How does body peeling differ from scrub

The concepts of "peeling" and "scrub" appeared a long time ago. Ever since time immemorial, people have used a washcloth and a broom in a bath for steaming body skin - these are the ancestors of scrub and peeling. Our skin is constantly in need of cleansing the pores and updating the surface epidermis to give it youth, smoothness and radiance. Both procedures are designed to clean the epidermis of dead particles. What is the difference between them?

The upper layer of the epidermis consists of several layers of cells that are born in the basal layer of the dermis, gradually moving towards the surface of the skin and performing a protective function. If this process is disrupted due to age-related changes or under the influence of an aggressive external environment, the upper stratum corneum becomes rougher, acquires an unhealthy gray tint, various irregularities, spots, inflammations appear on it.

The basis of the scrub is a gel or creamy texture with an abrasive filler made from crushed seeds of fruits and berries, a nutshell, sea salt or synthetic balls. Injury and damage to the skin when applying the scrub is excluded, so it can be freely used at home, but it is necessary to take into account the size of the contained particles, their hardness and concentration in the scrub. For easy cleaning, you can use a scrub for prevention, and peeling is preferable for solving serious skin problems.

This unique tool also belongs to the category of scrubs, but it has even more gentle effect, does not injure at all and does not scratch the skin. Its action is based on the chemicals that make up. When applied to the skin, it is held for several minutes until completely dry and forms a thin film, which is then rolled in circular motions together with softened keratinous particles of skin.

Due to the effect on the skin layers, the peeling is soft, superficial, medium and deep. Deep and middle peeling is used for scars and scars, stretch marks and age fading, age spots and acne. But only the experienced cosmetologist can determine what penetration you require.

Now the line of cosmetic services offers the following types of peeling:

The upper layer of the epidermis is removed using abrasive particles under pressure along with a stream of air and water. Using special grinding nozzles, the skin layers are removed, peeled off and the skin is polished. In cases of serious skin defects, hardware peeling is carried out using a vacuum, laser or ultrasound.

In fact, it is a massage with special peeling agents. The types of mechanical cleaning of the face from the hardened particles include a throw when the peeling and polishing of the epidermis is carried out with the help of rotating brushes. Cryo-peeling is based on the action of liquid nitrogen, when ultra-low temperatures cause freezing and destruction of the surface layer of the skin, which leads to activation of a lower layer and rejuvenation of the epidermis. Among the novelties of mechanical cleaning - diamond face peeling, as well as cleansing hands and feet in special baths with Garr Ruff fish.

This type of peeling is close in its effects to scrubbing, as it provides a gentle surface effect with the help of special enzymes (enzymes) of animals, plants or bacteria. It can be used even for delicate skin prone to the formation of a couperose mesh.

It is produced using chemicals, acids, which should cause a slight burn of the skin, as a result of which the epidermis is stimulated to heal itself and rejuvenate. Most often, it is recommended only for arms and legs and certain parts of the body that have lost elasticity. High-quality chemical peels are able to heal the skin and reduce wrinkles.

In order for the skin to recover better after peeling, it needs thorough care at home. Moreover, immediately after the chemical peeling, you can not use the cream, because the epidermis is still very inflamed: it is better to use mousses and foams containing panthenol, which do not require rubbing. And about the third day, when the process of peeling begins, cosmetologists recommend making moisturizing compresses with the use of caring and regenerating components: omega-acids, phospholipids and antioxidants, as well as masks with lactic acid and allantoin, which reduce inflammation, excessive pigmentation and promote healing.

These procedures can not be performed in cases of pregnancy and lactation, since some toxic substances contained in the means of cleansing may adversely affect the development of the fetus or penetrate into the milk. Peeling is not allowed if there are papillomas, moles or kelloid tissue on the skin surface, which can be injured and injured in the process, as well as in case of fever and malaise, dermatological diseases or herpes, if there is a fresh tan, tattoo or is allergic to cosmetic products.
