I was recently introduced to the idea of at home chemical peels and I had seemed wary with some of the different products that were being sold out there (I’m not going to test it out with something that could potentially burn me!) but I heard amazing reviews about Neostrata's at-home peel from several of my esthetician friends who have used it themselves and who recommend it for their clients to use in-between visits. Will the Neostrata Perfecting Peel leave your skin feeling amazing & radiant, read my full Neostrata Skin Active Perfecting Peel Review. Don’t you just love the feeling you get when you leave the spa or dermatologist’s office after getting a nice chemical peel? That bright radiance your skin is left with as you walk out the door. Ideally, if I had the time and money to hit the spa every two to three weeks for a chemical peel I’d absolutely would love to! But some people just aren’t able to manage it. The NeoStrata Skin Perfecting Peel fades the signs of aging including fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and discoloration after several uses while it improves even the most uneven of skin tones. Its Alpha hydroxy acids, citric acids and glycolic acids all help in the exfoliation of dead skin cells which results in your skin feeling softer and becoming much smoother looking. The Perfecting Peel promotes healthy cell renewal which will also help prevent premature aging. To neutralizer pad is packed with soothing extracts which works with your skin by preventing irritation, discomfort and redness from occurring. The NeoStrata Skin Active Perfecting Peel can be used in between professional chemical peels, but I suggest consulting with your dermatologist prior. The NeoStrata Skin Active Perfecting Peel was incredibly easy to use which made it even more amazing in my book but it also showed results after the first use! The Perfecting Peel is great for aging, oily, dry, combination and normal skin types and is dye free and fragrance free. After the first use, you will notice your skin is brighter and feel much smoother to the touch. My skin felt wonderful afterwards…It was very hard not to keep touching it to feel its softness! Your One Stop For A Perfect Chemical Peel At Home You finally don’t have to wait to find the time to get a professional chemical peel, you can easily do it yourself safely at home. To use this product properly make sure you read the directions which are simple and very easy to read. The Skin Active Perfecting Peel can be used weekly at home and incorporated into your beauty routine. In order to use the Perfecting Peel make sure you wash your face prior with a gentle, fragrance free cleanser, next you will use the ‘Step 1 Peel Pad’ all over your face (I suggest doing so in a gentle circular motion avoiding eyes and lips). Leave the peel on for ten minutes but make sure you monitor your skin’s response…(A slight tingle is to be expected but if burning or redness occur you can use the Neutralizing pad prior to the ten minutes to neutralize the reaction). Once the Perfecting Peel has been left on, use the ‘Step 2 Neutralizing Pad’ all over your face covering all areas that the peel pad had been applied (still avoiding eyes and lips). After doing so, you must rinse your face off with water to remove any impurities and residue. Make sure to apply a fragrance free moisturizer to hydrate your skin after use. Because your skin just had a chemical peel similar to that by a professional, you still need to apply sunscreen before going outdoors as it will leave your skin extra sensitive to the sun’s rays. Overall, this is an absolutely amazing peel that I will continue to use and recommend to friends, family and clients. It was definitely worth the investment and your skin will look and feel amazing and radiant afterwards!   Blog Written by askderm's Guest Esthetician  Stephanie Ivonne is a New Jersey licensed Esthetician.  Her fun-loving, outgoing personality will shine through her product selections & reviews to help you discover the hottest skincare and beauty products.

Spring Break is FINALLY upon us! It's time to dust off those swim suits and sundresses for long days in the sun. If you are anything like me, your skin hasn't seen sunlight in a very long time. Winters here in Upstate New York are brutal. Find out what can be done once peeling starts and how to prevent your skin from peeling. Tips on How to Prevent your Skin from Peeling SPF: Safely protect the outer part of your skin from the harmful effects of the sun rays with an SPF product. As a general rule, you should apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes prior to sun exposure. You also need to reapply sunscreen after every swimming session or every  1 - 2 hours. Our collection of SPF ranges for those with sensitive skin to acne prone, from lotions to gels, and everything in-between. SHOWER: Taking a cool shower after receiving a sunburn can help protect your skin from peeling. A shower will also bring relief to a painful sunburn. Always remember to apply a moisturizer or lotion after your shower. COCONUT OIL: Coconut Oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that not only helps with the inflammation of sunburn but also helps moisturize your skin. You can spray a liberal amount of CapriClear to your sunburn each hour for relief from dryness and inflammation. CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray is also great for non-sunburned skin after a day in the sun to keep your skin moisturized. ASPIRIN OR IBUPROFEN: If you do not have an allergy or drug complications take aspirin or ibuprofen to relieve pain and inflammation. WATER: And lastly, drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated. What to do when your Skin Starts Peeling Peeling of your skin is the skin's attempt to get rid of the sun damaged cells. Peeling causes iriitbalility and makes you want to itch your sunburn. There are just those times that no matter how much lotion you apply, your skin starts to peel. And nobody wants that to happen but what can be done once it starts? Apply a generous amount of coconut oil to the peeling skin and rub it into the skin. This is by no means a cure, but it does help with the pain and reduces some of the flakes. And bonus, the coconut oil really brings out your tan after applying it. Have you or are you planning on heading someplace for Spring Break?

