Chemical peels can be a game-changer for anyone who’s looking to address pigmentation, acne scars, and other skin irregularities. It’s essentially like hitting the reset button for your skin! But navigating the vast landscape of peels can be daunting. Here’s a primer on selecting the best chemical peels for Indian skin.
What Are the Best Chemical Peels for Indian Skin?
If you’re looking for the best chemical peels for Indian skin, here are 3 of the safest and most effective options to consider.
1. Glycolic Acid Peel
Glycolic acid is among the gentlest and best chemical peels for Indian skin. It’s derived from sugar cane and has the smallest molecular structure, which allows it to penetrate the skin more easily.
As such, it’s a safe way to brighten and exfoliate Indian skin without the worry of side effects, including hyperpigmentation.
2. Salicylic Acid Peel
Salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid, is the peel of choice for those with acne-prone Indian skin. It’s oil-soluble and can penetrate the pores deeply, decongesting them and preventing future breakouts.
With anti-inflammatory properties, this peel is also great for reducing redness.
That said, individuals with aspirin allergies should steer clear due to potential sensitivities.
3. TCA Peel
Trichloroacetic acid is a medium-strength peel that can address deeper pigmentation and acne scars. It’s a popular option for Indian skin as it can abate hyperpigmentation issues effectively.
It’s worth noting that TCA peels usually require downtime and may cause peeling and redness. As such, you should consult with a dermatologist to assess the peel’s suitability for your skin.
Preparing for Your Chemical Peel
Prior to undergoing a chemical peel, it’s vital to prep your skin. Cleanse your face with a gentle exfoliating wash to remove any surface oils or impurities. Avoid any retinoid or AHA/BHA products for a few days beforehand, which can sensitize the skin.
Additionally, use sunscreen diligently, as peels make your skin more susceptible to sun damage.
