As the seasons change and the weather gets colder, we start pulling out our sweaters and sipping on hot drinks, but our skin may not be as excited. The chilly air can be tough on the skin, leaving it dry, flaky, and sensitive. If you’re thinking about joining the *"We Peeling this Season"* party at Skindelush, we want to make sure your skin is ready to glow — without getting burnt by the cold.
When the temperature drops, so does the moisture in the air, which can leave your skin dehydrated. Heating indoors doesn’t help either, as it tends to zap whatever moisture is left. The result? A compromised skin barrier. And no one wants to mess with chemical peels on already stressed-out skin.
What’s a Skin Barrier, Anyway?
Your skin barrier is like your personal bodyguard. It’s the outer layer of your skin that keeps the good stuff (like moisture) in and the bad stuff (like pollutants and irritants) out. But when the weather is working against you, your barrier can weaken, leading to irritation, redness, and even breakouts.
Before diving into chemical peels, we want to make sure your skin is in top shape to handle the transformation. Think of it as training for a marathon — you wouldn’t run 26 miles without some prep work, right?
Here’s how we get your skin barrier in check:
Hydration is Key: Keep your skin moisturized, even before you think about peels. We recommend using a hydrating serum and a rich moisturizer to lock in all the goodness.
Avoid Harsh Products: Now’s not the time for intense exfoliation or aggressive treatments. Let your skin chill out (no pun intended) and focus on soothing, calming ingredients.
Get a Skindelush Facial: To ensure your skin is in the best shape possible, we recommend booking at least two facials before your first chemical peel. This will help strengthen your skin barrier and get rid of any surface debris, so your peel can work its magic without irritating your skin.
Consult with Us First: Before we start the chemical peel fiesta, come in for a skin consultation. We’ll check your skin’s hydration levels and make sure your barrier is strong enough to handle the peel.
