Get brighter, younger skin with this DIY at-home treatment.
Facials can cost a fortune, and most of us don’t have the appetite for medi-spas or cosmetic surgery. Luckily, a new at-home spa craze promises anti-aging benefits at a budget-friendly cost. DIY peels are gaining buzz for their ability to deliver major results without scary side effects. “Peels are no longer as harsh on the skin,” says Dennis Gross, M.D., a dermatologist based in New York. “They should be a part of everyone’s regimen.”
Peels provide both instant and long-term results. They help improve texture and tone and brighten skin while addressing a variety of concerns, from acne to wrinkles. Here’s what else you need to know.
WHAT’S IN THEM? Peels include alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs), which exfoliate away old skin and stimulate collagen production, essential in keeping skin firm. “The acids dissolve dead skin cells along with toxins and sweat on the skin surface,” explains Ildi Pekar, an esthetician at Ildi Pekar Skin Care in New York City. “A buildup of these toxins can cause your skin to appear dull and irritated.”
