Efficacy of regular peelings
The skin becomes radiant. Dead cells of the upper layer of the epidermis weakly reflect light. After their exfoliation, young cells, closer to each other, are opened. Thanks to this, the skin gains a healthy shine.
You look younger. Regular exfoliation speeds up the renewal of epidermal cells and gives a signal to deeper layers of the skin to enhance the production of collagen and elastin.
Small spots become less noticeable. To ensure this effect, the peeling agent must contain bleaching agents, for example, vitamin C, phytic or azelaic acid.
Perfectly smooth skin. It becomes softer and more elastic to the touch. Due to the stimulation of cellular renewal, the skin begins to breathe better. Additional plus - reducing the number of wrinkles.
Thoroughly cleaned skin. Not only from dirt and dust, but also from dead cells. This is an effective way to control the clogging of pores and the appearance of unaesthetic spots. Therefore, peelings are especially recommended for owners of fatty skin, and also prone to acne eruptions.
Maintain the result of professional procedures. Peelings at home, despite their general availability, are much weaker than peelings performed under the supervision of a dermatologist, but they perfectly preserve the effect after the procedure performed in the cosmetic cabinet.
Greater effectiveness of cosmetic effects. After peeling, all the active ingredients of cosmetics penetrate the skin much deeper, as well as in larger quantities. Thanks to this, your cream starts to work much better.
The procedure is completely safe for the skin, provided that you clearly follow the instructions for using them. Before you start, read the instructions. Stick to this method and time of using the cosmetic.
Avoid ultraviolet radiation when peeling your face at home. Do not visit the solarium and do not sunbathe in the sun 7 days before the procedure and another 10 days - after it.
Use creams with a UV filter. This is a prerequisite. Within 2 weeks after the procedure, use cream with a filter at least 15 SPF (in summer, even up to 30 SPF). If you take medicine prescribed by a dermatologist, find out from him whether you can do microdermabrasion at home. Some drugs and drugs can react with components of cosmetics, which can lead to irreparable consequences.
If you use creams containing retinol or fruit acids, give up their use 2-3 days before the procedure.
How to use?
On the cleansed and dry skin of the face, apply a uniformly thin layer of cream (also on the outer corners of the eyes and the contours of the lips).
Massage the skin with circular movements with your fingertips, moving from the central part of your face to the outside and making circles wider (also in the area of "chicken legs" and lip contours).
In complex cosmetics for chemical face peeling, you will find all the necessary tools for both peeling and skin care after the procedure.
Apply an exfoliating agent. Start from the forehead, moving to the nose, chin, and at the end - cheeks. Gently massage your face from the middle to the outside (too vigorous massage can cause irritation).
Wash off after the time specified by the manufacturer of the cosmetic, and go to the last step, that is, applying a soothing cream or cream against wrinkles.
Chemical peels
Thoroughly cleanse the face. If the series does not have a special remedy, you can use a gel for washing for this purpose.
Apply to the face a cream or mask with acids. Do not worry if you feel a slight burning sensation. However, if in addition there is redness, quickly wash your makeup.
After applying cosmetics with acids, make sure to use a special care fluid that will restore the natural pH of the skin.
The regularity of the peeling procedure often depends on the strength of the preparation. The recommended treatment is usually 3-4 sessions in 7-10 days.
Treatment repeat 2-3 times a year. This is enough to make the skin smooth and fresh. Too frequent peelings can cause irritation.
Peel off your skin type
If you have oily, mixed or normal skin, do not be afraid of the results of microdermabrasion (irritation, redness) and you can do it even three times a week. Be careful if your skin is more sensitive and thin (in this case you can only perform the procedure once every two weeks).
If you have dry skin, choose chemical peels, especially those containing alpha hydroiodic acid. Thanks to such peelings, dry skin becomes more malleable to the action of moisturizing creams. Therefore, it not only acquires a healthy radiance, but also breathes better.
If you have a fatty or mixed skin type, to improve the condition of the skin you are recommended regular use of peelings. At your service is a great choice. You can do both microdermabrasion and chemical peeling. If you decide to use cosmetics containing acids, it is better to choose with glycolic acid. Reddened pores will be less visible.
Representatives of sensitive skin recommend mechanical peels that do not irritate the skin. Choose chemical peels with a low concentration of acid. Do you have a seborrheic type of skin, that is, the sebaceous glands are too active? Use peelings with beta hydroxy acids, for example, with salicylic acid. They are stronger than with alpha-hydroxy acids, so they act faster and more efficiently.
If there are visible changes on your skin - a rash, inflammation, - give up peeling at home.
