What Is Glycolic Peel?

www.findtheSpa.com

A glycolic facial, which can also be called a glycolic acid facial, is a type of skin care treatment where a form of alpha hydroxy acid is applied to the skin to remove dirt and oil, smooth lines and wrinkles, and even out skin tone. This is done using glycolic acid, an acid that can be found in the common sugar cane. This facial should only be done by people who are trained professionals.

A glycolic facial cleanser is the mildest form of chemical facial peel on the market today, and it will peel just the topmost layer of skin. People who can benefit from this type of facial peel are those with mild sun damage, light wrinkles and lines, and mild skin tone issues. If the glycolic treatment is added in with a bleaching agent, the facial can also remove some age spots and blotchiness.

The peel itself helps the body remove dead tissue, allowing it to be replaced with new fresh skin, making the face appear younger and tighter. This is where the "peel" part of the facial name comes from. After being smeared with treatment chemicals, the surface skin is allowed to peel off, exposing healthier skin underneath.
