You should know that our skin renews itself approximately every 28 days. During the skin renewal process, the body sheds up to 500 million skin cells. These dead cells stick to the skin in the form of fine skin flakes and cover it like a veil. The result: our skin looks dull, grey and poorly supplied with blood. In addition, this "cellular waste" causes our skin to age faster because it slows down cell renewal.
How do I remove the dead cells?
Peelings are an effective way to counteract all of this. Peelings act like a fine polish on our skin and are effective smoothers without attacking or irritating it. During this cleansing process, the top layer of skin is gently removed to create a smooth and even complexion . The skin regains its natural glow and is optimally prepared for daily care. Peelings have a fantastic immediate effect, but not only from an aesthetic point of view.
What does a peeling do?
Peelings promote blood circulation in the skin and stimulate the formation of new cells . In addition to improving blood circulation, peels also stimulate natural collagen production - the best way to counteract wrinkles. The skin appears plump and full and the premature appearance of wrinkles is reduced. Peelings also free our skin from external environmental influences (such as fine dust) to which it is exposed every day. The skin surface and pores are cleansed and the complexion regains its natural radiance .
Keratolytic peels such as enzyme, glycol, fruit or lactic acid peels have an extremely positive effect on our skin. They are actually able to gently loosen the stuck cells on the skin's surface and then remove them with the help of small abrasive particles .
What types of peelings are there?
Basically, you can differentiate between chemical, mechanical and enzymatic peelings . Glycolic, lactic, fruit or salicylic acid are most commonly used for chemical peelings . These acids cause the protein in the skin to coagulate and thus peel off superficial cells. As this makes the complexion very sensitive to light, it is essential to apply a skin care product with sun protection afterwards.
Mechanical peelings , as the name suggests, work mechanically using small beauty aids. They contain small, visible and noticeable abrasive particles that act like a fine polish on the skin when massaged. Mechanical peelings are very well tolerated - chemical peelings are better for impure skin.
Enzymatic peels are the best choice for sensitive skin types. Enzymes, for example from papaya, break down protein bridges that hold the cell structures of the stratum corneum together. This loosens dead cells and they are removed from the surface after a short exposure time. Enzyme peels are also suitable for impure skin.
What are the benefits of a double peeling?
The double peeling combines the advantages of two different peelings and thus improves the cleansing effect. For example, formulations with mechanical and enzymatic effects. Fine bamboo extracts are often used as a mechanical component. They are natural peeling particles and gently polish the surface of the skin. Papaya enzymes are the perfect addition; they penetrate even deeper and have antibacterial and antioxidant properties. They have a moisturizing effect even when applied and do not leave the skin feeling dry or tense, but rather soothe and balance the skin.
How do you use a double peeling?
Double peels and scrubs are generally not intended for daily use, as this could lead to dryness and dehydration. Depending on the skin type, peels or double peels can be used 1 to a maximum of 3 times a week. This keeps the natural pH value and lipids in balance.
When using peeling products, "less is more" applies because less pressure is needed than is often assumed. So you don't need to scrub your skin intensively to achieve the best possible effect; the highly effective ingredients do that for you.
Apply the double peeling to well-cleansed skin and leave it on for 5 minutes so that the enzymatic effect can fully develop on your skin. Then gently massage the peeling in with your wet fingers in a circular motion and feel the fine mechanical abrasive particles on your skin. Then clean your skin with lukewarm water and dry it carefully. Beautiful, smooth, fine-pored and well-circulated skin is immediately visible and noticeable. Valuable essences applied afterwards are now absorbed fantastically.
Speaking of being careful - when peeling and drying, don't rub too hard, otherwise you could damage the sensitive surface of your skin. After the double peeling, your skin is ready to receive care. Now apply a moisturizing serum or skin cream, feel how gratefully your skin absorbs it and enjoy a smooth, deeply cleansed and visibly cared for complexion.
Peeling as a basis for beautiful summer skin.
Have you already booked your summer vacation? Then you should prepare your skin now and definitely include a double peeling in your skincare routine. If you dream of a healthy and even tan, you need a smooth and even complexion as a basis. The irregular cell exchange mechanism can lead to unsightly spots when sunbathing. Double peelings counteract this and clear up the skin's appearance in advance. Face creams, sun protection, tanning products or make-up are absorbed more evenly through regular peeling and the result is a harmonious complexion.
The conclusion: A clarifying double peeling promotes cell renewal in the skin and frees it of dead skin cells. The dull veil gives way to a natural glow and when used 1-2 times a week, the skin becomes more even and smoother, and care products are absorbed better and more evenly.
