I can't wait to try this at-home peel!

Now that my skin is finally under control (thanks to DIM supplements—which I recently learned are basically a plant-derived form of spironolactone) I can get back to addressing my other concerns, especially my uneven skin tone. I swear I wear sunscreen every day (even if I’m not going anywhere) and a visor when I play tennis, but there’s no doubt these extra hours outdoors aren’t doing my skin any favors.

I got my first professional TCA peel about 10 years ago (before I even needed it, ironically) and I’d totally be down with getting another if we weren’t in the midst of a pandemic. But as luck would have it, one of my favorite dermatologists ever, Dr. Tina Alster, has made one for home use.  

The A Method’s AMAZING Peel Kit comes with everything you need to safely perform your own TCA peel, including pre-treatment cleanser, TCA solution, a cream-based TCA booster, soothing moisturizer and single-dose packets of sunscreen (which help ensure you’re applying the right amount).

Similar to professional TCA peels, this DIY version brings uneven pigment up to the skin’s surface so it can shed three to four days later—and nothing says “effective” like seeing fresh, new skin appear before your very eyes. This process also helps improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, texture and pores so it’s basically a one-and-done fix for all my age-related concerns.

The only thing better would be visiting Dr. Alster in Washington, D.C. for a total post-pandemic overhaul, and now that I think about it, I could actually make that happen when the time is right. Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate being able to travel again, right?
