So much hype has always been around peeling in the 20 years I’ve been in the industry. I’ve seen it all from very intense full bloody faces (I never performed these. This would be done by an MD back in the day.) but my clients would share they tried or a friend tried or they were considering trying. And that’s the thing with skincare, the clients will always listen to their girlfriends. Nothing is more reliable than a trusted girlfriend who’s in the skin-know. And these ladies have been around for decades. So back to the peeling. I’ve seen peels where the skin sheds dramatically and sheets come off and clients are inclined to rip and then we see more damage than good. I see these videos on social media of people snipping the skin with scissors. Literally gives me chills down my spine. Honestly it never sat well with me and I was never into doing them. Until the day I trained with Environ and I saw something very different and that’s what I want to share with you now.
You see, Environ was started by Dr. Des Fernandez and this man is a genius. He is from South Africa and as we know the sun is completely different there than here on the east coast. He is brilliant, sat in on the first ever heart transplant, and has written a book. His credentials go on and on. Read about him if you're into skin, it’s worth it. So Dr. Des lost two young patients to skin cancer back in the 80s and he vowed to create a skincare line that would protect the skin from skin cancers, and that’s exactly what he did. Environ microdoses vitamins to the skin such as A, C, and E. He believes in starting low and going very slow. Kinda hard here in the US because we want everything now and we want it as fast as possible. So, teaching our clients at Anej to step up slowly is something we take a lot of pride in. We do this so the skin builds receptors to the vitamins and peptides. Specifically vitamin A. He’s wonderful in the fact he uses a fatty form of vitamin A and the skin likes this form unlike a straight retinol. He has that too, but only for the skin types that truly need this. Not everyone’s skin can tolerate the Retin-A of the 90s. The vitamin A Dr. Des uses transforms into a retinol under the skin within a few days and it has no side effects of the redness and peeling etc. and with time the skin builds the receptors and wants to take it in. Hence when you're done with your tube you move to the next. The entire line is genius in this way and has many key products we could not live without at Anej. We cannot get enough of the Mela Fade System for pigment issues or the Colostrum Gel which feeds the skin growth favors. But that’s a whole other blog. So his step up system with his products resembles his peeling system in-cabin and both combined together forget it.
Everyone always wants to know why we call them the cool peels. Well it’s because they can be fanned the entire time. This makes the process very comfortable. Most peeling systems cannot be fanned because it will neutralize the acids, but not Dr. Des’. The peels are right up Anej’s alley because they are super customized. There are probably 20 different acids that can be adjusted to your skin’s goals. We can even add some of them on a facial. But, if you really want that max max result you have to do the series.
Our series is insane and like nothing else on the market. We have you come every 7-14 days for six treatments. Each time we bump up the acid or the timing. There is no crazy shedding. We can personalize the sessions to you from a micro flake to more of a shed. Your home care during that time is personalized as well. Why we love this so much is that these peels are not just blasting the face and killing everything off. It just removes the dead dying cells. The zombie cells as some people call them. It multiplies the fibroblasts and the collagen is stimulated. The result is increased tightness. Yes it will brighten and refine the pores and the glow is insane BUT the tightness is what we really see. Trust me, it’s like no other.
It’s best to book the series out when you purchase so you stay on track and get them all completed at once, but we have our ways and protocols where we may do a few and take a break and a few more of you have an event in between etc. If you have been scared of peels this is for you because there’s nothing scary about it. It’s actually a lovely quick service and you get to see your esti on the regular. Doing the series is not recommended if you're going to be in the sun soon after or during the hot summer months. It’s a great experience with no downtime and the package is well worth it. It’s a fresh start for the skin. Every client who has done it with us at Anej looks forward to scheduling their next series after a few seasons go by. After all they are the cool girls always pushing their skin past boundaries not accepting their age, acne, or pigment and wanting to put their best face forward.
