There are few at-home beauty treatments that give you results as fast, or as obviously, as facial peels. They are probably the closest thing to a spa treatment without having to leave the comfort of your bathroom. Generally, peel help to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells to leave your complexion softer, smoother and more radiant. In some cases, peels can even help to minimise the appearance of pores and soften fine lines and wrinkles. The only downside is that they can sometimes be too harsh on sensitive skin, resulting in redness, irritation and inflammation. To help prevent this, we’ve curated a list of gentle facial peels that are suitable for sensitive complexions so you can exfoliate at ease.
