As the seasons change, your skin often bears the brunt of harsh winter conditions—leaving it dry, dull, and in need of revitalization. Chemical peels offer an effective solution to exfoliate dead skin cells, promote cell turnover, and reveal a radiant, refreshed complexion.


Understanding Chemical Peels

A chemical peel involves applying a specialized solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layers, encouraging the growth of new, healthier skin. This process can address various skin concerns, including:

  • Dryness and flakiness

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Acne and acne scars

  • Hyperpigmentation


By removing the damaged outer layers, chemical peels help restore a smoother, more youthful appearance.


Benefits of Chemical Peels for Dry Winter Skin

Winter air tends to be low in humidity, which can strip moisture from your skin, leading to dryness and irritation. Chemical peels combat these effects by:


  • Exfoliating Dead Skin Cells: Removing the buildup of dead cells that contribute to a dull complexion.

  • Enhancing Moisture Retention: Stimulating the production of natural oils and improving the skin's ability to retain moisture.

  • Promoting Collagen Production: Encouraging the growth of new skin cells and collagen, which helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness.


These benefits make chemical peels an ideal treatment for rejuvenating your skin after the harsh winter months.


Types of Chemical Peels

At Bare Beauty Aesthetics, we offer a range of chemical peels, specifically the VI Peel system of Medium Depth Chemical Peels from the Vitality Institute. Because everyone’s skin is different, we will select a peel tailored to your specific skin needs:


  • Superficial Peels: Utilize mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. Suitable for all skin types, these peels address minor skin imperfections and provide a refreshed appearance. (Not offered at Bare Beauty)


  • Medium Peels: Penetrate deeper into the skin – down to the papillary dermis. The main ingredients include:

    • Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA): Exfoliates and stimulates collagen production.

    • Retinoic Acid: Promotes cell turnover and improves pigmentation and texture.

    • Salicylic Acid: A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that deeply cleans pores and reduces inflammation.

    • Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): An antioxidant that brightens skin and reduces pigmentation.

    • Phenol: Provides a deeper peel effect and acts as a topical anesthetic.


    These five ingredients form the foundation of all VI Peels, with customization options including:

    • VI Peel Precision Plus: For pigmentation, melasma, or sunspots. Contains hydroquinone (a skin-lightening agent), kojic acid (brightens and treats pigmentation), and arbutin (a natural lightening agent that helps prevent future pigment formation).

    • VI Peel Purify: Designed for active acne and oily skin. Includes benzoyl peroxide (kills acne-causing bacteria), azelaic acid (reduces inflammation and pigmentation), and lactic acid (gently exfoliates and hydrates).

    • VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus: Combines ingredients from both formulations to address acne and pigmentation.

    • VI Peel Advanced: Targets aging skin and wrinkles with higher concentrations of TCA and Retinoic Acid, plus Vitamin C.


  • Deep Peels: Target severe skin issues such as deep wrinkles, scars, and significant sun damage. Due to their intensity, deep peels require a longer recovery period but yield dramatic improvements. (Not offered at Bare Beauty)


Our experienced professionals will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate peel to achieve your desired results.


Post-Peel Care for Optimal Results

After a chemical peel, proper aftercare is crucial to ensure optimal healing and results:


  • Hydration: Keep your skin moisturized to aid the healing process and maintain softness.

  • Sun Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect the new skin from UV damage.

  • Gentle Skincare: Avoid using harsh products or exfoliants until your skin has fully recovered.


Each peel comes with post-peel care ingredients and instructions, making it easy to care for your skin.


Following these guidelines will help you enjoy the full benefits of your chemical peel and maintain a glowing complexion.
