When you want to erase the signs of aging, your cosmetic surgeon may recommend a series of chemical peels and microdermabrasion for your beauty fix. Still, many chemical peels can be fairly intensive, and while they do provide exceptional results, they contain several synthetic acids and abrasive ingredients.

The Green Peel is one alternative to conventional peels, a deep peel made with plant-based ingredients and minerals for a milder exfoliation. The method was developed by Dr. Christine Schrammek-Drusio, a dermatologist and allergist who was looking for a natural approach to antiaging skincare treatments. If you’ve been searching for a powerful, but natural treatment to tighten and tone your skin, the Green Peel offers several benefits.

Here’s what you need to know about the Green Peel skin rejuvenation treatment:

How the Green Peel Works

The Green Peel is applied to the face and neck in a similar fashion as a conventional chemical peel, and may follow a mild cleansing facial treatment. The peel itself is a mixture of dried, crushed herbs and an herbal lotion that does not contain any chemicals, additives or abrasive ingredients. Spirulina is one of the key ingredients in the Green Peel, an ingredient that is full of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. Spirulina, combined with other herbs and extracts slowly penetrate the skin to begin the healing and cell regeneration process.

The skin is massaged thoroughly with the Green Peel solution, and the treatment is left on the skin for 10 – 15 minutes to set in. When the peel is removed, the skin will appear red and be more sensitive than usual. After 24 – 72 hours, the active minerals, enzymes and ingredients will start to penetrate deeper into the skin which means the deep exfoliation has begun. By the fourth day, skin will begin peeling; this is the regeneration process in action, and the treatment ends with a vitamin mask for the final step of exfoliation. After the cycle is complete, skin will appear clearer, fresher and more resilient. Small scars, fine lines and wrinkles will be diminished, and the skin will take on a healthier glow.

The Green Peel offers several benefits for all skin types, including:

• Tighter and firmer skin
