Peeling is a cosmetic procedure during which dead skin particles are removed from the upper layer of the skin. From this, its appearance improves accordingly. This procedure is divided into three main types: chemical peeling, physical and mechanical.
Let's take a closer look at how to do chemical peeling at home. This method is quite simple, but requires accuracy.
Chemical peeling dissolves dirt without damaging the skin. Immediately after application, you can see the results:
- wrinkle depth is reduced,
- the skin texture is leveled,
- improves complexion
- freckles and age spots disappear.
For this type of peeling, enzymes are used that can dissolve dead skin cells. To get the maximum result, it is recommended to use them with salicylic, ascorbic and retinolic acid.
Chemical peeling at home with salicylic acid
We take one tablet of acetylsalicylic acid, add a few drops of water and wait until it is completely dissolved. Then add some honey. If you are allergic to it, then replace it with aloe vera gel. All mix well and apply to pre-cleansed skin. Within a minute, rub the mixture into the skin exactly along the lines of least extension. Much attention should be paid to problem areas of the skin - this is an area of enlarged pores with black dots.
This type of peeling is not suitable for sensitive and delicate skin, as it removes the stratum corneum.
Chemical peeling at home using calcium chloride
This method of cleansing is more suitable for oily and mixed skin. The procedure should be carried out very carefully, and only then can you get an excellent result.
Before you start peeling at home for the face, it is necessary to conduct a test in a closed area of the body and only then apply to the skin.
To prepare it, we need a solution of calcium chloride 5-10% and baby soap. If you do peeling for the first time, first use a five percent solution or just dilute the ten percent with clean water.
Wet the cotton pad in a solution of calcium chloride, squeeze it out a little and gently apply to the skin of the face. After the first layer is completely dry, apply the next layer and again wait for it to dry. This should be done four to eight times. Four times will be enough for the first time.
When the last coat dries, lather your fingers with baby soap and carefully roll the solution so that soap flakes appear. Massage your face and, if necessary, soap your fingertips again. If there are wrinkles near the eyes, you can work there, but only very carefully.
If done correctly, the skin should not pinch or burn. If this happens, immediately wash off the solution with plenty of water and baby soap.
End the procedure when you hear an obvious creak on the skin. With plenty of water, wash off the solution and soap foam from the face.
After the chemical peeling at home is finished, it is necessary to apply a soothing mask. To do this, you can mix a decoction of chamomile with crushed banana and chopped oatmeal. Apply the mask for ten minutes and rinse off. After it is advisable to apply a moisturizer.
Chemical facial peeling at home is best done in the evening, so that before morning the skin can recover and calm down. For oily skin, you need to do it once a week, and for dry skin - up to once a month.
Chemical peeling will make your face skin smooth, snow-white and supple in a short time. You should not spend money on this procedure in beauty salons, because at home the effect is no less.
