News and Advice
These 5 tips can help you keep your skin safe in the sun:
1. Stay in the shade, especially between 10:00 and 15:00, and wear protective clothing, hats and sunglasses. Loose‐fitting long‐sleeved shirts and long pants made from tightly woven fabric offer the best protection from the sun’s UV rays. A wet T‐shirt offers much less UV protection than a dry one.
How to choose the right chemical peel
Chemical peels with alpha-hydroxyacids are helpful in treating a variety of skin ailments. The alpha-hydroxyacid used most commonly for peels is glycolic acid. Unlike other chemical peels, alpha-hydroxyacids are not toxic to the skin. These acids have been shown to increase skin thickness up to 15% in patients with sun damaged thin skin. This occurs through the stimulation of collagen production, the skins natural support protein. Alpha-hydroxyacids also work by loosening and removing dead skin cells.
