Summer Friendly Chemical Peels: Alumier BHA, AHA Duo, Renew 30 Explained

Getting a chemical peel during the summer might seem risky, but with the right products, your skin can stay refreshed and protected.

Alumier BHA, AHA Duo, and Renew 30 are three summer-friendly chemical peels that cater to different skin needs. These treatments from AlumierMD are designed to exfoliate gently while addressing various skin concerns, ensuring you achieve a glowing complexion without harshness.

The Alumier BHA Peel deeply cleanses pores and exfoliates the outermost skin layers, making it perfect for tackling acne and oiliness.

If anti-aging is your goal, the AHA Duo Peel combines alpha-hydroxy acids to promote cell turnover and brighten your skin.

For those with sensitive skin or new to chemical peels, the Renew 30 Peel uses 30% lactic acid to hydrate and exfoliate gently, offering a milder option that still delivers noticeable results.

Understanding Chemical Peels and Their Benefits

Chemical peels are treatments that exfoliate the skin to reveal a fresher, more radiant complexion. This section addresses the basics of chemical peels and their numerous benefits.

Chemical Peel Basics

Chemical peels use acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to remove dead skin cells.

These peels vary in strength and purpose, from mild peels like the Renew 30 Peel to more intense treatments.

AHAs, such as glycolic and lactic acid, target the outer skin layers. They promote smoother texture and even skin tone.

BHAs, like salicylic acid, penetrate deeper. They are excellent for oily or acne-prone skin.

During application, you might feel a tingling sensation. The peel works to break down dead skin cells, encouraging your skin to produce new, healthy cells.

This process can help diminish fine lines and wrinkles, enhance texture, and give your skin a youthful glow.

Benefits of Regular Peel Treatments

Regular chemical peels offer many benefits. They can lead to more radiant skin by consistently removing the outer layers of dead skin cells. This form of exfoliation allows your complexion to look brighter and more even.

Peels like the AHA Duo Peel help promote a smoother texture. They can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. This makes them useful in anti-aging treatments.

Chemical peels also improve skin tone and reduce pigmentation issues. For those with acne-prone skin, peels that use BHAs help clean pores and reduce breakouts. All these benefits contribute to healthier, younger-looking skin when done regularly.

AlumierMD Peel Selections

AlumierMD offers a variety of chemical peels tailored to different skin concerns like acne, pigmentation, and signs of aging. These peels use powerful ingredients such as salicylic and lactic acids to deliver medical-grade skincare benefits.

Alumier BHA 20 and AHA Duo Peel Details

The BHA 20 Peel contains salicylic acid, ideal for addressing acne and congested pores. This peel penetrates deeply to exfoliate and reduce breakouts. It’s particularly effective for oily skin.

The AHA Duo Peel combines alpha hydroxy acids for a balanced approach to exfoliation. Using lactic and glycolic acids, this peel addresses sun damage, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. It’s suitable for normal to dry skin types.

Appropriate Peels for Skin Concerns

For sensitive skin or those new to chemical peels, the Renew 30 Peel is recommended. It targets fine lines, sun damage, and mild pigmentation, using a gentle formulation that’s safe for first-time users.

If you aim to reduce signs of aging, the Power Glow Peel is an excellent choice.

Containing 14% salicylic acid, 14% lactic acid, and 14% resorcinol, this peel is potent against fine lines, large pores, and uneven skin tone.

For acne, the BHA 20 Peel is highly effective. It uses salicylic acid to deeply exfoliate and reduce pore congestion.

To address hyperpigmentation and discolouration, the AHA Duo Peel works well. It combines acids that even out the skin tone and reduce dark spots.

Treatment Process and Aftercare

Chemical peels like Alumier BHA, AHA Duo, and Renew 30 can help with various skin concerns such as acne, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. It’s crucial to understand how these treatments work and how to care for your skin post-procedure.

Profiling Individual Skin Types

Before undergoing a chemical peel, it’s important to identify your skin type. This helps in determining which peel and process will be most effective.

  • Oily skin benefits from deep-cleaning peels like the Alumier BHA Peel. This peel removes excess oil and deep-cleans pores.
  • Dry skin may respond better to the Renew 30 Peel, which uses lactic acid to hydrate and exfoliate gently, minimizing flaking and tightness.
  • For sensitive skin, the AHA Duo Peel is a milder option that helps in exfoliating without causing irritation.

Maximizing Results with Minimal Downtime

The post-care regimen is crucial for maximizing the results of your peel and ensuring minimal downtime.

After the chemical peel treatment, your skin may feel tight and appear slightly red. To mitigate these effects, apply a mild, gentle cleanser and a moisturizing skin recovery cream.

Make sure to use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. 

Additionally, follow your aesthetician’s specific aftercare recommendations. These may include avoiding direct sunlight and heavy makeup for a few days.

This helps to keep your skin hydrated and minimizes any flaking or irritation.
