If your skin appears dull and acne breakouts are the norm, it may be time to consider a chemical peel. Chemical peels are considered an essential to your everyday skincare routine by skincare professionals. This treatment can do wonders for the skin, and has a long list of benefits. Read on to learn how chemical peels can benefit your skin.
They Remove Dull Skin
Firstly, chemical peels remove the top layer of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. These dead skin cells can cause your complexion to appear dull and can even cause acne breakouts. When the dead skin cells are removed, a brighter complexion is revealed.
They Help with Cell Turnover
Chemical peels help to encourage the cell turnover cycle. This cycle takes place about every 28 days in healthy skin. However, as our skin ages, this process slows down. Thankfully, chemical peels can help to reveal these new, healthier cells.
They Decrease Hyperpigmentation
Since chemical peels remove the topmost layer of the skin, they are good for removing hyperpigmentation. The closer pigmentation is to surface of the skin, the darker it appears. Dark spots can be removed in a series of treatments for a more even skin tone.
They Increase Production of Collagen
The small amount of acid in a chemical peel stimulates the development of collagen in the skin. Collagen helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, large pores, and scarring. It also helps skin to appear youthful and healthy.
