What Is a Chemical Peel?

This treatment goes deep under the first superficial layer of skin to remove and hydrate dry skin. It’s far more effective than a regular exfoliation treatment because it targets lower areas of the dermis that might not be touched by other types of treatments. The result is new-looking, hydrated, plump skin that looks substantially less wrinkled and parched.

Why Should I Get This Treatment in the Winter?

Although these treatments are popular all year round, they are especially effective during the winter months when your skin is exposed to icy elements and dry air. Even indoor heating can parch the skin, leaving it cracked and rough-looking. Dry skin almost inevitably looks older than hydrated skin, which is why you should consider getting a chemical peel during the winter.

Your fresh glow will bring a burst of summertime to the colder months of the year, and with a little care, you can maintain your youthful-looking skin all throughout winter. The key is to take care of your face after you get this treatment done. That way, you can maximize the results and enjoy lustrous skin even when the mercury has dropped well below freezing.

What Are the Benefits?

Chemical peels are excellent treatments because they address the underlying issues that your skin is facing, literally. By simply hydrating and healing the deeper layers of your skin, patients can combat wrinkles and fine lines, facial scarring, sun damage, acne scars, and dry patches. Most people find that they look much more youthful and fresh after their chemical peel, with bouncy new skin.

What Should I Expect During My Treatment?

Talk to your dermatologist or specialist about what peel is best for you. Depending on your unique situation, they might recommend a deep, medium, or superficial peel. No treatment is better than any other one. It all depends on what you want to achieve and the state of your skin. Most patients can expect to have the treatment applied directly to their skin for superficial and medium peels. Generally, these are not very intense treatments, and most people are able to go right back to their lives afterward.

For deep peels, your practitioner may give you an IV of fluids and perform the peel in a number of different stages. This is due to the fact that deep peels go more under the skin than the other types, and you need to stay hydrated throughout. All of these peels are safe and are likely to yield great results.

Keeping Your Glowing Skin for the Long Run

It’s important to remember to take care of your skin after your peel. Skin will be slightly more vulnerable and need extra hydration in the immediate aftermath of the treatment. One of the best ways that you can treat your skin right is to make sure that you’re protected from the sun. Sun damage is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to dry skin and wrinkles, and it’s important to practice good skin maintenance by using plenty of SPF. You should aim for an SPF of at least 30, but the higher, the better.

Wash your face with cool water and avoid fragranced soaps or face washes. Your skin will be quite sensitive in the immediate aftermath of your peel, and you certainly do not want to risk getting an infection or irritating the fragile new skin. You also should not exfoliate right away. Let your skin heal properly, and it will reward you by looking youthful and dewy. Most of all, make sure that you keep your skin fully moisturized. It’s vital to moisturize more than you would normally, as your skin is sensitive and can dry out easily. Aim to moisturize fully at least three times a day, but avoid rubbing your face too hard.

Treat Your Skin Right 

A great way to maintain your skin in between peels is to use an excellent product that will work to tame inflammation and make your wrinkles and fine lines far less prominent. Co2 Lift Carboxy Gel Treatment is a doctor-recommended product that helps to enhance the elasticity of your skin. Still, it is gentle enough to apply anywhere on your face, including the delicate skin under your eyes.

It’s a boost of moisture that your skin won’t forget anytime soon. Beauty insiders love this product because it helps make their pores vanish and tightens up their loose skin, reducing the signs of aging in between peels. It seems too good to be true, but the dynamic combination of a chemical peel and this top-notch at-home treatment may just save your skin.
