Why Do You Need Chemical Peel?

Understanding Different Chemical Peels

Your skin cells undergo constant renewal within a 28-day time period. When you decide to undergo a chemical peel, it is important to consider several factors, such as your skin type, whether it is oily, normal, dry, or sensitive. Chemical peels are usually solutions of acid but their ability to infiltrate through the skin divides them into 3 classes which are usually superficial peel, medium peels and deep peels.
