Preferring home peels to salon peels, it is important to consider the risk of complications. Even a minor mistake in carrying out the procedure and exceeding the concentration of the agent will leave unpleasant consequences after cleansing.

What is chemical peeling

Our skin is made up of many cells. The life of each of them is short-lived, only 28 days. If in youth the skin is able to independently get rid of dead cells and replace them with new and elastic ones, then with age this process slows down, and non-working particles accumulate, forming layers. Such accumulations worsen the condition of the integument, clog the pores and prevent nutrients and oxygen from entering the epidermis. It is at this moment that it is worth discovering what peeling is.

Dead cells are skin “weights”, they weaken the inner skeleton of the integument, interfere with the normal functioning of other healthy cells. The main task of cosmetology and peeling is not only to eliminate these "weighting agents", but also to minimize injury to the integument.

Chemical peeling is the best way to quickly and efficiently clean the integument, but aggressive components (concentrated acids, alkali) are used for this.

The essence of chemical face peeling is quite simple: an acidic composition is applied to the face, which burns out the top layer of cells. Damage to the integument causes active regeneration, renewal of fibers. New fabrics differ from the old ones in elasticity, softness, and accordingly, the face looks younger. In addition, "new" skin easily absorbs useful components from cosmetics, thereby increasing its effectiveness.

What types of exfoliation are

There are several classifications of chemical face peels. This is influenced by the degree and depth of acid exposure, as well as the composition of the agent used (exfoliant).

In terms of the depth of impact, facial skin peels are superficial, middle and deep.

• Superficial peels are the easiest and most gentle procedures, because the chemical effect is limited to the upper layers of the epidermis. They are easily tolerated and rarely cause complications.
• Medium peels are a more serious intervention, the chemical ingredient touches the deeper layers of the skin. Such a procedure is very stressful for the integument, but the end result significantly exceeds expectations. After a mid-peel, the skin needs good support and high-quality post-peel care. The speed of fiber recovery and the ease of the rehabilitation period depend on this.
• Deep peeling - in terms of effectiveness, it is comparable even to surgical intervention. Acids affect all layers of the epidermis, up to the reticular dermis. The slightest violation in the performance of the cleansing. The unprofessionalism of the performer and non-compliance with the requirements for caring for damaged fibers are dangerous with serious complications and even residual scars, colorless spots on the face and other complications.

It is recommended to do only superficial chemical peeling of the face at home; in rare cases, a deeper effect is allowed. Deep peeling at home is impossible. Such chemical cleansing requires sterile conditions and high professionalism.

According to the composition of the used exfoliation agent, acids are divided into single-acid and multi-acid ones.

• Multi-acid peels allow a complex effect on the skin, strengthen the cells of the epidermis, normalize their functioning and the work of the sebaceous glands, moisturize and whiten. Each of the acids used contributes to improving the quality of the skin, so after such procedures, the face looks fresh and radiant with health.
• One-acid products are recommended for use with a pronounced problem, in order to eliminate it. For example, to combat acne, dry or oily integuments, against the first signs of aging or skin pigmentation.

For home chemical peeling, the following acids are considered the safest, but at the same time highly effective:

• glycolic;
• dairy;
• retinoic;
• apple;
• pyruvic;
• lemon;
• salicylic;
• trichloroacetic and others.

The choice of acid for exfoliation depends on personal preference, on the condition of the skin and the degree of the problem. But in any case, before doing a facial peeling at home using aggressive ingredients, it is recommended to visit a beautician.

Pros and cons of the procedure

Chemical peels for the face have proven to be effective with unequivocal recognition of women and men. This is the most popular procedure in beauty salons.

Today, cosmetic companies offer those who cannot visit a beauty parlor to perform it at home. For this, separate, safer acidic formulations have been created. Using them according to the manufacturer's recommendations, you can achieve excellent results.

The main advantages of home acid peels:

• There is no need to wait for an appointment with a beautician, make time to visit a beauty salon, and even postpone your own plans. Home chemical peels can be done at any time convenient for you.
• Saving finance. For chemical peels at home, you can use ready-made cosmetic products and improvised means (fruit juices, aspirin, inexpensive pharmaceutical preparations). There is no need to overpay for the services of a professional.

There are also negative aspects of home cleansing:

• High risk of harming yourself due to insufficient experience in cosmetology. A mistake in choosing an acidic product, improper exfoliation and exceeding the exposure time can negatively affect the skin and cause complications.
• Systematic executions are needed. Home acid peeling alone will not provide the same result as in a beauty salon. This is due to the lower percentage of acidity of the composition. Be patient to achieve a significant effect.

