But you have at your disposal the centuries-old experience of our ancestors, which has been polished and perfected by modern cosmetology. One of the ways to keep fresh and blooming view is the use of all kinds of peels, including acid ones.

The mechanism of action of acid peels

  1. The epidermis is the uppermost thin layer in which metabolic processes, as well as the growth and reproduction of epithelial cells, take place very intensively. It is necessary to protect the body from various harmful substances and microbes.
  2. Dermis - consists of two balls: papillary and reticular. It is here that the fibers that support the elasticity and smoothness of the skin are located - collagen and elastin. Also the dermis is rich nerve endings and blood vessels.
  3. Hypodermis or subcutaneous fat - in this layer between the fibers of the connective tissue there are lipocytes ( fat cells). The purpose of the hypodermis is to protect a person from temperature exposure environment.

Using acids of different aggressiveness, it is possible to act on certain layers of the skin to achieve the desired effect.

  1. For superficial peeling weak acids are used (lactic, salicylic, glycolic, fruit). With their help, the cosmetologist removes partially or completely only the epidermis.
  2. Medium peeling affects not only the epidermis, but also the dermis, which leads to a pronounced rejuvenating effect. For this procedure, trichloroacetic acid () or retinoic acid is used.
  3. Deep peeling held only in medical institutions, so this procedure belongs to surgical procedures. With the help of this kind of acid action, you can remove not only wrinkles, but also scars that remain after acne or acne. During this procedure active substance(phenol) reaches the hypodermis and sometimes the basement membrane.

By acting on the skin with acid, the cosmetologist controlled burns the skin layer necessary to achieve a certain effect. The body's response to a burn is the activation of regeneration processes: cells begin to actively grow and divide. How stronger burn, the faster and more intensively the recovery processes will proceed.

Acid peeling is a cosmetic procedure that can quickly rejuvenate your face and get rid of many skin problems: improve its color; eliminate acne, blackheads or pigmentation (including freckles); smooth out fine wrinkles, scars and scars.

Is it possible to make a high-quality acid peel for the face at home? Or be sure to go to beauty salon? Of course, salon service saves you a hassle, and it is highly desirable to use the services of professionals. But if in this moment there is not enough time or the "financial side" does not allow, the procedure can be done at home.



Advertisements sometimes claim that acid facial peels are the latest in cosmetic science. If we talk about the technology of production of professional tools and cosmetic equipment, and there is. However, hundreds and thousands of years ago, women different countries and estates maintained beauty and youth with the help of natural natural acids obtained from common food products: berries and fruits, vegetables, nuts, milk, etc.

AHA acids

V modern cosmetology natural acids are extracted in different ways - even from cereals and legumes, but those obtained from fruits, vegetables and milk are considered the softest and most gentle. They are called AHA acids: they are the main "active force" of acidic face peels.

Lactic acid - not only from curdled milk or yogurt, but also from grapes, blueberries, apples and even tomatoes. It acts on the skin as an acidity regulator, moisturizes and thickens the cells of the epidermis.

Citrus fruits produce citric acid with whitening, antiseptic and antioxidant properties; malic acid - from apples and tomatoes - stimulates cell renewal; wine - from grapes, aged wine and oranges, also triggers regeneration processes, moisturizes and whitens the skin.


Grape acid for acid peeling is obtained from tartaric acid, and the popular glycolic acid is obtained from sugar cane, sugar beet and green grapes. In the latter case, many complex chemical processes, but the final product is completely cleansed of harmful components.

What effect does it have on the skin


Acid face peeling triggers a "restructuring" in the epidermis: in its basal layer, active regeneration begins. The cells are being renewed; proteins of connective tissue are synthesized - collagen with elastin, and the polysaccharides associated with them.


Of course, the results are pleasing: the color and turgor of the skin improves, the face is tightened and looks younger. After the acid peeling procedure, dry skin "recalls" natural moisture, while oily skin produces less sebum... Caring products also work more efficiently because the skin absorbs cosmetics better.

