8 New At-Home Peels Better Than an In-Office TreatmentAn at-home peel can give you glowing skin and help your other products work even better |
An in-office chemical peel can brighten and smooth your skin, but it can also require some serious downtime while your face sloughs off. Often, an at-home peel is a better option.
"The world thinks of peels and relates them to flaking," says New York City dermatologist Dennis Gross, MD, also the founder of Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. However, peels -- especially at-home peels -- aren't necessarily about exfoliation, he says. "They gently detach dead skin and debris from the surface level of the skin and immediately remove old, dull skin, exfoliate, rejuvenate, brighten and make skin appear younger in just two minutes."
In addition, at home peels can help your other skin care ingredients -- like vitamins, antioxidants and wrinkle fighters -- work better. "The skin is more receptive [after a [peel]," explains Gross. And these new at-home peels require absolutely no downtime.
