Good question.

After chatting with my dermatologist and doing some research, my answer was yes – for a few reasons.

I’ve talked about this before, but in the past year, I’ve started to notice some changes in my skin – and they aren’t for-the-better changes.  The fine lines were more evident…  my freckles seemed to be giving way to a splotchiness I don’t appreciate and the tone was dull.

So I decided to try a facial Chemical Peel – with the hope that some of the things I didn’t love about my skin would diminish.  I did it heading into a weekend – having been warned that I would appear sunburned afterwards and that my skin would peel….  Here is my journey.

After my skin had ‘recovered’ from the peel, I was delighted.  My skin was brighter, noticeably softer and tighter.  My pores were smaller and there was a slight reduction in my fine lines.  My dermatologist recommends doing them in a series of three or five – and during the cooler months when you are exposed to less sun.

Let me know if you do one (or if you have – what you thought of the results)!
