Now that we're firmly into fall and moving towards the winter months, it's time to take a good hard look at your skin.

All summer long, I bet you were slathering on lotions and creams, tanning products and sunscreen. Now it's time to strip away the build up and renew your skin.

Don't worry, I know what you're thinking - it's going to be painful or time-consuming or incredibly expensive. It is none of those things, thanks to the supremely fabulous Philosophy and The Micro Exfoliating Triple-Acid Brightening Peel.

Using mandelic acid, your skin gets gently resurfaced, and then brightened thanks to phytic and azalaic acids. What's amazing about this system is your dull skin gets completely transformed with a simple couple of swipes of these pre-saturated chemical peel pads. No bottles, no mixing, no fuss. Your lines get softer, your dark spots lighten and your skin looks like it's lit from within.

I love that these thin, flat pouches can be tucked anywhere - your gym bag, your briefcase and your carry on, so no matter where you are, you can rejuvenate your skin without having to worry about spills, leaks or messes. Just open the pouch, swath the pad across your face and already, you'll notice your skin looking like the 2.0 version you've always hoped for.

I did experience a slight tingling the first couple of times I tried it, but nothing harsh or painful. You can rinse it off after 3-5 minutes, if you wish. There's no recovery time or waiting for your skin to calm down like the peels of yore, which fits into your already overwrought schedule and lifestyle.

My skin is smooth, soft and glowing, thanks to Philosophy The Micro Exfoliating Triple-Acid Brightening Peel (in the US, it's called The Microdelivery Triple Acid Brightening Peel).

Fall and winter are suddenly looking a whole lot brighter now, aren't they?
