This podcast episode explores the application of chemical peels in skincare, particularly focusing on their relevance for women of color. Dr. Dee defines chemical peels as acids employed to exfoliate the skin, addressing issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. She divides peels into light and medium depth types, categorized by their depth of penetration, underlining the need to handle expectations carefully, especially for those with sensitive skin or specific medical conditions.
Dr. Dee emphasizes the crucial role of post-peel sun protection in averting UV damage and hyperpigmentation. She details the step-by-step process, spanning from pre-peel skin prep to aftercare, stressing the importance of incorporating moisturizers and sunscreen. The podcast concludes by discussing how chemical peels can be an effective way to periodically invigorate the skin and recommends fall and winter as the optimal seasons for the procedure, owing to reduced sun exposure.
