I Tried It: Clear + Brilliant Laser Facial

Thanks to years of habitual SPF application — even at times when it caused others to look at me like I was a weirdo for slathering product on like clockwork — and a skin care regimen that I rarely stray from, my skin is pretty damn good. Especially given my ultra-fair complexion and especially considering I live in Phoenix where the sun shines brightly 299 days out of the year.

That said, I admittedly am forever on the quest for even better skin and I've been really curious about trying the Clear + Brilliant facial after seeing the results on celebrities and other skin care junkies. So in early November — just in time for the upcoming holidays — I ventured to VanDyke Aesthetics in Scottsdale, Arizona to finally try the buzzy laser treatment myself. My experience was amazing and my skin is glowy AF as I type this — and I'm eager to tell you all about it.
