6 Peel Pads That Will Make Exfoliation the Best Part of Your Day

We’ve been told to wash our faces since we were babes. It’s a relatively mindless decision, especially when you can feel makeup, oils, and grime sitting on your skin after a long day. But while cleansing is a relatively conditioned activity, exfoliating is not, even though the task promotes clearer, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.

So how do you make exfoliating a habit? Will power, for starters, but having convenient, incredibly easy-to-use products certainly helps, too. That's where this roundup of chemical peel pads comes in. Like your beloved makeup wipes, the formula designed to whisk away dead skin cells, preventing them from clogging your pores and promoting cellular renewal, is infused in the little cloth.

All you have to do is swipe (and maybe rinse) and the task is complete. Keep clicking to check out the specifics on a few of our favorites.
