Why You Should Get a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels are amazing for any skin condition and work on all skin types. They range in levels with some being hydrating to others giving you some downtime with deep peeling. See below which works best for your skin concern: 

What is a Chemical Peel? 

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin, exfoliating the skin’s top layers and eventually causing it to peel off resulting in amazing skin and getting you on your way to your #skingoals! 

What Does a Chemical Peel Do?

Chemical peels are amazing for any skin condition and work on all skin types. They range in levels with some being hydrating to others giving you some downtime with deep peeling. See below which works best for your skin concern: 

  • Anti-Aging (Glycolic, TCA)

  • Pigmentation (Lactic, Glycolic)

  • Rosacea (Mandelic)

  • Acne (Salicylic) 

  • Dry/Dull Skin (Enzymatic Peel) 

What Does a Treatment Plan Look Like? 

  1. At my skin clinic, chemical peels are something to be taken seriously and you must be on great skincare before starting. This helps ensure the chemical peel will work without any contraindications. If you are using something at home that has an ingredient that I am unaware of, this can lead to a reaction with the peel.

  2. We will create a plan for your treatments, I typically start everyone on a prep peel being a resurfacer or a hydrating peel to prep your skin then we gradually go deeper with each peel. This preps your skin. Going too deep too fast can result in more pigmentation so steady and small progression wins the race!

  3. Results are amazing and I highly recommend planning on doing a series of 6, every 2-3 weeks. This will give you quick results and help achieve your skin goals!

Maskne

We all hate getting breakouts from the usual stress, hormones, working out, eating bad but now we have to worry about getting it from masks. So frustrating right?! Just when you think you have your acne under control this happens.

Well beauties, you are not alone in this and majority of clients I have seen this past year are stuggling with the same thing! Here are some tips and tricks on how to heal this type of breakout and get it under control.

First of all, what is Maskne? This is acne caused by wearing a mask. These masks actually cause the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and oil which is what is causing your excessive breakouts along the jawline and where the mask touches your face.

Ways to treat:

Start off by visiting your local esthetician, if you are Denver I would love to see you myself! Starting a good acne treatment in the care of a licensed professional will do wonders for your breakouts. We can clear out your pores, extract breakouts and congestion in the skin while drying out your current breakouts.

I recommend after starting with 1 acne facial, moving onto a light peel to really kill any bacteria and heal what you currently do have.

What Can You Be Doing At Home:

Medical Grade Skincare is key! So throw out your target cleanser and your clean and clear acne gel and LISTEN to your esthetician. Using salicylic, benzoyl and glycolic will heal your breakouts but the key to use good products that wont overdry your skin and cause a bigger issue.

My personal favorites are the Image Skincare’s Ageless Cleanser (glycolic) with a vitamin c moisturizer from their Vital C line and then finishing with a breakout spot treatment (benzoyl & salicylic) - Image Skincare’s Acne Medication is a lifesaver and will dry out and heal any breakout.

Taking your makeup off every night is a must and honestly one thing that has come from this pandemic is not having to wear makeup when we go out. So avoiding makeup under the mask will help as well.

Washing your pillowcase weekly and cleaning your cell phone & makeup brushes often will help as well.

If all else fails it’s time to look at your diet and see if you have a gluten sensitivity or dairy. These are common culprits of breakouts. Taking a probiotic daily can help as well.

So say goodbye to Maskne with these tips and hello to gorgeous skin…. I mean everyone is going to love it when you can finally take your mask off and reveal glowing skin am I right?