The holiday season is all about shiny ornaments, shimmering light displays, warm glowing fireplaces…but one thing that tends to not glow during the holidays is dull chapped and dry skin! No matter how perfect your skin is, we all seem to get more sensitive and dry during the holiday season. The key to beating the cold and dry weather is exfoliation, nourishing and protecting your delicate winter skin, and askderm.com has the perfect recipe to looking your best for every holiday occasion. Be Gentle The most significant mistake that we can fall into with our skin is using a cleansing regimen that is too harsh. DCL Express Waterless Makeup Remover is gentle yet effective and won’t dry out your skin. It also has calming ingredients like Aloe and Chamomile and uses Hyaluronic Acid to keep moisture attracted to your skin. It’s also important to use a gentle and non-drying face cleanser. Glytone Mild Gel Cleanser uses the power of glycolic acid to gently exfoliate away dead skin cells and but will still leave your skin supple and smooth. Exfoliation Because this weather can be harsh enough on our skin as it is, it can be better for some people to opt to use a chemical or enzyme method of exfoliation during the winter and save their brushes and scrubs for the summer. NeoStrata Skin Active Perfecting Peel is a high strength at home face peel. When used once a week this two-step peel kit offers remarkable anti-aging and skin smoothing results and improves the appearance of pigmentation, fine lines, and overall skin texture. If you have very sensitive skin, the Z. Bigatti Re-Storation Impact Fruit Enzyme Facial Mask may be a better option. After smoothing on the face and neck, leave on for just 3 minutes, and the mask will gently exfoliate and condition your skin, improve elasticity, apparent pore size, texture, tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines. The best time to exfoliate your skin is at night after cleansing your face. Although a lot of exfoliation products may say that its ok to use them daily, start with once a week and adjust your use depending on how your skin reacts, so you don’t run the risk of burning or irritation. Following up your exfoliation treatment with a moisturizer or moisture barrier product is critical. Even if your skin isn’t red and raw, that doesn’t mean that you didn’t get results. Nourish Now that you have wiped away your dead skin cells it’s important to nurture that fresh and exposed layer of your skin. NeoCutis Journee BioCream Riche Bio-Restorative Skin Balm was designed with climate changes in mind and is perfect for people who have just had exfoliation treatments. The wild yam extract balances and moisturizes skin and it locks in moisture all day. It’s anti-aging properties also works wonders for fine lines and wrinkles. For really dry and sensitive skin sometimes the only thing topical heavy winter products seem to deliver is breakouts. Whether you’re breakout prone or you need something extra to boost your winter regimen, taking oral supplements is the best solution. I fall into this category and have found that Elon R3 Extra Strength delivers fantastic results during the winter and all year long. The Aqua-Nutrient complex, Biotin, Silica, and L-cysteine are a wealth of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Although Biotin is known for its effects on hair, it also promotes more youthful skin. When taken along with other supplements your beauty and glow will be nourished from the inside and out even during the winter! Heal and Protect The final step of a good winter skincare regimen is to help heal your sensitive skin by protecting it from the harsh weather and other pollutants. Glytone Lipid Recovery Cream uses the power of healthy lipids to speed up your skin’s healing process. Designed for severe weather and for use after laser treatments and peels, the blend of vitamin A, Squalane, Camelina Oil and Shea Butter is a professional strength and luxurious cream that will treat you with the tender care that it needs. You may also find that on especially irritated or chapped skin you need a full on barrier to protect it. Lantiseptic Skin Protectant is enriched with 50% lanolin and is the number one choice of long-term care facilities. The product provides a moisture barrier for sealing out wetness and irritants to help maintain your delicate skin's integrity. It can be used all over the face an body and it totally fragrance-free. Many of these products are beneficial all year round as is making sure to use an SPF 30 or higher during the day (yes even if you’re just going in your car to get something from the grocery store!). Now you can be party ready for any winter day and any winter’s eve.
