Your skin is the largest organ on your body. Keeping that in mind, it’s important that you take good care of it. Skin can be looked after by moisturising and applying nourishing face packs to it. Should you want to take it up a notch, then you must give chemical peels a shot! They help to treat wrinkles, fine lines, sunspots and acne scars. In a nutshell, they work hard to improve the skin’s texture and colour.
How Is A Chemical Peel Done?

According to Dr Sushant Shetty, Head – Medical Operations, Services and Engineering, Kaya Limited, a chemical peel is a technique that is used by certified dermatologists to improve the skin’s appearance and texture. A cocktail of exfoliants/chemicals in accurate concentration is applied to the skin and eventually wiped off. The agent acts on your skin and exfoliates it. The top layer of the skin eventually peels off, giving way to smoother, even-toned skin. It might sound a bit scary, but when done under the supervision of a certified dermatologist, it is an effective solution to a variety of skin concerns ranging from dullness to wrinkles and acne etc.

How To Take Care Of Your Skin After A Chemical Peel?
Dr Sushant Shetty also stresses on the fact that after the chemical peel session, the skin is prone to sun damage. Hence, use a UVA & UVB protection sunscreen and limit your exposure to the sun. Avoid peeling the skin–it should exfoliate by itself and shed. Avoid using strong soaps and other products as they tend to irritate the skin. You may also need to avoid swimming and sun exposure based activities for awhile. Based on your skin type and needs, of course, this information will be explained to you in detail by your dermatologist.
