Types of Chemical PeelsWritten by Laura Smith
If you are happy with your skin, you are a member of a very small group. Most people are very unhappy with condition of their skin. No matter how minor, these people look in mirror and see only see imperfections such as dull, acne prone, and aging skin. Sometimes mental anguish that some people suffer from such imperfections can send people to a dermatologist for help. For mild conditions dermatologists commonly recommend a chemical peel. As you would expect from name, a chemical peel involves using chemicals to “peel” top layer of skin. The result is elimination of unwanted skin conditions. A chemical peel can improve a variety of skin conditions. If you decide to have a chemical peel, your dermatologist will recommend one of three types of chemical peel, each corresponding to a specific level of treatment. The three types of chemical peel include light, medium, and deep. Depending on condition of your skin your skin specialist will recommend a particular treatment. Just as you would imagine, level of treatment generally coincides with seriousness of skin condition. The major exception is skin color. Regardless of skin condition, darker skin is reported to obtain better results. The main ingredients in a light or superficial chemical peel are alphahydroxy acids. Dermatologists recommend a light or superficial chemical peel for minor skin conditions such as aging spots, fine wrinkles, sun damage, dull skin, and minor acne. The chemical peel is left on skin for on a few minutes for a light peeling effect. This level of treatment generally provides quick results and requires fewer treatments for optimal results. A skin specialist usually recommends cleansing products for individual to use on a regular basis while they are undergoing chemical peel sessions. These products are beneficial because they help to ensure skin’s new surface is sustained.

Apply it gently on your face then leave for twenty minutes. Dampen cotton wool with cold milk and wipe it off. Finally, splash your face with cold water and apply light moisturizer.