Subtleties of the procedure

In general, the very procedure of acid peeling at home is "the same" as in the salon: the actions are the same, although the tools and means used are different.

The skin of the face is cleansed of fat and impurities with their own means (milk, lotion, etc.), but first they are washed; it is advisable to steam oily skin before cleansing. The scrub is used in advance, one day before the procedure.

A remedy prepared in advance massage movements applied to the face for 10-20 minutes. They are usually washed off with warm water (you can dilute it with milk) or with a decoction of soothing herbs ( Linden blossom, chamomile, calendula, etc.), then apply a moisturizing (soothing) cosmetic.

What formulations can be used at home

For acidic face peels, it is better to choose recipes with ordinary food products, and leave highly concentrated salon formulations to specialists. Experimenting with a face, wanting to "kill two birds with one stone" - and save money, and get a stunning effect - is not worth it. The mentioned effect is easy to obtain, but more often with the opposite sign: a considerable number of women after such experiments had to be treated by dermatologists, although few like to talk about it.

Peeling with glycolic acid

Light peeling with glycolic acid can be done by purchasing a kit at a pharmacy and following the instructions in strict accordance with the instructions. For example, the composition is washed off not with water, but with a special neutralizer. The concentration of this acid in such products is not very high - up to 30%, but for the first time they are kept on the face for no more than a minute. Then, gradually (in 2-3 procedures), the duration is brought to 3 minutes, and later, if everything is fine and you want to improve the result, you can use the means according to the same scheme, where glycolic acid more - 40-50%.

Homemade recipes and the specifics of the procedure

However, acid face peeling with natural ingredients safer, but the effect is not worse; any composition can be prepared in 10-15 minutes.

Lemon peeling with yogurt and cane sugar is kept on the face for 15 minutes and washed off with warm water. The ingredients are mixed in 2 tablespoons; juice is squeezed out of fresh lemon.


Pomegranate-citric acid peel is suitable for oily skin. Pomegranate seeds (2 tablespoons) whisk in a blender with lemon juice and liquid honey (1 tablespoon each). Apply to steamed skin, leave on for 10 minutes. Take off wet wipes, rinse your face with cool water.

Pineapple peeling cleanses, whitens and rejuvenates all skin types. The pulp of the fruit (150 g) is also whipped, with honey (2 tablespoons) and oat flour(1 tsp). Hold for 10 minutes.

Strawberry and sour cream peeling with almond oil suitable for everyone: the texture of the oil is light, and sour cream is used 15%; at oily skin face is not harmful, but especially useful for mature and aging skin. Fresh or frozen strawberries (4 pcs.), Beat with sour cream (1/2 tablespoon), potato starch(1 tsp) and oil (4-5 drops). Apply a thin layer on the face, after 5-7 minutes - the 2nd layer, and keep for another 15 minutes.

Grape acid peeling is applied on the face for 15 minutes, and washed off with a moderately carbonated mineral water... Beat berries (5-6 pcs.) Until smooth with the same mineral water (1-2 tablespoons).

Berries and fruits with the required acid content can be mixed as you like. For example, beat in a blender a few currants (black, red), strawberries, a couple of grapes (or 1 tsp lemon juice), add honey and gelatin (1 tbsp each). Heat in a water bath until the gelatin dissolves, cool. This peeling mask is kept for 15 minutes and washed off with still mineral water.



Another acid peeling with jelly - rejuvenating and brightening, is prepared with the juice of any citrus (2 tablespoons), honey (1 tablespoon) and coffee grounds. To the gelatin dissolved in a water bath, add honey with juice and so much thick that a not too liquid gruel is obtained. Keep on the face for 20 minutes.

Peelings for the face with "sour milk" are popular. From the same coffee grounds you can cook gruel with sour kefir. Keep on the face until completely dry, rinse with mineral water without gas.

