The Blog Considering a Chemical Peel? Here’s What to Know About This Skin Treatment

 

Many people seek that healthy glow, and if you’re noticing changes in how your skin looks or feels, you’re not alone. Environmental factors can hugely influence the state of our skin, causing it to feel dry, flaky and just not right. In the summer, an increase in air-conditioning may be a welcome relief from the heat, but it does your skin no favours. And it’s not just the summer that can affect your skin. The winter brings its own problems and can cause your sky to dehydrate from the cold winds and heating.

What can be done?

Obviously, dry and flaky skin is not what you’re after, but luckily, there are ways that you can improve the appearance of your skin. Firstly, it is important to have a balanced diet that includes drinking a lot of water. If your skin is dry and flaking, it is often due to dehydration, which is why drinking water can help. Along with this, it’s important to have a good skincare routine to keep your skin in tip-top condition.

While the above steps are important, you may also choose to explore options like a chemical peel, which can support the appearance of your skin. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can help determine if this treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.

How does a chemical peel work?

A chemical peel removes the surface layer of the skin, which may help refresh its appearance. Some people explore this option to address specific skin concerns, depending on individual needs and suitability.

Along with supporting a refreshed complexion, chemical peels are sometimes used as part of a broader skincare plan aimed at improving the appearance of uneven skin tone or texture. A personalised consultation can help determine if this is appropriate for you.

The procedure is typically quick, and many people return to their usual activities shortly afterward. However, individual experiences may vary.

Is a chemical peel right for me?

As there are different strengths of chemical peel available, your skin therapist can advise on a suitable option based on your individual skin type and needs. If you’re considering a chemical peel before a special event, it’s important to discuss timing with your practitioner to ensure your skin has time to settle. Before your peel, your practitioner may recommend specific skincare products to help prepare your skin for treatment and support the best possible outcome.
