Every woman wants to be beautiful. And this can be achieved if you give yourself, your beloved, time and a little effort. Look younger and refresh your face with peeling. This cosmetic procedure is quite in demand by modern women. Its essence lies in the fact that the upper layer of the epidermis is removed. The result will depend on what type of peeling you have applied. The most common (let's say so - home) is a mechanical, or manual peeling, which is carried out with the help of various scrubs. But you can only slightly improve the skin color. A more effective procedure is chemical peeling. In this case, various acids are used to affect the skin, and as a result, a chemical burn of the required depth is obtained. In this case, exfoliation of the upper keratinized cells occurs, the structure of the skin improves.
Chemical peeling is treated with salicylic acid peeling, which is a good antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent. It does not penetrate deeply into the skin and does not cause irritation, which excludes the possibility of a side effect. As a result, the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized, the skin becomes smooth and acquires an even shade. In addition, salicylic acid prevents the formation of gums (blackheads).
Salicylic peeling: indications
The cosmetic effect of peeling with salicylic acid depends on its concentration. When carrying out the surface peeling, a 15% solution of salicylic acid is used, and for large problems with the skin, a 30% solution is used. In this case, the acid penetrates deeper into the skin, and as a result, the skin relief is leveled, the wrinkles are removed, the scars from acne are tightened.
Salicylic peeling is produced in the form of paste or solution, it is widely used for the treatment of acne (1 and 2 degrees of severity), as well as post acne. To give the skin a beautiful and well-groomed appearance, salicylic peeling is shown to people with oily and porous skin, and equally to women and men, as a result of this procedure will result in both a cosmetic effect and a therapeutic one.
