Homemade peeling with fruit acids. Products with fruit acids

Modern cosmetic preparations use the latest scientific developments aimed at obtaining the most natural, clear and youthful skin. Nowadays, a variety of products containing alpha-hydroxyl or fruit acids are very popular. They help fight skin imperfections and actively rejuvenate, brighten and smooth it.

Nowadays, high-quality peeling with fruit acids for the face can be done even in summer, as evidenced by numerous reviews of girls and women who have tried this procedure. It has its own nuances, but the result is very noticeable.

Now there is no longer a need to buy expensive imported drugs, because reviews of domestically produced Kora cosmetics have proven its high effectiveness. Reviews of “Skinlite” from South Korea speak about the same thing - these drugs, at a low cost, are of excellent quality and give excellent results.

Alpha hydroxyl acids include the following:

Glycolic.
Dairy.
Almond.
Apple.
Lemon.
Wine and many others.

These substances in different proportions and combinations are included in cosmetic products, for example, “Bark”, including fruit peeling. Their action is based on the gentle exfoliation of a thin surface layer of dead cells.

If this procedure is not carried out regularly, then with dry skin you can get a dull and gray complexion, peeling and rough wrinkles, and with oily skin you can get a scattering of inflammations, wide pores and high greasiness. The use of AHA-based products helps to get rid of most of these problems gently, without effort and unnecessary trauma to the skin.

Most acid peeling is performed in a salon setting. There it is more effective due to the high percentage of acid content. But at home you can also use gels, tonics and creams with a similar effect, as well as special masks with a low AHA content.

Their action is not as fast as that of professional products, but such facial procedures can be done in the summer without fear of hyperpigmentation and other troubles.

“Bark” preparations are especially popular among our women - they are affordable, can be easily bought in a store, and their quality is at the level of famous brands. In many cases, Kora cosmetics are even superior to imported analogues. Reviews of “Skinlite” also hold the same high positions. Their gel with fruit acids is one of the market leaders in popularity among customers.

Indications for use of peeling

Peeling with fruit acids can be used at almost any age, but it is especially popular between 25 and 35 years. There are no serious age-related skin problems during this period, but there is increased oiliness, porosity, acne and the first signs of aging.

A little older women may need a salon procedure, while for young people, such peeling can replace a mild product for home use from the brands already mentioned. There are especially frequent reviews of Skinlite cosmetics, which can quickly tidy up pimply, oily skin.

A pleasant bonus of using mild exfoliants is the fact that facial peels can be done even in the hot summer, however, subject to special rules.

Nevertheless, this opportunity allows you to maintain the good condition of oily skin, which in the heat especially often suffers from high greasiness, becomes covered with acne and “blackheads”.

Peeling procedures in the salon

Peeling with fruit acids in the salon takes an average of half an hour and is carried out using a special technique.

Carrying out fruit peeling in summer

Salon facial peeling can be done in the summer only to a limited number of people and with great caution. If you live in the north, where there are few sunny days, and you know the characteristics of your skin well, peeling can be performed, guided by the above safety rules.

There are very good reviews of “Holy Land” online. This Israeli brand knows very well what strong sun exposure is and produces several lines of products with acids for different types of skin.

Most popular brands

Peeling with fruit acids is widespread; it is produced by many cosmetic companies. It is necessary to separate products for professional use that contain a high percentage of AHAs, and those products for the face that can be used without fear in the summer.

“Holi Land” cosmetics, as well as “Kora” brand preparations, can belong to both categories, since they contain many different products, most of which are successfully used by cosmetologists in beauty salons, as well as as home care.

Becoming the owner of healthy, youthful, glowing skin these days is not at all difficult. Some cosmetic procedures are so effective and easy to carry out that they can be easily performed not only in the salon, but also at home. The most popular peeling with fruit acids. Its distinctive features are a minimum of contraindications and side effects, the ability to eliminate fine wrinkles, and improve the structure and color of the skin.

general information

Procedures of this kind involve the use of fruit acids, which are naturally found in berries and fruits, and it is to them that they owe their official name.

