Different chemical types have their own properties, but generally, chemical peel acids penetrate the skin and break the bonds between the layers of skin, so the top layers will start peeling off. The type of peel, its concentration and the exact chemical composition will determine how deep it penetrates (and thus how deep the peel is).
Read MoreThe chemical peel is one of the most honest skincare treatments around. It doesn’t hide behind a fancy name. It is what it says: a chemical solution that harnesses your body’s natural processes of renewal, which can largely be summed up as “discard old skin cells to make space for new ones.” In other words, it causes the skin to peel so that new skin can grow in its place.

Read MoreA nice glass of red by the fire. Snuggling in bed with a book. There is a lot to love about winter. Alas, as the temperatures drop, so does the humidity level. Then, the dry, winter air tries to even the status quo by drawing moisture from whatever it can, including you! This way your skin feels so much drier in winter. It’s definitely not all in your head. It’s just science.
Read MoreStruggling with very dry skin? There’s a good chance you’re also the sensitive type. And no, it’s not because The Notebook makes you cry. Both conditions – sensitive skin and dry skin – share an underlying cause and that’s a disrupted barrier function. But first, what is that exactly? And if yours isn’t working properly, how do you go about fixing it? Happily, Lamelle’s researchers have been studying dry and sensitive skin for decades so we can answer both questions with expert advice.
Read MoreThey say summer bodies are made in winter and the same can be said about great-looking skin. After all, the chilly months are the ideal ones to invest in a course of peels with Lamelle.

Read MoreRaising a little person is one of the most rewarding things anyone could do. But it’s also stressful, short on sleep and unrelenting. Also, any mom will be quick to tell you that kids always come first. When you’ve got a “to-do” list as long as your arm, a hot bubble bath or a day trip to a spa isn’t going to be a priority.

Read MoreInfra-red A goes deep into the skin where it creates free radicals that damage it, the same way that UVA or visible light from the sun would. Infra-red B and C do not penetrate as deeply as infra-red A but these frequencies cause direct aging of the skin.
Read MoreYou might be surprised to learn that initial studies to find effective sun protection ingredients didn’t consider UVA protection. Unlike UVB, UVA doesn’t burn your skin, so you can’t feel the damage happening.
Read MoreSee that pretty rainbow? That’s visible light. These frequencies of sunlight are reflected off everything, picked up by our eyes, and interpreted as colours and objects. While you wouldn’t think it, visible light from sunlight is damaging to our skin.
Read MoreHeard about “skinimalism”? It’s the move towards barely-there makeup that allows glowing, healthy-looking skin to take center stage. According to social media platform Pinterest, it’s one of this year’s biggest beauty trends. Still, while dewy foundations and cleverly placed highlighter can help you create a great “no makeup” look, the first prize will always be truly radiant skin. But for this, you’re going to want to invest in a brilliant skincare routine, not powders and paint.
Read MoreYep, you heard right. The sun can actually damage your DNA! Sunlight is a form of electromagnetic energy. You also have to worry about photons – particles of energy that hurtle through space into our atmosphere, crash into our bodies and penetrate our skin. This is what’s called direct DNA damage.
Read MoreExposure to sunlight may be linked to skin cancers, squamous cell, basal cell and melanoma. It will also cause your skin to age much faster. Fortunately, there’s a huge amount of research that supports wearing sunscreen daily as the best tool to reduce the risk of skin cancer and prevent premature aging.
Read MoreSunscreen or sunblock? Is there a difference? As it turns out, yes! To better understand which is best to use, let’s have a look at the differences and the similarities.
Read MoreUVA and UVB only make up 3% of the frequency of sunlight that reaches the skin, which we agree are the most dangerous form of sunlight. At Lamelle we have a product that provides complete protection, in that it protects skin not only from UVA and UVB but also from the effects of the full spectrum of sunlight.
Read MoreThe rule of thumb is to re-apply your sunscreen every two to three hours if you are going to be in direct sun, regardless of the SPF.
Read MoreStill, regardless of which age you get them, spotty skin is always a confidence killer. Having to battle with pimples as an adult is awful. But having to endure acne in high school as an insecure teen is a nightmare.
Read MoreAs an adult, the things you have to worry about seem endless and acne really shouldn’t be one of them. Thing is, the spotty skin phase isn’t exclusive to teens. Many of us still struggle with pimples well into adulthood. (And yes, that monstrous one is just waiting to pop up right before that Zoom meeting. Fun!)
