What are skin peels?

Skin peels are basically beauty treatments that are applied to the skin or the face to fight wrinkles and fine lines as well as other skin and facial complications. They are chemical peel solutions which vary in strength and are known to peel off the stratum corneum of the skin to allow new skin to grow and develop. The idea is that the old skin (top layer of dead skin cells) is taken off the body and along with it various other skin conditions that it had. What also happens when you remove the stratum corneum is that you accelerate the skins natural exfoliation period of 28 days. Your skin notices that the upper dead layer of skin is now gone so it has to work quickly to replace it. So all new cells, collagens and elastins are created quickly to try to replace what was taken. Its truly an amazing process.

It should be worth noting that not all skin peel at home actually peel off the stratum corneum. Some are much more intense and can actually take off the entire epidermis (top layer of skin).
