Winter Skincare Boost: How Chemical Peel Treatment Can Revive Dull Skin

The dry, cold winter months can easily leave the skin dull, dehydrated, and sensitive if not properly cared for. If your skin is losing its radiance in winter, the right changes to your skincare routine are essential. An impeccable way to boost a winter skincare routine is to incorporate prescription exfoliating acids. Chemical peel treatment in Gurgaon at Citrine Clinic can address a multitude of winter skin issues and help them flaunt a glowing and radiant skin tone.

How Chemical Peels Help Achieve Radiant Skin?

Chemical peels are the safest, FDA-cleared exfoliating acids that work to remove dull, damaged, or aging skin and reveal a smoother, brighter, and more refreshed layer beneath. When applied to the dull skin, they cause a controlled injury that even triggers the body’s natural healing response and encourages skin regeneration. It also boosts collagen production and new skin cell development that make the skin look rejuvenated, smoother and youthful.

Best Chemical Peels to Achieve Winter Glow

Chemical peels, based on their strength, are of three types: Superficial, Medium, and Deep. Superficial peels work only on the skin's surface to remove mild dullness, fine lines, and wrinkles. Medium peel is for unclogging pores, controlling breakouts, and reducing post-inflammatory marks. Strong peel is for deeper exfoliation to fight deep lines and wrinkles.

Generally, alpha and beta hydroxy acids (mild to medium strength peels) are recommended to fight winter dullness. Most recommended ones are:

• Glycolic acid
• Lactic acid
• Low-strength TCA peel
• Salicylic acid peel
• Ret-inol peel.

Dr. Niti Gaur, popular dermatologist in Gurgaon at Citrine Clinic, can only help select the right chemical peel based on one’s skin condition, health, and appearance.

Why Chemical Peels Hit Right for Winter Dullness?

Winter chemical peel treatment offers the following benefits:

• A safer, speedier healing of the treated skin
• A more comfortable, stress-free recovery
• Fading of persistent summer damages- the discoloration or uneven skin tone  
• Collagen and elastin boost- to improve skin firmness and elasticity
• Removal of the build-up of dead, dry skin cells and a clearer, brighter complexion
• Maximum effectiveness of topicals- skin lightening/hydrating serums and moisturisers.

How to Ensure Winter Chemical Peels Work Optimally?

1. Be Well Prepared for the Chemical Peeling Session.

Getting the winter skin properly ready is crucial to ensure a safe and effective chemical peel treatment. So, before starting chemical peel treatment, here’s what should be done:

• Consult the expert- Choose a qualified, skilled, and experienced skincare professional with a license to perform cosmetic procedures. Make sure that the chosen professional practices at a reputable, modern skin clinic. Speak with the professional and determine the best-suited peel type.
• Be gentle with the skin- In the days leading up to the chemical peeling appointment, avoid use of retinols/retinoids or other harsh skin products that could irritate the skin to be treated.
• Ensure optimal inside-out hydration and nourishment: The skin should be well nourished and moisturised before peel application for it to respond best.
• Practice sun-protection- Be consistent with the use of broad-spectrum sunscreen and wearing of sun-protective clothing and shades. Also, avoid tanning beds to prevent skin damage before the peel.

2. Diligently Follow Proper Post-Peel Care Instructions.

The desired effect of the chemical peel is apparent only when one follows all the aftercare instructions, and there are no complications. Here are the aftercare guidelines of chemical peel treatment that one needs to adhere to until the treated skin heals completely:

• Ensure adequate hydration- Increase daily water intake, use a suitable moisturiser, and even use a humidifier indoors.
• Commit to UV-protection- Shield the treated skin from direct UV light by wearing sunscreen and sun-protective clothing when outdoors.
• Use gentle skincare products- Be extra careful with what product is used on the treated skin.
• Do not be harsh with skin- Avoid picking, peeling, rubbing, or scratching of the treated skin.
• Refrain from direct heat exposure- Refrain from hot showers/baths, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous workouts for the first 2 days.
• Schedule for Follow-Ups- Follow-up visits are crucial to ensure recovery goes smoothly and any issues are promptly checked and addressed.
