Hot Tip of the Day: Chemical Peels

May 6th, 2010

Get a chemical peel..or 4? After two back-to-back pregnancies my face was an uneven, blotchy mess so I decided to try a chemical peel. At first, I was a little nervous because I didn’t want to look like a molting monster and scare the kiddos. As it turns out, the peeling process was relatively uneventful and very easy to cover-up with some heavy duty moisturizer. For maximum results, the docs will push for the series of peels. I opted for just a single treatment ($125) because, well, I thought $400 was a tad too much for just rubbing a cotton swab all over my face a few times. The peel really did even out my skin and took about 5 years off my mug. Okay, maybe not 5 but at least 2. I get one, just one, every 6 months or so.
