About chemical peel
A chemical peel applies an exfoliating acid solution to the skin to loosen and remove the outermost layer of dead cells. In beauty studios, salons and clinics, peels are superficial: glycolic, lactic, mandelic and salicylic acids, or blends of them, chosen according to skin type and what you want to improve — dullness, uneven tone, congestion or rough texture. Deeper medical peels are outside the scope of this directory.
The practitioner cleanses and preps the skin, applies the peel for a few minutes while monitoring it, then neutralises and soothes. A tingling or warm feeling is normal. Depending on strength, the skin may look pink for a few hours and flake lightly over the following days. Results improve over a course of four to six peels a few weeks apart.
Appointments take 30 to 45 minutes. A consultation and patch test come first, and you may be asked to prepare the skin at home for a couple of weeks. Daily SPF afterwards is essential, as freshly peeled skin is more sensitive to the sun.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chemical peel cost?
Usually £50 to £120 per session for a superficial peel, with courses of four to six discounted. Branded professional peel systems at clinics sit at the top of that range.
Will my skin peel visibly?
With light salon peels, often not at all, or just a little flaking around the nose and chin for a few days. Stronger peels cause more visible flaking; do not pick it, and let it come away naturally.
Who should avoid chemical peels?
Anyone with active cold sores, broken or sunburnt skin, or who is using prescription retinoids should wait or seek advice. Pregnancy also rules out some acids. A proper consultation will cover all of this.
