One of the most important skin care proceduresis peeling. Its essence is to remove dead skin cells of the epidermis, which prevent the skin from breathing and receiving nutrients from the means applied to it, clog pores and give the face a stale appearance. After peeling, the skin becomes smoother, gets a healthy color, becomes more susceptible to creams and masks, and the makeup falls on it smoothly and naturally. Due to the removal of dead cells, growth and renewal of the living are stimulated; therefore, this procedure ultimately has not only a momentary, but also a long-term effect.
Peeling is of two types - chemical andmechanical. Both are sufficiently effective, but have their own characteristics. Mechanical peeling, as the name implies, is carried out by erasing dead skin cells with abrasive compounds. Of course, their texture is carefully selected, and their effect is quite mild, but all the same, in addition to old cells, such agents can traumatize new ones, and if there are irritations or rashes on the skin, the situation can get worse. But in the case of blocked or enlarged pores and black spots, such peeling can achieve a remarkable result. Mechanical peeling of the lips is also most often used, although with chemical peeling the means can most often be applied on the lips.
A more gentle variant of peeling is chemical.In household products, the main active ingredient is organic acids, which act more gently than abrasive particles. Most often it is hyaluronic, glycolic, salicylic peeling. Acid peeling is the removal of dead cells of the epidermis due to their softening and subsequent rinsing. The used agents do not act on living skin cells, so there is no need to be afraid of acidic lesions. The only exception may be individual intolerance to the components, but such cases are rare.
Довольно часто встречаемая разновидность Acid peeling is a glycolic peel. The main active component of such funds is glycolic acid. It should be noted that glycolic peeling is a rather serious procedure, the effect of which lasts quite long and is pronounced, but, like most effective procedures, it has a number of contraindications. In particular, glycolic peeling is not recommended to be done in the warm season, as intense solar radiation falling on the skin in the first days after the procedure can cause complications. It is also not recommended to carry out glycolic peels at home - it should be done by a qualified technician. He will closely monitor its occurrence and if something goes wrong, he will be able to interrupt it in time using special cleansing and neutralizing agents.
What results does thisprocedure, and why many people choose glycolic peeling? First of all, this is a pronounced rejuvenation of the skin, and not only due to the fact that along with dead cells small wrinkles are eliminated and more pronounced smoothing occurs, but also due to the fact that the acids have a whitening effect and contribute to the disappearance of pigment spots. Also, the skin responds to peeling by the fact that it begins to actively synthesize collagen and increase its thickness, which leads to its strengthening and tightening. In addition to the clarification of pigment spots, glycolic acid also prevents their subsequent occurrence, since it prevents the synthesis of melanin in skin cells.
Another effect that glycolic peeling gives -it is a fight against skin problems such as its oiliness and acne, since glycolic acid has a drying and disinfecting effect.
