At The Skinlab Limburg, we regularly discuss peels. We talk about them a lot on our social media, and in this blog post, we'd like to delve deeper. There's a lot to know about peels. Today, we'd like to tell you what they are and highlight a few.
What is a peeling
A peel uses a substance containing various ingredients and vitamins to exfoliate your skin, removing dead skin cells. It's important to do this regularly. By exfoliating your skin at least monthly, you stimulate the deeper layers of your skin to produce new cells. This, in turn, results in healthy, radiant skin. There are different types of peels, each of which can help address a different skin concern.
Acne peeling
A peel can also help if you have active acne. An AHA peel is often used for this. This peel contains various acids that have a positive effect on all types of acne. The idea behind it is that this chemical exfoliator thins the upper layers of the skin, making it almost impossible for sebum to accumulate. If you suffer from acne, a peel can definitely help.
Peeling for aging skin
A deep peel is often necessary for aging skin. In many cases, a peel containing trichloroacetic acid is chosen. This acid is very effective in improving wrinkles, fine lines, and even sagging skin. Thanks to this acid, you often see an immediate effect.
Peeling for melasma
A peel can even have a positive effect on melasma or pigment spots. The peels that are effective against this often contain retinol and salicylic acid. These substances reduce the production of styrosinase, an enzyme responsible for pigment production.
When should I not use a peeling?
There are always times when it's better to wait a bit before having a peel. Here's why you might want to skip it:
- During pregnancy
- Just after shaving
- For open wounds
- In case of sunburn
A peel can have a fantastic effect on your skin, especially when used regularly. Finding the right peel for your skin can sometimes be a bit more challenging, but you can always contact The Skinlab Limburg. We're happy to answer all your questions.
