You work all morning, your job is perhaps hectic, maybe your boss was an ogre today or it could have been the opposite: and you had a morning that dragged on! How could your upcoming lunch break change the tempo of the day? I have a question to ask you – “Have you ever tried a “Lunch Time Peel”?” It truly is a thing! There are women everywhere choosing a lunch break with a difference and treating themselves to a chemical peel !
After a lifetime of investing in beauty and skin knowledge, let me share some of the benefits of what may well end up to be your favorite lunch time ever !!
Chemical peels are solutions that help rejuvenate the skin and address many varieties of skin concerns. A Betahydroxy or Salicylic acid peel will help balance oils in the skin, by clearing black heads as well as getting those dead skin cells to turn over, creating smooth even skin. Alphahydroxy acid or Glycolic peels are great for drier skin types and will weaken the bonds that hold the dead skin cell build up in turn giving your skin a lovely glow and texture.
Some gentle acids can also treat skin disorders. Azelaic acid is known to treat rosacea, acne, and melasma. Lactic Acid is derived from milk, it is hydrating and gently plumps skin showing improvements in fine lines and evening out the skin’s tone.
There are many skin challenges we all face, and a “Lunch Time Peel” can help!
If you’re dealing with the frustrations of acne, scarring and enlarged pores, or the never ending fight against wrinkles, uneven skin tone and pigmentation issues, then the Aesthetics industry has stronger treatments like TCA or Resorcinol where the strength of acids is increased. We have the Jessner’s peel, a combination of resorcinol, salicylic and lactic acid that penetrates deeper into the skin aiding in correction of acne scars, hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. OK — full disclosure: with these stronger peels there may be the inconvenience of social downtime (i.e. you will have to wait for the peeling to subside to see the results). Then there is TCA (Trichloroacetic acid) which is generally a stronger peel that you would normally prepare yourself for mentally and socially! Meaning don’t do a TCA peel two days before your wedding, gala or that dreaded party where you’re quite certain your ex will be. TCAs can feel quite uncomfortable and usually cause peeling and redness for about 5 to 7 days, however the final results after those few days will blow your mind !!
To be completely honest I don’t like going through the process of peeling, irritated skin, I hate having to explain why I am wearing a baseball cap, why I won’t look up from under the visor and why I look like a snake who is going through ecdysis, however I will go through it for the results, BUT what if I can have the after effect without having to worry about going into hiding, then I would be in heaven!- Read on – skin paradise with no downtime awaits!!
Enter PRX Dermperfection. This amazing treatment is comfortable while being performed and leaves a tight beautiful look to the skin from beginning to end. PRX eliminates the inconvenience of downtime and risk that a regular TCA peel might give. PRX Dermperfection is safe for all skin types, targets aging skin with Kojic acid that adds to brightening and fading hyperpigmentation and causes stimulation for the skin’s regenerative process- and you can have it on your lunch break!!!
When I had the PRX treatment I was elated to see tighter, smoother beautiful skin immediately following the treatment. The aftercare was more simple than my regular skincare routine. The full process of the PRX Dermperfection series is one treatment every week for 4 weeks; which makes it a one month commitment for long lasting results that will thrill you and make lunch time rewarding !!
