What body peels can help
Body skin can develop back acne, tanning, dark patches over joints and underarms, rough bumpy skin and uneven tone. Body skin is thicker than facial skin, so peels are chosen accordingly.
A course of peels, with good home care, can gradually smooth and even out the skin.
How body peels work
A peel solution is applied for a set time, then neutralised or removed.
- Back and chest peels: for body acne and marks
- Underarm, elbow and knee peels: for darker areas
- Arm and leg peels: for tan and rough, bumpy skin
- Course: usually a series of sessions a few weeks apart
