We tried out the Nimue skin peel and this is what happened
A month ago, I tried the Nimue glycolic acid chemical peel at the Laser Beautique in Rosebank. Glycolic acid is a superficial peeling agent that enhances exfoliation when needed.

The therapist started with a basic facial that included deep cleansing, steaming and leaving a mask on for about 15 minutes.

The treatment was not painful or uncomfortable, and it had no downtime. So, I headed straight for work.
