Chemical Peels Can Help Make You Look Younger

If you have problems with acne blemishes, skin discolorations like sun spots or want

to diminish the appearance of fine lines around your ears or mouth, a chemical peel may just give you the help you want. Chemical peels separate your skin, helping the top layers to come off and reveal smoother, younger skin that is beneath the surface layers. There are several types of facial peels, but the most widely used ones are light chemical facial peels that can be done in a salon, a day spa or even at home.

These chemical peels are made up of alpha or beta hydroxy acids, AHA or BHA, like glycolic or salicylic. Glycolic acid, which is derived from sugar cane, is most commonly used with AHA and salicylic acid, which is a common anti-acne ingredient, is used in BHA. Both of these acids are good for treating light to moderate acne problems and are used to peel away dead skin cells to help reduce lines and wrinkles on the face.

A peel isn't really a peeling of the skin, but the skin is quickly exfoliated with the use of these acids. After the skin is washed and is allowed to dry, a light layer of either AHA or BHA is applied using a large cotton swab, a cotton pad or a small brush. When the skin begins to exfoliate, it gets warm and some people may experience a light burning or stinging sensation. However, the skin is safe from being damaged.

The process only takes about 10 minutes and the peel is gently removed with cool water. A neutralising agent is then applied, the skin is cleansed thoroughly to complete the process. The skin is reddened and gives the appearance of a sun burn and redness may last for a few hours or up to five days. While these treatments can be done at home, getting a chemical peel can be part of a relaxing day at a local spa, such as the Ibeauty Medispa.
