What is a chemical peel?
A superficial chemical peel is a minimally invasive procedure in which an acid-based solution is applied to the face and/or decolletage to remove dead skin cells. After several minutes, the solution is removed, revealing smoother, more refined-looking skin.
A chemical peel can improve skin problems ranging from sun spots to acne scars, as well as improve skin texture and tone.

So why not get started on Obagi skincare products to get the kind of skin you’ve always wanted
Everyone wants to look their best. So if you’re looking for that special gift for the “lady of your life” or for the “man of your life”, you should consider the Clarisonic Pro Sonic Cleansing System for face & body or the Clarisonic Pro for that special person.
A system that pairs the Clarisonic Pro with a collection of skincare and body products to reveal your best skin ever.
Traditional methods of cleansing don’t get your skin as clean as you’d think. Fortunately, the lead inventor of Sonicare® discovered a breakthrough in how we cleanse. Using sonic technology, the Clarisonic® Skin Cleansing System works with your skin’s natural elasticity to gently remove the impurities that traditional methods leave behind — giving you softer, smoother and more beautiful skin.
What it is formulated to do:
In this system, the Clarisonic Plus joins the power of sonic cleansing with a remarkable collection of products for a cleaner, healthier complexion. The Clarisonic Plus cleans, softens, and smoothes skin on the face and body. Combine its sonic cleansing technology with products from bestselling brands, like Clarisonic and Obagi, for skin that’s healthier, more radiant and more beautiful.Clarisonic PRO for face & body
The sets vary depending on the type you choose: Clarisonic PRO or - Clarisonic® Pro with three or four speeds
- Universal Charging Cradle for International Use(face & body)
- Sensitive Brush Head
- Body Brush Head
What else you need to know:
In just minutes, the Clarisonic Plus unlocks the full potential of skincare products by removing six-times more makeup and two-times more dirt and oil than cleansing with hands alone.
While cleansing is the first step in any skin care ritual, it is often overlooked. Typical manual cleansing can leave behind dirt and oil trapped in pores. This build-up can damage the appearance and health of your skin and keep your skin care products from working like they should.
Used and recommended by spas and dermatologists, Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing Systems use a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to gently, yet thoroughly remove 6X more makeup and 2X more dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone. Cleaner skin is the first step toward healthier skin. And healthier skin is smoother, more radiant and more beautiful.
Sonic Cleansing Benefits:
Removes 6X more makeup than manual cleansing
Leaves skin feeling and looking smoother
Removes impurities that keep creams and serums from working their best
Gentle enough to use twice a day
Reduces oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes
Minimizes the appearance of visible pores

Think your skin is clear after washing with fingertips, or a washcloth? THink again! In an abstract published in 2007 in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, a 10-person study found the Clarisonic was “significantly more effective” in removing makeup than using soap and fingers. The study used fluorescent makeup on subjects’ faces, which were then cleaned by a technician using a Clarisonic for half of the face and just fingers for the other half; a mild cleanser was used on both sides. The study measured the amount of pixels of fluorescence remaining after cleaning. What does all this mean? It translates to six times more makeup being removed with the Clarisonic.
So I tried my own experiment, for 2 weeks, washing half of my face with the Clarisonic brush and the other half with a washcloth for 30 seconds each on both sides with a mild cleanser. Within the first week, my skin was much smoother and my pores were noticeably smaller on the Clarisonic side than on the washcloth side. OK, I’m a believer!!
Traditional methods of cleansing don’t get your skin as clean as you’d think. Fortunately, the lead inventor of Sonicare® discovered a breakthrough in how we cleanse. Using sonic technology, the Clarisonic® Skin Cleansing System works with your skin’s natural elasticity to gently remove the impurities that traditional methods leave behind — giving you softer, smoother and more beautiful skin.

