Why peeling should be done in a course. Why and how often is facial skin peeling done? Facial care after peeling

Flaky, prematurely withered, oily skin, or combination skin, problematic with many blackheads, in addition to quality care, requires special cleansing measures. Facial peeling is considered a popular method. Read below about what it is and what the procedure allows you to achieve.

Facial peeling is a cosmetic procedure aimed at cleaning different layers of the skin of a person’s face, using chemicals or hardware methods, in order to rejuvenate and smooth the skin.

The word “peeling” itself comes from the English word “peeling”, which means peeling or rolling.

One of the most common peelings is considered a cosmetic procedure for deep cleansing the skin using a special cream, gel and similar products to remove dead epidermal cells along with dust particles and other elements that clog pores.

This method is one of the most effective and safe, therefore it is more popular than other types.

In any organism there is a continuous division, formation and death of old cells. Thus, a kind of “molting” occurs not only in animals and birds, but also in humans, and even more often: human skin is completely renewed, gradually being replaced by a new one, in about 27 days, and so on about 1000 times throughout life!

Skin undergoes many changes with age - it loses firmness and elasticity, pigmentation and wrinkles appear.

But over the years skin renewal occurs less and less often, and the stratum corneum accumulates, thickens and becomes rough, leather is made:

rough to the touch, unhealthy grayish tint;
more sensitive to the sun, cold and other external irritants;
pigmented due to increased perception of ultraviolet radiation;
unable to get rid of dead cells on its own;
In addition, its dead particles clog pores, causing the appearance of blackheads, and sometimes subsequent inflammation, premature wrinkles, and sagging.

Who is recommended for facial peeling and contraindications?

Facial peeling (we found out what it is) is recommended for middle-aged and older women, since the need for artificial cleansing and skin aging are closely interrelated.

Sometimes, with problem skin - teenagers, in the absence contraindications, such as:

pregnancy;
high body temperature;
various injuries, eczema, psoriasis;
neurodermatitis, somatic disorders;
inflammatory and malignant skin processes;
allergies to the drugs used for the session;
bacterial and viral skin infections, pustular lesions, herpes;
serious cardiovascular diseases (the procedure activates not only local, but also all regenerative processes in the body, starting the renewal process and thereby accelerating all biochemical reactions in the body, increasing the load on the heart).

In these and similar cases, it is advised to refrain from this activity and use products suitable for your skin type for deep cleansing of the skin: natural lotions and soft organic scrubs.

Facial peeling results

Peeling facial cleansing, which lasts from several minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the type of procedure and the current condition of the skin, allows you to achieve the following results:

Facial peeling (what is it - see above): before and after photos

normalization of hydrolipid skin balance;
reducing the number of deep wrinkles and eliminating small wrinkles, scars, post-acne;
stimulation of the production of collagen - a natural protein that increases the elasticity, firmness and structural relief of the skin, clear outlines, and sculptural appearance of the face;
activation of skin metabolic processes, due to which symptoms of fatigue disappear, complexion improves, acquiring a fresh, even color;
elimination of other skin imperfections associated with age-related changes.

But It is extremely undesirable to expose young healthy skin to the specific effects of chemical reagents. It does not need additional cleansing, since the restoration processes occur naturally in it.

Facial peeling, which is not exclusively a preventive procedure, is an effect on the deep layers of the skin, which results in microtraumas.

Facial peeling is primarily intended for mature skin

On mature skin, the latter has a beneficial effect - the production of collagen, the “building element” of the skin, increases; in young, delicate skin it can cause dermatoses and prolonged irritation and redness.

The same can be said about the depth of the peeling effect - the older a woman is, the rougher her skin becomes, requiring a deeper penetration of abrasive elements.

The peeling procedure is often confused with exfoliation, considering it synonymous with the former, since it also involves peeling of the dermis and is translated as “flaking off.”

But exfoliants are plant (fruit) or lactic acids that facilitate the removal of dead microparticles on the skin surface - the epidermis, softening the rough layer of skin. Peeling particles, depending on their size, properties and composition, are able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, right down to the subcutaneous fat base - the hypodermis (acid peeling).

