Dullness, wrinkles, uneven relief and loss of tone – face peeling cream effectively fights these skin problems. With regular use, it will improve the skin. And we will tell you how to choose the right one.
How peeling works on the skin
If we talk about peeling, it is now one of the most effective methods of skin renewal. According to the method of exposure, the following types of peeling are distinguished:
mechanical;
chemical;
laser
For peeling at home, a product with a cream texture is well suited, combining the properties of mechanical and chemical exfoliation.
At the heart mechanical impact – removal of dead cells from the surface of the stratum corneum of the skin with the help of abrasive particles:
crushed seeds of fruits and berries;
crushed eggshell;
crystals of sugar and sea salt;
polyethylene microgranules.
Action chemical peeling based on the properties of fruit AHA and BHA acids:
glycolic;
dairy;
salicylic;
grape;
apple, etc.
In addition, the peeling cream formula usually includes additional components:
vitamins;
antioxidants;
plant extracts;
plant oils.
The main characteristics of the peeling cream:
creamy texture;
small size of abrasive particles that are not actually felt on the skin.
Modern formulas allow the use of peeling cream as a night remedy that does not require rinsing.
Peeling cream combines acid and mechanical exfoliation
Effect from application
It is impossible to overestimate the effect of peeling cream. Removing dead skin cells helps moisturizers and other products to penetrate deeper into the skin and work more effectively. In addition, the peeling cream has several other useful functions:
improvement of blood circulation;
fight against oily sheen;
pore cleansing;
skin relief alignment.
