Peeling with fruit acids. Peeling with fruit acids in the salon and at home

Fruit peeling is one of the safest and softest types of peels for the skin. This type of peeling is considered a superficial peeling and does not disrupt the patient's usual lifestyle.
As its name suggests, this type of peeling is named after the fruit acids that it contains. Fruit acids are natural plant substances that affect only dead cells and do not in any way affect the performance of healthy cells. They can penetrate deeply into the skin and reach the upper layers of the dermis.

Varieties of fruit peels

In terms of depth of impact, fruit peels are classified as superficial peels (as mentioned earlier).
Superficial peels are indicated for problematic and oily skin, enlarged pores, acne in order to correct age defects. Superficial peels are very ineffective for obvious age-related changes in the skin and are mainly used in procedures for moisturizing the skin and deep cleansing it.
Fruit acids are: dairy, glycolic, lemon, wine, grape and apple.

Fruit peeling technology

Indications for fruit peels: traces of acne, hormonal changes in the body, teenage problems with oily skin.
The acids have a remarkable antioxidant effect on the upper layers of the skin and neutralize the effects of free radicals. Basically, the entire anti-aging effect is to stimulate the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and its own intradermal collagen.

Description of the fruit peeling procedure

1. On damp skin, apply a cleansing foam with your hands, wash it into a lather and rinse your face thoroughly with cool water. Avoid contact with eyes!
2. Using a soft brush, apply the fruity peeling lotion evenly all over the face. Start with the least sensitive areas: the nose and forehead. Then apply to the periphery of the cheeks, neck, chin and décolleté, then to the eyelids and cheekbones (remove in reverse order). Avoid contact with the mucous membrane of the eyelids and skin of the lips. Apply the lotion in strips so that they do not overlap.

You may experience a slight tingling or burning sensation when applying fruity peeling lotions. The time of such exposure depends, first of all, on individual sensitivity (usually 1-3 minutes).

Peeling with fruit acids or delicious “fruit peeling” is a cosmetological technique for removing the dead layer of the epidermis using fruit acids.

This procedure is considered very effective, but at the same time safe and inexpensive when compared, for example, with. What is its essence and peculiarity?

What is Fruit Acid Peel?

To achieve optimal and most effective action, experienced cosmetologists recommend combining several acids at once in one solution.

The beneficial properties of fruit acids for the skin were discovered several millennia ago.

Previously, they were used exclusively in medicine, but over time (a little over 20 years ago) they began to be successfully used in cosmetology as well.

The second name for these substances is AHA-acids (abbreviated from alpha hydroxy acid). They help to quickly and effectively brighten the complexion, remove unwanted age spots and even out its complexion.

In addition, scientists have proven their effectiveness in preventing the natural signs of aging (which include the appearance of expression lines, loss of skin tone).

Those people who suffer from acne, acne or post-acne manifestations will also appreciate the effects of alpha hydroxy acids on their skin.

These substances have anti-inflammatory properties, and in addition, they kill bacteria and infections that provoke extensive rashes on the face.

This procedure is considered so effective that peeling with fruit acids can even be performed on the scalp.

The cost of ANA peeling will be low - from 500 rubles per session in a small beauty parlor to several thousand in a serious large clinic.

Indications and contraindications for use

Since peeling with fruit acids is an almost harmless and safe procedure, it can be carried out from adolescence to old age.

For young skin, this procedure will provide relief from acne, acne and acne marks. And for mature skin, it will help to slow down aging, brighten the complexion, and also remove age spots on it.

How is the peeling procedure performed?

In order for the effect of AHA peeling to be fully revealed, it will be necessary to carry out at least 8 sessions of this procedure. At the same time, it is recommended to keep the intervals (each about 7 days).

Their effectiveness depends on the concentration of acids in the peeling product. For the first procedures, it is not recommended to use a solution with a high percentage of acids.

This is done so that the epidermis is not injured, but gradually gets used to the effects of the fruit components. Over time, the concentration of alpha hydroxy acids increases.

Peeling with fruit acids can be bought at the pharmacy and you can carry out the sessions yourself at home (like others).

In order to choose the correct type of acid, its origin and concentration, it is imperative to pay a visit to a beautician. He will help you design a course of therapy based on the essence of the problem that worries the patient and requires treatment.

Stages of peeling with ANA acids:

1. To begin with, the beautician must prepare the skin for the next procedure - wash off makeup with a soft gel or foam, delicately remove impurities from the face.
2. After that, a peeling composition is applied to the skin (most often in the form of a special gel). The type of composition is chosen by the beautician in agreement with the patient. The maximum exposure time to the skin is 10 minutes.
3. At the end of the appointed time, the doctor rinses off the product from the skin of the face with purified water, after which he tones it up with a tonic.
4. In some cases, at the final stage, a special acid neutralizer or a soothing mask is applied to the client's face.

After peeling with fruit acids, in no case should you go outside with an unprotected face. The cosmetologist must apply a soothing cream containing UV filters to the skin.

Some nuances

The AHA acid peeling technique is usually painless and does not cause any particular discomfort in a person. In some cases, people with sensitive skin may experience mild burning, itching, or tingling.

However, these symptoms are not dangerous and are evidence that the composition is "working" as expected.

In some cases, the patient may have age spots on the skin. This will not happen if you regularly use special sunscreen for your face or apply a cream containing UV filters.

By the way, cosmetic products with a higher sun protection factor provide the maximum guarantee that age spots will not appear.

It is interesting that peeling with ANA acids has been known to mankind for a long time. The first memories of him can be found even in the ancient Egyptians and Greeks.

According to the legends, Queen Cleopatra loved to take baths from donkeys' milk, and also washed herself with sour wine every day.

