Face peeling: tips for an optimal result
Facial peeling can significantly improve the complexion. Above all, regular use conjures up a radiant complexion and prevents impurities. With us, you will find out what is essential regarding face peeling, what types of peelings there are and tips for doing face and body peeling yourself.
If you use a facial scrub regularly, it can significantly improve your complexion. However, how effective it ultimately works depends on a few factors, such as your skin type or how often you use it. In the following, we explain what peeling is and what advantages it offers.
What a facial scrub is
Your skin renews itself completely within a month. This causes skin cells to form on the surface, some of which detach from the skin and fall off. However, not all skin flakes come off by themselves: some accumulate on the surface and can clog the pores. This, in turn, results in an uneven complexion; Skincare products are more difficult to absorb, and impurities are promoted.
The task of facial peeling is, therefore, to promote the desquamation of the skin and, at the same time to support its renewal. The application is straightforward. However, the success of a facial scrub also depends on which product you choose and how often or when you use it. When it comes to facial peeling, a fundamental distinction is made between mechanical and chemical peeling. You can find out which product is right for you below.
Next to cleansing and a cream, peelings are among the basics of skin care. And as with all cosmetic products, it is first of all crucial that you know your skin type and its unique needs. A distinction is also made between face peeling and body peeling.
Here you will find tips for care depending on skin type:
- Dry skin
- Oily skin
- combination skin
- Blemished skin
Effects of a facial peeling
Dead skin cells that don’t come off by themselves can clog pores. Excessive sebum production, comedogenic substances and dirt (e.g. from make-up residues) can also block your pores. This, in turn, can promote impurities – pimples, blackheads or acne.
A facial scrub can counteract this effect by loosening the upper layer of skin and thus balancing the clogging of the pores. In addition, the following properties are attributed to a facial peel:
- Cleans the skin down to the pores
- Prevents blemishes and can reduce them
- Promotes blood circulation
- It improves the complexion and makes it more even (the face looks fresher and rosier)
