Chemical peels are the process of removing a layer of damaged skin to show a newer healthier skin. Daily living can damage your skin from a number of factors such as pollution, sun exposure, makeup residue, and the aging process. More of the aging or oily and prone skin population are turning to chemical peels to keep their skin fresh and healthy looking.
To start with only mild and superficial peels are safe to do at home, medium and deep peels are to be done under a doctor's supervision with some form of sedation and pain killers.
The mild and superficial peels are just that, they remove the very top surface layer of your skin, if done properly they reveal the fresh skin underneath.These peels are typically done in a series of five or six to the see the best results.
Now what peel is best for my skin?
Latic acid is the most gentle of the chemicals peels and is made from soured milk. People who most benefit for this type of peel is those with old acne scars, hyper pigmentation (red spots left at acne), and those with uneven skin tones.
Next up is Glycolic acid which is dervived from sugar cane. Glycolic acid is used to remove fine line and wrinkles and also help those skin who is oily or acne prone skin. After using this peel your pores look smaller from the exfoliation which also makes them more loose making it easier to remove blackheads and white heads from your skin.
And last of all is the Salicylic acid which is made from wintergreen and birch bark. Salicylic is oil soluble which means it is able to more effectively penerate your pores. This is why it is typically an ingredient found in acne cream treatments. Salicylic acid is best for those with oily or combination skin, and will help clear up any exsisting breakouts and prevent more from happening.
