While it’s true that skin naturally sheds skin cells (typically every 28 – 40 days your skin layers are anew!), that doesn’t mean it couldn’t use a little help. Parson Skin Center offers a variety of peels and facials to help your skin along. Dead skin cells are a major cause of dull skin, poor texture, and clogged (enlarged) pores.
