What is the one of the best-kept secrets in skincare? If I told you it was a leave-on facial peel, would you believe me, especially if you have never heard of one. Facial peels are a very effective way to create that flawless skin everyone desires.
They say that history always repeats itself and believe it or not, skincare is not immune of that. Going back to the 1990s, chemical peels were all the rage. Pretty much anyone that was anyone in Hollywood had a chemical peel. At one point, peels were the cosmetic procedure at the top of the list. Doris Day, a clinical associate professor of dermatology at NYU Langone Medical Center, stated, "Turns out good old chemical peels can actually deliver certain skin benefits—like reversing melasma and breakouts—better than high-tech devices.”
As happened during those days, chemical peels were quickly left behind for other facial treatments, such as skin laser treatments. The problem with those treatments, however, was that they were far more expensive than chemical peels, like a lot more expensive. Typically, if the laser was getting turned on, you were looking at a four-figure bill when you walked out the door. Well, the wheel has come back around, and facial peels are back in vogue again.
The difference is that, today, you no longer need to head to the dermatologists office to have a facial peel. Even better, the peels many people are using today are far less abrasive than they were back in the 1990s. For instance, Mao Radiance offers an AHA/BHA Leave On Peel that gently exfoliates the skin and it costs less than $25. No office visit, no large doctor bill, and you apply it yourself. You also will not look like a walking tomato after you use the peel.
The two key ingredients in the product are AHA and BHA. AHA is effective in exfoliating the skin as well as improving skin texture and fading dark spots. BHA dissolves excess oil, is also effective in exfoliating the skin, and he helps replace old skin cells with new skin cells. But this peel also soothes, using ingredients such as aloe leaf juice and jojoba oil.