Hundreds of centuries ago in Rome, Greece, Egypt and even Rus', juices and extracts were used to maintain youth through lotions, masks and even baths.

Depending on the type and intensity of modern drugs used, peeling with fruit acids can be either superficial or medium.

However, most experts still agree that such an intervention can be considered the most gentle and delicate, and also very effective at the same time.

Main types of acids

There are several types of fruit acids, each of which has specific characteristics and purposes.

Thus, it is customary to select drugs based on:

Citric acid. Extracted from citrus fruits and pineapples. It is used infrequently and not in its pure form, but has excellent disinfecting and lightening properties.
Malic acid. It is naturally present in tomatoes and, of course, apples. Actively promotes stimulation of internal regenerative processes and strong exfoliation of the skin.
Glycolic acid. Contained in cane and green grapes. Due to the minimal size of the substance's molecules, it easily penetrates the pores and is absorbed almost completely. Reviews from experts contain information that peeling with glycolic elements is indicated in the fight against increased pigmentation.
Tartaric acid. The source is fermented wines, various varieties of grapes and even oranges. Helps replenish the lack of moisture, eliminate dead cells through pronounced peeling and deeply moisturize the skin.
Lactic acid. Contrary to popular belief, it is found not only in dairy products, but also in apples, blueberries, other fruits and even vegetables. It is used most often and is characterized by maximum hydration of the dermis.

Fruit peeling has quite a lot of different indications, among which, first of all, it should be noted:

Pale, unhealthy complexion, gray skin tone.
Heterogeneous skin structure, tuberosity.
Reduced dermal tone, prevention of the appearance and development of ptosis.
The first, shallow expression wrinkles.
Acne.

In cosmetology, fruit peelings are mainly used to care for the skin of the face and neck. They are chosen by girls aged 25 years and older.

Procedures that involve a superficial effect are good as a preventive measure, while intermediate methods are more relevant for the treatment of moderately severe problems.

Operating principle

At its core, any chemical peeling (all fruit peelings belong to this type) represents a mild burn of the skin, through which the upper layer of the dermis is removed, moisturized and the launch of its protective functions (restoration, collagen production, normalization of blood circulation processes).

Main stages

Peeling with fruit acids refers to procedures, the positive result of which is formed only after attending several cosmetic sessions.

Their exact number is determined by a specialist, but on average the course of treatment and rejuvenation is about 8 – 10 peels with an interval of 7 to 14 days.

If you want to take such a course, it is recommended to visit a specialist in advance for consultation. At this stage, the cosmetologist will tell you about contraindications and possible negative consequences of exposure, determine the type of facial skin and existing problems, the type of necessary ANA acids and their permissible concentration.

It would be a good idea to check with a specialist about the need for preliminary training. In most cases, facial peeling is carried out after a week of using creams with a low content of fruit acids.

The session itself lasts approximately 30 minutes. During this time, the specialist manages to pre-cleanse the skin of external impurities and makeup, treat problem areas with the selected composition, maintain the required amount of treatment exposure, neutralize it, wash off any remaining drug and apply a soothing mask.

Rehabilitation is carried out at home and is very easy to carry out. So, the skin will need to be moisturized regularly.

The easiest way to do this is with thermal water purchased at a pharmacy. Do not forget about fatty ointments that promote regeneration and nourishment of the skin. Most often Panthenol, Bepanten and Solcoseryl are used for these purposes.

We should not forget about protecting the skin from sun rays using cosmetics with a high protection factor.

Peeling based on AHA acids is tolerated quite easily by most patients. During the manipulation, no severe pain is felt; a rare reaction is a slight burning sensation, which passes quite quickly and does not cause any inconvenience.

However, we should not forget that side effects may well appear after the procedure. Thus, patient reviews indicate frequent manifestations of skin redness, swelling, itching and burning, mild pain, a feeling of tightness and flaking.

In some cases, more pronounced negative reactions (burns, allergies) may be observed, but this happens extremely rarely.