Facial peeling should not be confused with exfoliation

Alpha-hydroxy acids, which are part of gommages - “erasing” products - are typical exfoliants that actively cleanse pores of acne, post-acne marks and impurities, and also have anti-aging properties. Essentially, these are creams of a delicate consistency that are suitable for dry, easily vulnerable skin.

But still Exfoliation should be carried out no more than twice a week, so as not to erase the natural protective barrier of the skin, and she managed to restore it.

Benefits of the procedure

Peeling has its advantages:

facial peeling has a similar effect, but more pronounced - the skin remains clean for a longer period, which allows you to resort to this cleansing less often;
also, after such a procedure, the effectiveness of nourishing and moisturizing agents increases, which easily penetrate the internal structure of the skin, saturating it with useful substances for a long time;
its timely implementation renews the skin, slowing down the aging process, transforms it externally, making it smooth, velvety, tender and radiant from the inside;
after it, sebum production decreases, oily sheen is eliminated, combination skin type “evens out” to normal - the dermis functions in a balanced manner, secreting sebum evenly;
as a result, less makeup is required to correct facial imperfections, which allows you to look younger and more natural, and less often expose your skin to harmful decorative cosmetics.

Types of peeling by depth of influence

Types of peeling are divided into the following categories:

physical(ultrasonic cleaning or laser CO2 vaporization);
chemical(alphahydroxy acids of different origin (salicylic, glycolic) and consistency) - allows you to get rid of or smooth out scars, small wrinkles and excessive pigmentation;
mechanical(dermabrasion with abrasive microparticles, brushing);
biological(for example, “water” peeling with the help of Garra Rufa fish, which eat dead skin; in Thailand, such exotic procedures are very popular: special aquariums are installed in salons, where you can do a simple but perfect pedicure in this way).

Having learned what facial peeling is, it is necessary to find out the differences between the types in terms of the depth of their effect.

Superficial facial peeling

Superficial facial peels affect the stratum corneum of the epidermis.

Superficial peeling is the most non-traumatic

This is the least traumatic procedure for the skin.: chemical elements penetrate into the skin no more than 1/100 mm, leaving the deep “living” layers intact. It is sometimes used to prepare the skin for SCP, a medium chemical peel, to achieve better anti-aging effects.

PCP can be done every 1-2 weeks: frequency depends on the type and degree of oily skin. After it, slight redness on the skin is observed, lasting about 1-2 days, after which peeling begins, indicating the exfoliation of old cells, but there is no need to be afraid of this, since it goes away on its own after 3-5 days.

Medium facial peeling

SCP, or medium chemical peel, is performed using 20%-50% trichloroacetic acid.

For a medium chemical peel you will need 20%-50% trichloroacetic acid.

It is also used as a rejuvenating procedure after the harmful effects of solar insolation, which causes early aging and the appearance of age spots on the skin, as well as eliminate the consequences of inflammatory processes and age-related changes.

SCP is performed both on the face and other areas of the body: on the neck, décolleté, back of the hands. This type of peeling is used for patients at least 25 years old.

Before starting the procedure, preliminary preparation is carried out, which takes about 2 weeks.: skin is nourished with moisturizing tonics and creams containing glycolic acid, retinol, ascorbic acid; Superficial peeling is also carried out 1-2 times so that SCP affects the skin evenly.

To prevent complications caused by infections, it is recommended to take a course of antiviral and antibacterial therapy.

Also, to avoid hypersensitivity to trichloroacetic acid due to allergies, such as runny nose and watery eyes, Immediately before the procedure you need to take an antihistamine.

At the end of the procedure, the skin turns a little red, and then a crust forms, which subsides after about a week; The pinkishness of the skin can last up to a month (+/- 2 weeks). All this time, the skin needs:

protect from direct sunlight, use sunscreen (according to Dr. Mavon, 80% of the causes of skin aging are due to sun exposure),
moisturize the skin with vitamin masks and cosmetic oils, soothing herbal decoctions that maintain an optimal ph level.

