Why Autumn is the Perfect Time for a Skin Reset: Prepping for Chemical Peels and More

Why Autumn is the Perfect Time for a Skin Reset: Prepping for Chemical Peels and More

From bold knitwear to skincare upgrades, autumnal new beginnings take many forms. We can let the summer live on in our glowing complexions as temperatures dip. That means scheduling our favourite big-impact, rejuvenating treatments: peels. 

 

What Is A Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is simply an exfoliating solution containing actives including alpha-hydroxy (AHA) and/or beta-hydroxy (BHA) acids applied by a skincare professional to help the body shift dead skin cells. AlumierMD’s customised exfoliating peels reduce the visible effects of sun damage, including fine lines and discolouration, and boost radiance, in each clinically proven application. 

Results can be seen after just one treatment, which takes around 30 minutes with no downtime. In-clinic peels give the greatest results but using at-home products between appointments can increase the benefits (AKA better, longer-lasting results and therefore more from your investment). Arriving with clinic-ready skin means it’s prepped for anything — ready to respond to active ingredients and your pro’s magic touch.

It works the other way, too: Chemical peels are a minimally invasive way to exfoliate the top layers of the skin, making it plump and primed and allowing for easier absorption of all the active ingredients from your daily skincare routine, so they technically make your skincare work harder.

Find a pro near you who will customise a peel treatment for your unique skin needs and personal skin goals. (Say ‘hello’ to radiant, glowing skin this autumn!)

 

How To Boost Your Radiance At Home 

AlumierMD’s hybrid formulas are packed with multiple active ingredients and can deliver deep exfoliation and radiant skin via your daily skincare routine and between appointments:

  • Enzymatic Peel is a revitalising enzyme peel with alpha hydroxy acids and fruit enzymes to exfoliate dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Kick-starting your exfoliation at home means you won't be starting from scratch when you get to the clinic and you’ll get the most out of your in-clinic treatment. 

 

  • Aqua Infusion Mask is the peel-prep hero product, loaded with hyaluronic acid for a hydration boost before treatments. It restores the skin’s natural barrier function, strengthening it and offering protection from irritation. This means your pro won't have to navigate sensitive skin and can push your results a little further. 


  • The Prep & Enhance — Discolouration and Prep & Enhance — Rejuvenation each contain four curated products to reduce discolouration and rejuvenate the skin, getting skin into peak performance before professional treatments (including peels!). The kits contain: EverActive C&E® + Peptide, Retinol Resurfacing Serum 0.5, Clear Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Intellibright® Complex ( Prep & Enhance: Discolouration) and Ultimate Boost Serum (in the Prep & Enhance: Rejuvenation),
