why do we go as red as a tomato following a chemical peel?
Inflammation: The peel creates a controlled injury to the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response. This increases blood flow to the area, causing redness. π₯΅
Exfoliation of the outer skin layers: As dead skin cells are removed, the newer skin underneath is more exposed and naturally appears pinker or redder.
So yes you may be red and shiny but just imagine those skin cells racing to the surface πββοΈ
