The treatment
What is Skims Glow
SKIMS Glow is the SKIMS peel modality designed specifically to treat the first signs of skin aging, such as enlarged pores, fine lines, dullness and rough texture, in younger patients (up to 30/35 years old).
This SKIMS Method peel has a gentler peeling phase, without forming crusts, with a finer flaking that lasts about 8 days.
SKIMS Glow gives the whole face a true glow, restoring the radiance and brightness lost over time.
