Autumn is finally here and that means the peeling season is open! Are you still looking at chemical facial peels and have doubts? Then read our article soon - we will tell you why chemical peels are needed, how they work, and what to look for. And for dessert - a review of professional multi-peelings ARAVIA Professional.

What are acid chemical peels

Chemical peeling is an acid-based gel, cream or solution. Peels can contain one acid, for example: salicylic peels, almond peels, glycolic peels. Or maybe a whole complex of acids. Such peels are called multi-acid.

Benefits of multi-acid peels

In such a peeling, the active components (acids) complement and enhance each other's properties. This means that with multi-acid peeling, you can cover more skin problems, and more targeted and deeply work on a specific problem. You get a clear result, saving time and money.

How acid peeling works

The acids dissolve the dead scales of the stratum corneum, helping them to exfoliate more easily and faster. Fat-soluble acids (salicylic, almond) also work inside the pores, dissolving sebum. The skin is cleansed from the outside and from the inside, it becomes smoother and fresher.

When dead scales on the surface of the skin peel off, it signals the cells of the lower basal layer to divide more actively. An intensive regeneration process starts. This is how the skin rejuvenates.

In addition, depending on the acid, peels moisturize, whiten, treat acne and post-acne, reduce skin oiliness, and smooth wrinkles.

What is important to know about acid peels

Acid face peels are superficial, middle and deep … They differ in the depth of penetration into the skin. In salons, cosmetologists do superficial and sometimes middle peels. Deep peeling is already an operation. When choosing a beautician, pay attention to whether he has a medical education and whether he has been trained in chemical peels.

The "power" of peeling depends on the percentage of acids, pH and consistency of the product. The lower the pH, the higher the percentage of acids and the more liquid consistency (water-alcohol solution), the more intense the peeling will be and the harder its effect on the skin.

To "extinguish" the effect of acids on the skin, after chemical peeling, use neutralizer … It contains alkali and “zeroes out” the work of acids.

Peels are done in courses of 10-12 procedures every 7-14 days, depending on the problem and skin type.
