In my house, most DIY projects are reserved for true experts. I’ve managed to break pipes, dent walls and drop things out of windows any time I’ve attempted to conquer home improvement on my own. And it doesn’t end there. My father once fell through a hole in our deck (long story, but it involved a dying tree) and broke his arm. A year later, he shattered his car’s windshield transporting blinds from Home Depot to our house. We have a terrible track record, which was why I was so nervous to try a facial peel at home.

This one particular DIY project, however, had a happy ending for us all. No broken anything, no trips to the hospital, just fresh, glow-y skin for a full week!

Skincare experts agree that occasional facial peels can work magic on dull, clogged skin. Often pricey and sometimes a little painful, I’ve remained on the fence about the need for peels until I learned about a simple product from MD Skincare. This two-step product called the Alpha-Beta Daily Face Peel is easy-peasy to use and helps to promote skin’s firmness, tone and texture without the need of professional intervention.

Simply swipe the pre-soaked pad in Step 1 on clean, dry skin and allow its potent ingredients about two minutes to get to work, sloughing off dead skin cells and encouraging cell turnover. After a couple of painless minutes, swipe Step 2′s pad over your face to neutralize the first solution. Massage in your choice of sunscreen and you’re good to go!

No home improvement experts needed.