By the way, this does not mean that the procedure cannot be planned for the summer season: in countries such as Israel and Florida, where there is increased solar activity all year round, peeling is carried out at any time.

Deep facial peeling

GHP, or deep chemical peeling is the most highly effective of all types of peeling, treating the entire epidermis, as well as the papillary and reticular parts of the dermis.

As a result, many senile and established facial wrinkles and scars disappear.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Preparation includes the same steps as for medium peeling.

There are the following types of deep peeling:

hardware;
chemical.

The first includes, in particular, dermabrasion - hard cleansing of the face with a special metal brush or a softer brush (a device with rotating brushes made of natural bristles), when the balls of the epidermis are removed step by step.

The grinding technique allows you to permanently get rid of such defects as:

scars;
post-acne;
scars after chickenpox;
consequences of acne;
natural (freckles, spots) and artificial skin pigmentation (tattoos), against which peeling with fruit acids is also effective.

CO2 laser facial cleansing is carried out with a high-precision erbium laser, which reduces the thermal effect on the skin.

Thereby the procedure is less time-consuming and painful(which is partly achieved with local painkillers) and is not traumatic.

The laser is capable of drying the contents of cells in a small fraction of a second. It activates collagen production, stimulating the contraction of its fibers, which has a leveling lifting effect.

The price of a session is 7-9 thousand rubles. The course consists of no more than 10 procedures.

Ultrasonic facial peeling

Facial cleansing with ultrasonic radiation, which causes vibrations and mechanical pressure in the surface layers of the skin, promotes the gentle separation of dead cells from viable ones without any damage.

increase hydration and depth of penetration of nutrients into the skin.

The issue price is 3000 rubles. For the procedure. 1 course equals 5-10 sessions.

Calcium chloride for face (peeling)

Peeling with calcium chloride slows down cataplasia (aging) of the skin. The basis of its action, like all other chemical peels, is the renewal of the deep layers of the dermis due to microtrauma and subsequent destruction of the upper ones: at first this is manifested by a slight burning sensation, which is quite normal (with the exception of itching along with redness, which may indicate hypersensitivity to chloride calcium).

The procedure is carried out both in the salon and at home, 1 time per week, in the following way:

The cleansed skin is covered with foam of baby soap;
Clean fingers are dipped into a 5%-10% solution of calcium chloride and rubbed into the face with massaging movements until a slight squeak and pellets appear;

Carbon facial peeling

Carbon peeling is a relatively new peeling technique in our latitudes, while in Europe and the USA it has already been tested enough to be in great demand.

The therapeutic effect is ensured by the double exposure of the laser and carbon gel with nanoparticles applied to the skin. The laser beam, hitting the carbon pigment contained in the gel, enters into an instant reaction with dead skin cells and, drying the mixture, leads to its detachment along with keratinized particles.

It fights all the previously listed skin problems, is used at any time of the year, is absolutely painless and does not lead to complications.

The maximum number of peeling sessions is 5 in 5 weeks. The price of the procedure is relatively reasonable - from 2000 rubles.

Important advice from the editors

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, you should pay special attention to the shampoos you use. A frightening figure - 97% of shampoos from well-known brands contain substances that poison our body. The main components due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the curls, the hair becomes brittle, loses elasticity and strength, and the color fades. But the worst thing is that this nasty stuff gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in organs and can cause cancer. We advise you not to use products that contain these substances. Recently, experts from our editorial team conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where products from Mulsan Cosmetic took first place. The only manufacturer of completely natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend visiting the official online store mulsan.ru.

Types of facial peeling

All types can be divided conditionally into 2 groups - according to depth and type of impact. The skin consists of 3 layers, epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat. The maximum possible penetration occurs to the membrane structures of the dermis, often limited to the removal of epidermal cells, which includes 5 layers.

