There is a huge difference between a product containing a small percentage of glycolic acid and a DIY facial peel.
A chemical peel isn't for everyone, Dr Ravi Jain is a fan of laser resurfacing which he feels is less harsh on the skin.
The words ‘chemical’, ‘skin’ and ‘peel’ may not sound like a walk in the park, and indeed some are not, but for most, the results far outweigh what it takes to get there.
One of our members tested the Skin Culture Peel 3000. This is her daily account of what she experienced and the final result.
Does your skin lack a certain ‘je ne sais qois’? Perhaps it feels drier than it used to, and well, a bit flat? You can’t pinpoint when it happened exactly, but it definitely lacks lustre.
Not only can the sun’s harmful rays cause skin cancer, but they are also responsible for 90% of all visible signs of ageing, from lines and wrinkles to crepy skin and age spots.
Research has shown that most of us receive as much as 40% of our annual UV dose during summer weekends, so what should we be wearing on our skin everyday to ensure we’re properly protected?
Once the damage has been done, can it be reversed? The answer is yes, the question is how? According to Dr Stephanie Williams, ‘after sun exposure, a cream containing retinol will help repair photo damage, improve pigmentation and collagen metabolism’. She recommends using it two or three times a week from the age of 30 onwards.
According to statistics, using a sun bed for the first time before the age of 35 increases your risk of developing skin cancer by a shocking 75%.
