In such a situation, you can do peeling at home. If you follow all the rules of the procedure, you can get an excellent result, which will differ little from the results of a visit to professionals. But in order to learn how to properly do homemade facial peeling, you should learn as much as possible about all the nuances associated with it.

Definition of the procedure, its types

The facial peeling procedure involves removing dead skin cells from the first layer. After it, not only the color, but also the texture of the epidermis improves significantly. A good peeling can get rid of small wrinkles and age spots; it also helps to tighten pores and improve the overall condition of the skin.

There are two types of this procedure.

Mechanical. It is carried out using various cosmetics that have a grinding effect. As a rule, these are scrubs or gommage. Mechanical peeling at home is quite simple to do. The ingredients for making a cosmetic product can be found in your home. For example, this could be walnut shells, various grains, fruit seeds, etc. The main condition is that there are small solid particles that will remove dead skin cells mechanically, cleansing the pores and controlling the level of oily skin.
Chemical. This means the use of cosmetics that contain certain acids that can exfoliate the upper part of the skin and ensure its restoration. There are 3 types of this type of procedure:
surface;
median;
deep.

Chemical facial peeling at home is not recommended, as unprofessional use of such products can lead to significant damage to the skin. Also, you should not do deep facial peeling at home.

This procedure is equivalent to a medical one, and it is very important to have the appropriate education and skills to carry it out. Deep peeling at home, carried out by an untrained person, can have many sad consequences: chemical burns of varying severity, the appearance of scars on the face, acceleration of the process of withering of the epidermis and other unpleasant surprises. Therefore, if you are not an expert on how to do deep facial peeling at home, it is advisable to limit yourself to superficial cleansing, maintaining the youth and beauty of your skin.

Indications and restrictions for the procedure

Peeling should be done at home or in a salon only if there are indications for it:

if you have skin with enlarged pores and is prone to oiliness, which requires regular cleansing due to the large amount of impurities penetrating the inner layer of the epidermis;
if your skin begins to fade, it becomes dull and saggy.

However, this does not mean that peeling is contraindicated for normal skin. It can be done to owners of this type of epidermis without fear, but it is worth considering that frequent mechanical and, especially, chemical exposure for no apparent reason is not beneficial. Just follow the measure, carrying out the procedures not too often - once every 3-4 weeks.

However, there are contraindications to peeling that must be taken into account when making a decision:

if there is a strong inflammatory process with a large number of purulent pimples, in this case you create the risk of touching the source of inflammation and deteriorating the condition of the skin;
if any skin diseases are present;
if there are unhealed wounds, stitch marks and other damage on the epidermis;
if the skin is thin and hypersensitive, you should use this procedure with caution - no more than once every 10 days, choosing gommage to prevent any damage.

If you are not completely sure about the safety of home peeling, it is better to limit yourself to masks and mild cleansers. If the condition of the facial skin indicates the need for this procedure, it is advisable to resort to the services of professional craftsmen.

And for those ladies who are sure that facial peeling at home is suitable for them and that recipes can be selected from many existing ones, based on the type of skin and its condition, we will give the following tips.

Peeling options depending on skin type

In order to decide how to exfoliate yourself, you need to consider a number of factors. You need to proceed from your skin type and the problem you want to solve.

The regularity of the procedure depends on the skin type. On average, peeling is done 2 times a month. But if you have thin skin with increased sensitivity, the number of procedures should be reduced to 1 time. Young ladies with combination or oily skin can undergo peeling every 10-12 days.

Thus, the home procedure for cleansing the skin of dead particles has many nuances. To ensure that peeling is effective and does not have any negative consequences, exercise reasonable caution. Choose the right recipes that are right for you, observe the time interval and complete the procedure with additional moisturizing of the skin. If you do everything right, your skin will look young, clean, beautiful and radiant without visiting professional salons.

At home, deep peeling is designed to help cleanse the skin of keratinized scales and residual sebum without resorting to the services of a cosmetologist. Special acids and other components of cleansing compositions penetrate deep into the epidermis, forming an even skin color, eliminating acne and comedones and providing a light lifting effect. The procedure is very quick and easy, requiring virtually no prior preparation. But you must understand that deep exposure, as opposed to superficial exposure, can lead to various side effects.

The essence of peeling

Deep peeling involves cleaning not only the keratinized scales that have accumulated on top of the skin, but also, by affecting other layers of the epidermis, it frees the pores from sebum residues and starts the process of skin rejuvenation.

If you are going to carry out deep peeling at home, be sure to read the contraindications and follow all antiseptic rules. Remember, such cleaning has a higher risk of side effects, in particular burns.

As cosmetology practice shows, superficial peeling is not able to improve skin regeneration and eliminate pimples, blackheads and acne. The result is delayed by 5–7 days. Medium peeling cleanses pores well. But The most effective is considered to be the deep version of the effect on the epidermis. Such peeling not only cleanses, but also starts the process of regeneration of the skin by burning, nourishing and creating access to a better supply of oxygen. The result after a deep peeling procedure is delayed for several months.

