Taking care of the skin often involves spending a lot of time and money. Unfortunately, absorption of nutrients from creams, tonics, and masks is very limited if we do not ensure proper exfoliation, which is why a peel is so important.
A peel should be a mandatory part of skincare. Regardless of age, skin type, and skin issues, it affects the stratum corneum, which should exfoliate naturally. Unfortunately, over time, its thickened layer diminishes more slowly, and this process is also disrupted by fatigue, stress, and stimulants. A sign of abnormalities in the natural exfoliation process is skin dullness. The skin becomes rough due to the buildup of dead skin layers. It loses its glow and healthy tone. Dead skin cells can cause clogged sebaceous gland outlets. This leads to blackheads, and pores become enlarged. If bacterial infection occurs in sebum accumulating in hair follicles, painful inflammatory conditions develop.
What a Good Facial Peel Provides
We should treat peeling as an essential part of skin cleansing and do it as often as our skin requires. A good facial peel removes dead skin, unclogs pores so they can tighten, removes excess oil, restores a healthy tone and glow, and stimulates skin renewal. It helps brighten post-acne discolorations and removes dry flakes.
Types of Peels for Different Skin Types
There are several types of peels, differing in composition, active ingredients used, and purpose. Normal skin has the widest choice, as it can benefit from enzymatic and granular peels. The first type uses fruit acids to exfoliate, which dissolve the outermost layer of the skin. Granular peels contain small particles that scrub away dead cells during massage. This is a good option for combination and oily skin, as the effects of such exfoliation are immediately visible. People with sensitive, couperose, or actively inflamed skin should opt for enzymatic peels, which may not produce dramatic effects immediately but can exfoliate without irritation or spreading inflammation across the face.
M medical peel
In aesthetic medicine clinics, you can undergo peels that target not only the outermost layer of the skin. Jessner’s peel, available at the Beauty Skin Aesthetic Medicine Clinic, uses the DermaQuest formula, which contains lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol. This chemical peel causes intensive exfoliation of the epidermis. Fine expression lines are smoothed, the skin becomes smoother, and sebum secretion is reduced, significantly decreasing the occurrence of new acne lesions. The depth of exfoliation can be adjusted with subsequent layers of peel.
Homemade Body Peel
We should exfoliate the entire body to keep the skin smooth to the touch and with a healthy tone. A simple homemade body peel can be made by combining a few spoons of sugar with olive oil or coconut oil. This not only removes dead skin but also moisturizes the skin.
Peeling is a necessary step in cleansing that not only smooths the skin but also influences the absorption of active ingredients applied in subsequent skincare stages. For this reason, it is worth doing it regularly.