Contraindications

The use of AHA acids for cosmetic purposes is very safe and beneficial, but must be done wisely. To do this, it is imperative to adhere to the list of basic contraindications, which includes the following points:

Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
A sharp decrease in immunity, accompanied by exacerbation of chronic diseases, viral infections and other manifestations of a similar nature.
Oncology, diabetes.
Individual intolerance to the components in the peeling preparation.
Skin hypersensitivity, tendency to form scars, severe tanning.
Open wounds, herpes, active inflammatory processes on the skin of the face or body.

Fruit peeling therapy is considered a rather expensive pleasure, and reviews from many patients confirm this statement.

On average, the minimum price for a session starts from 2,000 rubles, but in the end it can be four or five thousand. The final amount usually depends on factors such as:

Type and concentration of the drug used.
Experience and qualifications of a specialist, pricing policy of a salon or medical clinic.
The size of the problem area and the complexity of the problem.

Fruit peeling at home can be performed superficially, or as a replenishment and cleansing of the middle layer of the skin.

First of all, you need to decide on the purpose of the procedure; if you just need to get rid of pimples or acne, then we use a superficial scrub, but if the problem is wrinkles, then we will need a deep homemade fruit facial peeling.

One of the most useful procedures for the skin is peeling. It helps cleanse pores from deep impurities, rejuvenate the skin and make it fresh and velvety. Peeling can be done by a professional cosmetologist or you can do it yourself, in your usual home conditions. We will devote our article today to a story about peeling based on various fruits.

Who needs fruit peeling and why do it?

All women who take care of their appearance know about the benefits of peeling and perform it regularly to improve the condition of their skin and maintain their beauty and health. This procedure is not recommended for those with very dry and sensitive skin types. All girls over 20 years of age should undergo peeling at least once a month (ideally, once a week).

Peeling helps the skin get rid of dead skin particles, thereby accelerating the physiological process of regeneration and rejuvenation of the epidermis. The upper layer of the dermis needs this procedure the most, because... It is he who comes into contact with the external environment and receives a maximum of harmful substances that contribute to the deterioration of the skin. Over time, this layer begins to get tired, fade, lose elasticity and appearance, however, after complete death, the cells are replaced by new ones that have formed on the layer below, they are the ones who return the face to its previous state and healthy appearance. Peeling can speed up the process of cell replacement, which “cleanses” old cells and gives room for the development of new ones. The older a woman is, the more difficult it is for new cells to break through to the surface of the skin, so peeling is a mandatory procedure for those ladies who want to prolong the beauty and youth of their skin.

The presence of dead dermal cells on the face leads to a deterioration not only of its condition, but also of its external appearance. This epidermis becomes sluggish, peeling and irritation can be noticed in some areas, and the complexion becomes gray and uneven. Dead skin becomes rough to the touch, its surface acquires unevenness and other imperfections. Peeling will help solve these problems and return your face softness, healthy color, silkiness and external attractiveness.

Fruit peeling is classified as superficial; it effectively removes dead skin, remnants of subcutaneous gland secretions and cosmetics, substances deposited on the skin from the air, etc. This procedure improves oxygen exchange, refreshes the epidermis, relieves the dermis of shine and blackheads, smooths out small wrinkles etc. The intensity of peeling depends on the type of skin: oily dermis needs a more rapid rhythm of finger movements when applying the scrub, normal skin does not require much effort to cleanse the pores, and dry skin needs soft and gentle cleansing.

What fruits can be used for peeling?

To ensure that peeling does not cause harm to the skin, it is necessary to correctly select fruits that are suitable in composition, action and presence of acids.

The leader among natural derma cleansers is glycolic acid, which exfoliates dead skin particles, softens it, increases elasticity and fights pronounced pigmentation. This acid is present in green grapes, sugar cane and oranges. Ascorbic, citric and malic acids, as well as lactic and acetic acids derived from them, are no less effective. In combination with glycolic acid, they acquire additional beneficial properties: smooth the epidermis, tone it, brighten it and relieve inflammation. The listed acids are found in apples, pineapples, lemons, red currants, blueberries, oranges, strawberries, grapefruits and cherries.

