✨ Chemical Peels: Who Can & Can’t Benefit, Pros & Cons, Do’s & Don’ts, and Why Winter Is the Best Time ✨

At Tu Es Belle Spa, chemical peels are professional skin-resurfacing treatments designed to improve skin clarity, texture, and tone for both the face and body.


When customized correctly and paired with Epionce® medical-grade skincare, chemical peels support healthier-looking skin while maintaining the skin barrier.

🌿 What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that helps remove damaged surface layers of skin to encourage natural skin renewal.

Chemical peels may help improve:

• Acne & congestion

• Uneven skin tone

• Hyperpigmentation & sun damage

• Fine lines & dull skin

• Rough or uneven texture

Chemical Peels Are NOT Only for the Face


At Tu Es Belle Spa in Houston, TX, chemical peels can be professionally customized for multiple areas of the body.

🌿 Areas That Can Benefit From Chemical Peels

• Face

• Neck

• Décolletage (chest)

• Hands

• Back (bacne & acne scars)

• Legs (ingrown hairs, discoloration, texture)

✔ Body peels are adjusted based on skin thickness and sensitivity and always require a professional consultation.

Who CAN Benefit From a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels may be beneficial for clients who want to:

• Improve acne-prone skin

• Reduce breakouts on face or body

• Fade dark spots & discoloration

• Smooth skin texture

• Brighten dull skin

• Enhance professional skincare results

🚫 Who Should NOT Get a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels may not be recommended if you:

• Have active skin infections or open wounds

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding (certain peels)

• Have severe rosacea or eczema flare-ups

• Are using oral isotretinoin (Accutane)

• Have recent sunburn or excessive sun exposure

• Have a history of keloid scarring

⚠️ A professional consultation at Tu Es Belle Spa is required.

Pros & Cons of Chemical Peels

✅ PROS

• Improves acne & congestion

• Enhances skin brightness

• Minimal downtime for light to medium peels

• Improves long-term skin clarity

• Boosts skincare absorption

❌ CONS

• Temporary redness or peeling

• Strict sun protection required

• Gradual results

• Best results achieved with a series

❄️ Why Cold Weather Is the BEST Time for Chemical Peels

Fall and winter are ideal for face and body chemical peels because:

• Lower UV exposure reduces pigmentation risk

• Cooler weather calms inflammation

• Less sweating during healing

• Easier sun avoidance for body areas

• Safer recovery overall

🌨️ Less sun exposure = better healing and better results

🔁 Why Ongoing Chemical Peel Sessions Matter

Chemical peels work best as a series, not a one-time treatment.


Ongoing sessions help:

• Gradually improve hyperpigmentation

• Manage acne long-term

• Refine skin texture

• Maintain consistent results

• Support ongoing skin renewal
