Cosmetic "spa" procedures are a quick way to perk up tired skin while maintaining a healthy complexion. While they are often offered by professional spas and dermatologists in more concentrated doses, these treatments can also be done with at-home kits.
A dermatologist or aesthetician usually begins a chemical peel by swabbing the solution over the skin's surface, where it is allowed to rest and go to work. (While professional or medical peels may use chemicals like phenol and trichloroacetic acid, most at-home kits will make use of milder chemical solutions like glycolic acid and alpha hydroxy acid). Once the solution has dissolved the surface cells, it is wiped away and the skin is cleansed.
A regular microdermabrasion treatment can be an excellent way to keep your skin soft and smooth, and remove dead skin cells. Just don't forget the sunscreen when you're done.
