Facial cleansing is not just a routine procedure, but an important ritual that helps maintain youthful and healthy skin. One of the key steps in skin care is the use of peels and scrubs, which provide deep cleansing and epidermal renewal. Facial skin is exposed to many negative factors every day: polluted air, dust, makeup and natural sebaceous secretions can clog pores and cause imperfections. That's why skin care experts recommend regular use of peels and scrubs to rid the skin of accumulated impurities and ensure a healthy and radiant appearance.
What are facial scrubs and peels?
Facial scrubs and peels are special products that help remove dead skin cells, stimulate cell renewal and improve the overall condition of the skin. The main difference between a peel and a scrub is that a peel works mechanically by using abrasive particles to remove dead skin cells, while a scrub works chemically by using active ingredients such as acids that dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells and help exfoliate them.
Why is it important to use peels and scrubs?
Your skin needs not only daily cleansing but also regular deep care to keep it smooth, radiant and youthful. Here are a few reasons why you should use these products regularly:
1. Pore cleansing: Peels and scrubs effectively remove impurities from the skin's surface that can clog pores and cause acne and blackheads.
2. Improving microcirculation.
3. Evens out skin tone and texture.
4. Rejuvenates the skin.
5. Improves the effectiveness of skin care products.
Types of facial peels
There are many types of peels that are suitable for different skin types and for different problems. Here are some of them:
1. Mechanical peels: used to remove dead skin cells using fine abrasive particles. These can be scrubs based on coffee beans, sugar or crushed fruit seeds.
2. Chemical peeling. Chemical peels can be superficial, medium or deep, depending on the concentration of acids.
3. Enzyme peel: Suitable for sensitive skin because it is more gentle due to enzymes that break down the protein structures of dead cells, making it easier to remove them. Např. Holy Land Enzymatic Peel
How to choose the right facial peeling?
Choosing a scrub depends on your skin type and the specific problems you want to address. For example:
- For oily and combination skin, a peel with salicylic acid is recommended, as it effectively unclogs pores and reduces oiliness.
For example: Holy Land ABR Complex Peeling Pads
-
For dry and sensitive skin, it is better to choose an enzymatic peel or products with lactic acid, which gently moisturize and exfoliate the skin. For example Holy Land White Peel
-
For older skin, peels with glycolic acid are suitable to promote rejuvenation and improve elasticity. E.g. Dr.LEVY Radical3 Reboot Pro Peel
Care after peeling
After a peel, the skin is more sensitive to external influences, so it is important to take proper care of it:
1. Moisturising: after peeling, you should use moisturisers to help restore the skin's water balance.
2. Sun protection.
3. Avoid aggressive products: Do not use products with retinoids, acids, or other aggressive ingredients for several days after a peel.
Peels for home use: How to choose?
You should be careful when choosing a home-use peel, especially if you have no experience using these products. It is recommended to start with products with a low concentration of acids and gradually move on to more active products. It is also worth paying attention to the manufacturer's recommendations regarding frequency of use and appropriate skin types.
In addition, it is important to pay attention to the composition of the product: it should be as natural as possible and contain useful ingredients such as plant extracts, vitamins and antioxidants that will provide the skin with additional care and protection.
Innovations in facial scrubs
Modern technology allows us to create scrubs that not only cleanse the skin, but also provide nourishment and regeneration at a cellular level. For example, scrubs with hyaluronic acid not only exfoliate the skin, but also intensely moisturise it. Products with peptides, which stimulate collagen production, and antioxidants, which protect the skin from negative environmental influences, are also popular.
Should I use scrubs in the summer?
One of the most common questions is whether peels can be used in summer when the skin is exposed to intense sunlight. The answer depends on the type of peel. While some peels may be too aggressive for summer, there are products that are suitable for year-round use. For example, enzyme peels or gentle peels with lactic acid can be used in the summer as long as you use sunscreen.
Peels and scrubs are indispensable tools in your facial skin care arsenal. They help keep the skin clean, fresh and young and provide it with proper care and protection. Using the right products combined with regular moisturization and sun protection will help keep your skin in perfect condition all year round.
