Peel Away the Damage: Why Chemical Peels Are the Ultimate End-of-Summer Reset

After Summer, Your Skin Needs a Fresh Start

Summer is all about sunshine, vacations, and long days outdoors — but let’s be honest: your skin often pays the price.

Between sun exposure, sweat, heat, and heavy SPF use, your skin can start to look dull, uneven, or congested. Texture builds up, pores clog, and those freckles from sun-kissed days might be sticking around longer than you'd like.

At Bare Beauty Aesthetics, we believe August is the perfect time to hit reset with one of our favorite treatments: the VI Peel, a medical-grade chemical peel that’s designed to gently exfoliate, renew, and restore your glow.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a blend of safe, targeted ingredients to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate fresh cell turnover. It’s one of the most effective ways to address a range of skin concerns — all while revealing smoother, clearer, more radiant skin underneath.

Chemical peels are especially beneficial after summer because they:

✔️ Remove built-up dead skin cells

✔️ Smooth rough, uneven texture

✔️ Target dark spots, sun damage, and melasma

✔️ Refine pores and clear congestion

✔️ Boost collagen and skin clarity

Think of it as a deep clean with long-lasting benefits — perfect for prepping your skin for fall.

The VI Peel: Customized Care for Your Unique Skin

At Bare Beauty, we use the VI Peel system from the Vitality Institute, known for delivering powerful results with minimal downtime. Each peel is tailored to your skin type and goals. Here’s a look at our most popular options:

1.  VI Peel Precision Plus

Ideal for: Sunspots, pigmentation, melasma, and uneven toneTargets discoloration with a brightening blend of hydroquinone, kojic acid, and arbutin to fade stubborn pigment and prevent future dark spots.

2. VI Peel Purify

Ideal for: Acne-prone or congested skinFormulated with salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and azelaic acid to clear pores, reduce inflammation, and calm active breakouts.

3. VI Peel Advanced

Ideal for: Aging skin, fine lines, and textureA higher concentration of TCA and retinoic acid stimulates collagen, smooths lines, and helps improve firmness.

What to Expect: Before, During, and After Your Peel

• Before Your Peel: You’ll start with a consultation to assess your skin type and goals. We’ll choose the right VI Peel for you and give you pre-treatment guidelines to follow.

  
  

• During Your Peel: The process takes about 30–45 minutes. The solution is applied in layers and left on your skin for several hours. It’s painless, though some clients feel a light tingling or warmth.

  
  

• After Your Peel: You’ll leave with an aftercare kit and detailed instructions. Most clients experience light peeling or flaking between days 2–5. It’s important to:

  • Stay hydrated

  • Avoid sun exposure

  • Follow your post-care plan (including SPF!)

Within 7–10 days, you’ll start to see brighter, smoother skin — with full results revealing over several weeks.

Why Now Is the Time to Peel

August is the ideal month to schedule your peel. UV exposure begins to decline as summer winds down, making it safer to do exfoliating treatments. It also gives your skin time to recover before fall — when drier weather and back-to-routine stress can challenge your complexion again.

Whether you want to lighten sunspots, clear post-vacation breakouts, or just freshen up before the season changes, a VI Peel can help you shed summer and step into fall with confidence.
