For dry, sensitive, or very fair skin
For dry, sensitive, or very fair skin: Try a lactic acid peel once a week. Lactic acid is a relatively large molecule that can't penetrate the skin as deeply as the other alpha hydroxy acids, which means it's not as abrasive. Unfortunately, anything else may make your skin drier, redder, and more sensitive.
For oily or combination skin
For oily or combination skin: Using a sugar scrub once a week and a salicylic acid-infused
cleanser every day may sound like sloughing overload, but "the scrub
sweeps away dead cells so the salicylic acid can penetrate and clean
clogged pores," says Brandt.
For normal skin
For normal skin: A glycolic acid
peel is "one of the most effective exfoliators because it penetrates
deeply," says Fredric Brandt, a dermatologist in New York City and
Miami. "It can also be slightly irritating, so moisturize after to
prevent inflammation." Look for moisturizers for sensitive skin with ceramides or green tea.
