Women often turn to a beautician to solve their skin problems. Beauty salons are not cheap. I wonder if it is possible to do any of these procedures at home, for example, facial cleansing? It turns out that if you correctly approach the solution to the problem, then everything is possible. Today we will figure out how to make, for example, glycolic peeling at home. This is also a salon procedure, but it is quite possible to carry out it yourself.
Why do I need peeling?
Many women do peeling. It is simply necessary for oily problem skin, as it relieves it of black spots, enlarged pores and acne. Also, it must be done so that the facial skin is updated on time. After all, a layer of dead cells on its surface does not allow it to function normally. This procedure “burns” it. As a result, the skin color evens out, its condition improves, small wrinkles disappear. This method of facial cleansing is carried out using various reagents. Using glycolic acid-containing products, glycolic peeling is done. At home, for this procedure you will need a ready-made mixture with a very low concentration of reagent (for example, "Multic acid peeling 5%" from "Alpika" or gel peeling with glycolic acid 10% from "Pleyan"), as well as a neutralizer (tonic "Postpeeling" from Alpika et al.).
Technique
In order to carry out chemical peeling (glycol) at home, you must first cleanse your face, rinse it with plenty of cool water and dry well with a towel. Then, with a special brush, apply an acid-containing product to the face, naturally avoiding the area around the eyes. We hold the product on the skin for 2-15 minutes, depending on the expected result. If this is your first procedure, it is better to play it safe and wash off the mass early. You may feel a rather intense burning sensation. This is a signal that it is time to remove the product. To do this, take a cotton swab, moisten it with a neutralizer and wipe your face. Do not be afraid that the acid will hiss at the same time. This started a chemical reaction. At the end of the procedure, rinse your face with water and apply a soothing mask, for example, based on wheat germ oil. It will restore the skin after peeling.
Contraindications
If you decide to do glycol peeling at home, know that you can’t carry out the procedure if you have:
• herpes;
• wounds and abrasions on the skin;
• numerous moles, warts;

Aftercare
It is worth noting that glycol peeling can solve many skin problems. Photos of women before and after the procedure confirm the good effectiveness of this drug against acne and some age-related changes. But you must understand that the skin, subjected to such a rigorous "cleaning", needs careful care. First, you need daily moisturizing and nourishing products with a high factor of protection against sunlight. Also, do not visit the solarium for at least a couple of weeks. Secondly, you need to regularly restore the mask. And thirdly, some good nourishing cream should be applied to the skin at night.