The next lactic acid peel includes 4% lactic acid (usually 40-80% acid is sold, but can be diluted with water). For 1 tbsp. curdled milk ( natural yoghurt) acid will need 5 drops, plus ground oat flakes(1-2 tsp); beat everything, apply on the face for 15 minutes.


Dry skin will love the peeling with cream (1-2 tsp) and chopped almonds (2 tbsp). To this add chopped oatmeal (2 tablespoons), firmly brewed green tea(1 tsp) and rose oil(1-2 drops), beat, infuse the mixture for 20 minutes. Keep it on the face for 15 minutes, wash it off with mineral water.

Acid peeling is considered one of the most effective and not dangerous procedures for cleansing, smoothing and rejuvenating the skin, improving complexion, as well as eliminating existing problems and preventing the appearance of new ones.

Acid peels are quite large group chemical peels, their essence lies in the treatment of the skin with acids of various concentrations. Acid peels are allowed to be carried out at almost any age, because their effect is only superficial and very gentle. Penetrating into the epidermis to a shallow depth, they effectively dissolve existing impurities, soften and exfoliate dead layers of cells, providing a stimulating effect on the processes of collagen and elastin synthesis, as well as cell regeneration. This kind peelings solves the problems of hyperpigmentation (freckles, age spots, etc.), dryness, oily, sagging skin, loss of elasticity, eliminates mimic wrinkles, scars and scars from acne treatment, stretch marks, eliminates uneven skin relief, has a lightening effect and in general gives a noticeable effect of skin rejuvenation, which has a beneficial effect on its appearance. Acid peeling is also effective against enlarged pores, especially suitable for problem skin types. It is used more often than others in the elimination of skin diseases.

The result of acid peeling procedures can be seen after about fourteen days. The skin is visibly smoothed, its relief is leveled, tone is increased, elasticity and complexion are improved. Overall, she looks more youthful and glows with health.

Types of acid peels.
Acid peels, as noted earlier, are superficial. chemical peeling, has several varieties, depending on the acid and its percentage in the peeling composition.

Retinol (retinoic or yellow) peel. For the procedure, retinoic acid is used, but besides it, ascorbic, azelaic, kojic and phytic acids are included in the peeling composition. Can be used by owners of absolutely any skin type. In each specific case, to solve a particular skin problem, the specialist selects the appropriate concentration of acids.

Fruit peeling - natural fruit acids (grapes, mangoes, etc.) are used. The procedure is wonderful and at the same time mild remedy cleansing the skin from dead and keratinized layers of cells, as well as a means of preventing early aging... The small percentage of fruit acid in the composition makes the procedure safe. This procedure improves skin elasticity and has a tonic effect. Recommended even for young skin (teenagers).

Almond peeling effectively removes shallow scars on the skin.

Glycolic acid peeling - applied if necessary surface cleaning skin from dirt. In addition, it is recommended for correcting certain age-related skin changes, as well as hyperpigmentation problems.

Nowadays, the procedure of the same name using fruit acids is especially popular among acid peels. The advantage of this procedure is a quick recovery period, which is very convenient for regular use... In just a few days, your skin looks clean, smooth and visibly rejuvenated. The resulting sensations of dryness and tightness of the skin after the procedure are easily leveled by applying moisturizers and using thermal water.

Despite the almost complete safety and non-traumatic nature of such a peeling, the procedure should still be performed exclusively by a specialist with experience. This will avoid the development of any consequences and side effects.

Stages of the acid peeling procedure.
First, the beautician must remove the remnants of cosmetics from the face and cleanse it of impurities. To do this, he applies specially designed compositions to the skin, which, in addition to cleansing, degrease the surface on which, in fact, the treatment will be carried out. Acidic composition is applied to the skin in a specific sequence, while the beautician observes the reaction of the skin. I note that during the procedure, there may be a slight burning sensation, tingling or tingling sensation at the site of application of the composition. In case of severe redness of the skin, the specialist applies an acid-neutralizing composition. In this situation, the effect of the procedure will be low. If the cosmetologist overexposes the composition at least a little (if such a situation arises, then only with an inexperienced worker), the skin may react with swelling and the appearance of pigmented areas in the affected areas.