In addition, in those days, beauties often made masks for themselves from sugarcane juice, yogurt, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits.

Principle of action of (ANA) acids on the skin

In this case, the peeling procedure is a burn of the upper layer of the skin with acid. It sounds intimidating, but don't be intimidated.

The procedure stimulates active cell regeneration, as a result of which the complexion improves, its relief is leveled and the skin becomes more attractive.

In addition, some species (for example, citric acid) have bactericidal properties, and also normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands.

This reduces sebum production over time, narrows pores and minimizes the risk of acne. Also, alpha hydroxy acids stimulate increased production of collagen and elastin fibers in the epidermis, as a result of which its tone increases.

3 types of peeling

Peeling with fruit acids for the face is divided into 2 categories: depending on the type of acid used, and also according to the depth of action on the epidermis.

Depending on the level of skin problems, the age of the patient, as well as his individual characteristics, the cosmetologist selects the type of substance for the composition and the depth of its action on the skin.

Of course, fruit peels can be done at home using commercial products. But you are unlikely to be able to professionally and accurately determine the focus of problems on the skin, the desired concentration, etc.

The acids most commonly used for exfoliation are described below.

Acid name	Where is it kept?	Beneficial effect on the skin
Wine	1. Old infused wine. 2. Fruits: oranges, ripe grapes.	Gently but effectively exfoliates the stratum corneum of the epidermis, moisturizes and whitens it.

Apple	1. Vegetables: tomatoes, rhubarb. 2. Fruits: raspberries, apples, mountain ash, barberry, grapes.	Effectively exfoliates dead skin layers, regenerates damaged cells.
Glycolic	1. Cereals: sugar cane. 2. Vegetables: sugar beets. 3. Fruit: green grapes.	Well removes age spots, evens out the tone of the face.
Dairy	1. Fermented milk products such as yogurt, kefir, yogurt. 2. Fruits: apples, grapes, maple syrup, blueberries. 3. Vegetables: tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers.	Nourishes the skin with moisture, whitens, removes age spots.

What is Fruit Peel?

Fruit peeling procedure considered the softest and safest of all types of facial peels. It belongs to the types of chemical peels, but is carried out using fruit acids. The procedure helps to remove superficial dead cells, reduce oil content and start the rejuvenation process. With the help of ANA acids, only spent cells are removed, and the living ones remain intact and efficient.

Although in cosmetology, fruit acid is considered to be gentle, here much depends on the type of acids and their combination. Also the type of facial skin is important in the procedure the patient, depending on this, the type of peeling is selected.

The ancient Egyptians and Greeks were the first to use such a procedure, even then they made masks from various fruits and berries. The effect was almost the same as from the use of fruit peels in modern beauty parlors. In our time, more recently, peels were usually prescribed for those who had skin problems:

• age-related pigmentation;
• scarring;
• defects on the skin surface.

Now the composition of the peeling is more gentle and can be used not for medical purposes, but for cosmetic procedures. They became very much in demand among young girls and women of different ages. They are used to cleanse the surface of the face from keratinized cells, get rid of rashes, enlarged pores, and normalize the work of the sebaceous glands.

If you look closely at the photos before and after the fruit peeling procedures, you can see a big difference in the condition of the skin. Such facial cleansing is always only beneficial, and many women have begun to give preference to such cosmetic procedures.

Fruit acids used for treatments are natural plant substances. During peeling, they can penetrate deep enough into the skin and get to the upper layers of the dermis. They are referred to as a superficial type of peeling, therefore they are actively used to eliminate many skin problems, such as acne and age-related changes, as well as hormonal disruption. If there are serious age-related changes, then fruit peels are powerless in this case. They work only mainly to solve the problem of moisturizing the skin surface and cleansing it. Fruit peels contain acids in their composition:

• dairy;
• glycolic;
• wine;
• grape;
• apple;
• lemon.

Correctly selected composition depending on the condition of the skin has a remarkable antioxidant effect on its top layer and neutralizes the action of free radicals. Acids even out the skin relief, after cleansing, they do not allow the lower layers to breathe normally. This further prevents the development of various skin problems.

Procedure steps

The entire peeling procedure in the salons takes about 20 minutes. The fruit acids are mixed to form the desired cocktail. Vitamins A and E and other useful components are also added to the main composition, for example, hyaluronic acid, which is very valuable for the skin. Peeling consists of three important stages:

• cleansing;
• applying fruit acid and removing it;
• the use of emollients and sedatives.

The course of sessions lasts for 1-2 months after a certain period of time. Each time the beautician increases the concentration of the fruit acid cocktail, therefore the procedure takes less time, since the composition intensively affects the skin of the face. The whole peeling procedure is as follows.

First, a cleansing foam is applied to a damp surface, in addition to the area around the eyes. It is washed out to a foam state and then washed off with cool water. Then, using a brush, the prepared fruit cocktail is applied, starting from the least sensitive areas in the face and décolleté. Lastly, fruit acids are applied to the eyelids and cheekbones. The composition is applied with gentle movements in the form of stripes so that they do not overlap. After applying the peel, a slight burning sensation or tingling sensation appears on the skin. This can take several minutes, much depends on the individual sensitivity of the skin.

The next step is to neutralize and remove the fruit cocktail from the skin surface. Lastly, a protective, moisturizing and soothing agent should be applied to the treated surface.

The exposure time of fruit acids to the skin is considered a very important factor. This determines the effectiveness of the peeling procedure. The peeling time is not strictly fixed, because everyone's skin is different - barrier properties, thickness, skin type, acid sensitivity and cosmetic defects. The effect after the end of the course of procedures lasts from 6 months to 1 year, after which it can be repeated again if desired.
