Our largest and most attractive organ – the skin!
Like many things on this planet, the skin goes through a cycle in which the top, visible layer of skin renews itself: In younger years, this typically takes about 28 days – later, it takes significantly longer. During this time, the skin does an incredible amount of work. It regenerates and renews itself from the ground up.
To let the new, regenerated skin shine, it needs support in shedding dead skin cells from the surface. By using an exfoliator, you encourage the skin cells to continue renewing themselves at a youthful pace.
Our exfoliators are a real booster for the regeneration process. They stimulate blood circulation, refine the skin’s texture, and make the skin more receptive to subsequent products. Intensive exfoliating options, such as chemical peels with AHAs (commonly known as fruit acids) and natural exfoliating particles, can, with regular use, visibly reduce acne scars and pigmentation spots. One thing is clear – after an exfoliation, the skin looks immediately smoother and fresher.
WHAT IS A PEELING?
Peelings, also known as exfoliants or exfoliating treatments, are cosmetic products designed to remove dead skin cells from the surface by either gently abrading or chemically dissolving them. This process leaves the skin smoother, more even, and gives it a radiant complexion.
WHAT TYPES OF PEELS ARE THERE?
There are various types of peels, including mechanical, chemical, and enzymatic peels. Mechanical peels contain abrasive particles such as salt, quartz sand, or bamboo beads that physically abrade dead skin cells. We focus on using natural ingredients and avoid microplastic particles. Chemical peels use fruit acids like glycolic acid or tartaric acid to dissolve dead skin cells. Enzymatic peels contain enzymes, such as those from papaya, that break down the adhesive substance between dead skin cells to loosen them.
WHEN SHOULD YOU USE A PEEL?
There are many good reasons to regularly exfoliate the skin. If the skin appears dull and grayish, an abrasive facial or body peel can stimulate circulation and create a rosy complexion. If the skin appears enlarged-pored, it can be refined with a peel. To boost skin renewal, a fruit acid peel is ideal. For those prone to blackheads and pimples, enzymes can help reduce them. A peel should be used once or twice a week, depending on your skin type. People with oily or acne-prone skin may be able to use peels more frequently than those with dry or sensitive skin.
WHAT DOES A PEELING DO FOR THE SKIN?
Peelings remove dead, grayish skin cells from the skin's surface using different methods. This results in a smoother skin texture, an even complexion, and a faster regeneration process. At the same time, they stimulate circulation and optimize the oxygen and nutrient supply to the skin. Peelings can provide a positive boost for anti-aging and problem skin.
HOW TO APPLY PEELINGS CORRECTLY
For abrasive peels with exfoliating particles, apply the peel to damp skin and gently rub in circular motions. Then rinse the peel thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat the skin dry. Enzymatic peels should be applied thickly, like the back of a knife, to the skin and kept moist during the exposure time.
Enzymes, such as papain from papaya, are only effective in a moist medium. Be sure to remove the enzymatic peel thoroughly to stop its action. Fruit acid peels with AHA or BHA are often applied as a treatment by professionals. Depending on the concentration and pH level, they have high intensity and precise exposure time.
For strong, professional peels, the chemical effect is interrupted by using a basic neutralizer. For at-home products, neutralization with plenty of clean water is usually sufficient. Our products are free from microplastics and contain nurturing ingredients that gently exfoliate your skin cells and improve your complexion. Treat your skin to the care it deserves and experience glowing results with DR.BELTER® peels.
