives, and provides soothing acids as to not be irritating. It is free of fragrance (which is often used as a loophole to add any ingredient you want without disclosing it!) and is safe for pregnancy!

It’s also clean in that it’s cruelty free and vegan. You can also recycle the paper box it comes in and the glass bottle once you’re finished using Terracycle.

Does the overnight resurfacing peel work?

Here’s what I’ve noticed since using the Overnight Resurfacing Peel 2-3x per week:

  • Smoother, softer skin
  • Less dull and more bright, especially the morning after I use it
  • Reduced pore size, especially on my nose

Here’s a picture with no make up. Totally fine, right? But you can clearly see my pores and freckles/sun spots on my nose.

Afternoon before using the overnight resurfacing peel

Here’s a picture the morning AFTER using the Overnight Resurfacing Peel. I have on mascara and brow gel, but other than that I’ve only used moisturizer and sunscreen. So much brighter and smoother.

Morning after using the Overnight Resurfacing Peel

I get the MOST compliments on my skin when I use the overnight resurfacing peel and the supreme cream at night, followed by the adaptive moisturizer with a dot of brightening oil in the morning! It makes my skin truly glow.

How do I use the Overnight Resurfacing Peel?

While it’s a bit pricy for some, a little goes a LONG way. A bottle of the overnight peel will often last me 6-8 months with consistent use.

You only use 1-3 pumps (I find one pump is plenty, but 2 may be better if you use it on your hands and neck as well) and you use it 2-3x per week in the PM only.

Consistency and proper amount of the peel

The key here is to apply it after cleansing and prepping with a toner. This is your “treat” step, so it comes third in your skincare routine. Apply it alllll over your face and neck. If I have extra product leftover, I like to put it on the backs of my hands! Then I let it dry for 3-5 minutes. I’ll usually brush my teeth or change into pajamas or fold laundry while I wait for it to dry. It will feel tingly, which is a little off-putting to some but I like it! It makes me feel like it’s really working, ha. Then I follow up with a nice hydrating night cream (the Countertime Supreme Cream is my favorite!)

Go to sleep, and in the morning just wash your face like normal. You’ll immediately see results. At least, I did! That is one of my favorite thing about this product… you don’t have to wait 6-8 weeks to really get the benefits. Although, being consistent is key to seeing the more significant changes like reduced fine lines and reduced pore size.

Helpful Tips for using the Overnight Resurfacing Peel

  • Follow up with a moisturizer. You need this to protect and hydrate your skin.
  • You should be wearing a sunscreen everyday, but ESPECIALLY use a daily sunscreen while using this product.
  • Skip facial oils the night you use this product. It may reduce the effectiveness.
  • It is safe for pregnancy, but as always be sure to check with your physician.
  • If the tingly is super intense the first night, don’t use it every other night but wait 4-5 nights before using it again. You can build up your tolerance to 4-5x per week!
Applying the overnight resurfacing peel

So, do I recommend the Overnight Resurfacing Peel?

Yes, yes I do! It’s one of my favorite Beautycounter products. I especially love that this is something you can add in to any skincare routine, no matter what brand. It’s a great starting point with some amazing skin benefits.

You can also get the Overnight Peel for free as a Band of Beauty member…

How can I save money on the peel?

If you are looking to either switch your products to safer OR just want to save money, and plan to make 2-3+ purchases with Beautycounter, I HIGHLY recommend joining Band of Beauty. Band of Beauty is our membership loyalty program, much like Amazon Prime. It costs $29 for a one year membership and the benefits are great.

Membership includes:

  • FREE overnight resurfacing peel and charcoal mask with enrollment order over $50+
  • FREE shipping on orders over $100 (a perk I don’t even get as a consultant!)
  • 10% product credit back on every order to spend on your next purchase
  • Exclusive offers like first dibs on new releases and members-only sales

In addition, if you’re new to Beautycounter you can get 20% off your first order as a new client with code “CLEANFORALL20” at checkout!

Thanks to the blog, Instagram, and burn out in my professional life—I traveled more last year than ever. And 2023 is shaping up to be the same way! My advice remains the same as always: take the damn trip. Use the PTO! Explore on the weekends. Life is short, make it worth it!!

See ya, 2022! 👏🏻👋🏻

It was a great year: we bought a house, went on tons of weekend trips, visited 2 new countries, and I changed jobs. 

This space grew by about 100%… even though it’s still small I’m proud of the community here! Instagram is easy to get burned out on and even through my wild inconsistency (lol) I’ve made so many new connections and learned a ton. 

The blog grew by over 60%, too! I’ve been much more consistent over the last 5 months and it’s paying off big time. 

But of course, I’ve got huge goals for 2023 and I can’t wait to make them happen. Thanks for being along for the ride!

Plan 👏🏻 ahead👏🏻when👏🏻using👏🏻points!
 
If you really want to maximize your points earnings and use, you need to be thinking about travel 1-2 years out! High ticket items like business class flights and luxury hotels have limited award space… and they go fast. Many hotels and airlines release 360-370 days in advance and award availability goes quick! Like, sometimes same day. 

If you want to book your dream trip with points, you can! Just plan waaaay ahead. Need help figuring out how?! Comment “plan ahead” below so we can chat about what card and points you need for that dream trip!
