Expert Answer

A peel is type of chemical exfoliant that loosens the top layer of skin. The skin peels off, leaving a fresh layer of skin exposed. This reduces fine lines, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.

Skin polishing is a term for exfoliation. Usually "polishing" refers to microdermabrasion where the skin surface is blasted with micro particles to remove dead skin. However, home treatments are also sometimes referred to as "polishing."

Question

How do I know whether my skin type is sensitive or normal skin?

Community Answer

If you usually get rashes, are pale skinned, or burn easily, then you may be sensitive. If you've got rashes or breakouts from any products in the past then you might also have sensitive skin.
