A Fresh Start For Autumn...

Late nights, early starts and too much to get done in the hours between. Whatever it is that stresses your skin, make a fresh start this autumn with skincare to give a luminous youthful look in a matter of minutes. Facial peels have long been favoured for their deep exfoliating, skin renewing effects and although once the sole domain of the salon or surgery, these treatments have now been reproduced for use at home.

Created with powerful exfoliators such as fruit enzymes, lactic acid and glycolic acid, all of which gently remove the top layers of skin to reveal radiance beneath, they’re one of the easiest and most instantly beneficial ways of improving skin tone and clarity, smoothing fine lines, boosting skin cell renewal and improving hydration levels.

Choose the formula that best suits your lifestyle but do be prepared to use it regularly for the best results. Although these products are designed for home use used incorrectly they can cause irritation so never leave on skin for longer than the recommended time: don’t guess, watch the clock. If skin is sensitive, use with care or look for sensitive-specific formulas, and always apply a SPF for the week after use to prevent the newly revealed skin from becoming damaged by the sun.

Dr Sebagh Deep Exfoliating Mask, £52

This award-winning exfoliating mask contains azelaic acid to improve skin tone plus lactic and glycolic acids to exfoliate skin for a lighter brighter complexion. Great on ageing skins where cell turnover has slowed, it is notoriously (yet satisfyingly) aggressive which means superb results in only 10 minutes but a patch test is a definite recommendation.

Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel, £26

With natural enzymes of papaya and pineapple to exfoliate this rich deliciously-scented cream is applied to dry skin then rinsed off easily. Added milk proteins and marine algae help moisturise skin and repair damage while free radical-busting Vitamin E works to combat the signs of ageing. An excellent choice for mature or sensitive skins.
