Summer is in full swing, and while we all love the warm weather and sunshine, it can be a challenging time for our skin. Sun exposure, humidity, and increased outdoor activities can lead to a host of skin issues such as sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and clogged pores. That’s why a VI Peel can be your skin’s best friend this summer! Let’s dive into the benefits of getting a VI Peel during the summer months and how it can help you achieve that glowing, healthy skin.
What is a VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medical-grade medium depth chemical peel that combines powerful ingredients to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. It is suitable for all skin types and can address a variety of skin concerns, including acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. The peel contains a unique blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C, which work together to rejuvenate the skin.
Benefits of VI Peels for Summer Skin
1. Combat Sun Damage
Summer sun can cause significant damage to your skin, leading to hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and uneven skin tone. A VI Peel helps to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. This process can significantly reduce the appearance of sun damage and leave your skin looking more even and radiant.
2. Brighten and Even Out Skin Tone
The VI Peel contains ingredients that target pigmentation issues, making it an excellent treatment for those struggling with melasma, age spots, and other types of hyperpigmentation. By breaking down the melanin clusters in the skin, the peel helps to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone, giving you a brighter complexion.
3. Clear Acne and Prevent Breakouts
Summer heat and humidity can lead to increased oil production, which can clog pores and result in breakouts. The VI Peel includes salicylic acid, a potent beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates deep into the pores to clear out impurities and reduce acne. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.
4. Improve Skin Texture
The combination of acids in the VI Peel works to exfoliate dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, leading to smoother, softer skin. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and rough patches, giving your skin a youthful, polished look.
5. Boost Collagen Production
One of the key benefits of the VI Peel is its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. By promoting collagen synthesis, the peel helps to firm up the skin and reduce the signs of aging, such as sagging and wrinkles.
6. Minimal Downtime
Unlike some other chemical peels, the VI Peel has minimal downtime, making it perfect for the busy summer months. You might experience some peeling for a few days after the treatment, but it is generally mild and can be easily managed with proper skincare. This means you can enjoy your summer activities without significant interruptions.
Post-Peel Care Tips for Summer
To maximize the benefits of your VI Peel and protect your skin during the summer, here are some essential post-peel care tips:
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive after the peel, so it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and seek shade whenever possible. A wide-brimmed visor like the BlueStone SunSheild is our go to for preventing damage from the summer sun and heat.Â
- Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours when outdoors.
- Gentle Skincare: Use th gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers that come with the VI Peel to keep your skin calm and nourished. Avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants for a week after the peel.If you are prone to acne breakouts after a treatment we recommend this gentle cleanser to decrease inflammation and kill acne causing bacteria.
