What is a Green Peel® and how does it work?

Green Peel® is a medically developed, biologically based skin resurfacing treatment that uses a blend of herbs rather than chemicals to renew and revitalise your complexion. Developed by German dermatologist Dr. med. Christine Schrammek over 60 years ago, this natural peel has become a popular alternative to synthetic acids. Micro‑particles of the dried plants are massaged into the skin where they gently remove dead cells, stimulate circulation and deliver vitamins, minerals and enzymes deep into the epidermis. The result is an increase in cell turnover and collagen production without the harsh side‑effects of traditional chemical peels.

What does the process involve? During a Green Peel treatment at Beyond Skin, your therapist first analyses your skin and chooses one of the three protocol strengths – Fresh Up, Energy or Classic – depending on your concerns. After cleansing, the herbal mixture is applied and massaged in for 5‑10 minutes. You may experience a warm, tingling sensation as the herbs activate. The peel is then removed and a soothing mask is applied. Over the next few days the skin may feel tighter and lightly flake. Within about a week your complexion is visibly smoother, clearer and more even.

Green Peel treatments are ideal for acne and congestion, pigmentation, scarring, dull or sagging skin and general rejuvenation. Because the ingredients are entirely natural, the treatment is suitable for most skin types and there’s minimal downtime. For optimal results we usually recommend a series of peels paired with professional aftercare and a tailored home routine.