Types by depth of influence:

Ultra-superficial - a minimum concentration of active enzymes is used. You can do it yourself at home; only dead cells are removed.
Superficial – a 1st degree burn occurs, the impact reaches the granular layer of the epidermis. Used to lighten skin, tighten pores, and prevent acne.
Median - tissue necrosis extends to the dermis layer. Thanks to a 2nd degree burn, renewal processes and elastin synthesis are activated. You can smooth out fine wrinkles, get rid of pigmentation and flat warts.
Deep peeling - the active elements penetrate to the reticular layer of the dermis, causing a 3rd degree burn. The rehabilitation period lasts up to 4 weeks. After healing, it is possible to get rid of deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and the effect of non-surgical tightening is observed.

Mechanical

The procedure involves the use of abrasive compounds or the impact occurs with special nozzles. As a result, the upper (1–2) layers of the epidermis are damaged.

Almond – based on mandelic acid. Belong to the superficial type of impact, thanks to which the skin is quickly restored. The advantage is the versatility of use for all skin types, as well as use at any time of the year, even in summer.
Diamond – carried out using special diamond nozzles. The cosmetologist determines the number and frequency of sessions, depending on the condition of the skin. The procedure helps to cope with wrinkles of medium depth, scars, sagging, and excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands. Recommended as part of an anti-aging program, effective for caring for problematic dermis.
Coral – the composition contains not only corals, but also Dead Sea salt, Brazilian herbs, and essential oils. It is recommended for use by owners of acne-prone, porous skin to remove scars and traces of acne. Helps cope with deep pigmentation and rosacea. Can be used to cleanse sensitive skin. The procedure is not painful; depending on aesthetic goals, at least 4 sessions will be required.

Hardware

A salon method for removing dead skin cells. The tools are various attachments, lasers, brushes, and if necessary, additional solutions are added.

Acid

Carrying out the procedure with acids is possible at home only with a low concentration of enzymes. Popular options are peeling roller, gel peeling; care products are safe even for frequent use. Only a cosmetologist can use compositions for a median effect. Deep acid peeling is performed only by a doctor using anesthesia. During the recovery period, redness and peeling of the integument are observed. Washing with soap, using masks and scrubs is not allowed; special gentle foams are prescribed for cleansing.

Retinol or yellow peeling is recommended for mature skin from 35 to 50 years. It is with this type that it is better to start rejuvenating sessions. The result can be admired for 3–4 months. The short recovery period is also an advantage. After chemical peeling, the face looks younger, it is possible to get rid of hyperpigmentation, restore tone and elasticity.
Fruity – depending on the concentration, there are surface and middle effects. The composition may include lactic, tartaric, glycolic, malic, and citric acid. It is recommended for the first age-related changes, to restore tone, relief, and smooth out shallow wrinkles.
Dairy – refers to the superficial, gentle species. Allows you to cope with unhealthy color, enlarged pores, increases elasticity and firmness. It refreshes and moisturizes well, but the composition is not effective against pigmentation and wrinkles. Recommended for skin care up to 30 years.
Enzymatic – special enzymes are presented as active components. Treat them as gentle, superficial species. Does not cause irritation, it can be used even with rosacea, as well as independently at home. Helps cope with decreased tone and dull complexion. Disadvantages include a short-term effect and the inability to correct more serious cosmetic defects.
Salicylic - is prescribed primarily to combat acne and normalize the condition of the oily dermis. Less commonly used to correct age-related changes. Can be used in combination with other types of peelings. Use gentle procedures, but peeling and crusting are still observed.

How to do facial peeling at home

Homemade facial peeling is used exclusively on the surface; it is possible to choose a chemical or mechanical method of removing keratinized epithelium. No special preparation is required, as is the case with professional products. It is enough to remove makeup with cosmetic milk and wipe the skin with alcohol-free lotion. Then apply the composition, then rinse, treat the skin with a regenerating cream.

Rules for peeling at home:

Gommages and scrubs can be used frequently; mechanical cleansing has a less aggressive effect on the skin. For oily, mature skin, it is recommended to use 3-4 times a week. For thin, dry skin, it should not be used; abrasive particles can injure the dermis.
For dry dermis, you can use gentle chemicals. Prepare an almond, surface-acting glycol solution from natural ingredients or purchase at a pharmacy. Allows you to normalize hydrobalance and accelerate regeneration. Conducted in sessions of 6 procedures, repeat the course after 3–4 months.
For normal skin types, both mechanical and chemical types can be used every 2 weeks.
Be sure to test the composition for a possible allergic reaction.
After rinsing, apply a soothing cream; do not use decorative cosmetics for 24 hours.
During the week, you should use products with an SPF factor to protect against ultraviolet radiation.

