Who doesn’t want smooth, soft, bright skin year-round? While you might think these long winter days mean you’re in for tired, dry skin, that couldn’t further from the truth. Why not take advantage of the longer nights and cooler weather by awakening your skin with a chemical peel? Although the name may sound harsh, chemical peels require minimal to moderate down time and are very beneficial — as long as they are performed during cooler months.
Unlike exfoliants, which are great for summer because they slough off the dead outermost layer of skin, chemical peels penetrate and expose deeper layers of your dermis. This is why peels should not be performed during the hot summer months, as heat and UV rays are not conducive to healing, and put you at risk for infection among other things.
But now that the weather is on our side, having a chemical peel can do wonders for your skin.
Among the many things it can be used for are:
• Combating fine lines and wrinkles caused by genetics, aging and sun damage
• Improving the appearance and texture of dull skin
• Reducing age spots, pigmentation or melasma, a common side effect of birth control pills
• Relieving acne, rosacea and eczema flare ups, which are common this time of year
• Treating superficial scarring
