subject: Chemical Peel Ingredients--Are They Harmful? [print this page] Chemical Peel Ingredients--Are They Harmful?
Let me ask you a quick question. Would you knowingly put an ingredient that could burn your skin and leave scarring on your face? Yet, if you use a chemical peel that's exactly what you're doing. See, chemical peel ingredients burn your skin.
That's the whole point of the peel. The idea is if it's successful, you can enjoy smoother, younger looking skin when you're done. Of course, if it doesn't go well, you can experience burning, red and inflamed skin and even scarring.
There are an increasing number of at home chemical peels on the market today. Then, of course, there are the deeper peels that require a professional touch. Frankly, any product that involves burning my skin I think should require a professional but maybe that's just me.
At it's essence, chemical peels remove the upper layers of skin in order to expose newer skin cells which can look refreshed and younger. But harsh chemicals come with serious risks.
Many users experience redness and irritation.
Some chemicals dehydrate skin, which can lead to dullness or changes in tone and can increase the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The most serious side effect of chemicals is the potential for scarring.
Chemical peels do not reverse the aging process and can be expensive, requiring multiple visits to a doctor. For all of these reasons, healthy and gentle methods of skincare are preferable to chemical treatments.
How a Healthy Skincare Regimen Can Improve Your Skin
Today, people are becoming more body and health conscious. How can anyone achieve a more youthful appearance and healthy skin? Although diet, exercise and lifestyle choices play a role, the most important factor is having a healthy and gentle skincare regimen.
If the phrase "skincare regimen" sounds new to you, you are not alone. Although younger generations frequently focus on skincare in their teens or twenties, older generations may have just begun to do so.
As you age your skin loses some of its elasticity. The result is, it sags. However, through the use of natural and healthy products you can restore skin's youthful looking appearance and decrease fine lines and wrinkles. Just as you take care of any other aspect of your health, you need to develop a daily routine that includes healthy products for your skin.
How to Keep Your Skin Young Looking
Here's what you need foryoung looking skin are hyularonic acid and collagen.
Hyularonic acid affects skin's hydration and strengthens collagen cells. Collagen is what gives skin its elasticity and youthful look.
For the best results, look for gentle and natural skincare products that boost collagen and hyularonic acid. Products that help your body produce and use these two substances can improve the texture and hydration of your skin and decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Unlike harsh chemicals, healthy and more gentle products effectively hydrate skin, leaving it soft and supple, without irritation or redness. Even those with sensitive skin can use healthy products, without side effects.
Why use harsh chemical peel ingredients and then spend days hiding behind redness and irritation?
Instead, choose healthy, natural products that improve skin gently to start seeing better looking skin after your first use. To learn more, please visit my website where I share the beauty secrets I've uncovered after years of research.
