Anti-Aging Exfoliation Treatments for Dry or Dull Skin

Exfoliation is an essential part of your skincare routine. If you’re suffering from dry flaky skin due to the weather or just feel like your complexion is looking a little dull, you should consider adding an exfoliation regime to your routine. Exfoliation works by removing the oldest dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost surface to reveal new, healthy skin cells.

What types of exfoliants are out there and what will work for your skin? The answer depends on your individuls needs and skincare goals. This post will lay out the treatment options at True Med Spa for dry skin or a dull complexion.

Microdermabrasion 

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and is constantly regenerating itself as old, dead cells slough off. As your skin continuously sheds itself, a manual means of exfoliation, also known as microdermabrasion, can help that process along. Manual exfoliation includes, natural scrubs like sea salt, sugar, or walnut scrubs, the now-banned microbeads, and microdermabrasion brush systems. 

Chemical Peels

There are a few different types of chemical exfoliants, also known as peels, that you can use on your skin. Chemical peels are a fantastic way to treat multiple skin conditions like acne scars, sun spots, melasma, dry/dull skin, and overall signs of aging. A chemical peel is a more effective alternative to manual exfoliation and chemical peels should be part of an anti-aging regimen. 

Some common chemical exfoliants used in chemical peels include:

• Glycolic acid
• Malic acid
• Salicylic acid
• Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) 

Chemical peels are available at True Med Spa where our trained skincare specialists will work with your unique skin to select the proper chemical peel for your skin..
