Why Skin Peels Are Good For You

Summer is a time when we most like to feel good about our skin. After all, we expose more of it to the elements and love the feel of the sun on it, although of course that has to be balanced with sufficient protection against burning, especially for those with fair skin.

At the same time, now is a time to pay a lot of attention to skin for more reasons than having a bit of  a tan, especially when one likes to have the best possible complexion ahead of traditional summer events like weddings.

If you are looking at skincare options, you may wonder how much benefit skin peels can bring. The answer is: quite a lot.

A key benefit is that it encourages the production of collagen. This is your skin’s natural skin- replenishing substance and while production starts to diminish after the age of 30, the peel will encourage more of it, ensuring skin stays less dry and more elastic.

Exfoliation also benefits from a chemical peel by toning up the process and reduces fine lines. All this also helps reduce scarring and wrinkles.

However, these are not the only benefits. Speaking to HT Lifestyle, dermatologist Dr Chytra V Anand noted that it can also deal with issues like pigmentation.

Among these are sun damage and its common effects such as blotches and freckles. Furthermore, it can also help treat melasma, which is where grey-brown patches appear on the skin. Another effect is to tackle rosacea, a skin ailment that causes a lot of red blotches and bumps, although this is more effective in mild cases than in severe ones.

Quite simply, skin peels are not there just to make tiny incremental gains. They can have a highly positive impact on a wide range of conditions. Nobody will have all of these ailments, but everyone will age and have a level of vulnerability to sun damage (varying with skin colour), so a skin peel will have benefits for everyone.
