Skin exfoliation: Which peeling to use?

Peeling or exfoliation of the skin is especially suitable for aging skin, or to remove scars and acne. To achieve the desired result, it is very important to choose the right peeling product. Subsequent care after its implementation is also very important for the successful improvement of the condition of our skin.
There are various forms of peeling, from fine mechanical, through enzymatic peeling to more aggressive chemical forms. They also vary depending on whether you can use them at home, in a beauty salon or at a specialized clinic, according to the type of skin and the problem we need to solve.

The finest form is mechanical peeling, which acts only on the surface. Dead skin cells are removed with abrasives such as fruit seeds, bamboo granules, ground coffee and so on. However, despite their softness, these scrubs should not be used too often, as the skin may react with irritation, redness or extreme dryness. In general, this form of exfoliation is suitable for almost all skin types.
On the other hand, we have chemical peeling that activates microcirculation. The intensity of chemical peeling varies depending on the specific treatment and different mechanisms used. Treatment requires extensive experience and some procedures are even reserved for dermatology centres only. AHA acids are most often used in this type of peeling.

What is the difference between AHA, BHA, PHA acids?
AHA acids are the ones that help to keep us younger longer (they slow down the process of natural aging), unify skin colour tone and tighten enlarged pores.
AHA ACIDS (alpha-hydroxy-acids)
- improve blood flow of the skin
- solve the problem of skin pigmentation
- help better penetration of active substances into the skin
- accelerate the exfoliation of dead skin cells
- help natural hydration
- stimulate skin cell renewal
Chemical peeling, also known as AHA acid treatment, is a relatively common procedure used to treat deep wrinkles and fine lines or acne scars, and to improve skin vitality, tone, and texture. It is recommended to complete it in the beauty salon. It is the most common dermatoesthetic procedure in the world. During this procedure, various acids (salicylic acid, lactic acid or glycolic acid and gluconolactone ...) are used on the skin to stimulate skin peeling, regulate pigmentation and provide skin revitalization, while supporting the remodelling of elastin and collagen fibres. This procedure is often used today as an alternative to laser or dermal abrasive procedures.
Caution: AHA acid treatment is not suitable during the summer or during periods when you will be exposed to intensive sunlight. The best time for this treatment is from autumn to spring.
When to use it:
1. skin suffering from acne
2. oily rough skin, enlarged pores
3. acne scars
4. pigmentation disorders – freckles, pigment stains
Of course, maximum effectiveness would be if you underwent a combined skin care procedure with other treatments and, last but not least, with the right lifestyle. There are three levels of chemical peeling: superficial, medium and deep.

Peeling with glycolic acid is often referred to as a dynamic process, as it takes a relatively short time, smooths the skin quickly, is effective on acne skin, improves tone and turgor, and can cope with acne scars. It also increases the absorption and effects of creams and serums.

Skin peeling with lactic acid is suitable for hydration and anti-aging
Lactic acid, obtained from sour milk, provides the skin with gentle nutrition and also gently exfoliates it. It renews the skin and helps to produce collagen. It immediately lightens, brightens and hydrates the skin.
The oilier the skin, the longer treatment you need. It is because this skin has a thick corneal layer. Removing the top will give the skin a signal to recover. Thanks to this treatment, you can expect your skin to better absorb the active ingredients from your favourite products, it will be soft and radiant. You can also look forward to reduced sebum production.
If you are a fan of AHA acids, but you are afraid to go for treatment, or you would like to apply AHA acids during the summer (which is not recommended), you can reach for the optimal triple combination of acids for a unique exfoliation. Using the unique patented fermented technology in our skin exfoliation serum AMPLE: N PEELING SHOT AMPOULE, organic acids are obtained directly from lemon, plum, pomegranate, brown rice and black vinegar and this combination creates a patented active ingredient that acts to gently remove keratin and smooths the skin.

BHA ACIDS (beta-hydroxy acids)
They are best suited for oily skin and are a great fighter against clogged pores and acne.
- cleans clogged pores
- regulate sebum production
- have an anti-inflammatory effect
- give the skin a whitening effect

Only one type of acid is used the most, namely salicylic acid (Salicylic Acid), which is soluble in fats, penetrates deeper into the skin, cleans clogged pores, has strong anti-inflammatory effects and a whitening effect, and it also regulates sebum production.

PHA acids
They have the same effect as AHA acids. They are more hydrating, softer and better tolerated. Their great advantage is their high efficiency on sensitive skin and they can also be used during the sun period.

The best known PHA acid is Lactobionic Acid.
- accelerates the process of skin cell renewal
- soothes the skin
- moisturizes the skin
- fights free radicals
- improves the condition of sun-damaged skin
- has an anti-inflammatory effect

Can I do skin peeling at home?
Of course you can, but you have to be careful. Start by doing the peeling once a week. It is not recommended to do it more often. An exception can only be made for a very thick layer of keratin. You will see how your skin will react. First and foremost, start with a thorough and complete cleansing to clean the skin and remove makeup. The peeling is then applied to thoroughly cleansed skin. A suitable variant is, for example, a fine peeling gel. The gel removes keratin, leaving the skin surface soft and delicate. In the Temperance offer, you will find peelings that contain mung beans, which have a positive effect against clogging of pores – it clean and disinfect them, thus making the skin less prone to formation of unwanted rashes. Mulberry extract has a beneficial effect on grey skin, brightens it and gives it a radiant appearance. It also acts on pigment imbalances, because it contains inhibitors that reduce melanin synthesis.
Vitamin C
The popular vitamin C is also used in exfoliation, especially to unify skin tone and restore skin after sun damage. If you are a citrus lover, you can try, for example, ACEROLA MICRO PEELING – a gentle peeling that perfectly removes the stratum corneum and dead cells thanks to the natural enzyme from papaya. Acerola and Aloe vera smooth the skin and restore its structure, skin is then beautiful, soft, supple and perfectly hydrated.
