Chemical peeling

During this treatment, the top layer of dead skin cells is removed from the skin using acids. You have AHA peels and Salicylic acid peels in different strengths. AHAs such as glycolic acid or lactic acid work best for mature skin, while a peel with salicylic acid is more likely to provide a solution for skin that suffers from acne or rosacea. A good acne peel will therefore usually contain high concentrations of salicylic acid.

A chemical peel improves your skin texture and also makes your skin firmer. This is because your skin produces new skin cells in the period after the peeling. A strong chemical peel is usually done under the supervision of a skin therapist or in a clinical setting. It gives you smoother, more even skin.

Chemical peeling dark skin

Dark skin requires a slightly different approach than white people when it comes to a chemical peel. The fact is that people with dark skin are more likely to suffer from scars or hyperpigmentation after healing a wound or after acne. Melasma also occurs more often in people who have a dark skin color.

When undergoing a chemical peel in a clinical setting, it is wise to take this into account. And for dark skin, a sunscreen with at least factor 30 , factor 50 or even SPF 50+ is needed to prevent hyperpigmentation. However, all this does not mean that a chemical peel cannot be beneficial for people with dark skin.
