Which Peel Should You Get Before Christmas?
The holiday season presents unique skin challenges. Cold air, central heating, late nights, and party makeup team up to create dryness, dullness, and texture issues. Clinical peels offer a rapid, effective skin reset before festivities arrive.
Both lactic and glycolic acid are AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), but they function differently despite belonging to the same chemical family.
Lactic Acid Peel: The Hydrating Glow-Giver
Lactic acid is the gentler option, delivering radiance without prominent peeling or extended recovery periods. It naturally hydrates and protects the skin barrier.
Ideal for dry, dehydrated or sensitive complexions, dullness or reduced luminosity, quick polish before social events, and first-time peel users.
Lactic acid pulls moisture into the skin and smooths the surface. It's the ultimate party-season prep: subtle, effective and kind to winter skin.
So… Which One Should You Choose?
For hydration-focused goals, select a lactic peel. For clarity and texture refinement, choose a glycolic peel. Many clients benefit from a personalised combination of the two — or a peel paired with Profhilo or LED to maximise radiance.
The Bottom Line
Both peels can transform tired winter skin into a fresh, radiant, festive-ready complexion. The right choice depends on your specific skin needs — and that's exactly what a consultation is for.
