Favorite @ home peel

While in quarantine, I have been getting a few of my clients texting me about at home peels. So lets have a chat…

If your are searching on line for a strong peel to buy I hope I make you stop and think before your next purchase! First of all ladies and gents PLEASE don’t try to mimic what your Esthy does for you. You really can damage your skin. As an Aesthetican of 20 years we I have been trained in the peel lines I use and get certified through the companies by taking courses and hands on education before they would even sell me the product. Chemical peels can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. Peels are essentially a chemical wound done in a controlled environment in order to have safe results. There are various ways we prep the skin, apply the the product and some cases neutralize it. We are trained how the skin changes while the product is on and looking for warning signs of bad reactions. Most people would not know what to look for and not know how to do any of these steps. If this hasn’t scared you enough, I have personally seen damage done by peels gone wrong by reckless Esthy’s. I couldn’t even imagine a normal person getting their hands on professional product that should not be sold to the public. I have seen is hyper & hypo pigmentation damage left behind on bad peels. Its best to leave it for us experts.

There are some peels that you can do at home. They are formulated to have a lower dose of acid. Most of these peels come with a pre-treated pad and applied everyday. However in my opinion you really have to figure out the right dosage for you skin type and condition. If you have very tough skin then I say use those pads every day. Peel that skin off baby, but know you may have a balancing out period for like a week. Your skin may purge and get dry and flaky before you start to feel a change. If you have sensitive skin the you will want to start out 2/3x per week. and then work up to everyday. Sensitive people need to condition there skin slower, but eventually achieve the same results.

One of my favorite at home peel is the Dr Dennis Gross alpha beta extra strength peel. The extra strength peel has a higher concentrations of alpha beta acids plus added anti-aging boosters, including mandelic acid and willow bark extract, deliver a stronger peel without risk of irritation or recovery time. I use this peel on my skin everyday. I like to use this for like 60 days then switch it up to a different type of exfoliant.

I also love the Osmosis Skincare cranberry enzyme mask. This mask helps create smooth and supple complexion with this gentle enzyme exfoliant. This mask features cranberry, witch hazel, and beet root powder. This skin tightening face mask also contains Ubiquinone, also known as CoQ10, which can support collagen and elastin production to aid in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This mask I personally use about 2/3x a week. So my sensitive babies should only use it 1/2x a week.

After I do my at home peel treatment I always follow up with a mask. I like to treat my newly exfoliated skin with some nourishment. I have a few favorite masks that I love. The Summer Fridays Jet Set Mask, as well as the Advanced Clinicals Rose Water and Hylaronic Gel Masks are a few of my favorites. I use all three depending on whats happening with my skin at that particular. time. Just make sure you read the label on the mask of your choosing for your skin type. If your a person that can’t do a lot naturally fragranced products I tell my clients to use the Rodan + Fields brand because they are more clinical and have less essential oils in them.

Now that I have explained a little bit about home treatments I will leave you some links below to browse.