Contraindications for peeling at home are individual intolerance, the presence of inflammation, cracks, burns. The composition is not applied to acne, this can lead to the spread of infection.

Homemade peeling recipes

You can only use superficial peeling on your own. At home, it is easy to remove dead skin cells by accelerating microcirculation and improving oxygen breathing. Natural ingredients have a gentle effect on the skin, allowing you to avoid a long recovery period. You can also create recipes using pharmaceutical solutions.

20 ml lemon juice;

Mix honey with lemon juice, cleanse your face and steam. Using a brush, spread a thin layer over the skin, avoiding the eyelids. After 5 minutes, apply another layer. Finish after 15 minutes in the usual way. It is recommended to do the procedure in the evening, and the next day use a cream with SPF factor. Repeat the whitening peeling course in 5 sessions, once a week.

For acne

A cleansing peeling scrub for problem skin will be an excellent prevention of acne. The composition effectively cleanses sebaceous plugs, reduces secretion synthesis, and stops the spread of infection. Suitable for oily skin, can also be used for anti-aging programs.

Components:

2 bodyagi tablets;

First you need to prepare your face, cleanse it with cosmetic milk. Apply nourishing cream to the eyelid and mouth area. After putting on cosmetic gloves, crush the bodyaga in a mortar. Pour in 3% peroxide, the mixture will begin to sizzle. Apply with hands or sponge, lightly rubbing in. Leave to act for 20 minutes, then wash and treat the skin with a soothing cream. Repeat no more than once a month.

How often can you do it

Only a cosmetologist can determine which type of peeling to choose, depending on the condition of the facial skin. The frequency depends on many factors. Mature dermis needs more frequent procedures than young ones. For thin skin, this is a huge stress, which can lead to the development of sensitivity and allergic reactions. Aesthetic objectives are also taken into account. To combat problematic skin, fewer sessions will be required than to smooth out deep static wrinkles. The composition of the peeling is also important; the more aggressive the effect, the less often you need to resort to cosmetic procedures.

Superficial treatment is carried out in courses, at intervals of once a week. Be sure to alternate with other procedures to restore the skin.
The middle one is done from October to March, optimally 1-2 times a year. The number of sessions is determined by the cosmetologist on an individual basis.
Often you cannot do deep peeling, this is a huge stress for the skin, and natural protective mechanisms are destroyed. It is repeated no more than once a year, it is possible to carry out no more than 3 procedures in a lifetime.
Home peeling is the most gentle and can be done quite often – 2-3 times a month. The exception is the thin, sensitive dermis.

Rules for skin care after peeling

In addition to the special products that the cosmetologist will prescribe, there are general recommendations during the recovery period. You will need to purchase regenerating products with moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and protective effects. At this time, you should forget about cleansing masks and scrubs.

Skin care after peeling:

After the procedure, special gels, foams, and moisturizing covers are used for 3 days. It is advisable to switch to more nutritious formulations, creams, serums on the fourth day.
When choosing post-peeling creams, you should pay attention to the presence of wax, shea butter, lanolin, omega fatty acids, and a complex of antioxidants.
You can only wash your face with boiled, non-chlorinated water after 12 hours. Moisture cannot be wiped off with a towel; you need to blot it lightly with cotton pads.
Try not to touch your face, especially if you don’t pick off any crusts that form. You should not use decorative cosmetics for a week.
Care consists of 2 stages - cleansing with soft gels and moisturizing with creams.
In the next 3 months, creams and fluids with a high SPF factor are used. This will create a protective barrier and avoid the appearance of age spots.
During this period, you should also forget about visiting baths, saunas, swimming pools, beaches, and solariums. It is necessary to provide the skin with the most gentle treatment possible.

