Who are not experienced with chemical peeling and still buy creams for skin cleansing - he lost a lot, but still on top makes skin worse (especially if it is a hard scrubs).
The chemical peeling using alpha-hydroxy acids, which are not only able to penetrate deep into the dermis, but the depth is still governed by a beautician. The most well-known and commonly used in cosmetic clinics alpha hydroxy acids - glycolic acid.
What it can
First of all I want to say that the glycolic acid to all acids used in chemical peeling, the smallest molecular size. This suggests that it is able to seep deeper into the rest of the skin. This super-ability, it can be also due to its low level of acidity.
What happens when glycolic acid gets on the skin
Almost immediately appear Shelushkov, redness and sebaceous glands immediately cease to allocate fat.
Because of its low level of acidity, it is in contact with the skin dramatically reduces its pH. The lipids protective mantle of the skin immediately after dating destabilized with an acid, cellular bridges between protein compounds are destroyed as the communication between the cells of the stratum corneum. Hence, the immediate formation of a peeling.
The result of such destructive power of glycolic acid is thin and smooth the patient's skin.
As glycolic acid rejuvenates the face
Here is a very interesting point: as it destroys the cells of the stratum corneum and "making fun" of the lipids, the skin receives a signal immediately to repair itself. As a result of this process is started intensive production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Estheticians this process is called remodeling of the dermis. Collagen and hyaluronic acid, as we know, are responsible for the elasticity of the skin and its natural moisture - in the complex, for rejuvenation.
And the higher the concentration of glycolic acid and lower pH, the more intense will be started the process of skin remodeling. Here it is: destroyed in order to build better.
As a result, such an acidic peeling epidermis (outer skin layer) makes thinner and dermis - thickens. The stratum corneum is reduced - wrinkles are smoothed. The dermis becomes more dense and rises - wrinkles are filled from the bottom and become less noticeable for a long time.
Due to the destruction of glycolic acid accelerates cell renewal, and the speed of their regeneration characteristic of young skin.
Purification of the sebaceous glands acid helps prevent formation of comedones, which is very important for a fat and sensitive skin.
Incidentally, in low concentrations (up to 20%) glycolic acid restores to normal synthesis of melanin. He is responsible for the tan and protects the skin from the negative effects of contact with the skin to sunlight.
What is important to know about peeling glycolic acid to your skin is not damaged
Peeling is done so for at least a month before the trip to the resort or before the summer. After peeling the skin a couple of weeks is very sensitive to UV light. Exposure to the sun, even an hour can cause serious burns or hyperpigmentation.
glycolic acid for skin with acne also dangerous: since the protective layer of the skin removed - high risk of inflammation. To reduce the chance of infection, do not forget the following:
1) how to wash their hands often;
2) change constantly linens, and that the house was clean (dust - your main enemy is the first 3-4 weeks);
3) after each wash it is necessary to soak the face disposable wipes;
4) Make-up should be applied only disposable sponges.
These sanitary measures should be adhered to by all holders of the skin with acne. For those who strongly sensitive skin - such peeling is usually contraindicated. Because it dehydrates the skin, and the skin will peel off constantly, and it is - one of the main causes of rosacea and erythema.
