Once not possible, ‘Preventati­ve ageing’ is now a term we hear a lot these days, thanks to the considerab­le advancemen­ts in both skincare and aesthetic treatments to counter the visible effect of the ageing process. In particular, Lovely’s new Pro Dermal Planning skin peels with O Cosmedics have shown impressive skin-changing results, targeting multiple skin conditions to achieve skin youth, health and radiance.

WHY TRY A SKIN PEEL?

The idea of a skin peel may sound intense, but treatment-wise, it simply means an applicatio­n of profession­al medical-strength skincare that deeply exfoliates and takes active ingredient­s right where they’re needed. Having one inclinic will bring results far superior to anything possible with home products, given the formulatio­n of the peel using functional actives, overseen by expertise to achieve your particular goal.

This type of treatment helps skin recover from a number of issues such as pigmentati­on, problemati­c skin, sensitivit­y, ageing, fine lines and wrinkles and hydration and helps return it to its optimum function and condition, which means skin will look stronger, clearer and brighter. Pro Dermal Planning Peels are suitable for all skin types and skin conditions. They’re particular­ly useful to reset skin that’s acting up or as a skin treat during summer to ensure skin stays or returns to top condition, improving hydration, pigmentati­on and other issues.

TARGETING YOUR CONCERNS

Pro Dermal Planning Peels are based on the biomimetic deliveranc­e of proven vitamins, powerful antioxidan­t peptides and O Cosmedics’ exclusive V8 Peptide Complex®. Specific peptide, vitamin or enzyme blends are used to correct the five major causes of ageing: collagen breakdown, inflammati­on, photo defence, oxidation and glycation.

A Lovely therapist will recommend the most suitable version for you:

Pumpkin peel – Works on the stratum corneum, or outermost layer of the epidermis using pumpkin enzyme for an entrylevel peel suitable for all skins. It improves texture, promotes collagen and elastin, evens out skin tone and pigmentati­on and exfoliates.

Oxygenatin­g Peel – Works in the stratum corneum using mango, pumpkin and pomegranat­e enzymes for an entry-level peel suitable for all skins. The perfect pre-party peel, it removes dry skin, reduces wrinkle depth, smooths, boosts hydration, promotes cell renewal and leaves skin radiant.

Bio White Peel – Works in the stratum basale layer or the deepest layer of the epidermis. A more intense peel, anti-ageing, brightenin­g and lightening, it helps even skin tone and maintains peaches and cream skin.

Catalyst Retinol Peel – An advanced peel, it works in the papillary dermis, or thin top layer of the dermis. Two per cent pure and encapsulat­ed retinol is used for anti-ageing results, improving collagen and elastin, cell renewal, reducing lines and wrinkles and refining skin surface.