Self-care is a complex and step-by-step process. From her youth, every well-groomed girl knows that the skin needs to be moisturized and nourished, but first it needs to be cleansed in order to prepare for these procedures. Daily washing, removing makeup and other superficial manipulations are necessary, but you can’t do without deeper cleansing. More precisely, you can do it, but without exfoliation, the skin will not be as smooth and radiant as you would like. So peeling is also a mandatory and regular skin care procedure. But how often should you exfoliate your face so that it brings benefits and not harm? After all, the deeper the impact, the higher the risk of harming the skin. We will tell you how often you can and should do facial peeling, as well as how to do facial peeling that suits your skin type, its condition and your goal.

What is peeling? Types and methods of facial peeling
In general terms, peeling is the same as exfoliation, that is, removing “excess” skin. The excess is the upper, keratinized and non-living layer of the epithelium. It is formed as a result of the natural functioning of the skin. In its deeper layers, new cells are formed, and the old ones gradually die off and form a kind of protective barrier. In a certain amount, these cells are necessary for the safety and health of facial skin. But their excess makes it rough and dull. To ensure your skin radiates a healthy glow, you need to exfoliate your face and body. But if the skin on the body is quite dense, then the face requires more careful treatment. Therefore, you can’t do facial peeling often. But too rarely is useless.

The frequency of facial peeling depends on many factors. This includes your natural skin type, health status, and time of year (climate). But it is even more important to choose the right type of peeling, that is, the products that will be used to exfoliate the skin. Depending on the composition of these products and their cosmetic effects, the following types of facial peeling are distinguished:
All types of peeling, or exfoliation, remove dead cells and reveal the surface of new skin, and at the same time stimulate its regeneration. But the skin on different parts of the body and face differs in density and sensitivity. And the frequency of peeling is determined not only by its type, but also by the depth of impact (superficial, medium, deep). The deeper the impact, the less often such peeling can be done.

How often should I do a chemical facial peel?
It is chemical peeling that requires the most careful analysis and choice, so first let’s find out how often you can peel your face with acids. The group of chemical exfoliant solvents includes a wide variety of acids of natural and laboratory origin:

Fruit acids: glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, etc.
Antiseptic acids: salicylic, benzoic, trichloroacetic, etc.
Synthetic acids: kojic, phytic, azelaic, retinoic, etc.
Plant enzymes that destroy the peptide bond between amino acids in the proteins that make up skin cells.

In other words, the chemical peel procedure results in a chemical burn to the skin. Since this burn is not the result of an accident, but a controlled impact, its depth and duration are predetermined and strictly controlled during the process. However, even the slightest burn is an injury, and even its beneficial (stimulating renewal) effect should be minimal.

Chemical peeling inevitably affects not only dead cells, but also living cells in the deeper layers of the epidermis, where acids penetrate. Under the influence of acid, the protein of living cells denatures (its structure is destroyed), which externally looks like intense redness of the skin. In medical terms, such redness, bordering on inflammation, is called erythema. Erythema is observed for quite a long time after peeling. Depending on its depth and composition, from 7-10 to 14-20 days. Accordingly, repeated peeling procedures are not carried out more often than this interval.

The deepest versions of chemical peels cause not only redness, but also actual hemorrhages in all layers of the skin. The epidermis bleeds as a result of such damage, and a scab forms in place of the pinpoint wounds. The scab lasts on average about two weeks, and the erythema that replaces it does not go away for months (from 2 to 4). Doing deep peeling is often prohibited, and simply impossible. As for specific dates, they can only be prescribed by the cosmetologist performing the procedure after a thorough examination before and after peeling. We can only say that for optimal results (fighting wrinkles, reducing pigmentation, etc.), the lightest superficial peels are usually carried out in courses of 4-6 procedures, each of which is carried out no more than once every two weeks.

Medium and deep chemical peeling should be done once a year, maximum – once every six months. And at the same time choose the right time: early spring or late autumn, when solar activity is minimal. In addition, dark skin tone and enlarged pores make the procedure more difficult and reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, those with fair and thin skin can have their faces peeled more often than those with dark and tanned skin.

