Fall is upon us and this means it is the start of peel season. We do peels in the fall and winter because the cold, dry weather doesn’t irritate the skin. This fall we invite you to try our pumpkin peel facial. Why pumpkin? Pumpkin is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Beta-carotene and natural Alpha-Hydroxy Acids. Vitamin A is the natural form of retinols, it is a skin resurfacing ingredient using for anti-aging and acne. Vitamin C is one of the most widely used anti-oxidants in skin care, it is an ingredient that should be a part of all skin care routines. Beta-Carotene is a pre-curser to Vitamin A and is used to help lighten pigment. The natural occurring AHA make pumpkin an excellent exfoliating agent and give it peeling qualities.

Pumpkin is not an aggressive peel, it is considered a superficial peel, but it can be too active for hyper sensitive skin. This type of exfoliation is perfect for first time peel clients to gage their sensitivity level to a more aggressive peel. It is also active enough for our veteran peel clients as it can be layered with other modalities to maximize results, such as microdermabrasion and dermaplaning. Pumpkin is used in many products as an exfoliating agent, anti-inflammatory treatment and to calm irritation. Our pumpkin facial will wrap you in to the fall season with the smell of pumpkin and the glow of a rejuvenating treatment.
