DIY Facial Skin Peel at Home

Peel away that aging skin

Pssst. . .
Your skin really needs it!

Extensive research shows that skin peels are an especially effective skin rejuvenation strategy.  This is especially true when used in concert with other anti-aging skin care treatments.

Peels are intended to remove the outermost layer(s) of the skin.

To accomplish this task, the chosen peel solution induces a controlled injury to the skin, resulting in the wound healing process.   This in turn. . .

Stimulates the regeneration of new tissue. 

A DIY facial skin peel at home helps to remove the dead cells as you peel the facial mask, revealing regenerated skin that is smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.

An occasional DIY facial skin peel at home is not only a wonderful pampering experience but an extremely beneficial rejuvenation strategy for addressing a variety of aging skin symptoms.

Simply substitute your daily exfoliation treatment once every month or so with a DIY facial peel.

There are three basic types of skin peel treatments:

• The DIY home light skin peel 
• Medium peel typically performed by a licensed aesthetician
• Deep peels are performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon
  

Chemical peels are a type of exfoliation using an acid that dissolves and removes dead cells on the surface, revealing younger cells below.

The DIY home light peels exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, while medium and deep peels go into the skin’s living tissue (dermis), and requiring healing time.  The deeper the peel, the more improvement in the reduction of fine lines, wrinkle depth, improvement in skin tone, age spots and sun damage.

The most common DIY facial skin peel at home treatments:

Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are naturally occurring acids such as glycolic acid, lactic acid,  citric acid, malic acid and tartaric acid.  Peels using fruit acids (citric) and lactic acid are milder and gentler on the skin while glycolic acid-  depending on the concentration- can be a bit harsher. 

Beta hydroxy acid (BHA) peels

Salicylic acid is the most common form of beta hydroxy acid used in peels.  It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and, therefore, usually recommended for acne prone and oily skin types. 

Vitamin A Peel

Retinoic acid is a retinoid, active form of Vitamin A.  DIY home peel formulations using retinol will typically combine other active exfoliant agents.

Stronger retinol peels are performed by a licensed medical professional in medical or spa setting because it is a much deeper peel than an AHA or BHA peel.

Be sure to apply a rich moisturizer while your skin heals.