Chemical peeling at home is not able to eliminate significant skin problems, but it will perfectly complement facial care, delay the early appearance of wrinkles and flabbiness of the integument, partially correct existing deficiencies and prevent their deepening in the future.

Indications and contraindications

It is recommended to carry out home peeling of the face with acids at the first signs of skin aging. Indications for performing chemical exfoliation are:

• grayness, dullness of the shade of the epidermis;
• flabbiness, decreased natural tone;
• loss of elasticity of soft tissues, their sagging on the cheeks;
• frequent single rashes, acne and comedones;
• clogged and enlarged pores, blackheads on the face;
• first mimic wrinkles;
• oily shine of the skin.

Before making a face peeling with chemical compounds, consult a specialist, whether it can be carried out and how correctly, without complications. At the consultation, the beautician will examine your integument for contraindications.

It is unacceptable to peel your face at home in such cases:

• there is an allergy to the components of the product;
• with abscesses, wounds on the face, as well as with exacerbation of acne;
• herpes has poured out on the face or there are oncological neoplasms, papillomas;
• there is inflammation in the treated area;

• with exacerbation of chronic diseases:
• the patient feels unwell, in a febrile state;
• during pregnancy and lactation;
• at an early age (up to 18 years old).

Safety precautions for home cleansing

How to do peeling correctly so as not to harm yourself and further complicate the situation? It is difficult to predict all the subtleties and possible questions when performing cleansing, but it is worth discussing the basic rules:

• Before peeling at home for the first time or when using a new composition, be sure to test for individual sensitivity to the agent used.
• The preferred time for peeling is late autumn and winter. The sun's rays at this time have less effect on the skin, especially with weakened protective properties.
• When choosing a method of exfoliation and composition, rely on your skin type, study the comments on the product, warnings for use.
• The peeling product is applied evenly in a thin layer. Do not touch the area near the eyes, lips, so as not to dry out the delicate fibers.
• Carefully read the instructions for the drug before doing chemical peeling.
• The action of acids can cause a slight tingling sensation, tingling, but there should be no painful sensations or a burning sensation. If they appear, immediately neutralize the action of the acid and wash off its particles to avoid burns.
• It is not safe to carry out deep facial peels at home, even if they are less intense than in the salon.
• Home skin cleansing, like salon peeling, is carried out in courses, but not more often than 1 time in 10-14 days.
• Acids have an aggressive effect on the epidermis, after which the fibers are damaged and weakened, so touching your face with your hands in the first days is categorically not recommended. Sprays and thermal water can be used to moisturize the integument.
• Skin care cosmetics after the procedure should be free of acids, fragrances, chemical components and abrasive particles. Only gentle, natural remedies will be beneficial to the skin during the recovery period.
• Any mechanical impact on the integument after cleaning, ripping off and scrubbing is unacceptable. This will not speed up the flaking of old fibers, but will provoke the formation of scars and scars.

Be careful, low-quality, expired products cause allergies and irritate the skin. It is better to buy peeling ingredients or ready-made preparations in a pharmacy or from a representative of the manufacturing company. On the market and in questionable outlets, storage standards are often not followed, as a result of which funds quickly deteriorate.

Popular acid attack methods

Almost all superficial exfoliation performed in a beauty salon can be performed at home without any problems. Cosmetic companies have taken care of the customers and offer separate product lines for home cleansing. Inside each preparation there is an instruction with a detailed description of how to do the peeling correctly.

Consider several popular and worthy methods for home use.

Peeling Jessner

One of the most popular acidic procedures in modern cosmetology is the yellow peeling or Jessner peeling. The composition for face exfoliation includes several acids at the same time (lactic, salicylic and resorcinol). Their complex action deeply cleanses the skin, normalizes metabolic processes, activates collagen synthesis and prevents the appearance of acne and blackheads on the face.

The full course of this type of exfoliation is conventionally divided into 3 stages:

1. Deep cleansing and acceleration of intracellular processes.
2. Rejuvenating effect, correction of facial surface relief.
3. Fights extensive acne breakouts, deep wrinkles and age-related blemishes.

Each stage differs in the number of layers of application of the peeling agent and, accordingly, the depth of the effect on the integument. However, there is only one algorithm of actions:

1. We cleanse the face from grease and dust.
2. Apply exfoliant.
3. We neutralize the acid.
4. We remove the remains of the acidic preparation.
5. We soothe the skin with a moisturizer.

