Everyone wants to look hot and young. But not everyone can achieve this. The reason is simple. Many blindly trust some of the anti-aging methods that they come across. Recently, a mother in her mid 30s asked me what was the best way to get rid of the fine lines and wrinkles on her face. I suggested her to use wrinkle creams like Dermaxin. But she countered questioned me - Cant the chemical peels help me look younger?

Well, as I said people blindly trust some of the anti-aging treatments. I feel chemical peels do no good in retaining your youth. There are three main types of peels.

1. Light peels are most commonly performed using alpha hydroxyacids. These are naturally occurring acids found in fruits and other foods. This type of peel leaves the skin with a red glow that only lasts for a day or so.

2. Medium peels are usually performed with trichloroacetic acid. These peels are only performed once every couple of years. Medium peels have the same benefits as light peels. But the draw back is that a medium peel makes the skin on the face look like severe sunburn for one week.

3. Deep peels with stronger chemicals get rid of large wrinkles and can have results as dramatic as a face-lift. This type of peel has a recovery time of 1-2 months. This peel can risk your face of losing its original beauty.

Hence my suggestion is do not go for chemical peels and prefer some organic wrinkle creams like Dermaxin which help in preventing the aging signs and also do not result in harmful side effects.
