Where are my glow-getters at?

If you want your skin to glimmer as bright as your personality, one trick is to add an exfoliating step to your skincare regimen.

Long gone are the days when we would use harsh, gritty face scrubs to remove dead cells from our skin. In fact, experts now say that you should actually ditch the scrubs altogether. Cue the TLC “I don’t want no scrubs…” Instead, skincare professionals are encouraging us to swap in products that are rich in alpha and beta hydroxy acids also known as AHAs (like glycolic, lactic and mandelic acids) and BHAs (salicylic acid). And, let me tell you, they definitely are worth adding to your skincare routine. Here’s why...

Regular acid exfoliation can:

• minimize clogged pores and breakouts
• erase dark spots and discoloration
• banish flakiness
• boost collagen production
• soften fine lines
• prepare your skin to better absorb serums and moisturizers

All in all leaving you with a fresh, glowing canvas. Even better than all of that? The results are pretty instant.

I’ve been using two high-performing exfoliating treatments from BeautyRx by Dr. Schultz and they have completely changed my skin -- for the best. In short, they work, provide instant results and are developed by a top, Park Ave (NYC) dermatologist that provides you with the dermatologist experience (in a bottle) without having to step inside the doctor’s office! I like to call him a glow-specialist.

So are you ready to get glowing?

Enter: The Progressive Peel, a gentle, effective glycolic system produces the same results his patients get in office: brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin with no redness or downtime.

• The BeautyRx Advanced Strength 10% Glycolic Exfoliating Pads accelerate rejuvenation by brightening and clarifying dull skin, while evening skin texture and tone with dual-acting chemical plus physical exfoliation. Each of the exfoliating pads is infused with 10% glycolic acid to gently yet effectively remove the top layer of dead and clogging cells to reveal glowing, even-toned, healthier and younger looking skin -- instantly. These pads have a lot of “oomph” so I like to use these one or two times a week, and always skip a night or two in between; after cleansing, I just swipe the pad across my clean face and then proceed with the rest of my skincare routine. *The BeautyRx website does label that these are not a starter product.  
• The system also includes the BeautyRx Essential 8% Exfoliating Serum. The serum is a starter-strength, lightweight, oil-free 8% glycolic treatment that removes dulling dead cells to reveal brighter, softer, healthier looking skin. It’s a buffered and pH-adjusted glycolic serum that is enhanced with BeautyRx complex Tetrafoliant™️, which provides gentle yet amazingly effective exfoliation. I really love the lightweight, spreadable serum because it reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, fades brown spots and blotches, and can even soften the appearance of fine lines with regular use. Cha-ching!

Both of these products can be purchased individually as well. If you haven’t regularly exfoliated before or have sensitive skin, I’d recommend starting with the BeautyRx Serum.  

Last but not least, we can’t forget our eyes. Did you know that the area around our eyes typically looks 10 years older than the rest of our complexion because the skin is so thin? Daily exfoliation of the eye area encourages collagen production which helps keep the skin more glowy, younger looking. The BeautyRx By Dr. Schultz Gentle Exfoliating Eye Cream is great for treating the delicate skin under and around your eyes because it is pH-adjusted and contains buffered glycolic, for gentle yet effective exfoliation. It helps smooth and revive tired, dull-looking eye area skin, as well as decrease the appearance of fine lines and under-eye dark circles when used regularly!

Happy exfoliating!