How often should I exfoliate my face in a salon?
While chemical peeling can be done both in the salon and at home (in these cases different compositions and concentrations of acids are used), neither laser nor ultrasonic peeling can be done at home. If you have chosen one of these procedures for yourself, then in any case you will find yourself at an appointment with a cosmetologist, who, after an examination, will select a suitable course, that is, the number and intensity of sessions. Without knowing the characteristics of the skin, we can only say that salon peeling is done a couple of times a week. Depending on the condition of the skin, from two to eight treatments may be required. Accordingly, you will visit a cosmetologist’s office every 3-4 days for a maximum of one month. This will be followed by a break necessary for complete restoration and rest of the skin. And then, if you want, the hardware peeling can be repeated. But that will happen no earlier than in six months. But if you do facial peeling with laser or ultrasound regularly, the skin will be renewed, but not damaged - in a word, ideal.

How often should you exfoliate your face at home?
Independent mechanical facial peeling, or scrubbing, can and should be done right from the age of 16-18. After 30 years, peeling becomes a mandatory procedure to maintain freshness and youth of the skin. Recipes for homemade scrubs and peelings are varied, and every family passes on its own folk recipes made from natural products from mother to daughter. But you can’t often peel even with the most natural ingredients. In general, the choice of peeling and the frequency of its use should depend not only on the fact that at one time it helped your mother and grandmother, but on the type and condition of your skin:

For oily skin, peeling can be done 1-2 times a week. More often it’s not worth it, because this will provoke even more sebum production, and less often the effect of peeling will be invisible. Make a natural scrub for oily skin from coffee grounds, fine salt and sugar.
For dry facial skin, peeling should be done less frequently: once every couple of weeks, or even less often (depending on the skin reaction). Dry skin needs a soft and non-traumatic scrub, which can be prepared from oatmeal, liquid honey, etc.
Mixed skin types require careful exfoliation and scrub selection. You can, for example, peel the T-zone once a week to remove “blackheads” on the nose and chin, and do facial peeling as needed. For peeling mixed skin, use a natural scrub made from wheat bran, tea leaves, or buy a ready-made soft cream scrub.
Normal facial skin tolerates home peeling best. Most quality cosmetic exfoliating products will work, but you can also buff with a mixture of sour cream or face cream with oatmeal, ground nuts and/or other natural abrasives. This peeling can be done every 3-4 days.

Even mild peeling traumatizes the skin to one degree or another. Do not overuse any type of peeling to prevent normal, healthy skin from becoming irritated, sensitive and/or dry. The optimal frequency of mechanical peeling can be considered weekly exfoliation in the warm season and peeling twice a week in autumn and winter. Well, salon cosmetic procedures are entirely under the responsibility of specialists who determine how often to perform facial peeling individually for each patient. Listen to the advice of your cosmetologist, do not be overconfident and exfoliate as often as your skin needs it. Beauty and health!

In order for the face to shine with freshness and beauty, the skin must be systematically cleansed of dust, dead particles and oily film. Pollution prevents her from breathing fully and slows down blood circulation. As a result, irritation, pimples, and blackheads appear on the skin. Facial peeling removes clogged pores, prevents cell aging, and lightens pigmentation.

Regular skin cleansing is a reliable way to remove inflammation, improve complexion and maintain attractiveness.

What is the secret of peeling?

Just a few decades ago, not all women knew about peeling, and only a few could understand what it was, although the procedure itself was well known to everyone. This type of facial skin care has been practiced since ancient times. Our ancestors carried out cleansing with wet river sand and various homemade products. This had a beneficial effect on the appearance, making the faces of beauties clean and radiant.

Now most women know well what peeling is. The name translated from English means “deep clean”, “scrape”. These words accurately convey the essence of the procedure. With its help, dirt and dead cells are removed from the pores. The epidermis is saturated with oxygen and nutrients, after which its intensive renewal begins.

A cosmetic procedure is necessary for all women without exception. The fact is that the cells of the upper layers of the skin die every 28 days, turning into keratinized particles. If they are not cleaned regularly, they clog pores, interfere with the appearance of new cells, and contribute to facial aging.

