Two Facial Add Ons You Need This Fall
The most essential seasons to get your skin on track are the transitional ones like Fall and Spring. For your best holiday glow, use November to get a peel with your next facial to shed away the skin that no longer serves you. Getting your skin prepped now for the winter months ahead is a must to strengthen the barrier and boost its moisture and radiance. We’re taking our first (and early) snowfall of the season as the perfect opportunity to book our facials and let you know what to ask for at your next appointment.
The winter wreaks havoc on the skin due to dropping temperatures and low humidity. After the summer, most of us enter the Fall with damaged, clogged skin. This is a result of prolonged sun exposure, sweat, and product buildup on the face, along with increased exposure to chemicals such as chlorinated pool water. All of this congestion and damage reduces your skin barrier’s strength, increasing the chances of its vulnerability during the winter months.
October through mid-November is known in the beauty world as the ‘peel’ season. These are the months you have downtime from outdoor activities and just enough time before the holidays to look your best. At BODY, there are 4 types of peels we offer, each with different intensities depending on your skin’s history and needs. Lactic acid is our most gentle peel and is usually where we begin for first-time clients or those who prefer a lighter type of acid to reveal their glow. Salicylic and glycolic step it up a notch. Salicylic gets deep into clogged pores and other acne concerns, while glycolic exfoliates the skin's surface, revealing a more radiant appearance. Jessner is our most robust peel that helps improve the dull appearance of skin while activating the skin’s healing response, bringing in new fresher-looking skin.
While peels focus on shedding away dead skin, stem cells are an essential add-on as every facial is an opportunity to increase the skin’s cell turnover. This helps with fine lines, wrinkles, and overall complexion. Whether you’re booking a Natural Face Lift, Oxygen Facial, Bio Radiance Acupuncture Facial, or Hydra Facial, adding a peel and stem cell treatment will give you the boost your skin seeks to thrive and mitigate damage. Your best winter skin is born in the fall, this is your sign to ensure your radiance doesn’t take the backseat.