If the client has a normal reaction to the peeling solution, the specialist withstands certain time(in each case it is different), after which he applies a post-peel mixture to the skin to neutralize the action of the solution, as well as to moisturize and soothe the skin. The final stage of the procedure is the application of a special composition of the nourishing action that accelerates the regenerative functions of skin cells.

After the procedure.
After completing an acid peel, it is important to protect the skin from exposed sunlight by using moisturizing sunscreens for ten days after the procedure. After the procedure, the skin is transformed right before our eyes: skin irregularities disappear, the complexion is evened out, and the elasticity of the skin improves. As a result, the skin looks toned and smooth, as if you have become several years younger.

Taking into account the peculiarities of the skin and its susceptibility, as well as depending on the existing problems, specialists determine the number of procedures for each patient individually. To achieve the maximum effect, seven to ten procedures are enough. This peeling course can be done no more than three times a year. The effect of the procedure lasts for four to six months.

Side effect of the procedure.
After a session of acid peeling, redness, peeling, and swelling may appear on the skin. Do not be afraid, everything will go away by itself within a week. In rare cases, skin burns can occur, as a result of which pigmented areas appear in the damaged area.

Acid peeling works well with herbal medicine and aromatherapy.

Contraindications for conducting:

  • the presence of dermatitis;
  • keloid scars;
  • aggravated form of urticaria;
  • the presence of herpes in an aggravated form;
  • pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Of course, we cannot do this, but in our arsenal there are many means and cosmetic procedures, with which you can slow down the aging process and look your best. The invaluable centuries-old experience of our ancestors, brought to perfection, comes to the rescue. modern technologies in cosmetology. One of the most demanded salon procedures is a peeling of the face, including acid. We want to meet him today.

What is acid peel?

Acid peeling is a procedure that allows you to cleanse the skin of dead skin cells, age spots, acne marks and even smooth out fine wrinkles. During the procedure chemical composition it is applied directly to the skin of the face and lasts for a while until it is absorbed. After peeling, the skin will peel off heavily within 1-14 days. It all depends on how deeply the acids have penetrated the skin. As a result, problem areas, where there were dead particles of the epidermis and other flaws, will climb. At the same time, the skin comes off in a controlled way: in those places where it is needed, occurs quick recovery damaged areas.

Types of acid face peels

There are 3 types of peels, depending on the condition and type of skin, as well as on how deeply it should penetrate inside it:

  1. Superficial peeling. The mildest way to cleanse the skin with acid, which is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive. Typically, this is the application of a solution containing a small percentage of glycolic acid or carbon dioxide.
  2. Medium peeling. The solution penetrates into the deeper layers of the epidermis, which causes a 2nd degree tissue burn. Its main component is trichloroacetic acid. After the procedure, a hard crust forms on the face.
  3. at which chemical solution based on phenol, it penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis. The procedure is carried out only in medical institutions, since it refers to surgical procedures. It is able to remove both wrinkles and scars left by acne and acne. Such acid peels are prescribed for owners of very problem skin, as well as for the feet.

In addition to classifying the procedure according to the depth of penetration of the solution, I would like to dwell on the effectiveness of the action of specific acids on the skin. So:

  1. . The procedure will do young girls who have not yet experienced pronounced age-related skin changes. To do this, use grape, mango, cane or sugar acid. The result is impressive: the skin is more elastic, its tone is increased, and the aging process is slower.

First of all, use 2 times a day, morning and evening, mild cleansing scrubs and balms, apply sunscreen one hour before going outside and minimize use decorative cosmetics... Sometimes cosmetologists recommend to apply tretinoin (Retin-A) to the skin some time before the procedure, which accumulates in it and promotes faster and more uniform recovery.
