Alternatives and Complements to Peels
While peels are a great tool in the care of your skin, sometimes these are not the preferred treatment of choice. For example, many clients of mine who have rosacea would benefit more from a treatment that reduces inflammation, as opposed to causing it. Other times, my clients need just a nourishing treatment to replenish those nutrients in the skin. These are just two examples, but many other scenarios are possible.
I particularly have found extremely beneficial oxygen and enzyme treatments. In my case, when I refer to oxygen, I don’t refer to oxygen as a gas, but rather as a product you apply to your skin. However, this innocent “product” has germicidal, and vasoconstriction properties, which decreases erythema resulting in tighter and brighter skin. The germicidal effect can be very effective in the case of acne; and the vasoconstriction, in the case of redness and rosacea. The end result is skin that is able to function better.
Enzyme treatments are also a great alternative for calming the skin, nourishing the skin, and more. They can remove keratin buildup, they can be anti-inflammatory and have vasoconstrictor properties while brightening and clarifying. There are many varieties each with a purpose of their own. They could be used alone or in combination with other treatments.
These are just more options to consider in your skincare routine. However, always remember that these options should be part of a plan, not isolated treatments.
