Refining Peel Treatments
ReFINing treatments, or peels, are a form of chemical exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and dissolve away debris.
Acids are the main active ingredient in a facial peel, such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) sourced from fruit and plants. Unlike physical exfoliants, peel ingredients sink into the skin, targeting deeper layers. In fact, peels are actually often considered to be more gentle than a scrub. For those with a sensitive skin type who still want to smooth and refresh their complexion, a light peel is a fantastic option that won’t aggravate their complexion.
The 5 Benefits Of A Professional Peel TREATMENT
When applied by a facial therapist or certified esthetician, professional peels from the Eminence Organics line are perfectly safe and give amplified results.
1. More Active Ingredients
While at-home peels contain 1-5% active ingredients, professional peels generally contain anywhere from 10%-20%. What does this mean for your skin? An even greater concentration of the results-driven ingredients found in your favourite at-home skin care products. This doesn’t mean that it’s time to say goodbye to your home care routine; using an at-home peel twice a week is an excellent way to extend and enhance the benefits of a professional peel.
2. Faster Skin Cell Turnover
Professional lactic acid peels deliver a high percentage of active ingredients to kickstart your skin’s renewal process. Lactic acid gently breaks down the glue that holds dead skin cells together and dissolves superficial surface buildup. Dermatologist Dr. David Bank tells Allure: “As that topmost layer is shed, signals are sent to the living cells below to multiply and move up, to increase collagen production, to make more hyaluronic acid — to act younger."
3. Better Product Absorption
Shedding old cells on the surface and revealing new ones are an important benefit for the rest of your skin care routine; your skin becomes more absorbent and receptive to the skin care products that follow. With no dead skin cells blocking their way, the active ingredients in the rest of your routine can penetrate more deeply. The result: an even better performance by your favourite
4. Immediate Visible Results
Due to their potency, professional peels are designed to deliver maximum benefits in a short amount of time. This means you can expect your skin to look softer, smoother and more radiant after your first spa visit. Reader’s Digest recommends getting a series of mild peels every few weeks to keep your skin looking its best.
5. Minimal Downtime
Unlike more extreme peels, professional Eminence peels require little to no downtime. And they’re absolutely safe when used according to protocol by an Eminence Organics-trained facial therapist.
