Almost every modern woman met the concept of skin peeling. The word peeling came to us from the English verb to peel - to purify. Therefore, many cosmetics that have cleansing or exfoliating properties are referred to as peeling.
To date, most often use several types of peeling - chemical, mechanical, vacuum and laser. Each of them has different effects on the skin. The procedure of peeling is best done in the salon, since without certain experience it is possible to harm your skin.
At home, you can make a mechanical face and body peeling. Our next advice, we hope, will be useful to you.Peeling faces at home can be done with the help of cosmetics (scrubs and peelings), which contain the smallest artificial or natural solid particles (abrasives). It can be crushed apricot bones, nuts, pieces of therapeutic mud or sand, special wax. Solid microparticles exfoliate the upper dead skin, which prevents it from breathing and being renewed. The skin is released from the stale dirt, smoothed.
