PEEL? AND HOW DOES 
IT WORK?

IF YOU’RE NEW TO SKIN PEELS, 
THE WORDS MAY SOUND A BIT 
SCARY AND PUT YOU OFF BEFORE 
YOU EVEN START.
BUT I’M 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 SKIN’S 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 WON’T ACTUALLY ‘PEEL’ OFF IN LAYERS.
THIS IS MUCH SAFER FOR THE SKIN BECAUSE IT WON’T 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 IT’S THIS TYPE OF TRAUMA THAT CAN CAUSE PIGMENT 
AS A RESPONSE.
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 SHOULDN’T 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. IT’S 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.
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.