For the first stage, one layer is enough, for the second - two and for the third - three. Each subsequent layer is applied after 5 minutes from the previous one. For patients with sensitive integuments, the third layer is applied after a short period of time to prevent the appearance of wounds on the face.

Skin care after peeling is an equally important stage of the procedure. To avoid unpleasant marks on your face from acid exposure, adhere to the following rules:

• wash with acidified water after exfoliation. Movements should be as soft as possible, not traumatic;
• peeling and crusts formed after a chemical burn, do not peel off, wait for their natural rejection;
• do not visit the bathhouse, solarium, sauna and pool, postpone physical activity and sports until the integument is completely restored;
• exclude sunbathing for a month, avoid direct rays of the sun;
• use sunscreen cosmetics every day for 3-4 months to prevent the appearance of pigmentation on the face;
• do not use decorative cosmetics in the first 7-10 days;
• do not use cosmetic products containing alcohol, aggressive chemical additives, fragrances until the skin is completely restored.

Milk peeling

Lactic acid is contained in a small amount in the cells of the epidermis, therefore, the cleansing technique of the same name is easily perceived by the skin, as a rule, without complications and prolonged rehabilitation. Let's consider how to make a chemical peel with lactic acid at home:

1. 2 weeks before the scheduled cleansing, postpone sunbathing, and add a cream with a small amount of lactic acid to your daily care.
2. Check how the skin reacts to the acidic composition: apply a little of the product on the wrist and wait for the reaction. Severe burning, pain and irritation are unacceptable.
3. Cleanse your face with toner or facial wash.
4. Apply diluted milk solution (lactic acid concentration should not exceed 10%). Do this with cotton swabs in parallel stripes from the forehead to the chin. It is important to distribute the composition evenly so as not to burn out individual areas.
5. For the first procedure, limit yourself to 1 minute of exposure to the integument, then increase this time to 3 minutes.
6. To neutralize the acid, treat your face with a mild alkaline solution (1 teaspoon of baking soda in 200 ml of water). Wash off the rest of the drug with plenty of water.
7. Moisturize your face with cream.

Carry out the next cleansing procedure after at least 7-10 days. In general, the course of peels is up to 5 procedures.

The main rule of the rehabilitation period is that you cannot use products with retinol in the composition, and fatty creams are also unacceptable in the first days. Otherwise, the recommendations are general: no heat effects (baths, saunas, compresses, physical activity) and intensive moisturizing of damaged tissues.

Glycolic peeling

This type of cleansing is safe and hypoallergenic. The procedure allows you to improve the metabolism in the cells of the epidermis, smooth out wrinkles and folds on the face, even out the shade and eliminate the problem with acne. Visible changes will become noticeable after several procedures.

This type of exfoliation will be useful at 25 and 45 years old. For cleansing, glycolic acid is used, with a concentration of 10-15%.

Peeling with glycolic acid is performed in the following order:

1. The face is cleaned of dust and makeup particles.
2. To degrease the integument, the face is additionally wiped with a glycolic acid-based lotion (5%).
3. The exfoliant (glycolic acid up to 15%) is applied to the skin in an even, thin layer. Wrinkles and problem areas can be repaired. Use cotton swabs to apply the product. Begin exfoliation from the forehead, gently dropping down to the chin. It is better not to touch the sensitive area around the eyes, eyelids and lips.
4. After applying the product, wait for a while for the ingredient to take effect. Then apply the gel neutralizer. Rinse off any remaining acidic composition with warm water.
5. Secure the result with a natural nourishing mask and moisturizer.

Attention! Do not increase the acid concentration by more than 15%, so as not to provoke a severe chemical burn. For more pronounced results, contact a specialist, because doing deep peeling at home is very dangerous.

Alternative home cleaning options

Effective exfoliation can be performed using available tools. Their recipes are simple and do not require long preparation. Let's take a look at the best ones.

Aspirin for face cleansing

This type of cleansing is suitable for problematic and oily skin. After the first session, the oily sheen will disappear, the pores will clear, and acne will become less noticeable and inflamed. All this is due to the antibacterial and drying properties of aspirin.