So many antioxidants to choose from..Green tea, Algae, Mango, Blueberry, Furulin acid, coffee berry, Niacin, Chamomil, Pomegranate, Emblica,Bilberry, Olives, Strawberry, Beta-carotene and more. Who can keep up?
Vitamin C is now available in a range of new facial skin care products! But what is Vitamin C? Does it serve any essential functions in skin care? Does this vitamin truly have the power to nourish and rebuild your skin?
I believe that VITAMIN C is “the most important skin antioxidant”. It ‘s features are:
*Stimulates collagen synthesis
*Reduces inflammmation
*Suppresses pigmentation
*Retains moisture
*Enhances UV protection
*Replenishes Vitamin E
Antioxidants—vitamin C is one—neutralize free radicals by offering their own electrons and so protect healthy molecules from harm.
Since vitamin C prevents skin damage from sun exposure, it’s reasonable to suspect that it can also prevent the consequences of that damage, including wrinkling and age spots. It is very important to choose a topical Vitamin C that can and will penetrate into the epidermis and dermis of the skin. Better absorption and penetration of Vitamin C gets better protection into the skin.
Antioxidant Protection. Maximum Vitamin C Penetration
Obagi Professional-C Serums use advanced scientific formulas developed and tested by leading Vitamin C experts to provide maximum daily antioxidant protection against free radicals, which cause premature signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles.
Their unique formula provides greater penetration of ingredients than other Vitamin C products — delivering greater antioxidant benefit to your skin!
Obagi Professional-C Serums use stabilized L-ascorbic acid – the only form of Vitamin C that can be effectively absorbed by the skin. You can choose from 4 different concentrations to determine which one is right for your skin.
Aging affects our physical bodies and our psychological state if mind, therefore affecting our quality of life. Aging due to environmental factors such as sun exposure and smoking is an individual choice responsible for premature aging of the skin.
Ultraviolet or UV Radiation is the primary cause of face aging. Actually, 90% of symptoms of aging is probably due to effects of UV radiation, which is SUN EXPOSURE.
Photoaging is a term used to describe aging due to sun exposure.. How does the sun damage our skin? THe sun’s radiation causes the damage. THe ones we are concerned with are Ultraviolet (UV) radiation which come in 3 types.
UVA radiation: THIs is the main contributing factor towards skin damage and photoaging.. It penetrates deeper into the skin than UVB radiation. It damages skin cells mainly through the formation of free radicals. It can penetrate glass and is not too much dependent on the time of day or season.
UVB radiation: Burning affects the epidermis which are the outer layers of skin. It is resposible for sunburns, but also contributes toward skin damage. It is most intense when the sun is brightest and in the summer months.
UVC radiation: is the most dangerous and can increase the incidence of cancer.
THe effects on the different layers of the skin are:
Epidermis: UV radiation causes thinning of the epidermal cells. It can also lead to skin lesions such as actinic keeratoses, and skin cancers.
Dermis: UV radiation increases the rate of destruction of the structural protein called collagen and it is responsible for the formation and accumulation of abnormal skin elastin.
In summary:
* UV rays have several harmful effects on the skin.
*Cumulative-damage accumulates over years of UV exposure.
*All skin types are vulnerable-everyone’s skin can be affected form the very lightest to the darkest in color.
*Current SPF system incomplete-All sunscreens are not created equal, so either not using a sunscreen or using some that are probably just moisturizers. A sunscreen that combines high UVB absorption AND Excessive UVA blockage with 10.5% zinc oxide and 7.5% octinoxate is the best choice. Obagi Nu-Derm makes one of the best. It is a sunscreen with 9% micronized zinc oxide and 7.5% octinoxate that helps to protect newly transformed, younger-looking skin.
**UVB rays are longer:
*They penetrate 30-40 times deeper.
*They heavily contribute to premature aging.
BOTH UVA and UVB RAYS CONTRIBUTE TO SKIN CANCER.
**UVB rays impact the skin’s surface
*The primary cause of sunburn.
What’s the Answer?
It’s never too late to start protecting your skin by using a suncreen EVERY DAY 365 days of the year, rain or shine, and re-applying sunscreen after swimming or after several hours of sun exposure. Wearing a hat and sun-protective clothing also helps. If you’re already a victim of sun damage and showing those wrinkles because of it, there are some great MEDICAL treatments and facial products to use at home that can help. The Obagi Nu-Derm or Obagi Condition & Enhance products are designed in a system with a specific dosage and frequency to maximize your results.
An Enhanced Complexion can make you Look and Feel Your Best!
The Obagi Condition & Enhance System utilizes Penetrating Therapeutics™, a patented technology that helps ingredients penetrate deep into the skin, to address the signs of aging and transform the quality of your skin on a daily basis.

