• If youre new to skin peels, the words may sound
  a bit scary and put you off before you even
  start.
• But Im here to answer your questions and put
  your mind at ease.

• So what exactly is a Chemical Peel or Skin Peel?
• Chemical peels or skin peels as they are also
  known, are designed to resurface the superficial
  layer of the skin to promote the skins natural
  regeneration process, revealing healthier,
  fresher skin.
• A bit like an exfoliant works on clearing away
  dead skin to leave your skin clean and soft, a
  chemical or skin peel works by burning the outer
  layer of the skin to allow the skin to shed the
  outer layers of damage and to regenerate new
  healthy cells from underneath the skin.
• Its name comes from the chemical reaction that is
  caused on the surface of the skin that burns
  the old skin off.

• Are Skin Peels safe?
• In the last five years a lot of research has been
  published on the side effects of harsh chemical
  and skin peels and the increased risk of post
  traumatic pigmentation (dark spots) as a response
  to the trauma caused by the peel.
• As an alternative to the traditional chemical or
  skin peel, some peels have been developed to
  create a peeling action by stimulating natural
  cell renewal, through the active ingredients
  contained in them.
• When this cell renewal occurs at a lower depth in
  the skin, it will cause the skin to rapidly shed
  its outer layer.  While you will get some light
  peeling or flaking, the skin wont actually
  peel off in layers.

• This is much safer for the skin because it wont
  put the skin under any stress or trauma. If the
  skin does suffer trauma through peeling, you can
  cause post traumatic pigmentation where
  pigmentation occurs because the skin has been
  damaged, and the darker pigment is stimulated as
  a means of protection for the body.
• How do I know if my skin peel is safe?
• The best way to identify if the skin peel is safe
  is to look for a therapist using PHAs (poly
  hydroxy acids) and to ask the therapist if you
  will have any physical skin peeling, ie will
  your skin come off in layers, like sunburn.
• This indicates a rapid burn and its this type
  of trauma that can cause pigment as a response.

6

• What sort of skin conditions does a chemical or
  skin peel treat?
• They can improve problems such as fine lines,
  sun damage, pigmentation, acne and scarring.
• Are skin peels painful?
• We think they shouldnt be. The deeper a peel is,
  the more likely it is that you will experience
  pain.
• eKSeption peels are based on PHAs which are
  superficial yet effective, and there are usually
  no side effects or pain, other than a slight
  tingling or burning, and possibly a little
  redness.

• Deeper peels can create what we call excessive
  peeling, where the skin shed the damaged layer,
  similar to when we get badly sunburnt. This is
  not only painful and unsightly, it can create
  more problems by triggering a response from the
  melanocyte, which produces the darker pigment in
  the skin.
• How are they applied?
• Having a chemical peel is not much different to
  having a regular facial. The skin peel solution
  is usually a gel or liquid solution, which is
  applied to the face with a brush. Its left on
  the skin for a short period of time to do its
  work, before being neutralised and rinsed off.
• eKSeption peels are unique in that they also use
  hyaluronic acid and peptides to fight the ageing
  process and hydrate the skin, leaving the skin
  plump and healthy, rather than burning off the
  outer layers.

• Chemical Peel At Home vs in-clinic Skin Peels
• As with most cosmetic treatments, trained
  therapists in a salon or clinic can use much
  stronger products than are available for home
  use.
• If you are considering an in-salon skin peel or
  if you are not located near a good clinic, you
  can start with a chemical peel at home program to
  kick start the renewal process.
• Ideally, you would commence a chemical peel at
  home program two weeks prior to the salon
  appointment. So when you get to your salon
  treatment, you have already started the peeling
  process and you will achieve much better results.

9

• To start your chemical peel at home program, you
  will need four products.
• Cleanser either all in one cleanse and
  peel (all skins) or micellar water cleanse and
  peel (oily / combination skin)
• monsoon mist tone and peel
• PHA activator (which turns off the melanocyte to
  stop dark spots)
• all day shield (SPF50 sun protection)
• Even if you just want to do your peeling program
  at home, these four products are the building
  blocks of beautiful new skin.

• Add caviar peel every three days for 3-8 weeks
  for a gentle, nourishing and hydrating at-home
  peel to improve skin radiance.