The main secret of peeling is that it helps the skin recover, cleansing it down to the layer where living young cells are located. In addition, it tightens the pores, preventing bacteria and dirt from entering there and destroys blockage of the sebaceous glands.

After peeling, the production of collagen and elastin in cells increases. These substances are necessary to smooth out wrinkles and elasticity of the skin.

What kind of peeling is there?

Depending on the effect on the skin, the procedure is:

chemical, when keratinized particles are dissolved with caustic substances;
mechanical, in which dead cells are removed from the skin using modern devices;
physical, requiring softening of the skin and impurities before cleansing.

Facial peeling also differs in the degree of penetration deep into the skin. There are three types of influence.

The most gentle procedure is superficial peeling. It only affects the top layer of skin. For its use, fruit acids are often used, which quickly eliminate flaking, refresh and improve complexion. Superficial cleaning is easy to do yourself using available cosmetics.
Medium peeling helps to cope with many defects on the face. It is done in a cosmetology office using chemical solutions or a special apparatus that removes the stratum corneum and polishes the skin. To achieve the desired effect, several procedures are required with an interval of 10 days. After each session, comprehensive facial care is required under the supervision of a specialist.
Deep peeling is used by women to get rid of scars, stretch marks, acne and severe wrinkles. This serious intervention in the layers of the skin should be trusted to professionals and done under local anesthesia in a hospital setting. Strong chemical or mechanical effects injure the skin, so the patient needs medical supervision for three days after cleaning. Complete healing, during which burning and tightness is felt, occurs within a month.

Depending on what problem needs to be eliminated, you can choose a peeling procedure aimed at relieving the inflammatory process, moisturizing, exfoliating unnecessary particles or regenerating the skin.

Indications and contraindications

If you want to cleanse your face with deep or medium peeling, you should definitely consult a doctor, because the procedures have many contraindications.

They are prohibited from doing:

during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
with the development of dermatitis or herpes;
if there are cuts, ulcers, or severe inflammation on the face.

Some women often experience an allergic reaction to the peeling components. This must be taken into account when deciding to undergo cleansing in a beauty salon.

Superficial peeling is easy to do at home using natural products. It is useful for regular facial cleansing for girls over 18 years of age. For medicinal purposes, the following signals serve as a signal:

enlarged pores;
red spots remaining after acne healing, small scars;
freckles and age spots;
excessive dryness and tightness of the skin;
manifestation of signs of aging.

Oily skin is in dire need of exfoliation. It is prone to inflammation, quickly becomes dirty, and becomes covered with a greasy coating.

What you need for the procedure at home

To make a facial peel, you can purchase a special composition at the pharmacy or prepare it yourself. You will need components that every housewife has on hand:

The features of light facial peeling are such that it has a wonderful effect on the skin, slowing down the aging process, maintaining tone and maintaining a blooming appearance. It comes in two types:

a scrub consisting of rough particles that act aggressively;
gommage, which has a delicate consistency that painlessly and gently cleanses the skin.

A self-prepared composition for home peeling does not provide an instant effect, like salon procedures, but with regular use it greatly improves the appearance, rejuvenates, makes the skin soft and rosy.

Rules of application

The cleansing composition should be applied along the massage lines in a circular motion, gently rubbing into the skin.
A light massage should be continued for 2-3 minutes, and then rinse off the applied product with warm water.

Gommage and scrub are recommended to be used in the evenings, so that during night sleep the skin calms down after the procedure. If necessary, the composition can be applied during the day, but in this case, try not to go out into the fresh air for 2-3 hours.

After washing off the cleansing components of the peeling from your face, use a nourishing cream, or best of all, pamper your skin with a moisturizing natural mask.

In order for facial cleansing to bring maximum benefit, you need to choose the right composition. You also need to know the frequency of manipulations. The facial peeling procedure requires taking into account the individual characteristics of the skin.

Dry and normal skin requires cleaning once every 10 days.

We women want to look amazing at any time of the year, in any weather. This is exactly why facial peeling is indispensable. Yes, this is not a cream for you: peeling exfoliates dead cells and literally “grows” new ones in return.
