The Custom Chemical Peel That Changed My Skin.

Let’s talk about one of my absolute favorite treatments at Skin Suite: the chemical peel with the one and only Rosie.

If you’ve been to Skin Suite, you already know Rosie is a total gem. But what truly sets her apart, aside from her glowing energy and calm presence, is how personalized every treatment is. This isn’t your one-size-fits-all skincare. Rosie takes the time to assess where your skin is right now, not last month and not what it “should” be like, and Rosie builds your treatment around that.

Tailored for Sensitive Skin

I have very sensitive skin. Like, my skin either absolutely loves a product… or wants nothing to do with it. There’s no middle ground. And Rosie? She knows that. She’s incredibly thoughtful when choosing what to use on me, always making sure each ingredient works with my skin type.

For this treatment, she chose an Illumiae chemical peel, which is one of my favorite skincare lines (and thank goodness, my skin loves it too). The second she told me she’d be using Illumiae, I instantly relaxed and then I knew I was in good hands.

The Treatment Experience

First things first, Rosie’s touch is magic. She has this incredibly soft, calming way of working that immediately puts you at ease. Even though a chemical peel can sound a little intimidating (cue flashbacks of Samantha in Sex and the City), my experience was anything but scary.

As the peel started working its magic, Rosie kept checking in. “On a scale of 1 to 10, how are you feeling?” she’d ask with a kind smile. That gentle check-in made me feel so safe and cared for, which is something you don’t always get with skincare treatments.

At the peak of the peel, I felt a little bit of tingling, nothing crazy, just a warm, active feeling that let me know it was doing its thing. And then, just as quickly, that sensation passed.

The Glow-Up

After the treatment, I looked in the mirror and wow. My skin was glowing. Like, lit-from-within, radiant, glass-skin vibes. But what really amazed me wasn’t just the instant glow.

Over the following days and weeks, I started to notice something else: my skin stayed clear. Like, super clear. No breakouts. No annoying little bumps. It wasn’t until a couple of months later when I realized I hadn’t had a single pimple, that it hit me. This wasn’t just a one-time glow. This peel reset my skin.

It was like my skin had been rebalanced, refreshed, and given exactly what it needed to thrive. And it kept thriving for weeks and weeks afterward.

Final Thoughts

If you’re thinking about trying a chemical peel but feeling nervous, don’t be. Especially if you’re lucky enough to have Rosie guiding the way. Her personalized approach, soothing touch, and deep knowledge of skin made the entire experience feel like a self-care ritual.

And honestly? I now consider this chemical peel a must-have part of my skincare routine. It’s that kind of quiet hero treatment, gentle but powerful, subtle in the moment but transformative in the long run.

If your skin’s been feeling a little dull, uneven, or just out of sync, this is the reset it’s been waiting for. Trust me.
