Skin Looking Dull?

Springtime is often considered a great time for a superficial chemical peel, and here's why:

• Shedding Winter Dullness:

  • Winter weather, with its dry air and indoor heating, can leave skin looking dull and feeling rough. A chemical peel helps to exfoliate away those dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, more radiant complexion.   

• Addressing Hyperpigmentation:

  • As sun exposure increases in the spring, it's a good time to address any hyperpigmentation or sun damage that may have accumulated. Chemical peels can help to fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Be sure you are using a Tyrosinase Inhibitor to prevent further, darker hyperpigmentation.

• Preparing for Warmer Weather:

  • A chemical peel can help to clear out clogged pores and reduce acne breakouts, which can be exacerbated by increased humidity in the spring.   

• Rejuvenation and Renewal:

  • Spring is a season of renewal, and a chemical peel can help to rejuvenate your skin, promoting a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

• Enhanced Skincare Product Absorption:

  • By removing the outer layer of dead skin, chemical peels allow for better penetration and effectiveness of your skincare products.   

    
    

Key benefits include:

• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles   

• Improvement in skin texture and tone   

• Diminished appearance of acne scars   

• Reduction of hyperpigmentation and sun damage   

  
  

Important considerations:

• Sun Sensitivity: After a chemical peel, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. It's crucial to wear sunscreen with zinc and a SPF of 30 or above and to limit direct sun exposure.   

• Professional Guidance: It's essential to consult and communicate with your skincare professional to determine the appropriate type of chemical peel for your skin type and concerns.

• Your skin is prepped: It's important to use the right skin care products when receiving chemical peels. The wrong products can wreck your skin barrier and that is a whole other issue. If your skin care professional doesn't make a recommendation, be sure you ask what you should be using post chemical peel. Your professional may recommend a pre-care routine prior to your appointment.

• Home care: What you use at home is critical to your results and glowing, healthy skin. Be sure you follow the steps your skin care professional recommends!
