Chemical Peel : Why Winter Is The Best Time For it
Experts say that a chemical peel is a way to give your face a fresh new start. Although you can choose to get a chemical peel any time of the year, wintertime is considered a peeling season.
The best times to book your appointment for the chemical peel at AskCares, Studio City are between November and February.
Why? Because when temperatures drop and there’s less moisture in the air, there are plenty of heaters around you, your skin dries out quickly. Chemical peels are designed to create a safe amount of micro-damage that removes the top layer of dry, damaged skin to reveal smoother, more hydrated skin underneath. Essentially, a chemical peel allows new cells to grow more easily.
Chemical Peel benefits for all ages and most skin types:
Improves the skin’s color, clarity, tone, and texture

Can be customized for individual results

As for the benefits of having a Chemical Peel During the Winter Months?
The winter is harsh on the skin in a different way than the Summer months are.
By getting a chemical peel during cooler, winter months, your skin is much more protected during the recovery/healing stages.
This is especially true for those receiving treatment in multiple sessions to get the best results or choosing a deeper peel procedure.
Chemical peels expose deeper layers, which means the skin is much more sensitive to heat and UV rays post-application. Because it is less sunny in the winter, hyperpigmentation issues are better resolved by a chemical peel at this time.
The vitamins and acids in the peel work to shrink pores, correct fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate collagen and elastin production within the skin, and improve acne and hyperpigmentation.
Having a peel in the winter will prepare skin for the spring and summer, and have you looking your best with your skin luminous and glowing.
