Are Peel Bars the New Blow Dry Bars?
By Shannon Farrell
If you’ve gotten an in-office peel, you know the kind of commitment it requires. Not only does the treatment take at least an hour, but the recovery time, complete with red blotches and peeling, can last up to a week. (One time I scheduled a peel two days before a big family function. Try having to explain to 50 people that it’s healthy for your face to peel? Not fun.)
Bottom line: peels aren’t conducive with a busy lifestyle. Skincare brand BeautyRx has changed the game by offering a two-minute peel that requires no downtime—no redness, no peeling, no irritation whatsoever. (When I played guinea pig, I was able to leave in minutes—with no need for makeup). The formula includes both Willowherb and Lavender to sooth the skin, while offering the same strength as other peels.

And now the treatment is even more busy-gal friendly with a peel bar located downtown. You heard that right … a peel bar. BeautyRx, the first to coin the phrase, is offering the two-minute 40 percent glycolic peel administered by famed dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz’s staff at Flatiron’s Butterfly Studio Salon for a fraction of the price. When administered by Schultz in his Park Avenue office, the peel goes for $225. At Butterfly Studio, his office staff will perform the same treatment for $39.
Whether you’re heading back to work for a big presentation or prepping for an evening event, the peel bar offers the perfect skin pick-me-up. Drop by on Tuesdays from 4:00 to 7:00 PM or Thursdays 12:00 to 5:00 PM to test-drive it yourself.
As for us, our lunch break just got a whole lot more satisfying.
