111 Skin

When I walked into the Regent Wilshire Beverly Hills Spa in Beverly Hills, Calif., my skin was dull, red, and inflamed. I had been having a frustrating few months of trying dermatologist-recommended regimens that made my skin worse and dabbling in beauty products to try to resolve those issues.

After changing into a plush robe, I entered one of the luxe beauty rooms and laid down for my facial: A Black Diamond Non-Surgical Lift Facial featuring 111SKIN products. At a whopping $510, this is not for the faint of heart. But if you want to be pampered and your skin needs to be tightened, lifted, and in need of a serious glow-up, you will certainly leave with all three in 90 minutes flat.

I had heard about 111SKIN before that day. The brand was developed by renowned London-based cosmetic surgeon Dr. Yannis Alexandrides, who originally created products to help heal his patients’ skin after surgery. Following the success of those, he created 111SKIN – a full range of moisturizers, serums, boosters, and more – innovative formulations that transform complexions. There are a slew of celebrities who swear by them – Priyanka Chopra and Jasmine Tookes, among others, including the Victoria Secret Angels who walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last fall. Before the show, they all put on the coveted Rose Gold Sheet Mask, for example, and loved it so much that they sang its praises on the ‘gram.

Still, I hadn’t had the opportunity to try the products until that day. Except for the masks, which can be purchased in a single pack, most of the products are on the pricey side, so I wanted to make sure that if I paid for any of them, they had noticeable results.

I got my first opportunity to try 111SKIN with this facial. By the end of it, nearly 10 different products had been applied to my face. The redness and inflammation in my face was gone, my skin felt lifted, and I was glowing. I was shocked.

There are no extractions done in the facial, so it’s designed for those who want results that give their skin glow, and lift and tighten the skin with just one facial procedure, but don’t want any downtime.

If you can’t get out to Beverly Hills for the facial though, all is not lost. 111SKIN is available online and there are different products that cater to all skin types. Most are pricey, but they are products that will change your skin and are worth the splurge. Even better, you can try the most popular items in the brand – the face sheet masks and eye masks – for less than $35 a pop.

Take a peek at my five top picks from 111SKIN and how you can try them without breaking the bank.
