For those with rosacea and eczema, the winter months are hard on the skin. In fact, there’s less moisture in the air when temperatures are low, so even those with normal skin experience excessive dryness in the winter months. A chemical peel can effectively remove dry, damaged skin from the face to reveal more youthful, smooth, moisturized skin. After a chemical peel, it is strongly advised that patients avoid the sun. The gloomy weather of the winter months is on your side when healing from a chemical peel, which often takes 7-10 days depending on the depth of the peel. To follow is some more information about chemical peels and why the winter months are the perfect time to rejuvenate your skin.
