Maximise Your Professional Skin Peel Results with these Pre-Peel Tips
Preparing your skin before a professional skin peel is essential to enhance the peel’s effectiveness and to achieve the best possible results. This helps results in ensuring even application and deeper penetration of the exfoliating agents. This preparation not only improves the overall outcome of the peel but also helps your skin recover more swiftly and comfortably. By incorporating specific ingredients into your routine a few weeks before your treatment, you can optimise your skin's readiness, reduce potential irritation, and enhance the rejuvenating effects of the peel, ultimately revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.
It's important to tailor your pre-peel skincare routine to your specific skin type and concerns. Consult with the clinic before your appointment to provide personalised recommendations and determine when to start and stop these specific ingredients before your peel to achieve the best results.
What Ingredients Should I Incorporate and Why?
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
Alpha Hydroxy Acids, such as glycolic acid and lactic acid, are water-soluble acids that work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their shedding and revealing fresh, new skin.
AHA’s improve your skin’s texture by removing dead skin cells, making your skin smoother and more even. This allows the peel to work more effectively and penetrate more uniformly and deeply. AHAs can help brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots, leading to a more radiant complexion post-peel.
Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)
Beta Hydroxy Acids, such as salicylic acid, are oil-soluble acids that penetrate deep into the pores. They are especially effective for treating acne-prone and oily skin by exfoliating inside the pores.
BHA’s help unclog pores and reduce breakouts, which can improve the overall texture of your skin and enhance the effectiveness of the peel. Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm existing blemishes and prevent new ones from forming. By exfoliating inside the pores, BHAs help create a smoother surface for the peel, resulting in a more even and refined skin texture.
Retinoids
Retinoids are derivatives of Vitamin A that promote cell turnover and collagen production. They are well-known for their ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
Retinoids boost cell turnover, which helps remove dead skin cells and improves skin texture. They stimulate collagen production and retinoids can help reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone, enhancing the brightness and clarity of your complexion post-peel.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage, brightens the complexion, and supports collagen synthesis.
Vitamin C protects the skin from environmental damage, reducing oxidative stress and preventing further pigmentation issues. It helps brighten the skin and improve overall skin tone, which complements the peel’s exfoliating effects.
Tyrosinase Inhibitors
Tyrosinase inhibitors are ingredients used in skincare to help even out skin tone. They work by slowing down the production of melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its colour. When too much melanin is produced, it can lead to dark spots and uneven patches.
Using tyrosinase inhibitors can be a great way to brighten your complexion and reduce the appearance of dark spots. These ingredients help create a more balanced and radiant look by making your skin tone more even. By incorporating products with tyrosinase inhibitors into your routine, you can achieve a smoother and more uniform complexion, giving your skin a healthy and glowing appearance.
Preparing your skin with the right active ingredients—AHAs, BHAs, retinoids, Vitamin C and Tyrosinase Inhibitors—can significantly enhance the results of a professional skin peel. By incorporating these actives into your pre-peel routine, you can improve skin texture, enhance peel effectiveness, and achieve a brighter, more even complexion.
