The Calm Before the Chaos – Finding Peace in Life’s Busy Seasons
Fall is the perfect time to give your skin a fresh start. After a summer of sun exposure, heat, and humidity, many of us notice dullness, uneven tone, and damage showing up on our skin. One of the most effective ways to restore and refresh your complexion is with a chemical peel—and at Mind & Body, we’re here to walk you through the process every step of the way.
Why Choose a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional treatment that gently exfoliates the outer layer of skin to reveal a brighter, healthier layer beneath. Over time, this process helps:
- Reduce sun damage and pigmentation
- Improve skin texture and smoothness
- Minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles
- Clear and refine pores and breakouts
- Brighten dull or uneven skin tone
With consistent treatments, chemical peels can even stimulate collagen production, keeping your skin firmer and more youthful-looking over time.
The Perfect Derma™ Peel
At Mind & Body, we use the Perfect Derma™ Peel, a medium-depth, medical-grade peel that delivers incredible results with minimal downtime.
Key Ingredients & Benefits:
- Glutathione – the body’s master antioxidant that lightens, brightens, and slows the aging process
- Vitamin C – protects against free radicals, promotes healing, and boosts radiance
- Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) – reduces pigmentation, smooths fine lines, and resurfaces skin
- Salicylic Acid – deeply cleans pores and improves acne-prone skin
- Retinoic Acid – accelerates cell turnover and reduces wrinkles
- Kojic Acid – lightens dark spots and evens skin tone
- Phenol – enhances penetration for longer-lasting, more dramatic results
This peel is especially effective for treating hyperpigmentation, acne scars, melasma, sun damage, and dullness, leaving you with smoother, brighter, and healthier skin.
What to Expect
During your appointment, we’ll cleanse and prep your skin, apply the peel solution, and guide you through how it works. You may feel some tingling or warmth, which is completely normal. Afterward, your skin will look slightly pink or tight, and within a few days, you’ll notice the peeling process begin—this is when your old, damaged skin is shedding to reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath.
Post-Care: The First 7 Days
Your results depend not only on the peel but also on how you care for your skin afterward. Here’s a simple guide:
Day 1–2:
- Skin may feel tight, warm, or slightly red.
- Keep skin clean and moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free products.
- Avoid makeup if possible.
Day 3–5:
- Peeling usually begins—don’t pick or pull at the skin. Let it shed naturally.
- Use a gentle cleanser and apply a nourishing moisturizer several times a day.
- Avoid sweating, hot showers, or exercise that could irritate the skin.
Day 6–7:
- Most peeling will be complete.
- Continue to hydrate the skin and use sunscreen daily.
- Skin will look brighter, smoother, and refreshed.
Golden Rule: Always wear broad-spectrum SPF daily after a peel to protect your new skin and maintain results.
