Pollution, stress, smoking, UV rays and blue light... All these elements rhyme with clogged pores and a blurred complexion. To remedy this, exfoliation is the beauty gesture par excellence. But beyond gentle exfoliations, peels can go further to give you a new skin. This technique, which acts in depth to eliminate dead cells and make the skin more radiant, is a great ally for your beauty routine. Here is everything you need to know about facial peels.
What does it involve?
If daily use of a facial scrub is one of our 3 essential gestures, peeling is a treatment to be carried out with care. The peeling technique involves applying a concentrated acid formula to the skin to eliminate the superficial layers of the epidermis, stimulate cell renewal and the production of elastic fibers and collagen. It helps toreduce wrinkles, acne scars and blemishes, and tighten dilated pores for brighter, smoother-looking skin.

The medium peel
The medium peel has a deeper action than the soft peel thanks to its composition oftrichloroacetic acid (TCA) and affects the entire epidermis as well as the superficial layer of dermis beneath it.

More abrasive than superficial peeling, it is performed exclusively in a beauty salonIt involves a few sessions spread over several months. Note that after a medium peel, the skin reddens and may be sensitive. It is therefore important to avoid exposure to the sun, and to protect your skin to help it heal.
What to do after a peel?
It is important to follow a few rules to care for your skin after a peel. Be sure to apply a sun protection every day with a minimum SPF 30 and do not expose yourself to the sun for 2 to 3 weeks. For 24 hours, avoid any intense activity that would increase the blood circulation of the face as well as excessive heat sources (saunas, steam rooms). For 72 hours, avoid waxing or exfoliation, and do not remove peeling skin or small scabs, as this could cause scarring. Also remember to adopt a soothing and highly moisturizing routine.
Finally, before starting a treatment of peelings in cabin, we advise you to start with a ProSkin Dermalogica facial facial to make a good assessment of your skin and start with the right routine, which will optimize the results of this deep treatment.
