DMV Chemical Peels

Exposure to the toxins in the air we breathe and the damage ultraviolet radiation inflicts on our skin coupled with the aging process and hormonal changes all conspire to make us look old, tired and worn out. Besides healthy living which includes, eating healthy nutritionally sound foods with lots of anti-oxidants and phytonutrients, staying well hydrated at all times, exercise, sound sleeping habits, minimizing stress can help us stay and look young especially when coupled with taking meticulous care of our skin. One such way of staying and looking youthful and rested is by getting periodic chemical peels.
