What is peeling?
Removal of superficial layers of skin epithelium. Different types of peelings literally work wonders - they renew the face, making it fresh and healthy, remove unevenness, make for a time forget about wrinkles and other shortcomings. Life of skin cells is short, only 28 days. During this time, the cell manages to mature and reach the surface of the epidermis, and then it dies. The accumulation of dead cells, if not removed by themselves, leads to clogging of the pores and slows the process of skin renewal, makes it difficult to penetrate useful substances into the epidermis, thereby accelerating aging. To help skin integument as soon as possible to get rid of the stratum corneum, to update their upper layers, by facilitating breathing, you need to periodically peel. In modern cosmetology, many of its types.
Entertaining physics
Physical types of peelings are more traumatic, so you should not get too involved with them. The best option is two times a year. These include laser skin resurfacing and cryotherapy. Laser grinding removes fine wrinkles, traces of acne, pigmentation and many other defects. During the procedure, the uppermost layer of the skin is removed. The operation is performed in the clinic with the use of pain medications. Cryotherapy due to skin burn with an extremely cold temperature (liquid nitrogen) activates the blood flow and collagen production, the cells begin to actively regenerate and replace the "old" predecessors.
Home care
Cosmetic peeling is nothing more than the usual cleansing of the skin with a scrub. Of course, it will not give salon results, but it will help to get rid of the upper stratum corneum. If you do the procedure systematically, the skin will become fresh, resilient and elastic. Choose the remedy, given the type and condition of your skin. For normal and oily good scrubs with a high degree of abrasiveness, for sensitive - gommage (their effect is softer and not so damages the skin). Gommazhi and scrubs are put with pads of fingers or special sponge on massage lines at least twice a week. Knowing about the increasing popularity and magical effect of chemical peelings (read about them below), some cosmetic brands produce a series of professional tools that can help you get home results at home. For this you need only a consultation of a dermatologist, a set of miracle-jars and strict compliance with the protocol of procedure and the rules of subsequent care.
Chemistry for beauty
Chemical peeling is today the most effective method of skin rejuvenation without surgical intervention. It is so popular and common that it is called a "lunch break" procedure. With properly conducted manipulations and observance of post-peeling care - negative consequences and side effects should not be. During the procedure, special compositions are applied to the cleansed skin, causing a burn of the surface layer, which subsequently peels off. As a result, a new epidermis is formed. Chemical peelings should be conducted only by a dermatologist. Indications, number of sessions and concentration of acid solutions specialist will determine after examination. Before the procedure, all active compounds are tested on the skin. Use only that agent that does not cause an allergic reaction. Peeling begins with cleaning the skin with special solutions that degrease it and normalize the acidity. Then the active substance is applied to the epidermis evenly. The specialist monitors the reaction of the skin. As soon as they turn red, the substance is neutralized with a special solution or (depending on the applied composition) is washed off with water. A very important step in the chemical peeling procedure is post-peeling care. It always uses only special products that must contain sunscreens, moisturize, restore, nourish or whiten the skin (depending on the purpose with which the procedure was carried out). If the procedures and care go by all the rules, then you are provided with smoothing of deep and fine wrinkles, a noticeable reduction in the fat content of the skin and its deep moistening, facial improvement, alignment of the relief and lifting of the epidermis, narrowing of the pores.
Mechanical stuff
Peelings offered in beauty salons are usually more effective. Their results can be felt on the skin literally from the first procedure. The choice of the species depends on the condition of your skin and the problem that you intend to solve. Mechanical (hardware) types of peeling are practically painless and almost do not injure the skin. You can spend them more often than any other species, but optimally - 3-4 times a year. During the passage, rotating brushes of natural bristles loosen and exfoliate the upper layer of the epidermis, improving metabolism and speeding up blood circulation. Beforehand, the skin is cleaned and steamed. Brushes move on massage lines. Skin rejuvenation uses more rigid brushes. For ultrasonic peeling, a gel or mineral water is applied to the face, and then processed with a special device that emits ultrasonic waves. This method quickly and painlessly removes dead cells, and the skin after the first session looks more taut and smooth. Vacuum peeling also refers to hardware techniques. It partially exfoliates the upper layer of the epidermis and promotes the inflow of blood to the skin, opening the pores. Such cleaning is carried out, as a rule, in conjunction with massage and special masks. With microdermabrasion, the skin is polished with fine alumina crystals, they are sent under high pressure to the skin. As a result, the surface of the skin is leveled, the scars and fine wrinkles are corrected.
Be careful!
In the first 4-6 days after chemical peeling, a feeling of tightness of the skin and redness may appear (sometimes a white film appears, especially with chloroacetic peeling). After manipulations, you need to protect the skin from exposure to the sun with sunscreens with a high protection factor (optimally - 50 SPF). You can not sunbathe at least a month after the procedure. Use cosmetics labeled "for sensitive skin" or special post-peeling care, which you recommended by a doctor. Refuse the procedure if you have too sensitive skin, aggravated rash or any inflammation, with cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms.
