In this week’s Skin Check, associate beauty director Sarah Kinonen talks chemical peels—in and out of the dermatologist’s office.
Did you know that the best time to get an in-office treatment at your dermatologist’s office is… right now? Thanks to the cooler weather, vanishing sunlight, and potential vacation days you’ve still got racked up, spending a little extra time at home healing from a procedure just makes seasonal sense. Aside from laser treatments and certain injectables, one of the most popular in-office treatments that doesn’t take much time to employ but does require a bit of downtime, is a chemical peel.
I love it for its texture-smoothing abilities—my teenage acne scars don’t stand a chance! The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution : This terrifying yet effective treatment—made with glycolic, lactic, and salicyclic acids—works great at instantly brightening skin, scaring significant others, and doubling as a short-lived Halloween costume in a pinch. Please don’t wear for more than 10 minutes, though—you may end up scaring your skin, too.
