Renewing face peel

In this article, we will talk about the formula for the success of a renewing peel, as well as what results you can achieve with it in the salon and at home. A list of funds and user reviews are attached.

What is a renewing peel

Skin renewal is the main goal of any peeling. By exfoliating the horny scales, we force the skin to produce new cells. According to the law of nature, it itself is renewed on average every 28 days, however, due to a number of reasons (increased greasiness, age, stress, solar radiation), this process slows down, and the epidermis does not get rid of the “dead weight” in time.

Mechanism of action

Peeling is a controlled damage to the epidermis with the help of acids or abrasives, which starts the process of cellular renewal. The main task is to exfoliate old cells so that the skin replaces them with new ones – young ones. This can be done in many ways, ranging from home scrub to laser treatment in the salon.
Law of peeling: the stronger the damage, the more noticeable the result. True, the recovery process will be longer, requiring, moreover, special post-peeling care.

When applied

The list of indications is huge. It seems that there is no aesthetic problem that peeling would not cope with. Here are just a few of them:

  • dullness and roughness of the skin;

  • black dots;

  • superficial wrinkles;

  • post-acne;

  • dark spots.

Efficiency

Of course, at home you will not be able to completely solve all of these problems. But if you contact a professional who will prescribe a course of procedures for you and select the optimal type of peeling: acid, dermabrasion or fractional laser, you can count on the fact that the skin will really change.

However, you should not discount funds for home use either. They act superficially, affecting only the stratum corneum of the epidermis, and are aimed at gradual renewal, without stress and aggression. As a result, the skin will become smoother, radiant and clear.

In addition, any peeling increases the effectiveness of subsequent care.

Renewing peeling at home

Prepare

Peeling is applied to a clean face, which means that before the procedure it is necessary to remove makeup and wash with a mild cleanser.

Description of the procedure

You can refresh your skin at home in one of three ways.

Scrub

Dead particles are exfoliated with abrasives enclosed in a cream or gel texture. They are used 1-2 times a week to support the natural process of cellular renewal. The procedure should definitely be included in the beauty routine so that the skin remains smooth, radiant, well-groomed. Scrub is applied to wet skin with circular massage movements, washed off with water.

Exfoliants are often found in clay-based purifying masks.

Mask

Resurfacing masks usually contain a small percentage of acids and may include exfoliating particles. The composition is applied for several minutes on dry skin, then washed off with water.

Lotions and serums

These are night remedies that are used at bedtime – either before a night cream, or on their own. They contain chemical skin exfoliating agents in a low concentration that does not cause peeling.

You should not expect an instant result, but gradually the skin condition will improve, and a noticeable effect can be observed on average after four weeks.
