Brighten Your Skin for the Holidays With a Chemical Peel

Skin gets dull-looking. It’s just a fact of nature and the process of living. You don’t need to be complacent about it, and at ThriveOB and Women's Wellness in Barrington, Illinois, we recommend chemical peels to help you put your best face forward this holiday season.
Now is the perfect time to prepare for the holidays, and a chemical peel is a great way to get your skin in shape, ahead of the hustle and bustle. Let’s take a look at why your skin lacks luster and how a Vitality Institute peel can help.
Causes of dull skin
You may not think of your skin as an organ, a system of its own, with a living, breathing cycle. One of the reasons your skin loses its glow is simply the process of life.
Your body is constantly making new skin cells as old ones are shed. That shedding process can be inconsistent, and when you’re not turning them over, these flakes can build up, creating a dull, dry, and patchy surface that's visible to the world.
But that’s not all. Your epidermis may lose sparkle due to:
- Dehydration: fluid intake is crucial for the best-looking skin
- Skipping moisturizer: protects and nourishes skin, particularly through the cold months
- Aging: time isn’t a friend of your skin
- Smoking is not only bad for your insides, but it also speeds up the skin aging process
A solid cleaning and moisturizing routine can help, as long as you’re not washing aggressively, which can cause more harm than good by stripping natural skin oils and leading to irritation.
VI peels to the rescue
Dr. Jennifer Moreira recommends VI peels as an excellent way to revitalize your skin. With five levels of peel strength, we can tailor the proper treatment to suit your skin condition and type. Generally, the stronger the peel, the more dramatic the results; however, aggressive peels may require a longer recovery time.
We offer the following choices of VI peels:
Original
- Treats rough skin, making it an ideal choice for those new to peels or with sensitive skin.
Advanced
- Solves the problems associated with aging skin, including fine lines, wrinkles, loss of collagen, and reduced elasticity.
- A deeper peel that produces stronger results.
Precision Plus
- A peel formulation to counter the effects of sun damage and hyperpigmentation problems.
- Promotes improved skin tone and even color.
Purify
- Ideal for those with acne or acne-prone skin.
- Deep cleans congested pores.
Purify with Precision Plus
- Targets both active acne and acne scarring.
- Also tackles post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
There’s a VI peel that’s right for you, and right for your best look ahead of the holidays. Contact ThriveOB to learn more. Call or click to book today.
