Winter is the Best Time To Have a Chemical Peel | Here's why
At Avari Beauty, we believe in offering treatments that not only make you look your best but also work in harmony with the changing seasons. As we welcome winter here in White Bear Lake, MN, it's the perfect time to give your skin the care it deserves with a chemical peel. But why is winter the ideal season for this rejuvenating treatment? Let’s dive into the benefits of getting a chemical peel during the colder months and share some expert tips to ensure you get the best results.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that involves applying a specially formulated solution to the skin, whichhelps remove dead skin cells and stimulate new cell growth. This process can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage, leaving you with smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. At Avari Beauty, we customize each chemical peel to meet your skin's unique needs, ensuring the best results possible.
Why Winter is the Best Time for a Chemical Peel
While chemical peels can be done year-round, winter offers a few distinct advantages for this treatment:
Less Sun Exposure
One of the key reasons winter is the best time for a chemical peel is that your skin will be more protected from the sun. After a peel, your skin will be more sensitive and prone to sunburn, and exposure to UV rays can cause irritation and compromise the healing process. During winter, we tend to spend less time outdoors, and when we do, we’re often bundled up in layers or bundled in cozy scarves, which means less risk of sun exposure. This gives your skin the best chance to recover and renew without the threat of UV damage.
Optimal Recovery Time
Winter is also the season when most people are more indoors, giving you the opportunity to rest and recover without the usual outdoor activities or intense exercise that might cause excessive sweating or rubbing of the treated skin. This extra time indoors allows your skin to heal and regenerate, which can result in better, more noticeable results.
At Avari Beauty, we offer highly effective GlyMed peels that are safe for all skin types and tones, ensuring that everyone can experience the rejuvenating benefits of this advanced skincare treatment. We also offer the popular BioRePeel! Here are a couple of our most popular peels from Glymed and an explanation of the BioRePeel!
Peptide Perfection Peel
If you're looking for a peel with minimal downtime and glowing, refreshed skin, the Peptide Perfection Peel is a fantastic option. This gentle yet powerful peel stimulates protein turnover, which is essential for maintaining the skin’sregeneration and vitality. It helps fight environmental aging and prevent DNA oxidation, leaving your skin looking radiant and youthful. With a blend of AHAs, including Mandelic, Malic, and Lactic acids, this peel exfoliates effectively while being gentle enough for sensitive skin, ensuring you’ll experience little to no peeling post-treatment.
5-Berry Pigment Control Peel
For those dealing with signs of photo-aging, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or acne, the 5-Berry Pigment Control Peel offers an ideal solution. This potent peel combines 7% TCA with the power of five antioxidant-rich berries—cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and bearberry. These natural ingredients work to repair and protect the skin, while the TCA helps to smooth wrinkles and even out skin tone. What’s even better is that this peel is colorblind, making it safe for all skin types, from lighter to deeper tones.
BioRePeel
The BioRePeel treatment is a gentle yet powerful chemical peel designed to rejuvenate and refresh the skin by addressing common concerns like acne scars, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and uneven texture. Using a combination of exfoliating acids, vitamins, and amino acids, it works in two phases: exfoliating the skin’s surface to reveal a smoother layer and stimulating deeper cellular renewal for long-lasting improvements. This treatment is suitable for all skin types, offering noticeable results such as brighter, clearer skin, reduced acne marks, minimized pores, and improved elasticity with minimal downtime. It’s an excellent option for those looking to achieve a radiant complexion with remarkable results without invasive procedures.
All of these peels are designed to work with your skin’s unique needs, delivering targeted results without the harsh side effects that some chemical peels can cause. Our skilled estheticians will help determine which peel is best for you based on your skin type and goals.
Pro-Tip: Enhance Your Results with Dermaplaning
For maximum results, consider combining your chemical peel with a dermaplaning treatment—an ideal duo that works wonders for your skin! Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), allowing for deeper product penetration. When paired with a chemical peel, dermaplaning helps the active ingredients in the peel to absorb more effectively, delivering smoother, brighter skin faster. This combination is a favorite among clients looking for that extra glow and rejuvenation. Not only will your skin feel incredibly smooth, but you'll also experience more even texture and enhanced radiance.
Please note: This treatment is not suitable for individuals with active acne, erythema/bruised skin, sunburn, non-controlled diabetes, those undergoing cancer treatments, cold sores, or epilepsy. Always consult with one of our expert estheticians to determine the best treatment plan for your skin.
How to Care for Your Skin After a Chemical Peel
While winter offers an ideal environment for a chemical peel, it’s important to follow proper aftercare to achieve the best results. Here are some tips to ensure your skin stays healthy and glowing post-peel:
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Post-peel, your skin will need hydration to recover. Be sure to use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer regularly. Look for products with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and antioxidants to help restore moisture and protect your skin.
Use Sunscreen Every Day
Even though it’s winter, sunscreen is still essential. After a chemical peel, your skin is more vulnerable to sun damage, so applying broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is a must—even on cloudy days. You’ll want to protect your freshly rejuvenated skin from UV rays to avoid pigmentation issues or further damage.
Avoid Harsh Products
For a few days after your peel, it's best to avoid using products that contain harsh ingredients, such as retinol or exfoliating scrubs. Stick to gentle, soothing cleansers and serums that help your skin heal.
Resist the Urge to Pick or Scrub
Your skin may peel or flake a bit as it heals, but resist the temptation to pick at it. Let the skin shed naturally to avoid scarring or irritation. It’s a good idea to keep your hands away from your face and avoid any abrasive scrubs.
