The Perfect Peel: 3 Homemade Facial Peels We Love

One of our favorite ways to get a more radiant complexion is to use a facial peel at home. Not to be confused with chemical peels, packaged gentle peels that you can incorporate into your own skincare routine, are a great addition to the serums, exfoliators, and facials you may already be using. Think of the three home peels below as overnight exfoliators to help you get one step closer to glowing skin!

Kiehl's Biological Night Peel

Formulated with moisturizing sodium hyaluronate and urea and HEPES enzyme activators, this powerful night peel promotes skin's natural exfoliation process. Continued use helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, improve the appearance of sun damage, and leave the complexion softer, more even and radiant. Use after cleansing three times a week.

Garnier Clearly Brighter Dark Spot Overnight Peel

Another gentle yet effective home peel option can be found at the drugstore thanks to Garnier. A leave-in peel containing glycolic acid and vitamin C to even out skin tone while reducing visible dark spots while you relax. Skin looks more radiant upon waking up, helping to give a whole new meaning to beauty sleep.

Editor's Note: Any time you use a homemade peel at night, you must be careful not to skip sunscreen in the morning. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more to protect your skin from UV rays. The newly exposed skin after exfoliation that occurs during peeling is especially sensitive to sunlight. If daily use of SPF has not yet become a habit, it's time to do so.
