Sun Protection, Sunburn Relief, and Sun Damage Reversal – VI Products Can Do It All!
Nothing feels better than soaking up the sun while sitting poolside and sipping a cold drink. On top of feeling great on your skin, the sun can do wonders for your mental health and is an excellent source of vitamin D. However, too much sun exposure is no joke and can lead to other issues such as sunburns, and premature signs of aging, even cancer. While repeated burns can definitely impact your body’s well-being, it may not take as much sun exposure as you think to cause problems. In fact, the sun is responsible for over 70% of aging signs on our faces such as dark spots and wrinkles. This means that even if you don’t notice a tan or burn, UV rays can still take their toll.
But, what are you to do? Give up going outside? Always wear a hat? Luckily there are many skin care products and treatments on the market that can help protect your skin and allow you to still enjoy the sunshine. Keep in mind that not all skin care products are created equal!
VI Derm products and VI Peel Treatments are Timeless Element’s #1 choice when it comes to combating sun damage. The products and in-clinic treatments work together to protect from UV rays, soothe irritated or burned skin, and overall reverse the damage caused by overexposure to the sun ☀️. Read on to learn more!
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that corrects common skin issues, brightens skin, and restores a youthful appearance. The process involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin that peels away the top layer of skin in order to promote the growth of new skin cells.
Chemical peels address skin issues like:
Uneven skin tone and texture
Hyperpigmentation
Acne and acne scarring
Fine lines and wrinkles
What does a Chemical Peel have to do with sun exposure? Well, chemical peels work by essentially removing the outer layer of skin, which is where the most obvious signs of sun damage will live. Dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles will be noticeably lighter or smoother after 1-2 treatments. For more severe sun damage, clients will come in for routine appointments which will help address past damage and minimize current/future
VI Peels Can Reverse Damage Caused by the Sun
The Vitality Institute offers six different medium-depth VI Peels that work to reverse damage caused by the sun. VI Peel Precision Plus, which received the Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Award in 2022 for the Best Chemical Peel, is one of Timeless Element’s most popular treatments. This service works to reverse sun damage, including UV-induced pigmentation, and also addresses melasma and hyperpigmentation.
Chemical Peels are very effective at removing unwanted blemishes and texture while also helping achieve your beauty goals. However, the reason for their effectiveness is because they are working with, well, chemicals. When used correctly, you can achieve amazing results. In the wrong hands, however, you may experience burns and other undesirable consequences. That’s why it’s important to visit an experienced aesthetician to administer your chemical peel. Not only can this help minimize unwanted effects, but it can also enhance your results!
Sun Protection is Crucial Before and After a Chemical Peel – Here’s Why
You can definitely still get a VI Peel in the summer, but take some precautions. Prior to getting a chemical peel, it’s important to keep your skin protected from the sun. High levels of sun exposure right before treatment can result in irregular pigmentation in the areas that are treated. Post-treatment, it’s also important to block those harmful rays. The new skin that’s exposed after a chemical peel is extremely sensitive to the sun, which means it will easily burn and the risk of sun damage is higher.
Protect your skin with Vitality Institute’s SPF 50 Daily UV Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen. It’s incredibly lightweight and has a sheer finish, making it a comfortable, refreshing addition to your skincare regimen. Other benefits of this sunscreen come from the botanical blend of Antioxidant Green Tea, Chamomile, Pueraria Lobata Root, and Aloe:
Incredible hydration
Inflammation prevention
Reversal of existing sun damage
Best of all, the lightweight finish of this sunscreen won’t cause breakouts and is actually designed to prevent them.
