What is a chemical skin peel, how does it work and is it right for your skin?
One of the most honest skincare treatments is a chemical peel. If you want to enhance your bodies natural way of renewal by shedding old cells to make place for new cells, then peels are for you.
Chemical peels are one of the most common treatments for correcting skin and achieving visible results.
Different chemical peels have their own properties, but generally, chemical peel acids penetrate the skin and break the bonds between the layers of skin, so the top layers will start peeling off. The depth that a peel will peel is determined by the type of peel, its concentration and the exact chemical composition. Your skincare therapist will first do an assessment for your individual skin and then discuss with you the type of peels recommended for you.
Lifecycles are very important for our bodies. It is important for skin cells to drop off and make space for new cells, just as it is important for us to live a healthy life. (Cancer is a prime example of what happens when cells don’t die when they are supposed to). Every 30 days we shed skin so that our skin can be completely renewed. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and this process allows your skin to keep impurities out of your body.
Every minute of the day your skin faces pollutants, chemicals, ultra violet rays, temperature and climate changes as well as potential infections. As we get older the renewal process slows down and has an effect on our skins. Wrinkles, lines, sagging, hyper-pigmentation as well as acne will have to be corrected timeously and effectively.
It is estimated that we have around 1,6 trillion skin cells and we shed around a million a day.
