Sneak in some lunch hour skincare treatments even on a busy day!

- Benaifer J. Mirza

Are you working for literally 30 out of 24 hours? Not to forget the million other responsibilities at home! Well, it’s high time that you pause for a bit and give yourself and, most importantly, your skin some, TLC as it doesn’t deserve to go through the stress of your hectic schedule. What’s more, you don’t need an entire day to pamper your skin. Simply squeeze in a skincare treatment during your lunch hour, and you’re sorted.

‘Lunch hour’ skincare procedures, as they are aptly called, give busy women that much-needed and well-deserved respite from their crazy work schedules. Simply head for a skincare procedure during your lunch break, and come back to continue working.

Here are some lunch hour skincare treatments that you could possibly book for yourself right away.

SKIN PEELING TREATMENTS

Dr. Shefali Trasi-Nerurkar, Consultant Dermatologist, Trasi Clinic and La Piel, elaborates on chemical skin peels.

In a nutshell: “These involve the application of fruit acid of varied concentrations to the skin to cause a controlled exfoliation of the various layers of the skin. It can be a superficial peel used to exfoliate the superficial layer of the skin, or a deeper peel, wherein the superficial skin as well as the deeper layers of the skin are involved. It aids rejuvenation, radiance, and helps in getting rid of acne that is formed by the obstruction of oil glands. These also help to exfoliate and reconstruct the skin’s cellular changes.”