Important point: At home, it is prohibited to use highly concentrated compounds (over 20% acids). If you buy ready-made solutions, the peeling agents are washed off with special neutralizers. Making a paste or solution at home? Then, for rinsing, use ordinary slightly acidified water or neutralize the composition with soda solution.

There are various peeling options. Jessner's peeling, carried out with a preparation based on salicylic acid, retinol peeling, facial cleansing with AHA acids and the use of trichloroacetic acid and calcium chloride have proven positive.

Deep peeling:

normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
cleans pores of subcutaneous fat and keratinized scales (dead cells);
eliminates dirt and makeup residues;
tones the skin and improves microcirculation;
saturates cells with oxygen;
makes the skin smooth;
minimizes wrinkles;
smoothes the contour of the face, makes it fit and contributes to the formation of a beautiful oval.

Indications for use

Deep peeling is indicated for both women and men of any age. It is especially relevant during puberty, when changes in the body of adolescents begin, accompanied by excessive secretion of subcutaneous sebum, the formation of blackheads and acne.

The deep peeling procedure is indicated for:

skin texture;
small wrinkles;
greasy;
scars and stretch marks;
age spots;
blackheads and acne;
sagging skin;
dull color of the dermis.

It is not advisable to carry out deep chemical peels in the summer. It is unlikely that you will be able to avoid sun exposure to your face after the procedure. Under the influence of UV rays, skin weakened after cleansing becomes dry, and pigment spots and cracks can form. If you still decide to carry out the procedure in the summer, then for 2 weeks after the session, smear your face with a protective cream with a protection level of at least 30.

Efficiency

To achieve a visible effect in the case of ready-made solutions, 5 sessions at intervals of a week are sufficient. When preparing peeling products yourself, as a rule, more sessions are required - from 8 to 10.

Important point: If you use high concentration calcium chloride, the next cleaning can only be done after a month. During this period, your skin will recover from exposure to aggressive chemicals and acquire a beautiful color.

You shouldn’t get carried away with deep peeling often. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist before the procedure.

Preparatory stage

Before peeling with acids, it is necessary to prepare the skin for exposure to aggressive components several weeks before cleansing. For these purposes, lotions are used, which are used to wipe the face several times a day.

It is advisable to cleanse the dermis with a scrub one day before. A few days before the date of the session, you should protect your skin from sunlight.

Immediately before the start of the session, the skin is cleansed of cosmetic residues using makeup remover products.

Be sure to do an allergy test. Apply the paste or liquid used for peeling to your wrist and wait 10-15 minutes. The absence of any changes on the skin indicates that such peeling can be successfully carried out at home.

Try to carry out the procedure in the evening, when the dermis is calm. In addition, you will have another 8-10 hours left for your skin to rest from the effects of aggressive components during your sleep.

Recipes for preparing peeling compositions

You will not be able to perform deep peeling using fruit or scrub masks prepared at home. You will need to visit the pharmacy and purchase ingredients for peeling products or use ready-made solutions from manufacturers of special cosmetics, such as Dermagenetic, Agera RX, Jan Marini, LA Peel, BeautyMed, Cosmedix.
Cleaning the dermis can also be done using devices. For example, at home they use the Gezatone Ionic or KUS 2000 device, which ensures the absorption of cosmetic components using ultrasound, or the Gezatone Super Wet Cleaner, which cleans with a vacuum.

It is not necessary to buy special peeling cosmetics in specialized stores, paying several tens or even hundreds of dollars for it. You can prepare a special cleansing substance at home.

Chemical peeling can not only cleanse the skin of impurities, but also eliminate acne and other inflammations of the dermis. After it is carried out, the skin will not only acquire a radiant velvety color, but will become more elastic. Getting rid of small wrinkles is guaranteed.

You will need:

10% ammonia - 10 ml;
camphor alcohol - 30 ml;
boric acid - 10 ml;
glycerin - 10 ml;
hydroperite in tablets - 30 mg;
1/3 of a regular bar of soap.

Preparation and use:

In a ceramic or glass container, combine all the alcohols and crushed hydroperite tablets.
Add boric acid and glycerin to the mixture in the correct proportions.
Grate the soap and add the extracted shavings to our base. Mix the ingredients well.
The output should be a creamy consistency.
The resulting mixture can be placed in a jar and placed in the refrigerator. The peeling product is stored in a cool place for several months.
Apply the prepared cream to the skin and wait until it dries.
Rinse off the suspension with a calcium chloride solution and then with warm water.
After peeling is completed, a moisturizer is applied to the skin.

Peeling roll with calcium chloride for complex cleaning

Calcium chloride perfectly exfoliates dead cells and removes formations from pores, consisting of dirt, subcutaneous fat, remnants of cosmetics and keratinized scales. The suspension is prepared using only two ingredients.

You will need:

1 ampoule of calcium chloride (5% solution);
baby soap.

Application:

Cleanse your skin of cosmetics. Degrease with lotion.
Soak a cotton swab in calcium chloride and swipe it over your face.
When the first layer dries a little, immediately apply the second. If you are peeling for the first time, then 4 layers will be enough. For subsequent procedures you will have to apply the product 8 times.
Lubricate the ends with soap with your finger and make massage movements that will ensure that the peeling agent rolls off along with the impurities.
When no more beading occurs, wash your face with warm water.

