Beauty Of 5: Five Ways To Try Luxe 111SKIN Without Breaking The Bank

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.

Rose Gold Radiance Booster, $160

Is it worth it to splurge on the Rose Gold Radiance Booster? For the ultimate summer glow (or for any time of the year), we’re going with yes. The treatment mask alone became such a cult fave that it only made sense for the Rose Gold Radiance Booster ($160.00, 111skin.com) to follow the same trend when it hit the market. The booster is formulated with Rosa Damascena and pure Gold Extract to enhance the natural radiance of skin. Just a few drops on the skin gives it an instant glow, almost like a natural highlighter. It is one of the best brightening serums I’ve ever used.

Sub-Zero De-Puffing Eye Mask, $15.00

This is another way to enjoy 111SKIN’s beauty products without breaking the bank. At just $15 a pop, the innovative Sub-Zero De-Puffing hydrogel eye mask ($15.00, 111skin.com) reduces the appearance of dark circles and works to tackle signs of fatigue by alleviating puffiness and improving skin resilience. It is infused with a powerful tetrapeptide and marine complex that also works to restore contours and tighten stress lines along the eye area. If you try this one, make sure to keep it in the fridge. It only intensifies the effects.

Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Mask, $15.00

After getting that Black Diamond facial, I’m a believer in 111SKIN’s Black Diamond products. If you can’t make it to the Beverly Wilshire for the treatment, indulge in this Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Mask ($15.00, 111skin.com) face mask for a much cheaper alternative. This is perfect for anyone trying to rejuvenate dull skin, given that it tones and defines the complexion and reduces lines with the help of its black diamond ingredient.

Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask, $15

This is another chance to try 111SKIN’s Celestial Black Diamond line in a budget-friendly way. This eye mask is a fave of Victoria’s Secret Model Shanina Shaik…and for good reason. It uses a brand-new hydrogel technology and is formulated to combat fine lines, wrinkles and dehydration around the eyes. The mask contains AMF, which increases hydration, retinol to retexture skin, vitamins to improve discolouration, and a potent peptide to fight lines. The big bonus? The black diamond particles inside of it, which improves the penetration of the ingredients.
