At Glow Up Studio, our metabolic peels are here to help you update your skincare routine, from the gentle, weekly Level 1 exfoliating peels to the more advanced L2+ treatments.

What Are Metabolic Peels?
Unlike traditional chemical peels, which can be harsh and abrasive, metabolic peels work in harmony with your skin’s natural processes. They stimulate healthy cell turnover, refine texture, and enhance radiance—all without the excessive redness or downtime often associated with harsher treatments.
At Glow Up Studio, we offer a range of peels tailored to meet various skin needs, from gentle refreshes to advanced rejuvenation. Whether you’re dealing with dullness, fine lines, or pigmentation, our treatments deliver noticeable results while prioritizing the health and balance of your skin.

PHA Hydration Peel: This multi-acid peel uses polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) to exfoliate and hydrate while strengthening your skin’s moisture barrier. It’s perfect for sensitive or dehydrated skin and offers a gentle, irritation-free introduction to peels.

Why Winter is the Perfect Season for Peels
Winter is uniquely suited for exfoliating treatments like peels. Here’s why:
Reduced UV Exposure: Shorter days and less intense sunlight lower the risk of post-peel sensitivity and hyperpigmentation, making it the safest time of year for peels.
Improved Recovery Conditions: Cooler weather naturally keeps us indoors, creating the perfect environment for your skin to heal and regenerate post-treatment.
Increased Cellular Turnover: Metabolic peels promote healthy cell renewal, which is particularly beneficial in winter when dry air can leave skin dull and uneven.
Prime Prep for Spring: Starting a series of peels now ensures your skin is glowing, smooth, and ready for the sunnier seasons ahead.
Exfoliation is essential during winter. It removes dry, dead skin cells caused by harsh weather and indoor heating, allowing your skincare products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
Winter Skincare Tips to Pair with Peels
Your skin’s health depends on your at-home routine. While monthly peels and facials create a solid foundation, daily care ensures lasting results. That’s why incorporating the right products and techniques into your routine is key. Read our blog on winter skincare tips to discover the top products we’re loving this season. Here’s how to optimize your skincare routine this winter:
Double Down on Hydration: Use serums like COSMEDIX Surge Hyaluronic Acid Booster to deeply hydrate and plump your skin. Pair it with rich moisturizers like Humidify Deep Moisture + Firming Cream for long-lasting protection.
Incorporate At-Home Exfoliation: Enhance the benefits of your peels with gentle exfoliating treatments like COSMEDIX Purity Detox Scrub or the Glow Bamboo Brightening Mask. These products remove buildup, leaving your skin smooth, glowing, and hydrated.
Always Use Sunscreen: Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin. Protect it daily with a sun-shielding, multi-tasking, age-defying moisturizer like our Peptide-Rich Defense Moisturizer to safeguard your skin and maintain your glow.
A Fan Favorite: Cranberry Exfoiliating Mask! This pure enzymes mask gently buffs away dull skin, revealing a softer, more radiant complexion. Packed with L-Lactic Acid and Cranberry Enzymes, it exfoliates while hydrating and protecting against environmental stressors. Skin appears smoother, plumper, and refreshed. Available in the studio!
A Holistic Approach to Winter Skincare
Healthy, radiant skin is about more than treatments—it’s about consistency. At Glow Up Studio, we believe in weaving self-care into your daily routine, as highlighted in our recent blog on maintaining a healthy skincare routine. Combine regular treatments with mindful at-home care to address surface concerns and nurture your skin’s overall health.
Nourish from Within: Stay hydrated and include omega-3-rich and protein-packed foods like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds in your diet to support collagen and skin elasticity.
Create a Winter Self-Care Space: Use a humidifier to combat dry air and turn your skincare routine into a spa-like experience with cozy lighting and calming scents.
Celebrate Small Wins: Track your progress with photos to reflect on the improvements from your consistent care, and embrace the confidence that comes with prioritizing your wellness.