To increase the healing properties and effectiveness of peeling, additional components can be added to the means for its implementation: chicken protein, ground nuts, flour from various cereals and potatoes, semolina, rolled oats, etc. With their help, peeling will help the skin to cleanse itself more efficiently and deeply, and also narrow pores, soften the epidermis, moisturize it and enrich it with minerals, vitamins and other beneficial substances.

Peeling. When applying the scrub to the skin, avoid sudden movements and do not rub it as hard as you can, otherwise redness, peeling and even scratches may remain on the surface. The scrub should be rubbed in with your fingertips or a soft sponge, using light massaging movements in a circle. If the product consists of 1 component (fruits or berries only), then leave the scrub on the skin for 15 minutes, if it contains 2 or more components, leave it on the skin for 20 minutes. Remove the product with warm water without using cosmetics.

Apply a peeling substance with fruit acids to clean facial skin. There may be some slight tingling and burning at this stage, which is a natural reaction of the skin to acidic substances.
The peeling mixture is kept for a certain time, according to the instructions.
Apply neutralizer and leave for 1 minute.
Then it is thoroughly washed off with clean, cool water.
A cream with a moisturizing and soothing effect is applied to the face. In addition, the peeling procedure can be extended with a serum and mask, taking into account your skin type.

Do not forget that at home, fruit-acid cleaning can only be done if the composition does not have an increased aggressive effect. Of course, the effect from them will not be as strong as those performed in beauty salons, but they are completely harmless, and the risk of unwanted consequences is minimal. In this case, the final result will be exactly the same as from a salon procedure, only not the first time, but after 3-4 procedures.

Post-peeling care

Homemade facial cleansing procedures with fruit acids, although they are considered mild and their effect is gentle, after they are carried out it is necessary to follow a number of rules, because such peeling to some extent destroys the upper layer of the epidermis. Usually after it there is slight redness on the face, which is considered normal and passes quickly.

The first days after the procedure, be sure to avoid stressful situations, such as sunlight, and going to the solarium, which can lead to the appearance of age spots. If you use decorative cosmetics, then choose only hypoallergenic or soft-textured ones. Let your facial skin rest, breathe and absorb as much beneficial substances as possible.

Also, during the post-peeling period, you should not use scrubs and other products with abrasive particles that can damage the epidermis. An excellent option would be to use peeling agents with acids with a low percentage of the acid that was present in the peeling. This approach is explained by the fact that this amount of this acid is quite enough to dissolve exfoliated skin particles without any damage, as well as prolong the effect of the peeling procedure and promote comfortable healing of the epidermis.

Possible complications after peeling

Peeling procedure using fruit acids is one of the most popular types of facial cleansing. When used correctly, it does not cause any negative consequences, however, in some cases, skin redness, peeling, itchy discomfort and a feeling of “tightness” of the skin may be observed, which is a normal phenomenon that quickly passes.

Although such peeling has a gentle and gentle effect, after its use the risk of developing pigment spots increases several times. Therefore, it is better to use it in autumn and winter. To avoid burns, you cannot increase the concentration of the peeling mixture above that indicated in the recipe and the time it is kept on the face. Do not forget that the results of the procedure do not appear immediately, and if you overdo it, you risk waking up in the morning with severe redness and damaged skin.

Exfoliation at home

For home use, you need to select superficial fruit peels; this will be enough to get a positive result. The use of fruit peels with a higher acid content can lead to burns of the epidermis; they are done only in salons.

Also, do not forget that the peeling mixture cannot be applied around the eyes unless indicated in the instructions, since there are peeling products for the skin around the eyes. If this is your first procedure, then the duration of the procedure should not be more than three minutes, but the duration of the next one can be increased by a couple of minutes. If pre-peeling preparation has not been carried out, then you should not keep the peeling for more than 1 minute for the first time.

How often can you exfoliate?

Each woman has an individual skin type, so the frequency of fruit-acid treatments should be carried out taking into account this important nuance and according to the information provided in the instructions.

Also important is the woman’s age and the individual characteristics of the condition of her facial skin. The optimal frequency for peeling using fruit acids is once a week. However, for oily skin the procedure can be done 2 times a week, but for dry skin - 1 time every 14 days.