6. Cover the result with a light moisturizer.

Lemon juice instead of chemistry

You can cleanse the integument of dirt, dead cells and whiten the skin with lemon. Lemon peel is done in this order:

Problem skin always requires special care. As a rule, to eliminate troubles such as acne and pimples, many women often use an easy and effective method - facial exfoliation at home. The procedure for cleaning the surface layer by removing keratinized cells was known to the ancient Egyptians. Today, peeling is the most popular service that can be used in a beauty salon, but it is easy to do it yourself at home, the main thing is to follow certain rules.

What is face peeling

The cosmetic procedure for removing dead cells of the epidermis of different depths is called peeling - from the English "to peel", which translates as "sanding" or "scrape hard". Mechanical manipulations that are performed at home cleanse and exfoliate the skin well, but at the same time have a shallow effect. A strong, rejuvenating, pronounced effect is provided by a chemical type of peeling. As a rule, it will require special equipment, cosmetic products, and professional knowledge.

Home peeling for the face improves skin nutrition, triggers the mechanism of its regeneration, while it well removes shallow wrinkles, minor defects (scars, irregularities, enlarged pores, age spots). Due to the forced renewal of the epidermis, it is undesirable to carry out this procedure up to 25 years, because natural self-regulation may be impaired.

Peeling varieties

You can free the skin from sebaceous secretions, mud plugs, dead particles at home using a special cleansing procedure. Distinguish between chemical, mechanical and laser peels, which have a deep, superficial and median effect on the skin. As a rule, mechanical and medium peeling is more often used at home. They affect only the upper or middle layers of the epidermis, improve color, remove dead cells, and stimulate regeneration.

Mechanical

Exfoliating is similar to polishing a surface. Mechanical peeling at home for the face can be deep (microcrystalline) and superficial (brossage, film mask, gommage). The service of microdermabrasion or microcrystalline cleansing can be used only in the beautician's office, because it requires special technological equipment.

Brossage is the softest cleaning agent and can be done at home with a soft brush. Gommage is based on fruit acids (fig, pineapple), which, by weakening the bond of the stratum corneum, help to gently remove it. Mechanical peeling is carried out using fine aluminum particles. If the exfoliation procedure is carried out at home, the following precautions should be taken:

• the area around the eyes should be avoided;
• scrubs are used only after passing the sensitivity test;
• the intensity of movement should be moderate;
• after all the manipulations, you can use a fat cream.

Chemical peeling for the face at home

Exfoliation or chemical, acid peeling, depending on the degree of exposure, can be deep or superficial. For such cleansing at home, a variety of gommage creams and chemical preparations are used. The course of therapy includes 10 procedures and is recommended for women under 35 years old. After applying them, a burning sensation may be felt. When performing chemical cleaning, scrubs with plant enzymes, organic alpha-hydroxy acids (retinoic, malic, phytic) are often used.

Due to the action of chemical components, exfoliation of several layers of keratinized cells is provided at once, which helps to stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin. The effect of the procedure will be increased elasticity and rejuvenation. Chemical peels have several types of intensity:

• deep is carried out using a phenol solution;
• the basis for cleaning the middle layers is trichloroacetic acid, its concentration ranges from 20 to 50 percent;
• for surface dry cleaning, scrubs with calcium chloride, glycolic and salicylic acids are used.

Laser

One of the most popular methods for rejuvenation is laser peeling, which is based on the use of light radiation. The advantage of its use is: painlessness, the ability to adjust the depth of penetration of the beam, the minimum likelihood of side effects. Exfoliation can be performed with two types of devices:

• Erbiev. This method gets its name from the chemical used for cleaning. Erbium filters the laser beam, which evaporates only the keratinized upper cells, while it does not cause mechanical damage.
• Carbon dioxide. Such a device is capable of performing deep exfoliation with amazing accuracy. Powered by carbon dioxide. Carrying out laser cleaning requires preliminary preparation: you must stop visiting the solarium in advance.

What is home peeling for the face

Peeling is a cosmetic procedure, the purpose of which is to improve the appearance of the skin by cleansing it from the upper layer of dead skin cells.

The main active components of such products are fruit acids or enzymes that can penetrate deep into the skin and effectively cleanse it of impurities.

At home, without harm to health, you can only carry out superficial peeling, which implies a shallow effect on the skin and minimal damage to it. At home, both mechanical and chemical peels are available.

The abrasive particles mechanically cleanse the skin from dead cells, sebum and cleanses the pores. Gommage can also be used, which is suitable for dry sensitive skin: the product is applied to the skin and left for a few minutes, after which it is rolled up with your fingertips.
