The big day finally arrives and all your work has seemingly paid off; now it’s time to enjoy yourself and pretend none of that meticulous preparation ever took place: You just naturally look this fabulous!

As the group shots and selfies go digital, however, reality sets in:

• Do I look that old?
• Where did those wrinkles pop up from?
• How does my complexion make me look so much more tired than I actually feel? 

Was it the lighting? Perhaps the color we wore or how our foundation was applied? 

Unfortunately, your skin is the ultimate tattle tale when it comes to age and health, and even the most flattering light or expensive cosmetics can’t erase years of sun exposure or the passing of time from its surface. That’s because the damage needs to be treated from the inside out: No amount of make-up can truly fix it. And when today’s beauty standard is looking natural via minimal products, slathering your face with concealer in an attempt to mask that damage often makes things look worse. 

If you are looking to reduce or get rid of fine lines and wrinkles while restoring your skin’s youthful glow from within, it’s time to give chemical peels a try. ​