Interesting to know: Highly concentrated calcium chloride is used in the salon. For home peeling, it is best to take 5–10% product. For the first cleaning procedure, limit yourself to the minimum concentration.

Peeling with retinolic acid - maximum deep cleansing for a long period

Thanks to retinol and glycolic acids, it not only ensures good cleaning of pores, but also improves skin regeneration.

It is considered the deepest among all peelings allowed at home. It is quite traumatic, so compliance with all recommendations is required.

You will need to purchase at the pharmacy:

retinolic acid;
glycolic acid (5%).

Stages of the procedure:

We remove makeup and degrease the skin with lotion.
We moisten the skin with glycolic acid, which will soften the epidermis.
We apply a product based on retinolic acid.
After the time specified in the instructions has passed, wash off the peeling composition with a neutralizer.
After 8 hours, the remaining neutralizer is removed with plain warm water.

After the procedure, redness and burning may occur. During the rehabilitation period, treat the skin with a nourishing cream to prevent cracks from forming on it.

Phenol peeling is a universal remedy for all problems

Phenol can cause a 3rd degree burn, after which the process of restoration of the epidermis begins, as well as the production of collagen, which makes the skin elastic and taut.

To carry out this peeling, seek help from a friend or mother, since your eyes must be closed during the session. But it’s best when an experienced cosmetologist performs the procedure at home.

You will need:

30 ml phenol;
20 ml bidistilled water;
5 ml hexachlorophen;
10 drops croton oil.

Preparation and use:

Combine all ingredients in a ceramic or glass bowl.
Hide your hair under a cap, wash your skin with soap and wipe with alcohol lotion.
Sit on a couch or chair with your face raised at a 45-degree angle.
First, the product is applied to the forehead, then the cheeks, chin and nose. The area near the lips is treated if necessary. The peeling agent is applied in strokes along the edges of the face.
After 3 minutes, the solution must be neutralized. For this, 10–15% sodium bicarbonate is used. Then the composition is washed off with water.

Important point: If a grayish-white coating or blistering occurs, immediately remove the cosmetic product to neutralize it.

Photos before and after

Rehabilitation period

Immediately after the procedure, rinse off the composition with a neutralizer or cold water. To soothe the skin, use a decoction of sage or chamomile.

The recovery period of the dermis will depend on the individual characteristics of the body, compliance with the recommendations of the post-period and the correctness of the procedure itself. Redness, peeling, and the formation of white spots are possible for several days. If such manifestations do not go away within two days, most likely something went wrong.

Be sure to use moisturizing or nourishing creams at the end of the session and in the following days. Preparations based on D-panthenol or baby cream may be suitable. Some cosmetologists prescribe their patients special creams and ointments based on antibiotics, which will prevent the development of inflammatory processes.

Prohibitions:

do not wash your face for a day; in the following days, carefully wash your face with acidified boiled water and lightly dry with a towel;
Do not use decorative cosmetics for 2 days;
for the first 2 weeks, do not apply any other products to the skin that are not intended for the rehabilitation period;
for the first 3 weeks, massage or steam your face;
stay out of the sun for 2 days;
When crusts appear, they are not allowed to be peeled off.

Important point: If the skin develops rashes, severe redness, blisters and age spots that do not go away a week after the procedure, consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist.

Precautionary measures

Every woman who cares for herself wants to deep cleanse the skin using acids at home after studying positive reviews. But the procedure itself has a list of limitations:

pregnancy and breastfeeding;
elevated temperature;
acute respiratory infections and other viral diseases;
taking antibiotics;
diabetes mellitus, thyroid problem;
serious liver and kidney diseases;
oncology;
herpes in the acute stage;
tendency to scarring;
fungal skin infections and severe inflammatory processes;
close location of vessels;
wounds and cuts;
allergy to the components of the prepared or purchased product;
critical days;
taking retinoids.

If the instructions for the procedure are not followed, the following negative manifestations are possible:

redness that lasts more than 48 hours;
burns and blistering;
formation of pigment spots;
exacerbation of herpes and the appearance of a large amount of acne;
excessive peeling;

To avoid negative consequences, strictly maintain the chemical composition on your face for the right time, and also adhere to the interval specified in the instructions. If severe burning or pain occurs, remove the paste or acid immediately without waiting for the specified period of exposure. Strictly adhere to the rules of the rehabilitation period.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of the procedure carried out independently are:

duration of effect;
no special training required;
saving money and time;
the result is noticeable after the first session;
It really cleanses the pores and makes the skin smooth and uniform.

As with any other procedure, Deep peeling has its drawbacks. For example, you will probably encounter:

long rehabilitation period;
increased sensitivity of the skin to the irritant;
some side effects.

Also, women living in areas with poor ecology or in hot climates are not recommended to go outside for the first few days. In the summer, when going out into the sun, you need to protect your skin from ultraviolet exposure for several weeks.

It is no coincidence that deep peeling gained its popularity. If you follow the recommendations of the procedure and the rehabilitation period, you can really get rid of acne, bumps and wrinkles. The results of such deep cleaning will last for several months, or even years.
