✨ Facial Peels Demystified: Which One Is Right for Your Skin Type?
Your Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Peel in Park Slope
Facial peels have come a long way from the scary, red-faced images you might remember from TV. At Venelle Salon & Spa in Park Slope, our peels are safe, effective, and customized for every skin type — from sensitive and dry to acne-prone or aging.
But with so many types of peels available (chemical, enzyme, lactic, glycolic, and more), how do you know which one is right for you?
Let’s demystify facial peels and help you uncover your smoothest, glowiest skin ever.
🧪 First: What Is a Facial Peel?
A facial peel is a skincare treatment that uses acids or enzymes to exfoliate the top layers of your skin. This stimulates new cell growth, clears out pores, fades pigmentation, softens fine lines, and gives you a smoother, brighter complexion.
At Venelle, our expert estheticians use professional-grade peels from brands like Image Skincare and Eminence Organics — so you're in the best hands.
🔍 The Types of Peels We Offer at Venelle Salon & Spa
1. Enzyme Peels (Gentle, Natural, Effective)
🌿 Best for: Sensitive, dry, or first-time peel clients
Made with fruit enzymes (like pumpkin, pineapple, or papaya), these peels gently dissolve dead skin cells without harsh chemicals.
Perfect if you:
-
Want a natural, organic option (like Eminence’s Yam & Pumpkin Peel)
-
Have rosacea, dry or irritated skin
-
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
🧡 Clients say: “It smells like Thanksgiving and leaves my skin baby soft!”
2. Lactic Acid Peel (Brightens & Hydrates)
💧 Best for: Dull, dry, or aging skin
Derived from milk, lactic acid is a mild alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that brightens and hydrates without over-stripping your skin.
Perfect if you:
-
Have uneven skin tone or fine lines
-
Need hydration + exfoliation
-
Are nervous about stronger acids
3. Glycolic Acid Peel (Deep Exfoliation, Fast Results)
⚡ Best for: Oily, acne-prone, or aging skin
This AHA penetrates deeper to unclog pores, boost collagen, and reduce breakouts or fine lines.
Perfect if you:
-
Struggle with acne, blackheads, or enlarged pores
-
Want quick results for smoother, clearer skin
-
Are dealing with early signs of aging
4. Salicylic Acid Peel (Bye Breakouts)
🧼 Best for: Acne-prone or oily skin
A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that goes deep into pores to clear out bacteria and oil, reducing breakouts and inflammation.
Perfect if you:
-
Have active breakouts or cystic acne
-
Struggle with oily T-zone or clogged pores
-
Want a clearer, matte complexion
5. Image Skincare Signature Peel Collection
🧪 Custom Clinical Solutions for Every Concern
From the Vitamin C Lift Peel to the Lightening Lift, Image peels are formulated for everything from pigmentation and wrinkles to sensitive skin.
💎 Our estheticians will select the right peel strength based on:
-
Your skin type and goals
-
Whether you want no downtime or are okay with light peeling
-
The season (some peels are better in fall/winter)
🙋♀️ FAQs: What Park Slope Clients Ask About Peels
Q: Will I peel?
Maybe a little — depending on the type of peel. Most of our peels are no-downtime, meaning you’ll leave glowing, not flaking.
Q: Are peels safe for darker skin tones?
Absolutely — especially when done by professionals. We customize every peel to avoid irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Q: How often should I get a peel?
Every 4–6 weeks is ideal for visible, long-term results. But even one peel can make a big difference!