Many people get scared when they hear “facial peel” probably because they’ve known someone who had one or saw photos that showed very red and swollen skin. So they assume that ALL facial peels produce that result. The fact is that facial peels have many variations with different acids used, different acid strengths, the amount and kind of exfoliation used before the peel, and very important – the person performing the peel.
A chemical skin peel involves the application of a solution to peel away the skin’ s top layers. Peel solutions may contain lactic acid, salicytic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, trichoroacetic acid(TCA), or a combination. Phenol is a acid ussed for deep chemical peels.
Chemical peels that are deep are the strongest peel which is usually administed by a physician and usually has a healing time of 2-6 weeks.
See photo at right.
Medium chemical peels can be administered by a skincare specialist(nurse or aestitician) and usually has a healing time of 4-7 days. This type of peel is somewhat deeper that a light peel. Common ones used are Jessner’s solution, TCA(Trichloroacetic acid and Salicytic acid. See photo below.
Light chemical peels have little or no healing time. The skin is immediately brighter with little or no redness, and occasionally sloughs off lightly. It can also be called chemexfoliation or derma peeling. It is one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin. Although the peels are mostly used on the face, they can be used to improve the skin on your hands, arms, chest and back. You can improve:
*Acne and acne scars
*Age spots, liver spots, brown spots
*Sun-damaged skin
*Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne chemical peels vary from light to medium treating acne can be very beneficial for treating acne blemishes. Superficial peels can also work on superficial acne scarring which is usually hyperpigmentation(darker coloring from a blemish). For acne scars that are indentions in the skin, amuch deeper peel is necessary. Sometimes laser is the best choice.
Sun exposure can leave your skin tone wrinkled, uneven and spotted. So if you want your skin to look smoother and younger, you should consider a chemical peel. Over 1 million chemical peels were administered last year and the number contiues to increase. Most report positive changes and improvement in their skin’s appearance after having even one peel done. A chemical solution is used to smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers. Costs vary from city to city and depending on which peel is chosen, usally $65 on up to over $1000.
In conclusion, Chemical Peels are an effective treatment for facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin pigmentation. A chemical peel enhances and smoothes the texture of the skin. Seek a qualified medical professional in your area to check it out. You’ll be glad you did.
Many people face the problem of dry dull skin as also skin that is lifeless. There are several reasons for the formation of such dry dull skin. The increasing pollution in the environment can have a harmful effect on the skin. The use of commercial skin care products has also increased today. Some products have a high amount of chemicals in them which can lead to dry dull skin. Other factors responsible for dry dull skin include poor nutrition, unhealthy lifestyle, intake of certain medications and stress and not using the appropriate skin regimen. Proper skin care helps to prevent the skin from becoming dull, dry and lifeless.
Here are some helpful tips for dull skin.
• The accumulation of dead skin cells on the skin surface leads to a dull and rough appearance. These cells must be removed through exfoliation. Using a combination of medical skincare products to exfoliate the skin regularly will help to get rid of the layer of dead cells. And the new Obagi Blue Peel Radiance gets instant, glowing results for most skin types. Thus the supple, fresh skin beneath is revealed.
• Cleansing the face daily is very important in ensuring healthy skin. However one must not use harsh soaps and cleansers as these can irritate the skin.
• Also avoid using hot water to wash the skin.
• While cleansing the skin, use gentle movements and refrain from rubbing too hard. Gently dab the skin with a soft towel to dry it.

Common Questions and Answers
If I use Nu-Derm® or Obagi-C® Rx, can I still have the peel?
Blue Peel RADIANCE is an easy-to-use and gentle booster to any Obagi skin care system. Just make sure you cease use of exfoliating or potentially irritating products 3 days prior to the peel. These products include any hydroquinone-containing products, exfoliating agents (such as Exfoderm® and Exfoderm® Forte), and tretinoin. In addition, you should avoid excessive sun exposure, electrolysis, depilatory creams, waxing, and laser hair removal 5 to 7 days prior to the peel.
Please refer to your skin care physician for more information about Blue Peel RADIANCE.
Can I use Blue Peel RADIANCE to help correct sun damage on my neck and décolletage?
If you respond well to use of the peel on your face, the peel can be used on your neck and décolletage. Use of an additional vial of peeling product will be required to treat both areas. Skin on the neck and décolletage may be more sensitive, and redness may last longer on these areas than on the face.
Please refer to your skin care physician for more information about Blue Peel RADIANCE.
What if I am using the ELASTIderm® Décolletage System?
Blue Peel RADIANCE is an easy-to-use and gentle booster to any Obagi skin care system, including the ELASTIderm®Décolletage System.
