With winter in full swing, the cold and dry air can wreak havoc on even the most well taken care of skin. If ever there was a time to try something new and special, it’s now. Luckily, we’re just launched a whole new range of professional skin peels here at Balance.

AlumierMD was created by a global team of experienced PhD biochemists, physicians and skin care specialists. Using innovative ingredients, advanced delivery systems, and by integrating professional treatments with homecare packages, these skin peels can be tailored to suit your specific skincare needs.

So what is a chemical peel? It’s a treatment used to improve skin tone and texture by lowering the pH of the skin. Ths loosens the connections between dead cells, and stimulates new cell growth. This process causes superficial layers of skin to peel away, leaving you with a smoother and more radiant complexion. When the skin gets used to this treatment, it even begins to rejuvenate itself, just like younger skin!

A single checmial peel can provide the immediate effect of bright and radiant skin, and with further treatment, you can target textural issues, fine lines, rosacea, and inflamed acne.

We currently offer the following skin peels at Balance:

– Glow Peel (dry, normal, oily, dehydrated skin, acne, hyperpigmentation, and ageing)

– Vitamin A Boost (acne, hyperpigmentation, ageing)

– Detox Clear (acne, congestion)

– Radiant 20 /1 0 (acne, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, congestions, open pores, oiliness)

You’ve heard about detoxing, but ridding your body of toxins can be done in ways other than drinking buckets of special teas.

The body is capable of losing 1lb of toxins a day and body brushing can assist in this process by improving circulation, and increasing lymphatic flow, while simultaneously ridding the skin of dead cells. Dry-brushing the skin before showing also helps to increase firmness and tone, and encouraging the dispersal of built-up cellulite deposits. All this means that your body will not only look better, but your energy and immunity levels go up.

The ELEMIS cactus bristle body brush uses natural cactus bristles to help to reduce the appearance of cellulite by improving circulation and softening the skin.

Starting from the soles of the feet and using light strokes, brush in an upward motion following the blood flow towards the heart, and without scrubbing. Focus on the abdomen and back to stimulate the digestive system.

Follow your brushing session with a shower using the ELEMIS Sharp Shower Body Wash and then apply the Cellutox Active Body Oil. This powerful synergy of Sea Buckthorn, Sea Fennel, Lemon and Juniper essential oils is the perfect body detox.

Despite being associated with the skin of a hormonal teenager, acne is in fact a long-term condition, which occurs when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. Characterised by pimples, blackheads, and oily skin, acne can also lead to scarring.

Luckily, AlumierMD have come up with several expert treatments to reduce the effects of acne on your skin.

Treating acne is a multi-dimensional task. Exfoliation must be enhanced to remove cell build up, sebum production must be controlled, and inflammation must be reduced, in order to see results.

The following acne-reducing treatments are now available at Balance:

Glow Peel
(Dry, Normal, Oily, Dehydrated, Acne, Hyperpigmentation & Ageing)
Glow Peel combines lactic acid, salicylic acid and resorcinol, creating a multipurpose resurfacing solution effective in minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation issues like age spots, discolouration and uneven skin tone. This formula exfoliates dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal. To suit individual needs, Glow Peel can be customized by strength by numbers of layers.

Vitamin A Boost
(Acne, hyperpigmentation & Ageing)
Vitamin A boost is a potent and pure retinol and lactic acid resurfacing treatment. It reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation by boosting collagen production and speeding cell turnover, creating a more radiant and even-toned complexion. Ideal for mature or sun damaged skin.

Detox Clear
(Acne, Congestion)
Detox Clear contains salicylic acid and lactic acid for excellent pore penetration and exfoliation. Salicylic acid penetrates into the pore and exfoliates dead skin cells and excess sebum. Lactic acid exfoliates dead skin cells and hydrates. Eucalyptus provides strong astringent properties. Together, they work to smooth skin, minimise pore size experience, reduce acne and prevent new pimples from forming.

Radiant 20/10
(Acne, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, congestion, open pores & oiliness)
With lactic and salicylic acid, radiant 20/10 resurfacing peel contains a powerful combination of them both which improves skin tone and texture by exfoliating dead skin cells and speeding cell turnover. The multipurpose resurfacing peel reduces acne pimples and minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
