During the transitions between seasons, skin is subjected to stress from the sun, cold, wind, and temperature changes. The result? Dull, dry, and tired skin. A cosmetic peel is the perfect way to renew it, eliminate dead cells, and make it instantly brighter and more receptive to subsequent treatments.

When is the ideal time to exfoliate?

Seasonal changes, especially between summer and autumn or winter and spring, are perfect. After summer, skin needs to be regenerated and prepared for the cold; at the end of winter, it needs to be freed from dryness and dullness. Peeling helps restore freshness, evenness, and vitality.

Chemical or mechanical peel?

Chemical peel : Uses acids such as AHAs (glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids) and BHAs (salicylic acid) to dissolve dead skin cells. AHAs improve hydration and texture, while BHAs penetrate pores and are ideal for oily or blemish-prone skin.

Mechanical peels : Scrubs and gommages that remove dead cells with exfoliating particles. They are effective but should be avoided on sensitive or irritated skin.

Remember: after exfoliating, always use an SPF 50 sunscreen, even if it's not summer.

How do you make a good peel?

Follow these steps:

1. Cleanse your body thoroughly with a gentle cleanser.
   
2. Apply the peel to dry skin, avoiding eyes and lips.
   
3. Massage the area vigorously.
4. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes.
5. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
   
6. Protect your skin the next day with an SPF 50 sunscreen .
   

Don't exfoliate more than 1-2 times a week and choose gentle formulas, especially if you have sensitive skin.

We recommend doing a test on the forearm area and then proceeding with the treatment.

Beware of the most common mistakes

Avoid exfoliating too often, don't use harsh products, and don't skip sunscreen. After exfoliation, your skin is more vulnerable: treat it gently to avoid redness or irritation.
