Taking care of the skin we can spend a lot of time and money on it. Unfortunately, the absorption of nutrients from creams, toners and masks will be very limited if we do not take care of proper exfoliation, which is why peeling is so important.
Peeling should be a mandatory care item. Regardless of age, skin type and skin problems that occur on it. Its action involves the epidermis, which should exfoliate spontaneously. Unfortunately, over time its keratinized layer disappears more and more slowly, this process is also disrupted by exhaustion, stress and stimulants. A symptom of abnormalities in the process of natural exfoliation of the epidermis is graying of the skin. The skin becomes rough as a result of the buildup of layers of dead skin. It loses its luster and healthy color. Dead skin cells can cause clogging of the sebaceous glands’ mouths. This results in the formation of blackheads, and the pores become enlarged. If, in addition, there is an infection of bacterial sebum accumulating in the hair follicles then painful inflammation will develop.
What gives a good facial scrub
We should treat scrubbing as a mandatory part of skin cleansing and perform it as often as our skin requires. A good facial scrub removes keratinized skin, unclogs pores so they can tighten, removes excess sebum, restores healthy skin tone and radiance, and stimulates skin renewal. It helps lighten acne blemishes and remove dry skin.
Types of scrubs for different skin types
There are several types of scrubs, which differ in their composition, the type of active ingredients used and their purpose. Normal skin has the biggest choice, as it can benefit from both enzymatic and fine-grained scrubs. The first type uses the exfoliating properties of fruit acids to dissolve the top layer of the epidermis. Granular scrubs have particles in them, which rub off a layer of keratinized cells under massage. This is a good option for those with combination and oily skin, as the effects of such exfoliation are visible immediately. Those with sensitive, vascular skin or with active pus lesions should bet on enzyme peels, which do not produce spectacular results immediately after application, but are able to exfoliate the epidermis without the risk of irritation or spreading inflammation throughout the face.
Medical peeling
In aesthetic medicine salons, we can undergo peels that cover more than just the top layer of the epidermis. The Jessner peel, available at Beauty Skin Aesthetic Medicine Clinic, uses the DermaQuest formula, which contains lactic acid, salicylic acid and resorcinol. Such chemical peeling causes intense exfoliation within the epidermis. Fine facial wrinkles are smoothed, the skin becomes smoother, reduces sebum secretion, which realistically reduces the number of new acne lesions. The depth of exfoliation can be adjusted, with successive layers of peeling.
Homemade body scrub
We should exfoliate the skin all over the body to make it smooth to the touch and have a healthy tone. We can make a simple homemade body scrub ourselves by combining a few tablespoons of sugar with olive oil or coconut oil. This not only gets rid of dead skin, but also moisturizes the skin.
Peeling is a mandatory point of cleansing, which not only smooths, but also affects the absorption of active ingredients applied in the next stages of care. Therefore, it is worth doing it regularly.
