These days, beauty aficionados have a wide variety of services they can choose from for improving their skin's appearance, but, for all the high-tech options available, today's patient exfoliation treatments, called chemical peels, remain the easiest and simplest procedure you can use for supporting beautiful skin.
In a typical chemical peel, a mild fruit derived acid applied to the skin surface, loosens dead cells, initiating biochemistry that results in stronger, softer, smoother skin, a lightening of dark spots, improved healing of blemishes and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
Chemical peels can be done at home using mild solutions of glycolic, lactic or salicylic acids or, for more intense and dramatic peel, that can be done professionally in a salon using stronger versions of these same molecules.
For best results after a chemical peel, make sure you're applying fat soluble vitamin C and using nutritional supplements. You can also eat right to heal. Eggs, seafood, mushrooms and pineapple are especially important post peel healing foods.
