History of National Peel Day
National Peel Day was created by PCA Skin in 2020 during the company’s celebration of its 30th anniversary. Founded in 1990, PCA Skin has established itself as a leader in the skincare industry, and an expert on the subject of chemical peels.
PCA Skin created this holiday to shed more light on chemical peels and demystify the subject by providing people with more information about the process. The company says their mission is to ensure that chemical peels become a normal part of skincare regimens for people with all skin types. In a year, PCA Skin performs more than a million chemical peels.
During its first celebration of National Peel Day, PCA Skin launched a social media campaign tagged #FeelThePeel. In 2021, the theme was #PeelWithMe, which was geared towards encouraging people to share their chemical peel experiences on social media using the hashtag. The campaign contained a series of social media events, some of which allowed people to watch a live chemical peel session, as well as listen to the personal experiences of professional estheticians.
A chemical peel is a controlled technique that involves applying certain solutions to the skin to exfoliate it, revealing smoother and brighter skin. Chemical peels are not as modern as they seem. In fact, it is a process that can be traced to the Middle Ages, as women would soak cloth in sulfur, mustard and lime to apply to their skin. Gypsies even used a substance called “phenol” to perform deep chemical peels. In Babylonia and India, women were reported to have used pumice stones as an exfoliation mechanism.
