Rejuvenated skin is always in style and chemical peels are the perfect treatment to refresh your skin.
Chemical peels involve the application of mild acids to remove the top layers of skin to stimulate the growth of new, clear skin. This treatment helps with sun damage, acne, and blemishes. No matter your skin concerns or skin type, a chemical peel can get your skin glowing and healthy.
Plus, the holiday season is a great time to treat yourself! Here are our top four reasons to get a chemical peel this winter.
YOU’RE GETTING LESS SUN EXPOSURE
The winter is an ideal time of the year to get a chemical peel because you’re naturally getting less sun exposure. Your top layer of skin — what gets removed during a chemical peel — is what protects you from UV rays. Due to this exfoliation process that happens to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels can make skin more sensitive to the sun. With the sun setting earlier in the winter, it’s a convenient time for a chemical peel.
Keep in mind that though the sun is less visible in the winter, its rays are still at work. Continue to use SPF all year round to avoid premature aging and reduce your risk of skin cancer.
EASIER RECOVERY
Chemical peels don’t require much downtime, but in the cold winter months, you’ll have an even easier time recovering indoors. Chilly, gloomy weather is great for curling up inside after your chemical peel treatment while redness dies down. It’s also best practice to avoid sweating right after this treatment — and therefore to avoid hot environments — making the winter time ideal for this treatment.
TO LOOK GREAT FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Chemical peels soften fine lines and lessen the appearance of hyperpigmentation and scarring. During a busy time of year, having a glowing complexion will help you look and feel your best for all of your holiday festivities.
FOR A MOOD BOOST
Did you know that getting aesthetic treatments can improve your mood? It’s true. Aesthetic treatments can boost your mental well-being. Having a chemical peel on the calendar gives you something to look forward to when missing sunny and warm months. Book yourself a chemical peel so you can feel good on the inside and out.
